第三部分：課程

USING CONNECTIVES IN CONVERSATXON怎樣在談話中使用起連接作用的詞語

下列詞語在會話中可以起連接作用。這些詞語有助于談話順利進行。有的可以用來填補空當兒，有的可以用來進一步說明意思。
IN FACT
為了加強前面一句話，可以用in fact引出一句話，對有關話題進一步提供情況。
in fact引出的這句話往往更為具體生動。
I had to take my son to soccer practice.
In fact. we went to the Grand Final as well．
I bought some rice，In fact,I bought four kilos.
MIND YOU
用來引出一句話，對前面一句話加以限制，以免造成誤解，或引起爭論。
One day of soccer's enough for me.
Mind you, I always enjoy it．
BY THE WAY（參看第8講）
用來引出新的話題。有時可以與前面一句話相關聯（見下面第一個例子），有時只表示“順便提到一件事”，和前面的話并不相干（見下面第二個例子）。
1) Everyone likes Brett Watson.
By the way, he's just written a book about soccer．
2) A: Wasn't the weather great yesterday?
B: Yes,it certainly was.
A: Oh,by the way,did you see that Chinese film last night?
IMEAN（參看第22講）
如果你覺得沒有把意思說清楚，就可以用這個短語引出一句話，補充新的內容，加以說明。
I don't think I'll sit with you two on Mondays. I mean all I
hear is soccer, soccer, soccer!
I MUST SAY
這個短語可以使對方注意下面的話是比較強調的。
Well, I must say the Grand Final was, exciting.
YOU KNOW（參看第1講）
這個短語可以使說話人略有停頓，以便考慮下面的話怎樣說。
My boy thinks Watson is…er…
you know…marvellous．
