When I speak English, I always speak off and on. Could you please tell me how to develop oral skills of making connected speech?
我说英文时常常时有时无。您可否跟我说怎样训练能连贯性表述的英语口语方法?
I assume you mean you speak in bursts, when you say you‘speak off and on’. The first thing to be aware of is that most speaking is the product of interaction with another person, or with other people. We rarely give speeches. This means we have to train ourselves to understand what others are saying and then to reply to what we have heard. There are different kinds of conversation, which require different skills. For example:
Exchange of information. This is one of the most common kinds of everyday interaction. Your friend tells you about things he/she enjoys doing in his/her spare time. You listen carefully, then you tell him/her what you enjoy doing in your spare time. You answer like with like. The chances are that you will use the simple present tense a great deal in this kind of exchange.
Narration. Your friend tells you about an experience in the past tense (how he/she missed the bus, was late for work, what the boss said, etc.). You listen carefully, then tell a story of your own. The chances are you will use the simple past and past progressive tenses a great deal in this kind of exchange. It’s always easier to tell a story in chronological order: begin at the beginning, go on to the main event, then conclude the story.
Exchanging views and opinions. Your friend tells you what he/she thinks about something, first by describing a situation, then saying what his/her opinion of it is and giving reasons. You listen carefully, then reply in the same way. You are likely to state facts (something you read in the paper), give an example or examples, and then say what you think of it. You are likely to use phrases like‘In my opinion...’, ‘I think ...’, ‘I agree with what you say, but ...’, ‘I’m afraid I disagree. I think ...’and so on.
估计你所提的“时有时无”(说英文)很有可能就是指忽然爆发式的说话方式。*，你务必搞清楚，大部分口头上表述是与别人相处的物质。大家非常少发布绕弯子，换句话说大家务必塑造我们自己了解他人发言的工作能力，随后依据大家所听见的內容做出回应。对话的特性不一样，规定的方法也当然不一样。比如：
信息交流。它是大家每日最普遍的沟通交流方式。你的朋友对你说他/她在碎片时间所喜爱做的事。你用心听，随后对他说/她你一直在碎片时间所想干的事。你也就从此之后回应。在这类沟通交流中，你一般会很多应用一般现在时。
描述。你的朋友用过去式对你说一段历经(他/她怎样误车，随后迟到，老总说些哪些，这些)。你用心听，随后叙述你自己的历经。在这类沟通交流中，你一般会应用一般过去时或过去进行时。按先后顺序叙述一个故事比较非常容易：某件事逐渐于……，随后描述文章正文，最终完毕叙述。
沟通交流观点和见解。你的朋友对你说他/她对某件事的观点，他/她先叙述一段情景，随后发布他/她的建议，并得出原因。你用心听，随后以一样的方法做出回应。给你很有可能阐述客观事实(你从报刊上看到的物品)，得出一个或好多个事例，随后表明你的观点。你很可能用些例如In my opinion...，I think...，I agree with what you say, but...和I’m afraid I disagree. I think... 等语句。
