Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Take a look at this picture.
2
What do you think will happen next?
3
Do you have any idea?
4
Well, this is actually one of the questions in my book called Selpip Speaking Practice.
5
My book has over a hundred questions and answers and tips
6
and lots of vocabulary that will help you practice for the speaking part of the Selpip test.
7
Okay, now this is task four of the speaking test called making predictions.
8
Are you good at making predictions?
9
Well, in this video, I'm going to try to help you improve in your prediction making ability.
10
Okay, so hey, if you want to get a copy of my book, you can just buy it on my website, metv.cool, just in PDF form.
11
It's very easy.
12
You just go to my website and download my book.
13
Okay, so like I said, task four, making predictions.
14
Now you have 30 seconds to prepare, which is not that long, and you have 60 seconds to speak.
15
Okay, so you need to think fast.
16
Now you might be wondering, should you take notes?
17
Hmm, should I take notes for this picture?
18
Well, you could.
19
I think for most of the questions on the test
20
or on the speaking part of the test and on the listening and other parts, it's good to take some brief notes.
21
But for this question, personally, I wouldn't take any notes because the picture itself is your notes, right?
22
You can just look at the picture and make some predictions about, you know, what's going to happen.
23
Now, in this Next question, you're going to use a lot of simple future verbs.
24
This is very important.
25
The Selpid people have chosen these questions to test you on certain aspects of the English language.
26
For example, giving advice, describing a picture, talking about a personal experience.
27
In the personal experience, which is task two, you have to use past tense verbs.
28
Here you have to use future tense verbs.
29
So there are two ways we can make the simple future verb tense.
30
We can use the word will or is going to.
31
The bartender is going to or the people playing poker are going to.
32
So is, are, that changes.
33
But these are the two ways we make predictions for the future.
34
Now, sometimes my students who I've practiced with, they make predictions like this.
35
The musician will keep singing.
36
Okay, that's a fine prediction.
37
Yeah, it could happen.
38
The musician will keep singing.
39
The problem with that is it's not very interesting.
40
There's not much more you can say about that, right?
41
Like if we look at this picture and if we say the guitar player is going to keep singing,
42
the guys playing pool are going to keep playing pool, the guys playing poker are going to keep playing poker.
43
I mean, yeah, that's probably what will happen.
44
The problem is on the self-hift test, I mean, your predictions should be a little bit more interesting.
45
Okay, so try to think about what is going to change.
46
What is going to change in the scene, okay?
47
Maybe the guitar player will get thirsty and he'll go to the bar and order a drink.
48
Or maybe the bartender will bring the guitar player a cold pint of beer.
49
Maybe, you know, one of the guys playing poker will lose all his chips.
50
Those things are called poker chips, right?
51
When you lose all your chips in poker, then the game is over for you.
52
So it's just a bit boring if you sit there, right?
53
So he might get bored.
54
He might start playing pool, you know, with these guys.
55
Or he might go to the bar.
56
He might leave the pub.
57
if this is a pub or the bar he might leave
58
and go home i mean we don't know right now the
59
next thing i want to mention is is try to keep your predictions relevant relevant
60
that means i mean talk about things
61
that are going to happen in the picture okay like
62
if you say this guy is going to lose all his chips and go home.
63
And when he's at home, he's going to help his wife cook supper.
64
After supper, they're going to bake cookies together.
65
Then they're going to put their kids to bed.
66
Okay, wow, those are great predictions.
67
The problem is that they have nothing to do with this scene.
68
Okay, so your predictions need to be relevant to the scene.
69
Okay, now how should you start your answer.
70
Well, there are lots of ways you could start this.
71
I mean, personally, I would say something like this.
72
In this picture, there are several things I think will happen next.
73
It's just a very natural way to introduce, you know, the answer.
74
In this picture, there are several things I think will happen next.
75
First off, then I would start with the biggest thing in the scene.
76
The biggest thing.
77
I mean, maybe the picture has a car accident in the middle of the picture,
78
and it might have some kids playing with a ball in the corner of the picture.
79
Now, if you start talking about the kids, I mean, that's probably okay,
80
but I think the most natural way to do it is to start with the biggest things.
81
Like, a car accident is a very serious thing, right?
82
I mean, in my book, you'll see one of the pictures is a fire truck, you know, putting out a fire, like, in a house.
83
A house is on fire, and the firemen are working to put out the fire.
84
And there are some kids playing in the corner on a playground, in a playground in the corner of the picture.
85
Like, if you start talking about that, it's just a little bit unnatural, I think.
86
So the most natural thing is to start with the biggest things in the picture.
87
Okay, now look at this picture.
88
What is the biggest thing?
89
Well, I mean, here's an example of a scene where it probably doesn't matter where you start,
90
because there are, well, there are four things happening, right?
91
There's this guy who's playing guitar and singing.
92
There's these guys who are playing pool, there's these guys who are playing poker, and then there's the situation at the bar.
93
Ok, so, I mean, wherever you start is probably ok.
94
Personally I would probably start at the poker table or maybe at the pool table.
95
I don't know.
96
It's up to you wherever you want to start.
97
Ok, so, the other thing is try to make predictions about most of the things in the scene.
98
Most of the things.
99
Now I've seen some of the pictures, you know, from the self-practice materials,
100
and sometimes there's a lot of things going on in the scene.
101
You might not be able to talk about everything.
102
That's okay.
103
That's totally fine.
104
You don't need to talk about everything.
105
But I would say, try to make predictions about most of the things in the scene.
106
If you just spend all your time talking about one or two things, I mean, that's probably not that great.
107
Let's say we make a prediction that the guitar player is going to go to the bar,
108
order a drink and start talking to the woman at the bar.
109
And they're going to start flirting, he's going to get her phone number, he's going to buy her a drink,
110
they're going to get drunk, they're going to leave the bar.
111
Okay, look, I've spent my whole time talking about one thing.
112
I didn't talk about all the rest of the scene, okay, so that's not good.
113
You should try to talk about a bunch of things that are going to happen.
114
Okay, so how should you end your speaking?
115
Well, how should you end the question, your answer to the question?
116
You could just say this.
117
Alright, those are some things I think will happen next.
118
That's how I would do it.
119
I would just say, alright, those are some things I think will happen next.
120
That's a great short summary, short conclusion to your answer.
121
Okay, now let's take a look at my answer from my book.
122
Okay, about this question.
123
So here's what I say.
124
I think several things are going to happen in the next few minutes.
125
One of the guys playing poker is going to lose all his chips.
126
He'll get bored sitting at the table and start playing pool with the other guys.
127
The guy with the beard is going to sink a few balls and win the game.
128
That means put the balls in the pockets.
129
The guy with the beard, right?
130
The guy with the goatee is going to get really mad and hit the other guy with his cue.
131
The goatee, that's the style of facial hair.
132
I made a lesson a few months ago on facial hair styles.
133
Okay, so you can go check that out.
134
I'll put the link to that either at the end of this video or I'll put it down there in the description.
135
Okay, so with his cue.
136
This thing is called the cue.
137
When you play pool, the stick is called the cue.
138
Okay, the guy playing guitar is going to get thirsty and order a beer from the bar.
139
The guy sitting at the bar is going to start hitting on the girl, but she's going to coldly reject him.
140
Hitting on.
141
Now I've explained all this vocabulary in my book.
142
The page before this in my book explains the vocabulary that I use in this answer.
143
So hitting on means flirting with.
144
He's going to start flirting with that girl at the bar.
145
Where am I here?
146
But she's going to coldly reject him.
147
Okay?
148
She's going to reject his flirting.
149
Okay?
150
He's going to cope with his depression by getting hammered.
151
Cope means deal with.
152
He's gonna get really depressed because she rejected him.
153
So he's going to deal with his depression by getting drunk.
154
Hammered means drunk.
155
In the end, I think a huge bar fight will break out and the bartender will call the police.
156
A bar fight is when everyone starts fighting each other, punching each other in the face.
157
Anyway, those are some of my predictions in this scene.
158
Anyway, those are some of my predictions in the scene.
159
Now you'll notice this conclusion and this introduction are different from what I just said.
160
I mean, that shows you there are many ways you can introduce your answer or conclude your answer.
161
Okay, so maybe try to practice with a few different introductions, a few different conclusions, and find one that sounds really natural for you.
162
Okay, so let's do some homework.
163
I want you to look at this picture and make some predictions about this picture.
164
Post your answer down there in the comments and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
165
Take care.

Übungstipps
Um Ihre Sprechfertigkeiten zu verbessern, können Sie die Technik des Shadowing anwenden, indem Sie die gesprochenen Inhalte aus dem Video nachsprechen. Achten Sie dabei auf die Geschwindigkeit und den Tonfall des Sprechers. Dies hilft Ihnen, die Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können. Nutzen Sie eine shadowing site, um Ihre Wiederholungen zu unterstützen und vergleichen Sie Ihre Aussprache mit der des Originals.
Beginnen Sie mit kurzen Abschnitten des Videos und wiederholen Sie diese mehrmals, bevor Sie zu längeren Passagen übergehen. Shadowspeak ist besonders effektiv, wenn Sie den Fokus auf einzelne Phrasen oder Sätze legen. Halten Sie sich an die Struktur des Originals, um ein natürliches Sprachgefühl zu entwickeln. Nutzen Sie Gelegenheiten, um experimentelle und interessante Vorhersagen zu formulieren, wie sie in der Lektion erläutert werden.
Wenn Sie Englisch lernen mit YouTube, können Sie gezielt Videos auswählen, die Ihnen helfen, Ihre persönliche Vorhersagefähigkeit zu verbessern. Versuchen Sie, Szenen und Bilder zu analysieren und überlegen Sie, was als Nächstes passieren könnte. Dies fördert nicht nur Ihr Sprechen, sondern auch Ihr kreatives Denken im Englischen.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
