# 문장을 좀 더 길게 말할 수 있게 이끌어 주는 4가지 단어 #

[ Which / Because / Really / Since ]

ex) I love dogs. Because they are so cute. Which is important to me. Because if they were not cute, then I wouldn’t like dogs.

ex) I’m not hungry → I’m not really that hungry.

That movie wasn’t good. → That movie wasn’t really all that good.

[Question – Past Experience]

Tell me about an early memory that you have about a piece of technology.

-It could be a computer or a mobile phone from many years ago.

-Describe for me what this thing was like back then.

-How has that technology changed over time?

[Answer]

I’ll be talking about my phone since I didn’t really have my own computer. In the past.

→ I would say ~ / I would have to say ~

 

Today, I own galaxy note 8, which is amazing.. because I can use it to contact people all around the world.

→ ex) I can communicate with people all around the world.

I love to travel all around the world.

You know, I love to try different kinds of coffee from all around the world.

 

But these days, it’s, uh, you know, it’s a totally different story.

→ 다음 문장이 생각안날 때는 고치려 하지 말고, Fillers 넣고 이어 말하기

 

In the past, I had this tiny, little phone.. slide phone. Which I don’t even know which company it was from. But I could only use it to call and text my family and friends in Korea.

→ ex) I went to a pretty big, humungous hotel last year and it was just amazing.

tiny, awful phone / tiny, amazing phone / tiny, expensive phone

 

Um, but today, with my galaxy note 8, I use a lot of apps. But, especially, I use the Kakao app the most.. which I use to, uh, call and video call my cousins in America.

→ 일반적인 것에서 구체적인 것으로 흐름을 잘 가져감

 

Um, yeah, I don’t know how I would be able to live without my phone today.. being unable to contact them through this Kakao app.

→ 결론 내릴 때는, “Overall” or “I think overall” 활용하기

ex) I think overall, I really, really love Kakao. And I find It amazing how I can talk with anyone around the world.

[Rule]

1. Never ask Ava a question. If you must, ask a rhetorical question.
(Ava한테 질문하지 않기. 만약 질문해야 하면, 수사학적 질문하기 - 대답이 필요없는 질문)

 

2. Do not use difficult words that you are uncomfortable with.

Use simple words you are totally confident in using.

(불편하고 어려운 단어 사용하지 않기, 사용하기 편하고 자신감있는 간단한 단어 사용하기)

 

3. Try not to repeat the same word in the same sentence.

(한 문장에서 같은 단어 반복하지 않기)

 

4. Don’t use 2 descriptive or feeling words using “and”.

(무언가를 묘사하거나 감정 단어 2개를 말할 때, “and” 사용하지 않기)

→ Comfy and cozy (X) / Crispy and crunchy (X) / Juicy and tender (X) / Wind down and relax (X)

 

5. Talk about one thing, and one thing only.

(한 가지에 대해서만 말하기)

 

6. If you get nervous and have nothing to say, go right to the conclusion.

(긴장이 되고 할 말이 없을 땐, 바로 결론으로 가기)

 

7. Make “honest excuses” later. Not in the beginning.

(“솔직한 변명”은 나중에 하기. 처음 부분에서 하지 않기)

[TIP]

- 어떤 질문이 나오더라도 답변할 수 있는 4가지 전략

→ Description(설명) / Habit(습관) / Past Experience(과거 경험) / Comparison(비교)

 

- Fillers 사용하기

→ Um / Uh / You know / You see / Let me see / like

 

I mean / I think / I feel / I guess / I would be / quite / frequently

 

It’s funny cos / Most of the time ~ But sometimes ~

 

What I really [ like / love / hate / interesting ] about

 

You know [ what? / what I mean? / what I’m saying? / what I’m trying to say? ]
