在美国高中留学的期间,很多同学反应,在英语写作和口语表达中,在应对不同话题时,他们能够轻松做到内容详实,有话可说,但是,却往往因为开头的一句 I think「一丑毁所有」。那么,如何才能灵活多变地表达「我的观点是」这层意思?除了 I think 我们还能说什么?
下文将为大家展示「我认为」的花样表达法,告诉大家更加地道的英文应该怎么说。

当然,很多时候,在表达某个观点或者立场时,根本不用提到「我的观点是」这句话,而是直接描述某种立场或现象即可,这时表达方式就会灵活很多,如下所示:
1. It is an inescapable fact that... (什么)是一个无法回避的事实

有一些学生行为恶劣并且破坏学习气氛的问题是一个无法回避的事实。

4. One possible solution is to... 一个也许可行的解决方案是……
例句:

一个也许可行的解决方案是提供更多的运动设施以鼓励更积极运动的生活方式。
从上述示例可知,在美国高中留学期间,与别人交流的时候,在表达个人观点时,可以有多种不同的表达,既可以选择不同的词汇,也可以直接去掉「我认为」这一意思而直接描述现象和观点,学会用不同的表达法来替换 I think,不仅能够使文章语言更加丰富,而且能够使语言表达更地道、更上档次,次想说「我认为」的时候,不妨试试以上的方法,相信一定能够使文章或者口语表达增色不少。如果你还想了解更多关于美国高中留学的问题,可以拨打010-65978817进行咨询,也可以直接点击页面右侧咨询对话框与彬彬留学顾问咨询在线交流。
