When you don't know the right word 遇到要說(shuō)的單詞不會(huì )怎...
Sometimes we forget the right word, or we realise as we're speaking that we don't know the word we need. This can often happen in the PET Speaking test, where you're under pressure and don't have a lot of time to think.
In these situations, there are three things you can do to prevent you from going completely silent!
- define it
- describe it
- use a synonym
Here are some examples you can use to refer to a cheese-grater (kitchen implement to cut cheese into very small pieces.)
Defining

It's used to … (cut cheese into very small pieces)
Describing

The top is narrower than the bottom.
There are small holes down the sides.
Use a synonym
It's like a … / It's a bit like a … / It's similar to a … / It's a kind of… (knife)
