- I took a taxi here. Jesus, that was nearly a disaster. For some reason, my alarm didn't work at all while I was having lunch, and I almost forgot the time. Thankfully the traffic wasn't too bad so I made it in the nick of time.

Well, my favourite object in the living room is the rocking chair. Every summer, I'll take it out of my warehouse.

I usually lie on the rocking chair while listening to my favourite songs. OMG! What a happy and cosy moment! Especially after my busy day of study, I consider it can make me relax immediately, and whenever I rock backwards and forwards, I will feel very cool and comfortable. That's the reason why the rocking chair is my favourite object.

加粗字体是重音
副词修饰形容词
为什么我们不能说"absolutely good"或者"very fantastic"，因为像 good 这样的形容词是可分级形容词(gradable)，我们可以说很好、还行、不好；像 fantastic 和 perfect 这样的是不可分级形容词(non-gradable)，不能再分程度了。
像 very 可以形容可分级形容词，🌰：I'm very tired
像 absolutely 可以形容不可分级形容词，🌰：I'm absolutely exhausted
可分级形容词
| 可形容它的副词 | 形容词 |
|---|---|
| very quite a bit slightly completely | hot cold dirty big small sure pleased surprised scared |
不可分级形容词
| 可形容它的副词 | 形容词 |
|---|---|
| absolutely utterly（十分地、完全地） | boiling freezing starving filthy（肮脏的） huge/enormous tiny positive delighted astonished/amazed horrified/terrified |
与分级、不分级形容词通用的副词
像 really, fairly, pretty
常用副词搭配
| 可形容它的副词 | 形容词 |
|---|---|
| highly（非常地） | successful vital competitive recommended effective |
| absolutely utterly（十分地、完全地） | wrong pointless fabulous useless（2） worthless（2） |
| unbelievably ridiculously incredibly（难以置信地） | cheap expensive big small long short easy early late cold（2） old（3） |
| potentially（潜在地） | fruitful dangerous toxic fatal |
| widely（广泛地） | believed used known available |
| deeply（深深地） | concerned ashamed moved touched |
| strongly（强烈地） | oppose recommended support |
| fully（充分地） | prepared understand |
| totally completely entirely quite（完全地） | wrong different dependent harmless unbelievable |
| extremely significantly intensively | useful confident important dangerous |

小技巧
没听明白，让考官重复/解释
我炒鸡担心听力差或注意力不集中而导致听不清考官在说什么，那这时候怎麽办嘛？
其实你只需要说 👇，但正常考试不能说太多次噢~
Repeat question
- Excuse me
- Could you please repeat that?
- I must have missed that, could you please say that again?
- I'm not exactly sure what you mean
- It's a little bit difficult question, but I wonder if you could give me more information about that
Checking a word
- Sorry, what does X mean?
- Sorry, what's the meaning of X?
- Could you please explain the meaning of X?
不熟悉、很刁钻的题目
遇到不熟悉的题目要学会如何去表达自己不知道、不清楚、不了解，而不是去硬编假装自己了解
但是要注意！不要用在 Part1，因为 Part1 都是很简单的问题，不会回答只能说你没有练好。
- I'm not familiar with ..., if I have to answer this question, I'd like to say ...
- Well, that's an interesting question. I've never really thought about that before, but I assume I would have to say that I agree.
- I'm not really sure about that, however, if you are asking me for my honest opinion, I would have to say that I agree.
- Well, that's a tough question.
- To be honest, I've never actually considered this question/topic before, but I'd have to say that ...
- It's thought-provoking question and I think ...
- Well, to put it to you frankly, I believe.
对于需要用到 depends on 的题目：
- Well, the right answer usually isn't always all or nothing, it highly depends on ...
- Life isn't so black and white, it really depends on ...
