表达是否感兴趣
谈论兴趣与爱好是陌生人之间打开话匣子的最佳选择。
然而在表达对什么感兴趣或不感兴趣时，也要注意一些细节问题：
表达感兴趣时、常用be interested in...(对……感兴趣)、enjoy(喜爱)、like(喜欢)、love(爱)、be fond of(喜欢)、be keen on(热衷于)等动词或短语，它们后面都应该接名词或相当于名词的成分。
表示不感兴趣时，要说出理由。首先，厌恶的程度不同，应作相应调整，使表达委婉、得体，如I'detest...(我厌恶……)和I can't stand...(我不能容忍……)就比I'm afraid I don't...(恐怕……)的语气生硬得多。其次，注意对方的反应和表情，不要触怒了对方，自己却不知道。

News 趣谈
英语“新闻”一词，初学者一看就能记住，就是new(新的)加上s，成为名词news，表示“很多新的”，这就是“新闻”。然而，更有趣的说法是：news一词是由“东西南北”四个方位的英语单词简写而成，即指南针上的N(north，北)、E(east，东)、W(west，西)和S(south，南)。意思是“来自四方的(information)”，就是“新闻”。“When a man bites a dog，That's news！”(人咬狗，那才是新闻。)这则news不知会从东西南北哪个方向来。

Jazz爵士乐
爵士乐(jazz)是美国音乐对世界的一份厚礼，开始于20世纪20年代，这是一种具有奇特节奏和非洲和声色彩的音乐形式，由早期的拉格泰姆(ragtime)、蓝调(blues)发展到后来的比波普、自由爵士和现代爵士。它走过了一段令人惊喜而富有朝气的旅程。自由的即兴风格，结合黑人音乐家天生丰富的节奏感，由此产生了这种微妙而无法准确记谱的美妙音乐。20世纪的美国爵士乐成为艺术音乐创造灵感的重要源泉之一。20世纪的严肃音乐作家的许多作品，如德彪西的《黑面木偶的步态舞》、萨蒂的《游行》、斯特拉文斯基的《拉格泰姆》、《钢琴拉格泰姆乐典》、米约的《屋顶上的公牛》、克莱尼克的歌剧《奏乐的乔尼》等，都明显受到爵士乐的影响。

拍照用语
我们经常会遇到请别人帮忙给拍照的情况，这时只需说：Excuse me，could you (please)take a picture for us？对方同意后将照相机递过去，最好再说明一下使用方法。或者在递过照相机之前对好焦距，并告知按下快门就行了。
我们一般照相的时候说：一、二、三、茄子。而用英语说就是：One，two，three.Say cheese！
如果人比较多不能都收进去时说：Stand closer.(往中间靠靠。)或者说：Could you step back a bit？(可不可以稍微往后退一点儿？)

钓鱼是否合法
在美国虽然有数百万人喜欢钓鱼和打猎，但是政府为了保护野生动物(wildlife)制定了许多政策，动物保护机构(wildlife preserves)对允许钓鱼或打猎的地区及其时间(fishing、hunting season)都有规定。在美国仅仅钓一天鱼也要办理许可证。许可证一般分为：一天许可证(daily permit)、一年许可证(annual permit)以及终生许可证(lifetime permit)。在钓鱼的时候，可以带走的每种鱼的数量和大小都必须严格遵守规定规定，如果不遵守规定将被处以高额罚款。

Hollywood 史话
1886年，哈维威尔科克斯在洛杉矶附近的一个山谷里买下了一片天然花果园，取名为Holly Wood，意为“冬青树之林”。如：Holly Wood is a beautiful place to travel.(冬青树之林是一个旅游的好地方。)后来该镇不断有外地移民进入，他们禁止在镇上开厂，并禁止售酒，以保持该地秀丽的风景。1911年，一批新泽西州的电影工作者来到这个小镇，他们被它的风景所吸引，开始建立了第一个电影制片厂。从此，Hollywood(好莱坞)即centre of the film industry(美国电影工业中心)迅速发展了起来。

美国电视剧
我们通常用episode来表示电视剧的“一集，一节”。美国电视剧的一个特色就是一季一季地播放，而剩下的大部分时间，都是在重播(rerun)以前的旧片。在每一季的最后，还会有一个所谓的season finale，也就是整季故事的一个高潮结尾，通常编剧会留下一个耐人寻味的伏笔，吊足观众的胃口。

网络语言
想晋升为地道的网络聊天高手，不学些网络特定用语可就太逊色了！常见的例子包括：“3Q”代表thank you，“88”代表bye bye等。先介绍简单的单词缩写：B4(before)、L8R(later)、PLS(please)、TX(thanks)，很容易吧！接着当您和网友聊天谈到一些看法时，可以用以下几个字：BTW (by the way-顺便提一下)、IMO(in my opinion-我的看法是)、IOW(in other words-换句话说)、NP(no problem-没问题)、OIC(oh，I see-哦，我知道了)、WE(whatever-到底，究竟)。聊到一个段落要离开，则会用到CUL8R(see you later-待会儿见)、BBN(bye bye now-现在拜拜)、BRB(be right back-很快回来)、GTGB(got to go，bye-要走了，拜拜)、TTYL(talk to you later-以后再聊)。眼见人家离去或回来，说：GL(good luck-祝好运)、WB(welcome back-欢迎回来)，以示礼貌。当然，刚和陌生网友聊天时，也会问对方的一些个人资料，这时候就会涉及到A、S、L(age 、sex、location-年龄、性别、身在何处)、MorF(male or female男生或女生)、SorG(straight or gay-异性恋或同性恋)等一箩筐的问题。如果彼此相谈甚欢，临走前你可以说KIT(keep in touch-保持联络)、GTSY(glad to see ya-很高兴遇见你)。
