学习英语的时候千万不能忽视口语能力，首先、确定你自己的英语水平。中国大学毕业生的通病是，书面阅读还可以，口语不行，听力很差，书写凑合。英语每一个单词都有自己的念法，你不能凭空想象。以下是日常比较常用的短语，大家可以练习。

Shall I tell him you called?我告诉他你来过电话，好吗?

I'll be here when he calls back. Much appreciated.他打电话时我会在这，太感谢你了!

That's fine. I'll await his return call.很好。我会等他的来电。

Barker's Service Station.这里是巴克尔维修站。

I need your help badly. My car can't start. Can you send somebody over?我急需你们的帮助。我的车启动不了，能派人来修吗?

We can have somebody come by, but it won't be right away.我们可以派人去，但现在不行。

What time can you send one over?那你们什么时候能派人来呢?

Oh, let's see. It'll be about 3:30 before we have anybody free.哦，让我想想。大概要到3：30我们才有空。

Can it be earlier than that?能早点吗?

I doubt it, sir. We'll try, but I can't promise anybody before 3:30.我没把握，先生。我们会尽早的，但我不敢许诺3：30以前行。

If I had it towed over there, could you work on it right away?如果把车拖到你们那里，能马上修吗?

Sure, if you had it towed here to the garage, we could get right on it.当然能。您把车拖过来的话，我们马上就修。

Can you send your tow truck over here?你们能派辆拖车来吗?

No. I'm sorry, but we can't send out our tow truck to get you.不能，真对不起，我们不能派拖车来。

Why not?为什么不能?

Our tow truck's being repaired.我们的拖车正在修理呢。

That's too bad. Bye.太糟了。再见。

Bye.再见。

口语学习的关键是要模仿人家的说话。这包括语音和语调两部分。中国英语教学重视语调的很少，尽管很多时候语调可能比语音更重要。开始时速度可以比较慢，要逐步使自己跟上人家的速度。
