Hello everyone!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Chats.
3
I'm Emma.
4
And I'm Alex.
5
A big hello to everyone listening today!
6
How are you doing?
7
I hope you're having a good day.
8
And before we get into today's conversation, don't forget to subscribe to the channel.
9
It really helps us keep the challenge going.
10
Yes!
11
We're getting very close to the finish line now.
12
Welcome to Day 27!
13
Brilliant!
14
Day 27!
15
I know!
16
It feels like we started this challenge just a few days ago.
17
Yeah, and now we're on day two of the final week.
18
Only a few more days.
19
So Alex, how are you feeling today?
20
I'm feeling good.
21
A little tired, maybe.
22
Tired?
23
Yeah, I stayed up a little late last night again.
24
Watching football? Of course.
25
What about you?
26
I'm good.
27
Actually, I'm feeling pretty happy today.
28
Nice!
29
Did something good happen?
30
Nothing special today, but I had a really nice weekend.
31
Ah, now that's a good way to start today's topic.
32
Exactly.
33
Because yesterday we talked about feelings.
34
Today we're going back in time.
35
Not literally.
36
Sadly, no time machine in the studio.
37
You never know.
38
Maybe one day.
39
So, today's topic is Describing a Past Event.
40
When you see a friend, you often talk about things that already happened.
41
We must use the past tense.
42
Yes.
43
The past tense shows that an action is completely finished.
44
For many English verbs, this is easy.
45
We simply add "-ed".
46
For example, play becomes played.
47
Watch becomes watched.
48
Cook becomes cooked.
49
Visit becomes visited.
50
So if I say, I visited my parents last week, we know the visit is finished.
51
Right.
52
But some verbs are irregular.
53
They don't use ed.
54
They change their spelling completely.
55
Like go becomes went.
56
Eat becomes ate.
57
Have becomes had.
58
We becomes saw, and do becomes did.
59
You don't need to memorize all of them today.
60
It takes practice, but you will learn them quickly.
61
Yes.
62
Just listen to how we use them in real conversations.
63
Emma, let's show our listeners how to tell a story about the past.
64
Okay.
65
What did you do last week?
66
Hmm, I actually had a special family event.
67
Oh, what was it?
68
It was my older brother Jack's birthday.
69
Oh, nice!
70
What age is he now?
71
He's 29.
72
Oh, yeah.
73
He's a year older than me.
74
Did you have a party?
75
Yeah, we did.
76
We had a small family gathering.
77
What did you do?
78
Well, I wanted to do something special.
79
So, I invited my parents and Jack to my house for a dinner party.
80
Aww, lovely.
81
Did you cook?
82
Yes, I did.
83
I cooked for three hours.
84
I made a very big Japanese curry from scratch.
85
My dad was very proud of me.
86
And everyone enjoyed it.
87
Nice!
88
So you can say, I cooked dinner for my family.
89
Exactly.
90
That's a regular past tense verb.
91
Cook became cooked.
92
Right.
93
Did you eat cake?
94
Yes.
95
After dinner, we had chocolate cake.
96
Of course there was cake. Of course.
97
Did you make the cake?
98
Yeah.
99
I made it.
100
Ah.
101
So make becomes made here.
102
Exactly.
103
an irregular verb.
104
And did you get him a present?
105
Yes, I did.
106
I got him a new watch.
107
He really liked it.
108
Nice.
109
So get becomes got, like becomes liked.
110
And what else did you do?
111
After we ate the cake, we talked, laughed, and stayed together for the evening.
112
Sounds like a really nice birthday.
113
It was.
114
That is a beautiful memory from last week.
115
You used so many great past tense verbs.
116
Cooked, made, ate, got, and had.
117
Thank you.
118
What about you, Alex?
119
What did you do last week?
120
Did you do anything special?
121
I had a pretty busy week, actually.
122
Last Saturday, my best friend Mark and I played in a soccer tournament.
123
A soccer tournament?
124
Yes.
125
There were several teams, and we played a few games during the day.
126
Whew, that sounds exhausting.
127
Did you play well?
128
It was.
129
I actually scored a goal for my team.
130
No way.
131
Did you win?
132
Yes, we won.
133
We were all very excited and happy.
134
Really?
135
Congratulations.
136
So tell us about the game.
137
Well, the first game started in the morning.
138
I was a little nervous at first, but after a few minutes, I felt much better.
139
I ran around the field for almost an hour.
140
Wow.
141
You must be very proud of yourself.
142
I am a little proud.
143
So, how did you celebrate your big win?
144
Well, I was extremely tired after running so much, so Mark and I went to a restaurant.
145
We ate huge burgers and drank cold sodas.
146
Great.
147
So you played soccer, scored a goal, won the game, went to a restaurant,
148
ate burgers, and drank something cold.
149
Yes.
150
That sounds like a pretty good Saturday.
151
What happened when you got home?
152
I went home and took a shower.
153
Then I sat on the sofa.
154
Sit becomes sat.
155
Correct.
156
You really used a lot of irregular verbs in that story.
157
Listeners, notice how Alex and I told our stories.
158
We started with the time.
159
Last week or last Saturday.
160
Then we explained what the event was.
161
A birthday dinner or a soccer game.
162
And finally, we used past tense verbs to describe what we did.
163
I cooked.
164
I gave.
165
I ran.
166
I ate.
167
Telling a short story about your life is the best way to practice English.
168
People love to hear what you did.
169
So, let's practice a short, natural conversation.
170
Imagine we're back at work on Monday morning.
171
Good idea!
172
This is perfect for small talk with colleagues.
173
Okay, we see each other near the coffee machine.
174
Let's try it.
175
Hi.
176
Good morning, Emma.
177
How are you?
178
How was your weekend?
179
Good morning, Alex.
180
It was really nice, thanks.
181
I visited my family on Saturday.
182
Oh, nice.
183
What did you do?
184
We had dinner together.
185
I cooked Japanese curry and my brother made a chocolate cake.
186
That sounds delicious.
187
It was.
188
What about you?
189
I played in a soccer tournament with Mark.
190
Oh, yes.
191
You told me about that.
192
How did it go?
193
It went really well.
194
We won our game.
195
Wow!
196
That is amazing!
197
Congratulations!
198
How did you celebrate?
199
After the game, we went to a restaurant and ate burgers. That sounds very Alex.
200
You always find a way to include food in your stories.
201
That's not a bad thing, right?
202
No, I suppose not.
203
That was a perfect friendly conversation.
204
Yes.
205
When you ask someone about their past week, You show that you care about them.
206
It's very polite.
207
Now it is time for our vocabulary highlight.
208
Let's review two important words from today's chat.
209
Good idea.
210
The first word is event.
211
E-V-E-N-T.
212
Event.
213
An event is something that happens, especially something important or special.
214
It could be a birthday, a wedding, a sports game, a concert, or even a family dinner.
215
So, for example, Emma's brother's birthday was an event.
216
Exactly.
217
And your soccer tournament was also an event.
218
Right.
219
I could say, I went to a soccer event last weekend.
220
That's right.
221
Or, my family had a special event last week.
222
And our second word is celebrate.
223
C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E.
224
Celebrate.
225
To celebrate means to do something special, because something good happened.
226
For example, you can celebrate a birthday.
227
You can celebrate a wedding.
228
Or you can celebrate when your soccer team wins.
229
That's definitely what I did.
230
You can say, We celebrated my brother's birthday with a family dinner.
231
Or, We celebrated our victory at a restaurant.
232
Very good.
233
Okay, everyone.
234
It is time for our shadowing practice.
235
Let's practice describing the past.

We will say a simple sentence.

इस पाठ के बारे में

आप "Day 27: How to Talk About The Past | 30-Day English Speaking Challenge | Shadowing Practice" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।

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।
