要想使自已的英语口语多姿多彩，魅力无穷，并能很快吸引对方，仅仅流利快速是不够的。许多英语专业毕业生在同外国人交流过程中，经常出现尴尬的场面，两个人都无法准确理解对方。
        中国学生语速倒是很快，但由于用词的不准确，表达方式的不贴切以及过分追求难词造成的歧义都会使双方感到交流的不畅快，所以，外国人评价中国学生的口语是“Too strange to be true !”(太奇怪，不真实)或“Too beautiful to be natural !”（用词华丽但不自然）使言谈增色，就需要你灵活运用外国人经常使用的习惯说话，包括习语，不过时的俚语及大量的富有特色的语句。
        不要害怕模仿，只要运用得当，你尽可以引经据典，洋洋洒洒。

1. 当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说“You are so boring “.(你真烦！)。“Shut up !”（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。

2. 要想说人“气色好”。 “You look fine !”当然不错，可如果你说”You’re in the pink !”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。

3. “他精力充沛”美国人说：“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。

4. “久仰”某人的时候，说“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。

5. 代问他人好当然能用”Please remember me to your sister .” 或”Please give my best wishes to your father ”不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说， “Please give my love to Jim。”

6. 在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you .”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”
