本课出现的口语句型：

1.I've been thinking a lot about our responsibilities in the past few weeks.

用现在完成进行时，表示从过去到现在一直进行的动作，将来可能也会继续。

2.I never stop thinking about them.

我从来没有停止过……还可以换一个表达方式：I am always thinking about……

3.I've been wrestling with the question of whether I go back to work or not.

I've been wrestling with the question也是表示一直想的意思。wrestling with还可以换一个词组来表达:dwell on。此外，还有一个词也表示某个问题一直缠绕着自己：haunt。当然这个是比较形象的用法，而且主语要用某件事。This matter is always haunting me.

4.Ah! That's what's got you thinking, isn't it?

That's what's got you thinking,就是那通电话使你开始思量起来的。相当于导火线。what's got you thinking在这个句子中是what引导的表语从句。

5.I guess you do have two career opportunities and a decision to make.

have a decision to make不定式做后置定语。
