【干货】本地idiom：怎么让英语口语更加地道
937328
关于我：一开始基本ABC真的啥都不会，英文分数D，被白人同学笑我口音发音，到现在可以在100多人面前流利演讲，我想发一段我一路在这里生活十年的经验。想鼓励一起学习的地伴们加油不要放弃。
其实我发现我之前说的英文是很textbook （教科书的），虽然来了十年了没口音，但是觉对不像ABC说得怎么流利。然后我逼自己背一些英语idiom，发觉那样聊口语才更加地道。所以想回赠地里的伙伴们，发一下干货。下面的phrases可以让你跟本地人说英文说得更加流利，更加地道。对了，我学英文的时候觉得看例句才能真正了解，所以自己写了一些例句希望有帮助！如果喜欢这些类型的话，请加些大米和收藏一下，人气高的话我会保持active继续更新的！
