1
English conversations are made up of five simple elements.
2
These elements will transform your English fluency.
3
They are opinions, reasons, personal experiences, details, and examples.
4
And in today's lesson, I'm going to teach you how to master each of the five elements.
5
Are you ready?
6
Well then, I'm teacher Tiffany.
7
Let's jump right in.
8
Element number one, opinions.
9
Opinions are personal viewpoints, beliefs, or judgments about a topic that may not be universally agreed upon.
10
So this is the part of a conversation where you share your idea, your thought, your opinion.
11
But why is it so important to understand this first element?
12
Here's the first reason.
13
Expressing opinions helps you engage in meaningful discussions rather than just exchanging basic information.
14
When you are trying to speak English fluently, you want to be able to give your thoughts, your ideas, or your opinions.
15
The second reason why this first element is
16
so important is sharing opinions allows you as the individual to express your personality and build deeper connections with others.
17
This is a very important element.
18
And finally, understanding how to respectfully state your opinion is essential for navigating disagreements in English speaking environments.
19
So the first element of opinions is very, very important.
20
So when do you use it?
21
And then we're going to look at an example.
22
When do you use this element?
23
The first time is when you are asking or being asked directly for your thoughts on a topic.
24
Someone might say, hey, what do you think about this?
25
They are asking you to give your opinion.
26
You can also use it when you are participating in discussions or debates.
27
Remember, English fluency is about mastering the five elements.
28
You can also use this element when you're evaluating options or making recommendations.
29
So what does this actually look like in practice?
30
Check out this example dialogue.
31
These two individuals are having a conversation.
32
Alex is the man's name and Jamie is the female's name.
33
Alex starts the conversation off by saying, I think documentaries are much more interesting than action movies.
34
I believe they give us a deeper understanding of the world and help us become more informed citizens.
35
He started the conversation off by giving his opinion.
36
But check out how Jamie responds.
37
That's an interesting perspective, Alex.
38
I can see why you'd value that educational aspect.
39
However, in my opinion, action movies are more entertaining and provide a better escape from daily life.
40
I feel that documentaries can sometimes be too slow and academic, especially after a long workday.
41
Jamie was able to give her opinion very clearly and she acknowledged that she understood Alex's opinion.
42
But the conversation continued.
43
Alex then responds by saying, I appreciate your point about needing an escape, Jamie.
44
We all need that sometimes.
45
But I still maintain that documentaries offer more lasting value.
46
I consider them to be intellectually stimulating in a way that stays with you longer than the temporary thrill of action sequences.
47
Jamie responds, I see what you mean about lasting impact, Alex.
48
That's fair.
49
Still, I hold the view that good entertainment has its own kind of value.
50
I'm convinced that well-made action movies can develop creativity and imagination,
51
particularly when they explore thought provoking scenarios that make us question what's possible.
52
These individuals only used the first element.
53
Yes, you got it.
54
Opinions.
55
Excellent.
56
They went back and forth in the conversation, giving their opinions.
57
Element number one.
58
Then we have element number two.
59
Reasons.
60
Reasons are explanations, justifications, or logic, supporting an opinion or decision.
61
So you have an opinion, but you have to support it with information.
62
So why is it so important to use this element?
63
Here's the first reason why reasons are important.
64
Providing reasons makes your speech more persuasive and helps others understand your perspective.
65
Remember a conversation is about going back and forth in order for it to go back and forth in a good way.
66
You need to make sure the person understands what you're saying.
67
Second reason explaining your reasoning demonstrates critical thinking skills valued in English speaking,
68
academic and professional settings.
69
My friend, you are intelligent.
70
And this element of English conversation helps you to show the other person how intelligent you are.
71
The third reason is giving reasons creates more sophisticated and mature conversations beyond simple statements.
72
So here's the question.
73
When can you use this second element of English conversations?
74
When can you use reasons?
75
Here's the first time you can use it.
76
After stating an opinion to support your viewpoint.
77
We just heard the dialogue between Alex and Jamie where they gave their viewpoints, their opinions.
78
In a conversation like that, you could add the second element, giving your reasons.
79
You can also use it when you're explaining decisions or choices you've made.
80
And finally, when trying to persuade someone, hey, you know this is the best dessert.
81
Hey, you know this movie's really good.
82
We should go watch it again.
83
When you're trying to persuade someone, you can use the second element of English conversations, reasons.
84
So check out this example dialogue.
85
Let's say, for example, we have Sarah and Michael.
86
Sarah starts off, She
87
gave very good reasons for her opinion.
88
Then we continue with Michael's response.
89
I can definitely see the appeal of fresh local produce, Sarah.
90
For me though, I tend to shop at supermarkets because they're more convenient for my busy schedule.
91
I also choose them because they often have lower prices for everyday items, which helps me stick to my monthly budget.
92
Again, Michael used the second element of English conversations.
93
He gave reasons for his opinions.
94
Sarah responds, budget concerns are important, Michael.
95
I agree.
96
Despite the sometimes higher costs, I shop at farmers markets because I can talk directly to the people who grow the food.
97
I find value in this because I learn about how my food is produced
98
and make more informed choices about what I eat.
99
Again, if we were actually listening to this conversation in real time,
100
in person, it would be hard to pick a side because they're both giving good reasons.
101
Listen to Michael's final response.
102
You know, having that direct connection to food producers sounds meaningful, Sarah.
103
That's something supermarkets can't offer.
104
Still, I shop at supermarkets because they have consistent quality standards and regulations.
105
I appreciate this because it gives me confidence in food safety, especially with products that might not be available locally.
106
Both sides.
107
They both used the second element of English conversations.
108
They both gave strong reasons.
109
It's a powerful element.
110
What about the third element?
111
The third element is personal experience.
112
You see, personal experiences are events, situations, or circumstances that you have personally lived through or witnessed.
113
This third element is powerful.
114
Again, helping you speak English fluently using the five elements of English conversations.
115
Why is it so important though?
116
The first reason why personal experiences is so important is sharing personal experiences makes conversations more authentic and relatable.
117
You enjoy hearing about their personal experiences, about how they were affected, about how they learned from the situation.
118
The second reason why it's so important is personal stories help illustrate complex ideas in concrete and memorable ways.
119
Personal experiences are powerful.
120
And finally, discussing your experiences improves narrative skills,
121
which are highly valued in social and professional English contexts.
122
Contacts we're talking about helping you speak English more fluently.
123
So when can you use personal experiences?
124
When can you use this third element of English conversation?
125
So the first time you can use this element is to create connections by sharing relevant parts of your life
126
Connect with people let them in tell them more about yourself
127
The second time you can use it is to illustrate a point with a real life situation.
128
When you're trying to kind of support your point by giving a real life situation.
129
You can also use it when you want to give advice based on what you've learned firsthand.
130
This is a powerful element.
131
So let's see it actually in action.
132
Imagine this situation between Lisa and Thomas.
133
Lisa starts off by saying, When I visited Japan last year, I was amazed by the efficiency of their public transportation system.
134
Trains arrived exactly on time, down to the minute.
135
I've also lived in New York where the subway runs 24 hours, but isn't always reliable.
136
She's giving her thoughts by telling us more about her personal experience.
137
Now, how does Thomas respond?
138
Thomas says, ah, Japan's punctuality is remarkable, isn't it?
139
You know, I traveled there two years ago and was equally impressed.
140
But what stood out to me was how polite everyone was, even in crowded Tokyo subway stations during rush hour.
141
In contrast, I've spent time in rural areas where I had to rent a car because public transportation wasn't available at all.
142
Now we have Thomas responding by also using the element of personal experience.
143
So how will Lisa respond?
144
Lisa says, that rural experience must have been quite different.
145
While in Tokyo, I experienced an earthquake for the first time
146
and I was impressed by how calmly everyone reacted and followed evacuation procedures.
147
It was nothing like when I had to navigate New York during a major power outage where there was much more chaos.
148
It's like they're transporting us back in time.
149
It's like we're going with them and we're experiencing their life with them.
150
This is the power of the third element of English conversations, personal experiences.
151
And Thomas responds by saying, The cultural difference in emergency responses is fascinating, Lisa.
152
That reminds me of when I participated in a traditional tea ceremony in Kyoto, where I learned about the importance of mindfulness and being present.
153
I've applied those principles when working as a tour guide in my hometown,
154
which helped me notice details I previously overlooked.
155
Lisa and Thomas just used the third element of English conversation.
156
During this conversation, they weaved in all of their personal experiences.
157
This is why it's so important to understand the five elements of English conversation.
158
So what about the fourth element?
159
The fourth element is detail.
160
Details, specific information, facts, descriptions,
161
or characteristics that provide clarity and depth.
162
This fourth element is very important.
163
Why is it so important?
164
Here's the first reason.
165
including details makes your communication clearer and prevents misunderstandings.
166
The second reason why it's so important is detailed speech demonstrates a rich vocabulary and advanced language proficiency.
167
You're able to give enough information to help the person listening to you understand.
168
And the third reason is providing specific details makes your stories and explanations more engaging and memorable.
169
This element of English conversations is very important.
170
So when can you use this?
171
You can use it when describing people, places, or things.
172
Let's say for example someone says hey, can you describe teacher Tiffany?
173
You can say ah teacher Tiffany She teaches us English.
174
She's very passionate.
175
I am.
176
She's very happy I am and she loves to help us speak English fluently.
177
I do you can also say oh she's wearing a
178
Turquoise blue shirt that says let's jump right in and you can describe describe my personality my hair my smile
179
this is what you can do using this element.
180
Alright?
181
The second time, when giving instructions or directions, you can use this element.
182
And finally, when clarifying information that might, that might be misunderstood.
183
So what does this look like, this element being used in a real conversation?
184
Here we go.
185
Imagine a conversation between two people, Emma and Noah.
186
Emma starts off, the apartment we're looking at has two bedrooms with large windows facing east that let in beautiful morning light.
187
The kitchen is newly renovated with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an island with seating for four people.
188
Emma, Emma, listen, if Emma was in my class, she would have gotten an A.
189
Why?
190
Because she gave so many details.
191
But in this conversation, we also have to hear how Noah responded.
192
Noah responds, those east-facing windows sound perfect for morning coffee.
193
What about the bathroom?
194
I noticed it has a walk-in shower with glass doors and marble tiles.
195
The living room is spacious with hardwood floors and a built-in bookcase along the north wall.
196
Noah!
197
Yes!
198
Noah is utilizing the fourth element, giving lots of details as he describes the bathroom and the living room.
199
Then we have Emma's response.
200
Emma says, yes, the bathroom is quite luxurious.
201
Did you also see the master bedroom?
202
Features a walk-in closet with custom shelving and a ceiling fan with a remote control.
203
The second bathroom is currently set up as a home office with high-speed internet connections and soundproofing panels.
204
What are they doing?
205
In this conversation, they're using the fourth element of English conversations.
206
They're giving details.
207
They're helping us even see and imagine what the apartment looks like.
208
And finally, Noah responds, the home office setup would be perfect for our remote work needs.
209
I was also impressed with the building amenities.
210
Have you checked out the rooftop garden with raised beds for growing vegetables.
211
The neighborhood location is convenient too with three coffee shops within walking distance and a year round farmer's market.
212
This is the perfect example dialogue to understand how to utilize the fourth element.
213
Details.
214
Makes sense, right?
215
Now we have to jump into the fifth element.
216
The fifth element is examples,
217
specific instances, illustrations, or cases that demonstrate or clarify a point.
218
Now, why is this element so important?
219
Here's the first reason why it's important to understand the element.
220
Number five of examples.
221
Using examples helps clarify abstract concepts and makes them easier to understand.
222
It also helps you to demonstrate your ability to apply general principles to specific situations.
223
And finally, this element is important because it helps you provide relevant examples,
224
which show your knowledge depth and makes your speech more convincing.
225
Examples are powerful.
226
So when can you use this element?
227
You can use this element to support general statements with specific instances.
228
You can also use it when you're comparing different situations.
229
And finally, When you're demonstrating patterns or trends, you can use this fifth element of English conversations by giving examples.
230
So what would an example dialogue look like?
231
Here we go.
232
Between David and Sophia, David starts off, many animals use camouflage for protection in the wild.
233
For instance, chameleons change color to blend with their surroundings and avoid predators.
234
Another example is the leaf insect, which looks exactly like a leaf with body parts that resemble leaf veins and edges.
235
What is happening?
236
David is giving examples and we're following along as we listen and read the conversation.
237
Then Sophia responds, those animal adaptations are fascinating, David.
238
You know, in the business world, we see similar adaptive strategies.
239
Some companies offer great work-life balance.
240
For example, Google provides on-site childcare and flexible hours for parents.
241
Another example is Patagonia, which encourages employees to take time off for outdoor activities.
242
They are giving examples in this conversation.
243
So David now is going to respond to Sophia.
244
The Patagonia example reminds me of how nature and business can both develop specialized solutions.
245
Certain plants have adapted to extreme environments, such as the barrel cactus,
246
which stores water in its thick stem to survive desert conditions.
247
Another fascinating example is the Venus flytrap, which catches insects to supplement its nutrition in poor soil.
248
Notice how they're not just giving examples, they're acknowledging the person before them, right?
249
They're acknowledging what the person said and then they're adding their examples.
250
So how does Sophia respond?
251
Sophia now says, that's a perfect parallel to environmental adaptation in architecture, David.
252
There are excellent examples of sustainable buildings like the Edge in Amsterdam, which uses solar panels and rainwater collection.
253
Another impressive example is the Bullitt Center in Seattle, which is designed to be net zero energy and process water,
254
much like those specialized plants you mentioned.
255
what happened?
256
They used element number five.
257
They gave examples.
258
These five elements of English conversation are powerful.
259
I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
260
And if you want to continue studying with me and mastering these five elements, you can join our family,
261
our English family, by going to speakenglishwithtiffany.com forward slash S E L N.
262
Once again, speakenglishwithtiffany.com forward slash S E L N.
263
Each month, there is a new topic where I teach you
264
and students around the world how to finally utilize the five elements and speak English fluently like a native English speaker.
265
I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
266
You're still there.
267
You know what time it is.
268
It's story time.
269
I said it's story time.
270
All right.
271
So I've mentioned this story before and it's a short one,
272
but it really makes me laugh and smile whenever I think about this situation.
273
So this happened maybe about two years ago.
274
My sister, maybe a year and a half, maybe.
275
So my sister and brother-in-law purchased a dog.
276
His name is Baron.
277
Cute, cute.
278
And he knows me very well because I've been around since he was a baby.
279
So he's very familiar with everyone in our family.
280
So my sister and brother-in-law were going to be going out of town.
281
And so they said, hey, Tiff, can you watch Baron for the afternoon?
282
I said, sure, no problem.
283
Now I live in an apartment and the apartment does allow animals.
284
So I was like, ah, it's okay.
285
It's no problem.
286
I'll keep him for one afternoon and one night.
287
So I go pick him up from their house.
288
Again, he knows me.
289
So he's excited.
290
He sits in the car.
291
He's excited.
292
And we get to my apartment and he's been here before, but he was just kind of walking around and stuff and he was fine.
293
Now that same afternoon, I also had an event to go to.
294
So I brought him home, spent maybe about, excuse me, maybe about an hour or so with him.
295
And then I started getting ready for the event.
296
I had to get some water.
297
So I am putting my clothes on and everything.
298
He's just kind of watching me and I'm about to go to head out
299
and you know you know how dogs look at you like
300
they don't want you to go ever he didn't bark he just kind of looked at me longingly
301
and I was like hey man you know I'll be back in about three hours
302
so enjoy yourself here so I walk I close my apartment door lock the door
303
and I see my neighbor
304
so I walk over to where my neighbor is standing by his door
305
and we're talking for maybe about five or ten minutes I hadn't seen them in a while.
306
And all of a sudden we heard this loud screaming and crying.
307
And it sounded like a child, like maybe two or three year old, but it sounded like maybe they were getting in trouble.
308
They were getting a spanking.
309
Not that they were in any danger, but they were just crying.
310
And so my neighbor and I were talking and I said, man, whose child is that?
311
That child is not happy at all.
312
but we continued to talk, but the screaming and crying didn't end.
313
So we both paused and I listened.
314
I said, where is it coming from?
315
Now, my apartment was behind me and I noticed that the sound was coming from behind me.
316
So I said, hold on one second to my neighbor.
317
And I kind of stepped closer to my apartment and the sound got louder.
318
And I stepped closer to my apartment again and the sound got even louder.
319
I said, Oh my goodness.
320
What I thought was a crying child was actually the dog.
321
He was like, that's the dog.
322
I was like, what in the world?
323
So I quickly opened my door because it was very loud.
324
So it was disturbing everyone.
325
So I opened my door and as soon as I opened my door, the dog is at the door screaming.
326
And then he looks at me and stops.
327
And it's like he's smiling at me
328
and I said you have got to be kidding me you've
329
been here crying like a child needless to say I did
330
not make it to the event I did bust out laughing though
331
because how does a dog sound I mean literally we both my neighbor
332
and I both thought it was a child crying needless to say
333
that was the last time the dog stayed here I said uh-uh I can't have my neighbors upset
334
because the dog is loud I can't have you crying whenever I have to run to the store
335
or go to an event.
336
So I just visit him at their house.
337
Um, and yeah, that is the story of a dog that sounded like a human.
338
I'll talk to you in the next lesson.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
