पाठ बनाया जा रहा है...
1
I am not a big drinker, but learning English helps me still be a part of the fun.
2
SPS acknowledges the traditional custodians of country and their connections and continuous care for the skies, lands and waterways throughout Australia.
3
You are at a party.
4
Everyone is laughing, clinking glasses and wishing your friend a happy birthday.
5
You came to her party even though you have an early start tomorrow.
6
You don't want to drink, but you still want to enjoy the party.
7
I'm Josipa and in this episode we are practicing how to politely say no to a drink without spoiling the fun.
8
So, Alan is topping up everyone's wine, and Claire, well, Claire had enough for now.
9
Want another glass?
10
No thanks, I'm pacing myself.
11
Don't want to have one too many.
12
You sure?
13
It's a special occasion.
14
Go on, let your hair down.
15
I've been whining and dining a lot lately.
16
I'll skip this one.
17
Fair enough.
18
I'll be on dry month soon, but cheers in the meantime.
19
Claire really kept her cool there.
20
When you keep your cool, you stay calm and don't get upset or nervous, even when things get difficult or awkward.
21
She really didn't want another glass of wine, but she also didn't want to seem impolite.
22
Let's see how she did it.
23
First, she said… No thanks, I'm pacing myself.
24
Don't want to have one too many.
25
I'm pacing myself.
26
If you're pacing yourself, you're taking things slowly so that you don't get too tired, too full, or in this case, drink too much.
27
You're being careful and managing your own limits.
28
You're pacing yourself.
29
You could also say, I'm taking it slow.
30
And that would mean the same thing.
31
Claire also said, I don't want to have one too many.
32
It means that you don't want to drink more alcohol than you can handle.
33
To have one too many means having just a little too much, enough to feel tipsy.
34
When you are tipsy, you feel a little lightheaded and a bit unsteady.
35
It's that funny, happy feeling after a small amount of alcohol, but before you're fully drunk.
36
You're tipsy.
37
When I'm tipsy, I try to keep my cool because it's so easy to have one too many in those moments.
38
Wouldn't you agree?
39
Alan then said, You sure?
40
It's a special occasion.
41
Go on, let your hair down.
42
To let your hair down is to relax and enjoy yourself, especially if you have been careful or serious for a while.
43
We use the phrase go on when we are trying to encourage someone to do something, in this case, to accept the offer of a drink.
44
I work hard, so when I'm on holidays, I let my hair down, but not too much.
45
I mean, I like to relax, but even when I'm having fun, I try not to go overboard.
46
That's another way of saying we don't drink too much.
47
I've been whining and dining a lot lately.
48
I'll skip this one.
49
Whining and dining means eating fancy meals and often drinking wine, usually at restaurants or special events.
50
So, Claire said that she'll skip another drink this time.
51
She doesn't want any more alcohol.
52
Another way to politely say no when someone is offering you a drink is...
53
I'll sit this one out. Or...
54
I'll give this one a miss.
55
At the end of the dialogue, we heard Alan say...
56
I'll be on dry month soon, but cheers in the meantime.
57
A dry month is a period, usually a whole month, when someone chooses not to drink alcohol at all.
58
People might do this for health reasons, as a personal challenge, or simply to take a break.
59
After the holidays, I always do a dry month to recover from the partying I do on my holidays.
60
It makes me feel, I don't know, healthier.
61
What about you?
62
Let's say that you never, ever drink alcohol.
63
When out at a party or a restaurant and someone offers you alcohol, you can say...
64
I'm sorry, I don't drink. Or...
65
I keep to soft drinks.
66
Soft drinks are non -alcoholic drinks, usually fizzy or sweet, like soda, juice, lemonade or sparkling water.
67
You could also say...
68
I'm on a permanent dry spell.
69
This is a playful way to say that you never drink alcohol.
70
A dry spell usually means a period without something, often rain or luck.
71
But you can use it to say that you are not drinking alcohol at all.
72
There are lots of ways to politely refuse a drink.
73
And now we have some tools.
74
So let's listen carefully to Alan and Claire.
75
And let's pay attention because soon we'll get a chance to repeat after them.
76
Want another glass?
77
No, thanks.
78
I'm pacing myself.
79
Don't want to have one too many.
80
You sure?
81
It's a special occasion.
82
Go on, let your hair down.
83
I've been whining and dining a lot lately.
84
I'll skip this one.
85
Fair enough.
86
I'll be on dry month soon, but cheers in the meantime.
87
It's time to practice.
88
See if you remember the meaning before hearing the answer.
89
What does it mean to keep your cool?
90
To keep your cool means to stay calm and don't get upset or nervous, even when things get difficult.
91
What does it mean to let your hair down?
92
To let your hair down means to relax and enjoy yourself, especially after being careful or serious for a while.
93
Now, let's repeat after Alan and Claire some phrases we can use to say no to having more drinks.
94
No thanks, I'm pacing myself.
95
I'm taking it slow.
96
I don't want to have one too many.
97
I'll sit this one out.

इस पाठ के बारे में
इस पाठ में, आप यह सीखेंगे कि कैसे शिष्टता से शराब के लिए "नहीं" कहना है, बिना पार्टी का मज़ा खराब किए। जब आप किसी समारोह में होते हैं, तो कभी-कभी यह महत्वपूर्ण होता है कि आप अपने निर्णयों को बनाए रखें, विशेष रूप से जब आप शराब नहीं पीना चाहते हों। इस वीडियो में, हम कुछ उपयोगी वाक्यांशों का अभ्यास करेंगे जो आपको इस स्थिति में मदद करेंगे।
मुख्य शब्दावली और वाक्यांश
- I'm pacing myself. - मैं धीरे-धीरे ले रहा हूँ।
- I don't want to have one too many. - मैं ज्यादा नहीं पीना चाहता।
- Tipsy - हल्का नशा में होना।
- Let your hair down. - आराम करें और मज़ा करें।
- Whining and dining - फैंसी भोजन और शराब पीना।
- I'll skip this one. - मैं इसे छोड़ दूंगा।
अभ्यास टिप्स
इस वीडियो के संवाद की गति और टोन को समझने के लिए, अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग का अभ्यास करना बहुत फायदेमंद हो सकता है। जब आप वीडियो देखते हैं, तो उसके बोलने के तरीके की नकल करते हुए सुनें। यह आपके उच्चारण को सुधारने और बोलने की गति को बढ़ाने में मदद करेगा। आप शैडो स्पीच तकनीक का उपयोग कर सकते हैं, जहां आप संवाद को ध्यान से सुनकर फिर से बोलते हैं। धीरे-धीरे शुरू करें, और जैसे-जैसे आप सहज महसूस करें, अपनी गति बढ़ाएं।
जब आप संवाद को दोहराते हैं, तो यह सुनिश्चित करें कि आप सही इंटोनेशन और जज़्बात व्यक्त कर रहे हैं। अगर आपको कोई वाक्यांश कठिन लगता है, तो उसे बार-बार सुनें और बोलने का प्रयास करें। इससे आपकी अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास बेहतर होगा।
याद रखें, हर बार जब आप अभ्यास करते हैं, तो आप बेहतर होते हैं। आप अपने आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाने के लिए इस तरह की गतिविधियों को नियमित रूप से कर सकते हैं। तो चलिए, मिलकर अंग्रेजी बोलने का मज़ा लेते हैं!
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | I've been whining |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — जो अभी या इन दिनों हो रहा है | is laughing · are practicing · is topping |
| “will” से भविष्य will + क्रिया — फ़ैसला, वादा या अनुमान | I'll skip · I'll be · she'll skip |
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
