1
Speaking English is annoying.
2
You heard me.
3
It is annoying, especially for learners of intermediate or beginning levels.
4
It doesn't really matter because speaking is a whole different thing
5
that we need to really train for and really do in order to be able to do it successfully.
6
But that's not the point I'm trying to make here today.
7
The point is, it's overwhelming sometimes to create all these different sentences from scratch.
8
There are so many things you need to think about grammar, vocabulary, whether it works for the situation you're in or not.
9
But don't worry.
10
Today, in this video, I'm going to give you 10 templates.
11
Ready sentences that you have to continue building, of course, but good starting points for you to talk about different things without feeling too stressed out.
12
So if you're ready, let's begin.
13
Let's start with a very broad, but also very specific and difficult category, which is talking about yourself.
14
Talking about yourself could be weird, cringy, difficult, or all of the above, but it doesn't have to be.
15
So here are your sentences.
16
Number one, if you want to talk about your hobbies or interests, here's how you can begin.
17
I'm really into, and then hear me out.
18
Now you're going to use either a noun or verb plus ing,
19
which we call For example, I'm really into swimming.
20
I'm really into surfing.
21
I'm really into verb ing.
22
You can take this and use it to talk about your hobbies and interests in any situation.
23
Let's start practicing in the comments.
24
What are you into?
25
Let me know.
26
Now moving on.
27
Number two, we can use this one right here to talk about activities
28
that take up a big part of your life in a good way or a bad way, whatever works for your situation.
29
And this one is, I spend a lot of time plus, and here you're going to add verb plus ing.
30
Verb ing.
31
I spend a lot of time sleeping.
32
I spend a lot of time working.
33
I spend a lot of time worrying about what people think of me.
34
I don't know.
35
So depending on the context of your situation, what you're trying to say, it could be negative or positive, it's up to you here.
36
You have all the freedom to decide.
37
Do you want to practice everything we've learned in this video so far and even more?
38
Well, check out the link in the description box down below, as well as the pinned comment where you can practice all these things for free and also learn a little more.
39
Check it out.
40
Next, if you want to talk about something that you're currently working on or improving, you can use this one right here.
41
I've been trying to plus verb, just base form of the verb.
42
I've been trying to sleep better.
43
I've been trying to study more.
44
I've been trying to practice English.
45
I've been trying to whatever the case may be.
46
Just remember, use a verb here.
47
I've been trying to do.
48
This one really, really shows people that it is something, whatever that verb is, this action is something you're actively doing,
49
actively improving or currently working on.
50
Next, when you want to talk about your hobbies or routines or sometimes preferences, you can use this one.
51
I usually plus verb.
52
And here you also use just the base form of the verb.
53
I usually go to sleep at 10 p.m.
54
I usually go for a run in the morning.
55
I usually walk my dog twice a day.
56
Whatever you want to talk about.
57
Usually, as you know, it's an adverb, but frequency means, you know, most of the time, almost always.
58
So when you want to talk about your daily routines or schedules or preferences about life, for example, I usually don't do it this way or something like that.
59
This is your best friend right here.
60
The next portion is for sharing your opinion because I do see a lot of very stiff things that people use.
61
Like in my opinion, which there's nothing wrong with that.
62
It is very stiff though.
63
You know, it's something you would write in a paper or essay.
64
But in real life, you know, you want to spice it up and you want to use different things.
65
So in my opinion, I'm not saying forget about it completely.
66
Just let's explore some different things you can use to express your opinion.
67
For example, I feel like, and then you just proceed with your opinion or take.
68
You express your opinion or feelings naturally.
69
I feel like something, something.
70
I feel like I can't something, whatever the case may be.
71
Here you would know better what to put because it is your opinion and your feelings.
72
So don't overthink it.
73
There's no specific structure.
74
Just go into whatever you're trying to say after that.
75
Next, I'd say...
76
And then you give your opinion or maybe even a guess.
77
You're trying to guess something.
78
Give your best guess.
79
I'd say they're gonna be late.
80
Next, personally...
81
And then you go with your subject verb, your regular sentence.
82
This way you sort of make it clear
83
that it is your own personal opinion and not a fact or something backed by something else.
84
Next, the way I see it and then you give your opinion or perspective on something.
85
The way I see it and you want to put the emphasis on I.
86
The way I see it, especially when you're arguing.
87
That's how you argue in a very classy way.
88
Next, when you are trying to provide or give information that you're not 100% sure or certain about, here's how you can begin this sentence.
89
As far as I know, and then you give it.
90
As far as I know, as far as I know something something
91
so this way you sort of preface well I'm not 100% sure this is just my limited knowledge of this
92
so as far as I know blah blah blah use it take it run with it try it today
93
and the last one for today is a bit random
94
but I think it'll be very very useful because I don't hear a lot of English learners saying stuff like this.
95
You know when you tell someone a story and you want to make it very dramatic,
96
not dramatic, but very suspenseful and interesting and you want to clearly label things
97
and parts of your story
98
but also you want to prepare people for unexpected you know turns of events or something like that.
99
So this one is perfect for that.
100
When something happened suddenly and and unexpectedly
101
and you want to move your story to the next important event when you talk about it, here's what you should use.
102
The next thing I knew and then you continue.
103
It has this vibe of, you know, the next part of the story was unexpected
104
and it was very fast and I didn't even see it coming or I didn't even expect it.
105
The next thing I knew, something, something.
106
It'll really help your storytelling and people will be very engaged and have fun listening to your stories.
107
Because being a storyteller and being good at telling stories is a big part of fluency.
108
So go ahead, take these.
109
And like I said earlier, if you want to practice these things and learn even more of them, you can check out the link in the description box down below as well as in the pinned comment.

¿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.
