So this will really help your IELTS or TOEFL mark.
这对提高你们的雅思或托福成绩非常有帮助。
So sometimes when you're asked your opinion, people want to know if you agree or disagree with a statement,
有时候当你们被问到自己的观点时，人们会想知道你们是否赞成一个观点，
and they want to know how much do you agree or disagree.
而且他们还想知道你们有多赞成或不赞成。
So one question you will often see on IELTS or TOEFL, they'll say a statement,
所以你们在雅思或托福考试中会经常看到一个题目，他们会给出一个观点，
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..."（你是否认为人越有钱在生活中就越成功？你有多.......）
Oh sorry, they'll say: "People in life with more money are more successful."
不好意思，他们会说："People in life with more money are more successful." （人越有钱在生活中就越成功。）
so they'll say a statement, and then they'll ask: "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?"
他们给出了一个观点，然后会问："To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?"（你对下列观点有多赞同或多不赞同？）
It's a very common essay question in both the TOEFL and IELTS.
这在托福和雅思考试中都是个很常见的作文题目。
So what we're going to look at now is: how can we add a degree to our answer for our opinion? Okay?
所以我们现在要讲的是：如何在表达我们观点的答案中加上程度？
So where you see the blue: "somewhat", "partially", "I suppose I...''
你们可以看看蓝色的部分："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."
我很快会再过一遍这些短语的，不过这些都是表示“稍微同意”的方式。
So you're not strong in what you're saying; you're kind of on the fence.
也就是你们对自己所讲的内容感觉不是很强烈，有点保持中立的感觉。
Whereas if you see this red line: "I am confident that...", "absolutely", "totally", "strongly", "completely",
但是你们可以看看红线的部分："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.
这个部分是在对自己的观点十分确定的时候使用的，表示你们对某件事感觉非常强烈。
Okay? So let me give you some examples.
我给你们一些例句。
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?"
就拿我刚给的例子来说吧："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...".
我可以说："I somewhat agree..."，意思就是不是百分百同意，但是有点同意，这时候就可以用"I somewhat agree..."。
"I partially agree...", could also say: "I suppose I agree with that statement,
可以说"I partially agree..."，也可以说"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."（我想我赞成那个观点，我想我赞同人越有钱就越成功。）
But again, this shows you're not 100% sure.
但还是一样，这个还是表示你们不是百分百确定。
