来到英语国家，你会发现自己的英语，尤其是口语，很容易进入残疾智障状态。
首先，单词不够用。
就一个特定话题你会有很多不会讲的词汇。这样就好像一条船上有很多破洞在漏水，船走不远就会沉入水底。
其次，搭配不会用。
哪怕你会相关主题的所有词汇，但使用符合英语文化的特定词汇搭配，你还是非常陌生。用起来很不地道。
最后，语法没把握。
到底这个句子的时态、助动词的位置、情态动词等等的使用对不对？自己根本没有信心。
此时，一般情况下有几种提高自己的基本策略：
第一，可以增强词汇。
可以刻意每日提升自己的词汇量。作为储备，你词汇量越大，在交流任何话题的时候就越左右逢缘。
第二，可以大量输入。
阅读、聆听和观看地道的各类英语材料。你接触量 越大，就越可能覆盖到以后所可能交流到的
第三，可以提高语法。
对语法有了比较全面的认识，就可以规则性地避开很多错误表达，学会更地道的表达模式。
这三点都是非常正确的思路，值得长期坚持操练。
但是，以上都属于“长期积累”。“水滴石穿，非一日之功。”短时间看不到疗效。
这就类似你患上了急性疾病去医院看医生，医生的诊断治疗意见是：“多锻炼身体，好好休息，注意营养均衡。”
远水解不了近火。
我需要的当下此时此刻此处此话题的相关词汇和用法，不需要关于英语所有话题的所有词汇和用法。
我需要精确打击我具体的话题目标。需要使用狙击枪狙击，而不是将整个英语王国轰炸为平地。
以前，妙爸主要推荐的，是直接使用油管搜索关于这个主题的一些视频来观看，或者使用必应搜索这个主题的一些文章来阅读的方法。不懂的单词就查，核心的搭配就模仿下。
这个方法绝对是个好方法，可以给你打下这个主题进行全英文无障碍畅聊的强大基础。妙爸尝试过，真的好用。
如果说最先提到的方法是“远水”的话，这个方法就更具体。不过也只能称为“中水”。还是救不了近火。
因为，只有“近水才能救近火。”
只有狙击枪才能精确打击。
什么是英语口语交流的近水和狙击枪呢？这时，最好就是使用chatgpt一类的ai来帮忙。
具体怎样操作呢？
比如，妙爸这段时间要换车的机油。需要和美国汽修商店的店员进行沟通。
我就直接使用这个话术对chatgpt下达指令：
”我准备让美国汽修商店的店员帮我更换自己在亚马逊购买的汽车机油。请给我写一段英文对话。这段对话要包含一切常见和必要的词汇和固定用法，对其标黑。然后对着写词汇和固定用法各造几个有代表性的句子，帮助我掌握。“
以下是一段关于在美国汽修商店更换机油的对话，重点词汇和固定用法已标黑。
Customer: Hi, I’d like to get my engine oil changed. I bought some motor oil from Amazon.
Employee: Sure! Do you have the oil filter as well, or do you want us to provide one?
Customer: I didn't buy an oil filter. Can you help me choose one?
Employee: Absolutely! Let’s check what we have. Once we have everything, I’ll let you know how long it will take.
Customer: Great! I appreciate it. I want to make sure I’m using the right type of oil.
Employee: No problem! We can also check your owner’s manual to confirm the right specifications.

Here’s a detailed English dialogue about playing Chicken Foot dominoes:
John: "Hey, do you feel like playing Chicken Foot tonight?"
Alex: "Yeah, that sounds fun! Do you remember how to start the game?"
John: "Of course! We need to shuffle the dominoes and draw one each. Whoever has the highest double starts."
Alex: "Right. Let’s see... I drew a double nine! I’ll start with that."
John: "Okay, so now we need to branch out by playing dominoes that have a nine on one end to create the Chicken Foot."
Alex: "Exactly. I’ll place a six-nine next to it to start one of the branches. After we create three branches from the double, we can play other numbers."
John: "Remember, if you play a double, you have to shout 'Chicken Foot!' and start a new set of branches."
Alex: "Got it! I’m going to block one of your branches and force you to draw from the boneyard."
