表达不出时的对话填充物
1、How should I put it? 我该怎么说呢？
注意事项：
这句话让你感觉你是在寻找最恰当的表达方式同时也提醒对方你接下来要表达的内容是复杂的，有承上启下的作用。但是一定要注意不要过于频繁的使用，不然会让考官感到一头雾水。
2、What's the word I am looking for? 什么词什么说法最能表达我的意思呢？
拓展：
What's the phrase/expression l am looking for?
举例：
What's the word l am looking for? Don't remind me . Ahahh,monopoly excatly（我想说什么来着，别提醒我。啊，准确来说是“垄断”）
注意事项：
这句话表明了你是真的在认真思考，说这句话通常不是真的在提问，而是给自己时间过渡。一定要有问有答，且问答的间隔不能太长，自然停顿可以。
3、it's just not coming to me 这个词就是怎么都想不起来啊
拓展：
it slipped my mind-我疏忽了忘了
总结：表达不出时的对话填充物一定要适量使用，偶尔用用增加了口语的自然地道，但如果全篇都是会显得这个人非常飘，谈话无内容。
02
长话短说实用短语
Basically 主要的，基本上
恰当句子举例：
Basically, her job is to deal with foreign customers.（基本上，他的工作就是负责国外客户。）
好处：
说到这个词意思就在暗示对方，细节不必多说，马上要说的就是最核心和最重要的内容。
For the most part 总的来说
拓展：
Overall,In brief, In short ,All in all
恰当句子举例：
For the most part ,she is a good girl.（总的来说，她是一个好女孩。）
Boils down to 归结为
拓展：
It all boils down to.归根结底
恰当例子举例：
The issue really boils down to whether customers will be willing to pay more for the same product or not.（这预归结于客户愿不愿意花更多的钱买同样的东西。）
好处 ：
这个短语非常形象，就像沸腾的蒸汽都蒸发掉了，只剩下最重要的东西。
总结：
学会了这些短语，在雅思考试中，当表达跟不上思想时，再也不用害怕支支吾吾会尴尬了。用短语不仅能给自己思考的时间，也能给考官树立更好的印象。
