Hi everyone, I'm your IELTS tutor Jack and welcome back to another episode of the IELTS Plus English podcast.

Today's topic is comedy, a topic that I really like.

I love telling jokes, I love hearing jokes and I love the genre of comedy.

Now don't forget if you want to have today's handout,

the podcast handout don't forget it is free and it is on www.jax-english.com

if you go there you'll see a kind of free content section

so it's easy to find and

if you are in korea don't forget to check out Naver

Cafe my Naver Cafe Yongguk Yongo Jack's English let's get on with today's episode

so comedy part one warm up do you like comedy I love comedy.

I think comedy is a wonderful genre.

I particularly like comedy dramas and movies.

There's a variety of types of comedy I like.

I like parody, satire and particularly I like stand up comedy, which is very common in England.

already three or four key words from today's podcast handout

so check that out and see what those mean

and we'll do another part one what kind of comedy is popular in your country i come from england

so i would say irony is a really popular kind of comedy particular

particularly sarcasm which is kind of the dark side of irony i don't like sarcasm personally

but it's fairly popular in our comedy um also stand-up comedy

is really popular this is where a comic a comedian stands on stage

and delivers jokes or stories and just has a microphone no props no

nothing else up there and I personally really like

that style okay one more are you good at telling jokes uh not good at telling jokes

but i do like to tell stories

which can be funny you know they can be indirectly funny um

but i i just i suppose i don't have the memory for jokes i don't remember the jokes

so uh i avoid telling jokes okay a very honest one

today let's move on to part two uh put two minutes on the clock

and let's see we have the question describe a movie

or tv program

that made you laugh okay nothing comes to my mind um

perhaps we'll we'll go with the simple one comes to my mind first so two minutes on the clock starts now

I'd like to tell you about Friends I first watched Friends maybe 20

or 25 years ago a long time ago when I was young

and even though I was young I really enjoyed the style of humour I remember watching the episode

and I remember just really liking the characters particularly I liked Ross I think I kind of connected to Ross the most.

I could understand his situation and personality more.

I also loved Joey and Phoebe.

These were some of the characters that really stood out to me from the start.

Let me tell you a little more about Friends.

Now, Friends is a comedy drama.

so it's called a sitcom situational comedy and it's got a lot of irony uh maybe a little sarcasm

definitely a lot of slapstick

and that's a very i would say a bit more of an american style humor

which generally i don't like but in friends i really enjoyed i it it has six characters

I'm not going to name them because it would take me too long but they live in New York

and the drama centres on them in their apartments and their daily lives

and particularly I remember they spend a lot of time in a coffee shop

and it's just constant jokes and funny stories

and Chandler he's the kind of sarcastic one so that's what I really remember for me personally I loved it

And funnily enough, still now I can happily watch episodes

and really enjoy going back to the start and watching all 10 series.

Oh, that was very quick.

Okay.

Again, nothing came to my mind immediately.

But although Friends is not my favorite drama, there are so many movies and dramas that I prefer.

It's just such an easy one to talk about.

And I would say that for most of my students, friends is a really easy one to talk about.

So that's why I chose it.

I followed my structure very strictly, though I didn't get to the future section.

OK, let's do a couple of part threes and then we'll wrap up.

This is where it gets a little tricky.

What is the difference between comedy on TV and comedy in books?

well it's a it's a difficult question

but i would say the biggest difference is

that on tv you can use a lot of slapstick comedy

slapstick comedy is very visual comedy where people get hurt you

know they slip over uh pushing each other something falls on them it's very physical comedy

and as i said very visual

so the medium of tv is the perfect medium for showing

that type of comedy i would say comedy in books

because it's done through words it has to be more subtle you of course you can do things like irony

or satire but it it has to be constructed through words so it's very very different.

Not a bad answer I'm quite happy with that.

Let's go to the last part three is humor easy to translate from one language to another I would say

that it's not easy to translate mostly

because humor is as much about culture as it is about

just the humor itself humor comes from people being able to connect to it.

When you look at the humour in England,

it very often connects to the story of people living in England and the difficulties we face.

And the same can be said for Korea, which is where I live now.

So also there are different styles of humour depending on the country.

Koreans like slapstick I would say whereas England we prefer quite simple stand-up comedy

so on the whole no humor is not easy to translate from one language to another.

Okay notice

that you know with these complicated answers I always try to conclude in order to tie my answer together

and to conclude an answer you can use something like i

did on the whole that's a good pattern in conclusion overall

those are some typical patterns i use to wrap an answer up

and that is everything i have time for

so i hope you enjoyed this episode on comedy

if you did don't forget to like this video like the podcast whatever you're listening

or watching on please like comment subscribe do all of these things

Che cosa imparerai in questa lezione?

Questa lezione ti aiuterà a praticare l'inglese parlato focusing su un argomento divertente: la commedia. Attraverso il video, esplorerai domande tipiche dell'IELTS Speaking, come "Ti piace la commedia?" o "Descrivi un film che ti ha fatto ridere", e imparerai a rispondere in modo fluido e naturale. È l'occasione perfetta per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la confidenza nel parlare, con trucchi pratici per il shadowing!

Parole chiave e frasi utili

Stand-up comedy: Genere di commedia dove un comico si esibisce sul palco con un microfono, senza accessori.
Sitcom (situational comedy): Serie televisiva basata su situazioni quotidiane con umorismo costante (es. "Friends").
Slapstick: Umorismo fisico e esagerato, come cadute o scherzi pratici.
Irony (ironia): Espressione di un senso contrario a quello letterale, molto usata nella commedia inglese.
Parody: Scherzo che imita in modo esagerato un genere o un'opera (es. film di parodia).

Consigli per il practice: shadowing e pronuncia

Per sfruttare al massimo il video, usa la tecnica del shadowspeak: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e la velocità di Jack. Il dialogo ha un tono colloquiale e una velocità media, perfetta per esercitarti. Concentrati sulle parole difficili, come "sarcasm" o "parody", e ripetile finché non le pronunci correttamente. Un shadowing site può aiutarti a sincronizzare ascolto e ripetizione, ma anche con il video in loop puoi ottenere risultati veloci. Ricorda: il segreto è la costanza! Anche 10 minuti al giorno ti aiuteranno a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e a sentirti più a tuo agio nelle conversazioni.

Non dimenticare di scaricare il PDF gratuito del video per approfondire le parole chiave e le domande dell'IELTS. Con questi strumenti, diventerai un esperto nella discussione sulla commedia in inglese!

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video

Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	be constructed · can be said

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.
