Thank you for joining me on a rainy day.
2
Nothing new there.
3
So I am in the Conservatory.
4
And I want to share a piece with you that is written by a lady called Cassie Phillips.
5
I came across it on Facebook.
6
Somebody had shared it.
7
and it's one of those pieces that I've read,
8
re-read and read again and it really strikes home for me.
9
So I will share it and then add my thoughts in at the end.
10
So it's called Let Them.
11
Just let them.
12
If they want to choose something or someone over you, let them.
13
If they want to go weeks without talking to you, let them.
14
If they're okay with never seeing you, let them.
15
If they are okay with always putting themselves first, let them.
16
If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, let them.
17
If they want to follow the crowd, let them.
18
If they want to judge or misunderstand you, let them.
19
If they act like they can live without you.
20
Let them.
21
If they want to walk out of your life and leave,
22
hold the door open and let them.
23
Let them lose you.
24
You were never theirs because you were always your own.
25
So let them.
26

36
them love you.
37
Okay so as I say that has affected me on a very personal level.
38
Pause for a deep intake of breath
39
and I knew it would affect me reading it out So I've actually jotted down my ideas beforehand.
40
You have to accept yourself,
41
just as you are, without having to make changes for others.
42
If you feel that you have to change to maintain a relationship,
43
if that change is always one-sided,
44
then the relationship might need to be given some consideration.
45
and do not, not automatically take the blame and punish yourself for any of the things that they have done.
46
Yeah, some of us find that hard to do.
47
And on occasion you might be tempted to heal a rift,
48
but they have to earn a place back in your life,
49
otherwise it will be very quickly back to as was, same old.
50
You need to be shown respect and that your needs,
51
your wishes, you are considered.
52
they don't value you and you deserve to be valued
53
and to be made to feel valued let's face it it's a form of control don't let them control you
54
you are the only one who has control of you unless you give that control away.
55
Never forget that.
56
You belong to nobody but yourself.
57
So establish those boundaries.
58
Establishing them is one thing.
59
Keeping them is another.
60
Have a big conversation with yourself about where those boundaries need to be.
61
And if there would be any opportunity that you might feel you would allow those boundaries to fall.
62
But put yourself, your considerations, top of the pile.
63
that's not selfish it really isn't though many people think it is it's self-caring self-nurturing
64
and boy if those others aren't doing it you must you really must on
65
that note i will say thank you very much for joining me and take care.
66
Take care of you no matter what the world,
67
no matter what other people,
68
be they, in inverted commas,
69
friends or family, work colleagues, whatever, think of you.
70
Thank you for joining me.
71
Bye for now.
72
Bye.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This video serves as an excellent resource for IELTS speaking practice because it emphasizes emotional understanding and personal reflection, both of which can enhance your conversational skills. Engaging with the content will not only improve your ability to articulate thoughts and feelings but also help you understand how to navigate complex relationships using effective communication. By practicing with videos like this, learners can improve their fluency and confidence in English speaking practice, as the topics discussed resonate on a personal level, making them memorable and relatable.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the video, several key expressions and grammatical structures stand out:

  • If they want to choose something or someone over you, let them. - This conditional structure is effective for expressing hypothetical situations and can be a great way to practice future possibilities.
  • You were never theirs because you were always your own. - This example demonstrates the use of the passive voice, which is valuable for learners aiming to add variety to their sentence structure.
  • Let them show you who they truly are, not tell you. - The imperative form 'let them' encourages listeners to embrace action and can be practiced through role-playing exercises.
  • They have to earn a place back in your life. - This phrase uses the present perfect tense, which is crucial for discussing experiences and relationships.

These structures not only provide practical language use but also encourage learners to incorporate emotional intelligence in their conversations.

Common Pronunciation Traps

When practicing your English speaking skills, pay attention to certain words and sounds that may pose challenges:

  • “Let them” - The transition between these two words may be tricky, especially the soft 't' sound in 'let' merging into the 'th' sound in 'them'.
  • “Prove how worthy they are” - The phrase 'worthy' often leads to mispronunciation; focus on the clarity of the 'th' sound and make sure to emphasize the vowel sounds properly.
  • “Ordinary things” - The reduction of vowels in ‘ordinary’ can lead to confusion; practicing this word slowly and then at a normal pace will help solidify its pronunciation.

Utilizing the shadowing technique with this video allows you to mimic the speaker's pronunciation and rhythm, making it an ideal choice for those using a shadowing site to improve their skills. By focusing on these pronunciation traps, learners can refine their ability to communicate clearly in English.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
