在非正式场合中与熟人或朋友交流时，有时说话稍微直接一点并无大碍。但在工作等正式场合中，则需要注意自己的措辞。怎样提出个人想法和意见，听起来才更委婉？
用法总结
在陈述句里加入一些委婉、模糊的词汇来弱化语气，让我们提出的想法和意见听起来更礼貌。比如 “reckon”、“feel”、“believe” 这类表达 “觉得，认为...” 的词语和 “sort of（大概，差不多）”、“kind of（似乎，有点）”、“a little（一点）” 这类短语。
- I reckon you need to re-write the essay.
- I feel that presentation could have been better.
- It was sort of OK, but maybe you need to re-write the essay.
- That presentation was kind of good, but it could have been better.
- I believe this report would be better if you spend a little more time on it.
将陈述句变为问句，语气更加委婉。
- Do you think you need to re-write the essay?
- Do you feel the presentation could have been better?
指出他人错误时，可以加入 “seem to”、“appear to” 这类表达 “看起来，似乎” 的搭配，以柔化语气。
- You appear to have written about the wrong subject.
- You seem to have misunderstood the topic of the presentation.
