很高興為王富貴先生（Troy King）的這本《Survive and Thrive地道英語口語》做序。
王富貴老師是中國文化的粉絲，你看他給自己取的中文名字就知道，如此地接地氣，如此有中國味。一位英國倫敦紳士就這樣活生生地變成了我們村兒裡的小伙伴。
受中國文化的強烈吸引，王富貴大學畢業後就從英國飛到深圳，一邊學習中文，一邊在一所國際中學裡任教。深圳沒有虧待他，回報他以愛情，現在王富貴已經驕傲的升級成為了一名中國女婿。
之後，他來到北京，在中國人民大學攻讀碩士學位，而後加入學為貴任教，表現優異，現在成為我的外籍助理。
富貴老師熱愛教學，深受廣大學員喜愛。在學為貴，他碰到了來自全國各地、各個年齡段、基礎水平差異很大的學員。多年的教學經驗積累和雙語精通的能力，讓他開始思考，中國學生英語口語提升的捷徑到底在哪裡？是多背單詞嗎？是學好語法嗎？是多看美劇嗎？還是天天聽英語新聞？
富貴老師和我一起參加了無數次口語教學研討會，我們共同創立了學為貴集團英語口語真經理念，該理念強調：口語學習應該“背誦輸入，句型為重，自然地道，邏輯溝通” 。口語是語言輸出技能，必須先要有大量的、地道的輸入，才可能輸出地道的英語表達。同時。英語語法體系太龐大復雜，如果我們能夠精選出高頻使用的句式句型，讓學生熟練背誦掌握，就可以迅速提升口語水平，讓學生敢說，有內容說，而且說得正確地道。
所以，“句型”和“地道”，是學為貴英語口語真經的兩大Keywords，也是富貴老師這本口語教材的兩大核心。
富貴老師多才多藝，熱愛音樂，擅長架子鼓，他和他的老外朋友們組了一個樂隊，週末經常在北京后海酒吧里表演。他還自己作詞作曲，創作了一些中英雙語的rap，把英語教學和音樂進行完美融合，在各大視頻網站獲贊無數。
忠心希望這樣一位愛中國、愛教育、愛音樂的王富貴老師能永遠幸福開心。
也希望這本《Survive and Thrive地道英語口語》能幫助到你。

2. Maintaining Conversation
Question master--Skills for askings questions
Sometimes it is difficult to know how to keep a conversation, especially
in a different culture. You don't know what is normal to ask; you don't
know if your questions are weird. Is it OK to ask that? Here are some
great questions to start a conversation, and hopefully, make a friend!
- So, what did you get up to on the weekend?
- So, got anything fun planned for the weekend?
- So, how do you know (common connection) ?
- So, what do you do for fun?
- So, what do you do for a living?
- So, what brought you to (city/town) ?
“So, what's your story?”
A conversation is like a bicycle. Sometimes, to make the bicycle a
little smoother you need to add one or two drops of oil. Just like a
conversation in English, sometimes you just need one or two words to
make the conversation smoother. Here are some techniques (oil) for a
smoother conversation...
