6 Minute Vocabulary from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary.
2
I'm Rob.
3
And I'm Catherine.
4
And this programme is all about linking words.
5
That's the words and phrases we use to connect ideas and events when we speak or write.
6
Yes, we call them linking words and phrases.
7
They help people to follow what we're saying by showing how ideas are connected to each each other.
8
First, we'll look at some examples.
9
Next, there will be a short quiz.
10
And finally, we'll leave you with a top tip for learning vocabulary.
11
But to start with, let's listen to Angela talking about a lucky escape she had.
12
While you listen, try to answer this question – who or what saved Angela in the end?
13
Here's Angela.
14
So Angela, tell us, what did you escape from?
15
shark.
16
Wow, really?
17
Yes.
18
What happened was, I was swimming off the coast, when all of a sudden I saw a huge black shape coming towards me.
19
To begin with, I thought it was a dolphin.
20
But it wasn't.
21
So, what happened next?
22
Well, I then quickly realised it was a shark.
23
Luckily, I'm a very far swimmer, but in the end it was a boat that saved me.
24
Oh, that's an incredible story.
25
We asked who or what saved Angela? it was a boat.
26
Angela said, in the end, a boat saved me.
27
Lucky lady!
28
Now, Angela helps us to follow her story by using linking words and phrases to tell us what happened,
29
when it happened and how she felt about it.
30
Let's have a look at some of them.
31
OK.
32
Right, now the first one was right at the beginning.
33
Angela said, what happened was.. and this is a really good way to introduce a story
34
because it grabs the listeners' attention and it tells them to get ready to hear a story.
35
Have a listen.
36
What happened was, I was swimming off the coast
37
when all of a sudden I saw a huge black shape coming towards me.
38
OK, good start.
39
Now, another way to tell your story clearly is to use words that show the order of events.
40
Catherine and I did this at the beginning of this programme when we said words like first, next and finally.
41
when we said, first we'll look at examples...
42
Next there'll be a short quiz...
43
And finally, we'll leave you with a top tip.
44
Exactly!
45
Now let's listen to how Angela used words and phrases like these.
46
What happened was, I was swimming off the coast, when all of a sudden I saw a huge black shape coming towards me.
47
To begin with, I thought it was a dolphin.
48
But it wasn't.
49
So, what happened next?
50
Well, I then quickly realised it was a shark.
51
Luckily, I'm a very far swimmer but in the end it was a boat that saved me.
52
So, when you get to the end of your story, use a phrase like in the end or finally to show that your story is about to finish.
53
But in the end, it was a boat that saved me.
54
OK.
55
Now let's hear Angela tell us about how the boat saved her.
56
Fortunately, the boat had already seen the shark and fired a rocket which scared the creature off.
57
That was lucky!
58
Wow!
59
So, Angela uses the adverb fortunately as a linking word to comment on this.
60
Yes, and in the first clip, Angela said said, luckily I'm a fast swimmer.
61
And other comment adverbs you may hear include, unfortunately, sadly and so on.
62
And we can also use adverbs and adverbial phrases like suddenly or all of a sudden, which we heard in the first clip, to say how things happen.
63
We're listening to BBC Learning English.
64
We're talking about words and phrases that link different sentences and parts of a story.
65
Yep, and it's time for a quick recap.
66
So, to start a story we had...
67
Well, what happened was...
68
For ordering events...
69
First of all, to begin with.. then.. next.. after that...
70
To finish a story...
71
Finally, in the end...
72
To make a comment...
73
Luckily...
74
Unfortunately...
75
Sadly...
76
And lastly we had...
77
Suddenly...
78
All of a sudden...
79
Great!
80
Now it's quiz time!
81
Choose a correct linking word or phrase to fill the gaps.
82
Ready?
83
Number one.
84
I tried for weeks to get a ticket to the final.
85
I gave up.
86
Is it A in the end or B next?
87
It's A in the end.
88
Well done.
89
Now number two.
90
It started to rain.
91
I had an umbrella with me.
92
Is it a suddenly or b luckily?
93
It's b luckily.
94
Yep.
95
And finally, number three, which is the correct phrase to introduce your story?
96
Is it a what happened was or b what happened it?
97
And it's a what happened was.
98
It is indeed and well done to you if you got those right.
99
Now before we finish, here's Rob with a quick tip for learning vocabulary.
100
Yes.
101
Why not make a note of new linking devices when you hear other people speak English?
102
On the bus, waiting in a queue or watching TV?
103
Note them on your phone or just write them down somewhere and then try to use them yourself.
104
Top tip, Rob, thank you.

Contesto e Sfondo

Nel video "6 Minute Vocabulary", Rob e Catherine discutono l'importanza delle parole di collegamento in inglese, notando come queste parole e frasi aiutino gli ascoltatori a seguire le idee e gli eventi durante la comunicazione. L'uso efficace di queste espressioni è fondamentale per strutturare racconti e conversazioni, permettendo di collegare chiaramente i vari elementi di una narrazione. La protagonista del racconto, Angela, condivide un'esperienza emozionante di fuga da uno squalo, dimostrando come le parole di collegamento siano essenziali per mantenere viva l'attenzione del pubblico.

Le 5 Migliori Frasi per una Comunicazione Quotidiana

  • What happened was... - Un'ottima introduzione per raccontare una storia.
  • To begin with... - Perfetta per avviare un'esposizione o una sequenza di eventi.
  • But it wasn't... - Utilizzata per contraddire o chiarire un malinteso.
  • So, what happened next? - Per mantenere l'interesse e invitare alla continuazione della storia.
  • Luckily... - Introduce un elemento di speranza o fortuna all'interno del racconto.

Guida Passo-passo allo Shadowing

Per migliorare le tue abilità di shadow speech attraverso il video, segui questi passaggi pratici:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Prima di tutto, guarda il video senza provare a parlare. Concentrati sulle parole e frasi di collegamento utilizzate. Nota come Angela racconta la sua storia.
  2. Pratica lo shadowspeak: Ripeti le frasi dopo averle ascoltate. Usa la tecnica di shadowing in inglese, cercando di imitare il tono e il ritmo del parlante.
  3. Scorri il trascritto: Guarda il trascritto mentre ascolti. Questo ti aiuterà a visualizzare le parole e a capire come si collegano tra loro.
  4. Riflettici sopra: Dopo aver praticato, prova a raccontare una tua storia utilizzando le stesse parole di collegamento. Questo ti aiuterà a consolidare ciò che hai imparato.
  5. Registra te stesso: Infine, registra la tua narrazione e riascoltala per valutare i progressi. Confronta la tua pronuncia e il ritmo con quello del video.

Imparare l'inglese con YouTube è un metodo efficace. Attraverso l'uso di frasi di collegamento e tecniche di shadowing, puoi migliorare significativamente le tue capacità linguistiche e la tua confidenza nel parlare.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
