1
Hey everyone, I'm Jack and I'm Sarah.
2
Welcome to Everyday English.
3
Today we're going to be talking about money but instead of spending it we're going to be talking about saving.
4
Save is a verb which means to keep or store up
5
and savings is a noun which means the money that you put aside, usually in a bank.
6
We sometimes call all of our savings our life savings or our nest egg.
7
We can also call saving money putting away money.
8
And we can use the idiom saving up for a rainy day, which means saving money for when it's really needed.
9
Before we can put aside money, we have to get some.
10
Let's take a look at the different verbs you can use when talking about where your money comes from.
11
You can earn money, which means to work for it.
12
I want to earn money, so I'm looking for a job.
13
To make money means to get it by any means.
14
It could be earning money by working or by selling something.
15
I made money by having a garage sale.
16
To inherit money can mean to receive money from someone who's died.
17
I inherited money from my grandmother.
18
To find money means to discover something, in this case without expecting it.
19
Note that found is the past form of find.
20
I found money on the floor while I was running.
21
To borrow money means to get money from a personal bank with the intention of giving it back.
22
I borrowed money from the bank to buy a house.
23
Of course the most common way of making money is by earning it and receiving a salary.
24
That's the money you're paid for working.
25
You might also make a profit from selling something or get an allowance, which is money that you're given by someone, for example your parents.
26
You might also make money from investments where you put money into something like shares
27
or real estate that will make a profit in the future.
28
The money that you make from any of these sources is called an income.
29
If you want to save money, you really have to try to make more money than you spend.
30
So a good way to do it is to draw up a budget.
31
It's a list of your expected income and expenditure.
32
For example, I need to budget hard if I want to go on a holiday.
33
Let's listen to a conversation about spending money.
34
Hey Nick, check out my brother's new car.
35
Wow, that looks expensive.
36
Yeah, it wasn't cheap.
37
How did he afford it?
38
Does he have a high salary or something?
39
Yeah, he earns a fair bit.
40
He's really good at budgeting.
41
He's been putting money away since he started working.
42
And he's made a few really good investments.
43
I wish I was good at budgeting.
44
I spend my money as soon as I earn it.
45
Me too.
46
I do have a bit saved up though.
47
I got a small inheritance from my grandfather but I'm saving it for a rainy day.
48
Well, that's just about it from us for now.
49
Have you tried saving with a goal in mind?
50
Did you achieve that goal?
51
How long did it take you?
52
I hope it was worth it.
53
Well, with that, we've come to the end of the lesson.
54
Thanks for watching.
55
See ya.

| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | verb which means · noun which means · day, which means |

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
