后面的任何問(wèn)題都可以如法炮制，只要回答者能夠用多句話來(lái)回答問(wèn)題，交流的感覺(jué)會(huì)變得更加好。平時(shí)要有意識(shí)的訓(xùn)練自己用5句話回答任何問(wèn)題，這樣的話就可以在面對(duì)任何問(wèn)題的時(shí)候都不會(huì)沒(méi)有話說(shuō)（當(dāng)然，這個(gè)訓(xùn)練的目的是為了大家抓住鍛煉口語(yǔ)多說(shuō)，不意味著任何問(wèn)題從實(shí)質(zhì)上講都需要說(shuō)5句話，5是個(gè)虛數(shù)也是個(gè)實(shí)數(shù)），包括那些你不知道答案的問(wèn)題，比如：
A: Do you know how many stars are there in the sky? (口頭逼到可以不太講究語(yǔ)序)
B: This is a question too complicated for me to answer. As far as I know, the number of stars is uncertain since science and technology are developing everyday and we can not be so sure about the number of stars we have discovered, not to mention those unknown to us. The fact of matter is we need to see beyond those numbers, which means what those number means to us matters much more than the number itself. That is basically how I look at this question.
相信大家可以看出來(lái)了，即使不能對(duì)問(wèn)題的答案有一個(gè)確定的答復(fù)，也可以就提問(wèn)者的動(dòng)機(jī)或者問(wèn)題答案對(duì)我們的意義著手進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的陳述，最關(guān)鍵的是把自己的觀點(diǎn)說(shuō)出來(lái)，這樣不論是英語(yǔ)口頭表達(dá)和個(gè)人的自信心，都會(huì)得到相應(yīng)的提高。
原則三：有鋪墊的提問(wèn)
大家都知道在英語(yǔ)角要做一個(gè)多說(shuō)多練的人，但是如果遇到一個(gè)人喜歡主導(dǎo)談話，不給別人機(jī)會(huì)發(fā)表觀點(diǎn)，我們的策略師有機(jī)會(huì)的時(shí)候利用機(jī)會(huì)，沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)的時(shí)候創(chuàng)造機(jī)會(huì)然后再利用機(jī)會(huì)。一般喜歡占據(jù)主導(dǎo)的說(shuō)話者通常也會(huì)喜歡被別人提問(wèn)，這樣很有當(dāng)明星的感覺(jué)，每次去英語(yǔ)角和開(kāi)記者招待會(huì)一樣，虛榮心可以得到極大的滿(mǎn)足。最關(guān)鍵的是每次提問(wèn)的人只會(huì)怯生生地說(shuō)出一句話，而回答的人可以說(shuō)出長(zhǎng)篇大論的東西，所以最后的結(jié)果就是提問(wèn)者練聽(tīng)力，說(shuō)話者練口語(yǔ)。遇到這樣的情況，突破口就在提問(wèn)的環(huán)節(jié)，只要我們提問(wèn)的時(shí)候用N句話，這樣就很容易鍛煉到我們自己的表達(dá)。同時(shí)，如果有鋪墊的提問(wèn)也會(huì)給回答者一些時(shí)間思考答案，他本能不會(huì)排斥，畢竟貿(mào)然打斷提問(wèn)是一種特別不禮貌的舉動(dòng)。具體的操作方法是首先說(shuō)出問(wèn)題的范圍，讓他有心理準(zhǔn)備，然后再呈現(xiàn)出自己對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題感興趣的原因，讓他明白提問(wèn)者的動(dòng)機(jī)，再慢慢的提出這個(gè)問(wèn)題。最起碼一個(gè)問(wèn)題也可以用五句話來(lái)提，比如how old are you？一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單問(wèn)年齡的問(wèn)題，也可以有很多形式的鋪墊，比如 I would like to ask a question about your age if I may. (當(dāng)然，如果對(duì)方直接說(shuō)no, you may not 或者 sorry, it is not a polite question to ask. 那可以作罷，換下一個(gè)問(wèn)題。)然后接著說(shuō)出自己對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題感興趣的原因，I don’t mean to intrude in your privacy but as is indicated in lots of cases, people at different age tend to speak and behave in different ways even though their personality and value system have not changed much. That is to say, it is generally possible to tell how old the person is or how he looks at some question or topic by studying his speaking and behaviors. I happened to notice that you do have a special perspective upon the issue or topic we just talked about and it is kind of rare for people at your age to think in this way if I am right about your age. So would you please tell me how old you are? Or are you between 25 and 30? 這樣的提問(wèn)效果顯而易見(jiàn)。
