活动主题:
People are competitive by nature, some of us more than others. How good are you at competitive banter? Can you joke about others and laugh it off when they joke about you? Can you give as eloquent and as clever and as light-hearted as you receive? Let's practice one of the most artful, subtle, and absolutely essential language skills of all: competitive banter! In this club, Alysia will break down the art of competitive banter as if it were a science and we'll practice with each other. This will be a lesson in language, culture, and the fine art of real conversation.
To truly master a language, you must be able to handle banter. Banter is an enjoyable conversation between friends and is filled with pop culture references, humour, and even a few digs. Digs are light-hearted insults that friends give to each other. If you can do that, you're well on your way to language mastery!
Mastering competitive banter shows that you're confident in who you are and yet not so serious that you're inapproachable. Being good at it will help you get jobs, friends, new networks, and endless social opportunities. And the ability to do it often brings on instant results and even respect from those who originally didn't give it to you. To understand this is to truly understand the culture of Western conversation. Let's have a fun, eye-opening, and linguistically transformative workshop!
人们天生就好胜心强,我们中的一些人比其他人更甚。你在开一些善意的玩笑方面有多擅长?你能拿别人开玩笑吗?当他们拿你开玩笑时,你能一笑而过吗?你能像接受一样雄辩、聪明、轻松地给予吗?让我们练习最巧妙、最微妙、最基本的语言技巧之一:善意的玩笑!在这个俱乐部里,Alysia将打破善意玩笑的艺术,就好像这是一门科学一样,我们将相互练习。这将是一堂关于语言、文化和真实对话艺术的课。
要想真正掌握一门语言,你必须能够处理玩笑。玩笑是朋友之间愉快的对话,充满了流行文化的参考、幽默,甚至一些挖掘。挖苦是朋友们对彼此的轻松侮辱。如果你能做到这一点,你就在掌握语言的路上了!
掌握善意玩笑表明你对自己很有信心,但又不至于太认真,让别人觉得你高不可攀。擅长使用它将帮助你找到工作、朋友、新的人际网络和无尽的社交机会。这样做的能力往往会带来立竿见影的效果,甚至会得到那些最初没有得到的尊重。理解这一点就是真正理解西方谈话的文化。让我们来一场有趣、大开眼界、具有变革意义的研讨会吧!
