Attention Please... 特别提醒
[1] I'm calling to practice my English. 我打电话来想练练口语。
I'm calling to...是打电话时常用的句型。我们来举几个例子：I'm calling to file a complaint. 我打电话投诉。I'm calling to book a ticket. 我打电话来订票。I'm calling to ask for some information. 我打电话询问一些情况。
[2] That's a good name.名字很好听。
适当地夸奖对方是继续交谈的诀窍。打电话时由于看不到对方。那就只能夸一夸对方的名字或者是国家了。
[3] How do you like China so far？你觉得中国怎么样？
How do you like...？表示你觉得……怎么样？so far 表示到目前为止。
[4] Everything is dirt cheap. 东西特别便宜。
dirt cheap并不是又脏又便宜，在这里dirt相当于very，表示“很、十分”。
