Be enthusiastic!
流暢さを学ぶ最後のレッスンです。ジェスチャー、アイ・コンタクトやイントネーションを駆使した、聞き手の関心を引く方法をご説明致します。
Showing enthusiasm and confidence will make you a compelling presenter and an interesting conversation partner, and it will boost your test score.
What kind of enthusiastic vocabulary can you use? For example: amazing, fantastic...
Your instructor will ask you some questions. Give a very short, confident and enthusiastic answer.
For example:
A: What's your favorite food?
B: Hmm, it has to be tacos! They're fantastic!
A: Is your hometown a good place to live?
B: Oh, yes. Absolutely. I'm from Vancouver, Canada. It's such a gorgeous city.
Here are a few ways to show enthusiasm:
- word stress/intonation;
- word choice;
- eye contact; and
- gestures.
Practice each one with your teacher.
Now that you've practiced showing confidence and enthusiasm, try giving a full answer to some speaking-test-style questions.
