1
What do you do when your mind goes blank?
2
You know, when someone asks you a question in English, you understand the question, but when you open your mouth, nothing comes out.
3
You feel frustrated.
4
You feel overwhelmed.
5
Why is my mind blank?
6
Why can't I say anything?
7
Well, my friend today, I am going to give you five simple steps for what to do when your mind goes blank.
8
Are you ready?
9
Well, then let's jump right in step number one,
10
name the people involved, no matter what the topic is, no matter what the discussion is,
11
there will always be people involved in that topic, in that discussion, in that situation.
12
So you first must find out who those individuals are and start speaking about those individuals.
13
Your mind may be in this space of not able to find information, but if you know, okay, let me stop.
14
Step one, just start speaking about the people involved.
15
Why does this work so well?
16
You see, it grounds your answer in real people, which makes it relatable.
17
One thing I want you to keep in mind as it relates to English fluency, English fluency is not just about the number of words,
18
you know, or the number of expressions you're able to use in one sentence or with one response.
19
It's really about connecting, connecting with the person you're speaking to.
20
So when you start by speaking about the people involved, you become more relatable.
21
The person listening to you wants to connect, wants to understand, ah, okay.
22
There are people involved and it gets their attention more.
23
They want to draw in, to draw closer, to understand more about what you're saying.
24
The second reason why it's
25
so important for step one to name the people involved is it helps the listener picture the situation right away.
26
One thing I love about English is that English is a very visual language.
27
Even though you're using words, you're really painting a picture every time you open your mouth, Every time you speak English,
28
you're painting a picture for the person listening to you, for the person you're having a conversation with.
29
So when you start by naming the people involved or describing the people involved immediately in that person's mind,
30
this picture starts to come to life.
31
The third reason why it's
32
so important to start by naming the people involved is it shows how you relate to the story.
33
Is it your friend?
34
Is it your coworker?
35
Is it a family member?
36
How are you connected to what you are speaking about?
37
So step one is name the people involved.
38
Here are some quick examples.
39
Let's say you are having a discussion with your friends.
40
Let's start with your friends and you and your friends are discussing relationships between best friends.
41
This is a topic that is kind of a hot topic nowadays, friendships, and how you relate to your friends.
42
So you'd start in this conversation, in this discussion, again, step one, yes, name the people involved.
43
So your who would be my best friend and I, and let's say your best friend's name is Jenna.
44
So for the friends discussion about best friends, you can say for the people involved, my best friend, Jenna, and I,
45
let's say you were in a conversation or a discussion with your coworkers and you're discussing relationships between managers and employees.
46
Remember this step, the step one of naming the individual or naming the individuals,
47
it applies to any and every situation, any and every topic.
48
So if you're speaking with your coworkers about relationships between managers or employees, step number one, name the people involved.
49
You could say for the who my old manager, Mark, and our team of five, you're starting with the people involved.
50
And let's say another example is your classmates, your college classmates, or your classmates from high school.
51
And there's this discussion about relationships between parents and children.
52
You can start by naming the people involved when you're going to give your response or your thoughts.
53
And you can say, okay, my mom and my younger brother, you're starting first with the people involved.
54
This leads us to step number two, again, helping you to stop experiencing this mind going blank situation.
55
Step number two is state what happened or what you think.
56
What happened or what you think you've already set the groundwork,
57
the framework by letting me know if I'm the person listening to you, who is involved.
58
Now the natural next step is to tell me the listener, what happened or what you think, what is actually going on now?
59
Why is this so important to do next right after you say the individuals it's important
60
because it's the core of your point and it answers the question directly.
61
Listen, when you're having a conversation with someone, when you're in this discussion and you start speaking immediately in their mind,
62
there are questions that arise questions that they hope are answered as you're speaking.
63
So you started step one, sharing the individuals.
64
The next thing they're going to naturally want to know is, so what happened or what do you think?
65
So when you answer this in step two, it becomes the core of your point and it answers that question in their mind immediately,
66
making them want to continue listening to you.
67
The second reason why step two is so important is it keeps your answer focused instead of drifting.
68
This is something I have noticed that happens a lot with many English learners, even at the intermediate and advanced level.
69
You know, so many words, you know, so many expressions and phrases, and you have a lot of information in your mind.
70
Now it's good to have the information, but if you're not able to organize the information,
71
the person listening to you is not going to stay focused.
72
They're not going to continue listening to you, but when you are letting the individual will know what happened.
73
You are focusing on one point in time, one specific situation or one thought.
74
It makes it easier for the other individual or individuals to continue following along.
75
And the third reason is it gives the group something clear to react to.
76
We're all listening to you speak now.
77
Tell us why, why should we listen to you?
78
Because you're letting us know what's happening.
79
So again, step number two is state what happened or what you think.
80
So for example, if we go back to the situation, your friends, you're discussing relationships between best friends.
81
That's the topic you've already given who now it's the,
82
what you stopped talking to your best friend for almost a year after a misunderstanding, you're letting us know what happened.
83
You're pulling us in, or let's say the coworker situation, you and your coworkers are discussing relationships between managers and employees.
84
And now you want to give them what happened.
85
You can say he started weekly one -on -one meetings and the team became much happier.
86
You're setting the scene.
87
You're setting the stage.
88
Or what about the other example?
89
Classmates, either high school or college classmates discussing relationships between parents and children,
90
what, what is happening or what happened?
91
Ah, they argued constantly about his career choice.
92
Remember in step number one, we said for your classmates discussion, you said, oh, my mom and my younger brother, those are the individuals.
93
Now what happened between them?
94
They argued constantly about his career choices.
95
You see how these steps are connecting and the person listening to you is constantly leaning in wanting more.
96
Now we get to step number three.
97
Step number three is give the timeframe.
98
You've already shared who the individuals are.
99
You've set the stage.
100
What happened now?
101
The next natural question to pop up into the listeners brain is when did this happen?
102
Even without them saying it, this is going to pop in their mind.
103
So if you are following your steps in your brain, you're not going blank because you have this simple method you're following.
104
You're following the steps.
105
You're going to keep the conversation rolling.
106
Step three, give the timeframe.
107
When did it happen?
108
You set the stage, you set the scene.
109
Now give me the timeframe.
110
Now, why is it so important to do this?
111
The first reason is it adds context and helps listeners follow the timeline.
112
When someone is listening to you as you're speaking,
113
they're basically wanting you to take them on a journey and they're trusting that you will take them on a journey.
114
So take them on a journey, but you have to let them know where are they?
115
When is this happening?
116
So it adds context and helps them follow the timeline.
117
The second reason why it's so important for step three to give the timeframe is.
118
It shows whether something is a past experience or a current view.
119
Is this something that happened in the past?
120
Is it happening right now?
121
Let me know when this is happening.
122
And the third reason is it makes your story sound real and specific, not made up.
123
It gives you more validity.
124
It gives you more of a footing to stand on.
125
People will start believing you like, ah, okay, this is a real story.
126
They'll continue listening and this will affect your confidence when you're saying something and the person listening to you,
127
their facial expression, their body language kind of shows that they're interested.
128
It makes you feel more confident and more likely to continue speaking.
129
English fluency is not just about your words.
130
There are so many other pieces involved.
131
So step number three, give the timeframe.
132
Now let's go back to our example.
133
So again, our first example, we had again, friends discussing relationships between best friends.
134
Now remember for step one, for the people, we said, my best friend, Jenna, and I for step two, for what happened, I said,
135
ah, we stopped talking for almost a year after a misunderstanding, but now the timeframe step three, well, when did this happen,
136
this happened back in college.
137
When Jenna and I were back in college, I'm setting now the timeframe, helping the person, helping my friends understand when this occurred.
138
What about our second example?
139
Coworkers were discussing relationships between managers and employees.
140
Remember for the who, or for the individuals involved for step number one, I said my old manager,
141
Mark, and our team of five people for the step two, What happened?
142
I mentioned that
143
Mark, our managers started weekly one -on -one meetings and the team became much happier now for step three, the timeframe.
144
When was this?
145
This was about three years ago at my first job.
146
So now I am painting this picture.
147
You're seeing everything being laid out.
148
And our third example, remember classmates, either high school or college classmates,
149
having a discussion about relationships between parents and children for the who for step one, for who's involved.
150
I said, my mom and my younger brother, step two, remember what happened?
151
I explained that, ah, they argued constantly about his career choice.
152
Now, step three, the timeframe.
153
When was this?
154
Ah, this was last year, right after my younger brother graduated.
155
So you see, we're going on this path, step one, who was involved,
156
step two, what happened, step three, when did it happen?
157
And now we have step four again, when your mind goes blank, just think about these simple five steps.
158
We're on step four.
159
Now it's time to actually set the steam, set the scene,
160
tell the person where it happened where was this occurring the physical location
161
now why is this step step number four
162
so important the first reason is it adds detail and color especially
163
when culture shapes the situation
164
you're literally allowing the person to start putting even more details
165
in their brain as they listen to you you've painted the picture who's involved what actually happened
166
when was it now they're getting a place to add to this image
167
that they're painting in their mind step two or step four
168
but reason two is it gives listeners a clear mental picture of the setting
169
i am an artist i love drawing i love painting
170
so i love when we think about english as a painting as an image
171
because we're all visual as human beings even if you're not an artist you're still a visual person
172
You see people, you know, you see your family members, your friends.
173
So when you're speaking to someone, you want to make sure they're seeing what you're saying.
174
And reason number three, why it's so important to set the scene where it's happening.
175
It makes your story more vivid and memorable.
176
You want the person listening to you to remember the conversation, to feel happy about the time he or she spent with you.
177
So let's go back again to our examples.
178
Again, set step number four is set the scene.
179
Excellent.
180
Now we started off with step number one, who was involved.
181
So we have our friends discussing this relationship between best friends, right?
182
For the, who I said, my best friend, Jenna and I for the, what step number two, what happened?
183
We stopped talking for almost a year after a misunderstanding for the When I said, ah, this happened
184
Back in college.
185
Now, again, step four, where was this?
186
Where, when we were roommates in a tiny apartment in Chicago, all of a sudden you're envisioning this apartment.
187
And I said, tiny, a small apartment where in Chicago, the windy city.
188
Okay.
189
You're seeing what was happening.
190
What about the second example?
191
Remember the coworkers discussing relationships between managers and employees, Mark and the other five team members.
192
Where did this happen?
193
A small marketing agency in Toronto.
194
You see how specific we're getting again, we're answering one question.
195
Step number four, where was it?
196
But the details, not just the marketing agency, but a small marketing agency in Toronto.
197
I have this picture in my head, even as I'm teaching you.
198
I remember when I went to Toronto, Canada to visit my friend.
199
So I have a picture in my mind of Toronto, Canada marketing agency.
200
Okay.
201
This building, but it's small.
202
Okay.
203
A small room.
204
You want them to start picturing in their mind where it happened.
205
And then what about our third example situation?
206
Classmates discussing relationships between parents and children.
207
Remember my mom and a younger brother situation, right?
208
Where at our family home in Atlanta, usually during Sunday dinner.
209
So all of a sudden you're picturing a table, people sitting down, eating dinner together in Atlanta, Georgia, a family home.
210
So it's not just your mother and your younger brother, but the family is together.
211
You're starting to envision to picture this situation even more.
212
This leads to step number five.
213
You're seeing how powerful this simple step method, five -step method is when your mind goes blank.
214
Step five is explain the reason or your opinion.
215
In other words, why, why did you mention this?
216
Why is this important?
217
Why did this situation happen?
218
Why is it so important to use step number five?
219
Here's the reason it shows your thinking and turns a fact into a real contribution.
220
When you're in a conversation, you don't want to just relay facts.
221
It is important to give facts, but to prove that you are fluent, that you are upper intermediate and advanced, you need to add your opinion,
222
your thoughts on a situation.
223
Step number five, the reason or your opinion, the why it shows your thinking, you're critically thinking about this topic,
224
which adds to the conversation.
225
Reason number two, it invites others to agree, disagree, or build on your point.
226
What happens?
227
The conversation keeps going when you share the reason they're going to respond either by agreeing,
228
disagreeing, or building on your point.
229
And number three, reason number three, it shows depth, not just the surface answer, not just the surface thought.
230
It makes you sound thoughtful rather than basic.
231
Like, huh?
232
You really have a lot to add to this conversation.
233
Again, simple five steps, but it adds so much.
234
So let's go back to our examples.
235
Remember the friends having this discussion about relationships between the best friends.
236
Now we have step five, the why.
237
So why did that happen between you and Jenna?
238
Because neither of us wanted to be the first to apologize.
239
That's why we were estranged for a year.
240
That's why we didn't talk.
241
What about the coworkers discussing relationships between managers and employees?
242
Why was Mark doing this, these one -on -one meetings between you and the five other team members?
243
Because he noticed people were too nervous to share their ideas in big team meetings.
244
And what about our third example?
245
The classmates are having a discussion about relationships between parents and children.
246
You're sharing about your mother and younger brother.
247
Why?
248
Because my mom wanted him to become a doctor, but he wanted to study music.
249
That's why there was this argument between your mother and your younger brother.
250
So you see how, again, in a moment when your mind would have went blank, you could have used this simple five -step method,
251
who, what, when, where, and why.
252
But let's see it all together.
253
Going back now to our example, we've organized each piece of information.
254
Again, your mind went blank.
255
Stop. Who?
256
people involved.
257
What?
258
What happened? When?
259
When did it happen? Where?
260
Where did it happen?
261
Why?
262
Why did it happen?
263
Now put it all together.
264
Example one, the friends discussing relationships between best friends.
265
Let's recap who my best friend,
266
Jenna and I, what stopped talking for almost a year after a misunderstanding when back in college,
267
where, when we were roommates in a tiny apartment in Chicago
268
and why neither of us wanted to be the first to apologize guys.
269
Combining this information, what do we get?
270
Listen closely.
271
My best friend and I, my best friend
272
Jenna and I stopped talking for almost a year after a misunderstanding.
273
This happened back in college when we were roommates in a tiny apartment in Chicago.
274
We stayed silent for so long because neither of us wanted to be the first to apologize.
275
Amazing response, advanced English response, a response that will come out.
276
When initially your mind went blank, you simply start thinking about the who, what, when, where, why simple five steps.
277
And this comes out.
278
What about example two coworkers having a discussion on relationships between managers and employees again,
279
who my old manager, Mark and our team of five.
280
What he started weekly one -on -one meetings and the team became much happier. When?
281
About three years ago at my first job. Where?
282
A small marketing agency in Toronto. And why?
283
He noticed people were too nervous to share their ideas in big team meetings.
284
The combined response now.
285
My old manager, Mark, started weekly one -on -one meetings with our team of five, and the team became much happier.
286
This was about three years ago at my first job, a small marketing agency in Toronto.
287
He started the meetings because he noticed people were too nervous to share their ideas in big team meetings.
288
Absolutely amazing.
289
But what happened again?
290
The simple five steps.
291
Who was involved?
292
What happened?
293
When did it happen?
294
Where did it happen? and why did it happen?
295
And finally, our third example, classmates again, discussing relationships between parents and children. Who?
296
My mom and my younger brother.
297
What?
298
Argued constantly about his career choice. When?
299
Last year, right after he graduated. Where?
300
At our family home in Atlanta, usually during Sunday dinner. And why?
301
My mom wanted him to become a doctor, but he wanted to study music now the combined response my mom
302
and my younger brother argued constantly about his career choice
303
this was last year right after he graduated
304
it usually happened at our family home in atlanta during sunday dinner they kept arguing
305
because my mom wanted him to become a doctor, but he wanted to study music.
306
Five simple steps to help you finally stop experiencing a blank mind.
307
Hope you enjoy this lesson and I'll talk to you next time.
308
You still there?
309
You know what time it is.
310
It's story time.
311
I said it's story time.
312
All right.
313
I have another story for you this week.
314
Today, our story is entitled
315
The Night Her Mind Went Blank.
316
It was June 17th, 1967, a summer night in New York city.
317
You know how
318
New York city is, right?
319
Bright lights, big city.
320
Now this is a true story and I'm not going to tell you the individual's name just yet.
321
She was 25 years old.
322
I'm going to paint this picture for you.
323
She was 25 years old, a girl from Brooklyn.
324
Her father died when she was just a baby and her family did not have much money growing up.
325
Life was hard.
326
Life was not easy, but the difference was she had a voice.
327
You see, as a teenager, she sang in small nightclubs, then on Broadway, then on records.
328
And by 25, she was one of the biggest stars in America.
329
This young lady who came from a poor family was one of the biggest stars in America.
330
Her voice was unmistakable.
331
Her voice was remarkable.
332
She was absolutely amazing. But then.
333
On one June night, she was invited to sing and she walked onto a stage in Central Park.
334
I've been to Central Park.
335
Central Park is absolutely beautiful.
336
A very large park in New York City.
337
She walked onto the stage and in front of her, there weren't a thousand people.
338
There weren't 20 ,000 people.
339
There was a crowd of more than 125 ,000 people ready and waiting,
340
longing to hear the voice of this 25 -year -old woman with a beautiful voice.
341
Can you picture it?
342
A sea of faces, smiling, looking, waiting, anticipating her singing.
343
As far as you can see, people everywhere, all of them waiting, all of them watching her.
344
She started to sing and then it happened.
345
Her mind went blank.
346
The words to a song she knew, a song she'd sung before many times were just gone.
347
And it happened again on another song that same night.
348
The words just wouldn't come to her mind.
349
Her mind went completely blank.
350
Now, she got through the show, but something inside her broke that night.
351
She later said it frightened her so much to stand there in front of all of those people,
352
her mind going blank, not being able to sing.
353
It frightened her so much that except for fundraisers,
354
she didn't perform in public for 27 years.
355
27 years, not months, not days, not weeks, 27 years.
356
Think about that.
357
Literally one of the greatest voices in the world.
358
And when I say her voice is amazing, absolutely amazing for 27 years, one of the greatest voices in the world.
359
And she kept it hidden, not because she couldn't sing.
360
Her voice was still there.
361
She could still sing very well, but because she was afraid her mind would go blank again. Does that sound familiar?
362
Maybe, you know, English, maybe you've practiced for months, for years, but one moment where the words disappeared and now you stay quiet.
363
You let the conversation go on without you because what if it happens again?
364
Listen, I want to be honest with you.
365
I was in Korea for 10 years.
366
I studied Korean and I remember having moments just like this
367
when my mind went blank and I just kind of sat there quietly listening, letting the conversation go on.
368
And I understand that feeling.
369
That's exactly what she did for 27 years.
370
She let things go on.
371
She closed her mouth, But then she decided she was tired of letting that fear decide for her.
372
In 1994, she went back on tour.
373
And I remember this clearly her first public concerts in nearly three decades.
374
And the world showed up for her.
375
That tour became one of the biggest concert tours of the decade.
376
Years later, she said it simply.
377
She had stage fright for 27 years and she just had to face the fear.
378
So who was she?
379
Her name is Barbara Streisand.
380
So here's what I want you to remember.
381
My friend, your mind, it will go blank sometimes.
382
It happened to one of the most famous singers in history

इस पाठ की शब्दावली और बोलने के सुझाव
यह स्पीकिंग पाठ वीडियो “What Do You Do When Your Mind Goes Blank?” पर आधारित है। सबसे ज़्यादा दोहराए गए शब्द ये हैं: step, happened, involved, blank, relationship। इस वीडियो में शैडोइंग के लिए 389 वाक्य और 4176 शब्द हैं। बोला गया हिस्सा 29:51 लंबा है। वक्ता लगभग 140 शब्द प्रति मिनट की स्थिर गति से बोलता है, जो शैडोइंग के लिए आरामदायक है। 91% शब्द अंग्रेज़ी के 3,000 सबसे आम शब्दों में से हैं, इसलिए शब्दावली आसान है। इसके 389 वाक्यों में से 78 प्रश्न हैं, इसलिए यह प्रश्नों के लहजे और छोटे जवाबों के अभ्यास के लिए अच्छा है।

दोहराने लायक वाक्य
वीडियो के छोटे, पूरे वाक्य जिन्हें आप रोज़ की बातचीत में इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं:

- Why can't I say anything?
- Tell us why, why should we listen to you?
- What about our second example?
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | is involved · are answered · being laid |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | you've already set · have noticed · you've already given |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 83 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे you're, they're, we're। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: breathe /bɹiːð/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: friendship /ˈfɹɛn(d)ʃɪp/, contribution /ˌkɑntɹɪˈbjuʃən/, facial /ˈfeɪ.ʃəl/, envision /ɪnˈvɪʒn̩/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, contribution /ˌkɑntɹɪˈbjuʃən/, critically /ˈkɹɪt.ɪ.kə.li/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: invite /ɪnˈvaɪt/, framework /ˈfɹeɪm.wɜːk/, quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/, vivid /ˈvɪvɪd/, validity /vəˈlɪd.ɪ.ti/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, nowadays /ˈnaʊ.ə.deɪz/, arise /əˈɹaɪz/
- /æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: blank /ˈblæŋk/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, react /ɹiːˈækt/, anticipate /ænˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/, classmate /ˈklæs.meɪt/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर topic, listener, apologize जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
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।
