英语口语学习 Prompt

还记得上次在国外旅游时,我站在一家咖啡店门口,手里攥着手机翻译软件,犹豫了整整五分钟才敢走进去(确认好等下进店后应该如何用英语点单)。那一刻,我深刻体会到:会英语和能用英语交流,完全是两回事。

后来在 Reddit 上偶然发现了一些帮助新去一个国家旅游、生活的 外语学习 prompt,简直像找到了学英语的”作弊码”。这些 prompt 不是那种枯燥的语法练习,而是能让你快速掌握实用英语表达的神器,只需要想象自己在这个场景,背诵常用表达句子即可。

想象一下这些场景:

  • 在国外陌生的街头,问餐厅位置、问公共交通
  • 在东京的寿司店,不仅能点餐,还能跟厨师讨论食材的新鲜程度
  • 在纽约的地铁站,你不仅能看懂指示牌,还能帮迷路的游客指路
  • 在伦敦的酒吧,你不仅能点酒,还能跟邻座的人聊起英超联赛

这些 prompt 就像是一把钥匙,帮我打开了英语交流的大门。现在我把它们整理在这里,希望能帮到同样在英语学习路上奋斗的你!
