Hi everyone, this is Anne speaking to you from Canada.
2
Today, we are going to take a look at how to practice the English way of thinking.
3
In every lecture, we practice the English way of thinking.
4
If you don't know native English speakers' way of thinking,
5
you have to translate English into your language when you hear it,
6
and then translate from your language into English when you speak it.
7
So, the English way of thinking is one of the most important skills you have to master
8
if you want to improve your English.
9
Here, we want to show you a sample regarding how to practice the English way of thinking.
10
For effective training, we selected one of the most frequent basic verbs in English.
11
It is want.
12
I will show you how native speakers use the word in their daily lives.
13
Before starting the lecture, I want to share the practice scenario.
14
1. We will show you a main idea.
15
2. We will add supporting ideas using the 6 WH questions.
16
What, who, where, when, why,
17
and how, step by step.
18
3. We will practice expressions changing the supporting ideas.
19
As always, we strongly recommend that you repeat the expressions as many times as possible in a loud voice during the lecture.
20
It might look easy, but if you don't practice using your ears and mouth,
21
you will not be able to hear and speak when you talk with native speakers.
22
The first one.
23
The main idea is, I want.
24
Okay, let's add supporting ideas.
25
I want how, really.
26
I really want and what?
27
Three slices of pizza.
28
I really want three slices of pizza and where?
29
On the plate.
30
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate and when?
31
Right now.
32
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now and for who?
33
For my son.
34
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my son and why
35
because he is hungry so the full sentence is
36
I really want three slices pizza on the plate right now for my son because he is hungry.
37
Now let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.
38
I will change the pictures of the supporting ideas and you should speak the expression in a loud voice.
39
First please say it confidently.
40

41

51
There are so many different expressions if you mix and match the supporting ideas.
52
And next, the main idea is he wanted.
53
adds supporting ideas to it.
54
He wanted how?
55
Just.
56
He just wanted.

63
And when?
64

66
And why?
67
Because he had homework.
68
So the full sentence is,
69

70
Now, let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.
71
I will change the pictures of the supporting ideas and you should speak the expression in a loud voice.
72
First, please say it confidently.
73
He just wanted to go to the dormitory early last night because he had homework.

you can practice lots of different expressions.

Let's extend the sentence, adding the supporting ideas.

Let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.

Practice Tips
To effectively improve your English pronunciation using the shadowing technique, follow these tips while practicing with this lesson:
- Start by listening closely to the speaker and pay attention to their intonation and rhythm. Rewinding and replaying sections can help you grasp these nuances.
- Use a shadowing app or a shadowing site to facilitate your practice. These tools often provide playback features that allow you to control the speed of the audio.
- Practice speaking out loud after the speaker, attempting to match their speed and tone. This is known as shadow speak, which can greatly enhance your fluency.
- Repeat key phrases multiple times, focusing on clarity and confidence. For example, practice saying, "I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my son because he is hungry." Adjust the supporting ideas as suggested in the lesson to expand your vocabulary.
- Consider recording yourself to monitor your pronunciation and adjust accordingly. Listening critically to your own voice is instrumental in the improvement process.
By consistently applying these techniques, you will not only improve your English pronunciation but also develop a deeper understanding of the English way of thinking, enabling you to communicate more effectively.
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.
