生活中會遇到許多不確定的狀況，讓你無法完全掌握，但你還是必須做出評估，才能決定下一步該怎麼做，這個時候該如何向他人表達呢？
Let’s talk的英文老師列出了八個有關猜測、預估的句子，讓你在不同的情境之下都能夠應對自如。
1. Off the top of my head
用於當你做一個較明確的臆測時。
Example : Off the top of my head, this phone would be worth £300.
2. Knowing him, he will……
對方可能是你熟識的人，而你很了解他，知道他可能會採取什麼行動。
Example : Knowing Bryan, he will probably take the train, he hates driving.
3. If I had to take a guess, I’d say……
不那麼確定的個人猜測，類似中文的「如果要我猜的話」。

5. I wouldn’t be surprised if……
