So this will really help your IELTS or TOEFL mark.
這對提高你們的雅思或托福成績非常有幫助。
So sometimes when you're asked your opinion, people want to know if you agree or disagree with a statement,
有時候當你們被問到自己的觀點時，人們會想知道你們是否贊成一個觀點，
and they want to know how much do you agree or disagree.
而且他們還想知道你們有多贊成或不贊成。
So one question you will often see on IELTS or TOEFL, they'll say a statement,
所以你們在雅思或托福考試中會經常看到一個題目，他們會給出一個觀點，
so for example: "Do you think people with more money are more successful in life? To what extent..."
比如："Do you think people with more money are more successful in life? To what extent..."（你是否認為人越有錢在生活中就越成功？你有多.......）
Oh sorry, they'll say: "People in life with more money are more successful."
不好意思，他們會說："People in life with more money are more successful." （人越有錢在生活中就越成功。）
so they'll say a statement, and then they'll ask: "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?"
他們給出了一個觀點，然后會問："To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?"（你對下列觀點有多贊同或多不贊同？）
It's a very common essay question in both the TOEFL and IELTS.
這在托福和雅思考試中都是個很常見的作文題目。
So what we're going to look at now is: how can we add a degree to our answer for our opinion? Okay?
所以我們現在要講的是：如何在表達我們觀點的答案中加上程度？
So where you see the blue: "somewhat", "partially", "I suppose I...''
你們可以看看藍色的部分："somewhat", "partially", "I suppose I...''
I'll go over those in a minute, but these are all ways to say: "Uh, I kind of agree."
我很快會再過一遍這些短語的，不過這些都是表示“稍微同意”的方式。
So you're not strong in what you're saying; you're kind of on the fence.
也就是你們對自己所講的內容感覺不是很強烈，有點保持中立的感覺。
Whereas if you see this red line: "I am confident that...", "absolutely", "totally", "strongly", "completely",
但是你們可以看看紅線的部分："I am confident that...", "absolutely", "totally", "strongly", "completely"
this section is when you're very sure of your opinion, you feel very strongly about something.
這個部分是在對自己的觀點十分確定的時候使用的，表示你們對某件事感覺非常強烈。
Okay? So let me give you some examples.
我給你們一些例句。
So the example I just gave: "People with more money are more successful. Do you agree or disagree, and to what extent do you agree or disagree?"
就拿我剛給的例子來說吧："People with more money are more successful. Do you agree or disagree, and to what extent do you agree or disagree?"
So what I could say is: "I somewhat agree..." meaning not 100%, but I agree a little bit, "I somewhat agree...".
我可以說："I somewhat agree..."，意思就是不是百分百同意，但是有點同意，這時候就可以用"I somewhat agree..."。
"I partially agree...", could also say: "I suppose I agree with that statement,
可以說"I partially agree..."，也可以說"I suppose I agree with that statement,
I suppose I agree that people with more money are more successful."
I suppose I agree that people with more money are more successful."（我想我贊成那個觀點，我想我贊同人越有錢就越成功。）
But again, this shows you're not 100% sure.
但還是一樣，這個還是表示你們不是百分百確定。
