Hey everyone, it is good to finally meet you.

I am Teacher Tiffany.

This video is starting a new season for this YouTube channel.

And moving forward, I will be teaching you English directly.

So let's jump right in.

All right, now for today's lesson, guys, we are going to be looking at how to speak properly in English when you are speaking about making a decision.

Now this is something that is going to be very important for you all as you continue on your English learning journey.

You see many times you have to express yourself, but you don't know the right vocabulary, the right expressions or the right idioms to use.

That's what we're going to talk about today, but specifically about making decisions.

For example, when you have to make a decision about what to eat or where to go, or even what to study,

I'm going to show you some key words and phrases that will make you sound more natural when you speak in English.

So we're going to start with an English vocabulary word.

Now our first word is contemplate.

One more time after me, contemplate.

Now this word means to think about or to think profoundly and at length or to meditate.

Now once again, guys, for pronunciation sake, repeat after me.

Contemplate.

Excellent.

Very good.

Contemplate.

Now we use this word when we're trying to express thinking about something for an extended period of time.

Something that requires you to think deeply.

Another word for that is contemplate.

Now, what I want to do is show you guys some very useful example sentences, okay?

Now, the first example sentence is, he was contemplating about the difficult problem.

Remember, I told you guys something that requires deep thought, okay?

Okay, next she is contemplating about buying a new car.

Okay, now just to tell you guys a quick story.

I remember many years ago when I bought my car.

It was my first car that I was paying for because the other car I had, my parents had purchased for me when I was at university.

Now, before I bought the car, I thought about it for a long time.

I thought deeply about which car I wanted, what year, how many miles I wanted on it.

So I contemplated about buying a new car.

You understand, right?

Very good.

Now, again, I want you to try, as always, every time you learn something in a lesson with me,

I want you to try to make your own sentence and put it in the comment section, okay?

All right, now let's go back to our last example sentence.

Here we go.

The teacher told them to contemplate about the meaning of life.

So again, in this situation, the teacher wanted his or her students to think deeply about what life really is.

What is the meaning of life?

So remember, with this vocabulary word, you use it when you think deeply about something for an extended period of time.

Now, I want to show you guys how to use this word in certain situations, real life situations.

So going back to my screen, here we go.

How to use contemplate in various situations.

First, when buying food.

Example one, we are contemplating about which restaurant we should go to for dinner.

So again, think about a time when you are with your family

or your friends and you want to go out to eat, but you don't know where to go.

But you can think about it for a long period of time

because you want to go somewhere that you will like as well as your family or your friends.

So you can contemplate about where to go.

All right, you got it?

Okay, now the next sentence we had for this situation is my husband was contemplating about

which ice cream he should buy for dessert.

Remember there are many different types of desserts.

Okay.

Now the next situation when going on a trip.

Now I want to pause real quick guys, because there's a PDF for this lesson where you can print and study exactly what we're going over.

It includes all of the sentences.

Now you'll see that it says Speak English with Tiffany Academy.

Now guys, I want you to remember

that the only way you can get these PDF lessons is if you're a member of my academy, the Speak English with Tiffany Academy.

Now you'll see at the bottom of your screen right now, the link for the academy.

You can go there, you become a member, and you can start getting the PDF lessons attached to these YouTube lessons.

So you can study even more by printing them out.

Okay.

All right.

Now back to our example.

Here we go.

All right.

So again, now what we're looking at is when going on a trip.

Example number one, I'm still contemplating whether I should travel around Asia or the UK.

Again, this is a situation where you want to take a trip, but you're not sure where to go.

So you're thinking deeply about it.

You're contemplating where you should travel to, okay?

All right, now our next sentence is, Michael is contemplating going to Paris next year, okay?

I actually remember when I was in high school, we took a foreign language trip and we went to Paris and it was beautiful.

So if you ever have an opportunity, go there.

There's so many museums and the sites, everything was great, especially the croissants.

Croissants are a special type of bread that the French make in an amazing way.

So I remember my trip to Paris as well.

So this individual is saying that he is contemplating about going to Paris, okay?

All right, now our last sentence for this situation is,

she is contemplating about taking a trip to Bermuda later next month, all right?

Great, now our next situation is, when you are at work, okay?

Now, real quick, guys, I think these sentences are going to be very helpful for you

if you are in an environment where you have to speak English with international clients.

The more vocabulary you know, and if you know how to properly use it, the more fluent you will sound.

So pay close attention to these sentences, okay?

All right, our first example sentence is, I am contemplating about how I should respond to his email,

okay, when you get emails from clients.

Next, my boss is contemplating about which team he will choose for the new project.

Okay, so guys, you see now how to properly use the English vocabulary word contemplating in various situations.

Okay, now we're going to move on to our next, okay, our next group.

Now, the next group we're going to look at deals with on the fence,

which is our idiom for this lesson okay now you'll see these circles i'm just emphasizing the pronunciation okay

so after me

100

on the remember the th sound stick your tongue through your

101

front teeth on the fence now for the f sound you

102

need to put your front teeth on your bottom lip so one more time on the fence great job

103

Now let's look at the meaning of this idiom.

104

This idiom means he or she is faced with a situation which they haven't decided on yet.

105

So again, in an easier terms

106

or an easier way of understanding this is you're kind of going between two options or two choices.

107

Should I do this or should I do that?

108

I'm on the fence.

109

So let's go back and look at some example sentences to help you understand it even more.

110

The first sentence is, people are sitting on the fence because they are afraid of the results.

111

It means they're not making a choice because they're nervous.

112

Next, he's still on the fence about whether he will take the job or not.

113

Now, again, remember I explained that on the fence just means you're kind of going back and forth.

114

So I want you to think about an individual, this man in this sentence who has been given a job offer,

115

but he also has an idea of moving to another state next year state next year.

116

So he doesn't know if he should take the job or if he should move.

117

So he's on the fence.

118

All right.

119

Okay.

120

Now our last sentence is going to be, she is still on the fence about whether she is going to travel abroad or not.

121

So again, great sentence.

122

Now let's look at some different situations and how we can use on the fence in these situations.

123

So back to when buying food.

124

Example number one, I am on the fence about spending money to go out to eat instead of eating at home.

125

Now in English, when we say go out to eat,

126

that expression just refers to any time we don't eat at our home or someone else's home.

127

So when we go to a restaurant or a fast food spot, these places are outside of our homes.

128

So we go out to eat, but this individual is on the fence.

129

Should I go out to eat or should I stay at home?

130

Okay.

131

All right.

132

Now back to our second example.

133

My husband is on the fence about which dessert he should choose.

134

Again, we looked at this with the vocabulary word.

135

My husband is trying to figure out which dessert he should actually choose.

136

He's on the fence, okay?

137

All right, now our next situation is when going on a trip.

138

Example number one, I'm on the fence about taking a trip to Asia this month.

139

Very good.

140

Example two, Michael is still on the fence about going to Paris.

141

Now guys, remember when we looked at the vocabulary word, which was great job, contemplate.

142

Remember we said he or Michael was contemplating taking a trip to Paris.

143

Now he's on the fence.

144

Similar situation, but now we've learned an idiom that has a similar meaning that we can use in this situation.

145

Okay.

146

All right.

147

Now the last sentence for that situation.

148

I think she is still on the fence about taking a trip to Bermuda next month.

149

Great job.

150

Now our final situation.

151

when you are at work, okay?

152

Here's the sentence.

153

I am on the fence about the issue he mentioned in the email, okay?

154

Now, when I was a teacher in South Korea, I remember one of my students, one of my advanced English students had this issue.

155

She worked at a company and sometimes she received emails that were in English from international clients.

156

And sometimes she didn't know how to deal with the issues because they were very touchy or very serious issues.

157

So she had to contemplate and think about them deeply and try to decide how to respond.

158

So many times she would be on the fence about how she should deal with the issues.

159

You caught it, right?

160

Good job.

161

Okay.

162

Now the next sentence is my boss is on the fence about making a final selection for the new team project.

163

Okay.

164

Great job.

165

Now what we're going to do guys is go to our expression regarding making decisions.

166

The expression is figure something out one more time, figure something out.

167

And this just means to come to understand a problem.

168

Okay.

169

So again, for pronunciation practice, figure, remember the F sound,

170

to figure, very good, something, T-H, your tongue through your teeth, out.

171

Last time, to figure something out.

172

Again, I want you to imagine there's a problem or an issue and something you are contemplating

173

and you're trying to figure out the best way.

174

You see, even in my explanation, I used figure out because it's such a natural English expression.

175

So when you're contemplating something or trying to find a way to solve an issue or a problem,

176

you can say, I'm trying to figure out a solution or an issue.

177

Okay.

178

All right.

179

Now let's look at the first example sentence.

180

Here we go.

181

I'm trying to figure out why they left.

182

Okay.

183

Next, she was trying to figure out how much everything was going to cost.

184

So now this sentence can be used in a situation where maybe you're at a restaurant with some friends

185

and you're trying to figure out how much the bill will be after you guys have finished placing your order.

186

Okay.

187

So you're trying to figure out what the price or the end result of the price is going to be.

188

You're trying to figure it out.

189

Okay.

190

All right.

191

So use this sentence when you're out with your friends.

192

All right.

193

Here we go.

194

Next sentence is, were you able to figure out how to solve the problem?

195

All right.

196

Great.

197

Now, again, we're going to look at some situations, how to use figure something out in various situations.

198

The first situation, once again, is when buying food.

199

Here we go.

200

I am trying to figure out if I should go out to eat or just stay at home.

201

Once again, I have this dilemma.

202

I'm trying to figure out, should I go out?

203

Should I stay home?

204

Should I go out or should I stay home?

205

I'm trying to figure out what I should do.

206

All right.

207

Okay.

208

Next sentence.

209

My husband is trying to figure out which dessert he should buy from the store.

210

Again, we remember that situation.

211

Next, when going on a trip, here we go.

212

Example one, I'm trying to figure out how I can take a trip to Asia next month.

213

All right.

214

So now in this situation, again, the person wants to travel to Asia, but this time they're trying to figure out how.

215

So maybe they have a big project and they need to finish the project before they leave.

216

So they're trying to figure out how to accomplish all of their goals before they leave or go on their trip.

217

Okay.

218

All right.

219

Next sentence is Michael is trying to figure out how he will buy his ticket to Paris next month.

220

Again, you understand that one as well.

221

And finally, I heard that she is still trying to figure out the details for her trip to Bermuda.

222

Okay.

223

Excellent sentence.

224

Finally, when you are at work, here we go.

225

I am trying to figure out how to respond to his email.

226

Okay.

227

Now this is a pattern that I want you guys to memorize.

228

You can try to use this often.

229

I am trying to figure out how to dot, dot, dot.

230

Again, remember in the comment section, I want you guys to try to use these expressions, the idiom and the vocabulary word, making your own sentence.

231

Now for the expression, try to use this pattern.

232

I am trying to figure out how to dot, dot, dot.

233

Okay.

234

I want to see if you guys can make a sentence using this pattern and the expression.

235

All right.

236

Okay.

237

Now, the next sentence is,

238

my boss is trying to figure out which team he should choose for the new project.

239

Okay.

240

All right, guys, I hope you understood that expression because it's

241

so useful as you are continuing to go on your English journey.

242

It will, again, make you sound so much more natural and like a native English speaker.

243

Okay.

244

All right, guys, I really hope you enjoyed this lesson.

245

Remember to write your sentence and use the expression, the idiom, and also the vocabulary word and put them in the comment section.

246

I will talk to you guys in our next English video lesson.

247

I'm teacher Tiffany, and remember to speak English.

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.
