每一个来到加拿大的移民,都希望自己可以尽快地融入到本地主流生活中去,要想达到这点,其实不是太难,但是首先一定要可以使用英文来进行沟通。

对于英语的修炼,有两层境界:
# D+ ]4 V! y% |" ?9 z, j% X" e6 |2 V2 b1 U: O, H8 n# H
第一层境界就是Understandable English,就是说你的英文大家可以听懂,说的稍微有点口音或者说的英语很书面化都没关系,达到这一层,你日常生活工作和学习基本上不会有太大的障碍。! E4 ]7 V8 T0 n8 ]
?' V3 l- u0 k& P
但是很多人到了这个境界就满足了,不再继续强化英文训练,这就不对了。我们不能固步自封,还要向下一层境界前进,那就是Native English,达到这个境界的英语使用者,可以基本使用纯正的原汁原味的英语和本地人无障碍交流,可以想象,到了这个境界的人在工作和生活中都会体验到一种无拘无束的快乐,在职场和事业上的发展都会取得比较大的成就。: V+ ~) D5 X! f; O$ Z7 P

怎么才能达到第二层境界呢?没有捷径,先背诵,后使用,小编收集了87句常用口语,供大家学习了解,也对比看一下,什么样才是地地道道的native speaker说的话!
