Hello everybody and welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
2
I'm Brian Stewart.
3
Well, we're on our last lesson for Unit 1 talking about architecture.
4
In Lesson 3, we're going to be talking about a famous architect, right?
5
We've talked about the architect as a job, we've talked about examples of famous architecture around the world.
6
Now let's talk about a famous person who is an architect and his name is Frank Lloyd Wright.
7
We can see many of his buildings still around today.
8
We're going to focus on Let's Learning about Frank Lloyd Wright.
9
Well who was Frank Lloyd Wright?
10
What did he look like?
11
There he is.
12
He looks very thoughtful.
13
Of course this is an old picture.
14
Frank Lloyd Wright lived a while ago.
15
He's not living anymore.
16
And he designed many famous buildings in America.
17
He kind of looks like Einstein, right?
18
Very thoughtful with the white hair.
19
But anyway, this is him.
20
He was a very famous architect.
21
Now, what are some of the buildings that he left behind?
22
This is an example of a house.
23
This house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
24
In fact, he designed and he had built many different houses.
25
and if you're lucky and if you are an owner of this house, you can be very proud.
26
And of course, the house is quite expensive though.
27
But they're very well designed and they're very easy to live in.
28
They're very good design.
29
They look and feel very nice.
30
Also, Frank Lloyd Wright didn't just design houses.
31
He designed lots of different types of buildings.
32
Also, he designed different types of structures that are like monuments or statues.
33
And this is an example of one of the monuments or statues that Frank Lloyd Wright created.
34
So architects don't just create one type of building like a house or an office building.
35
They do many different things.
36
Architects can be very creative and build all sorts of different structures.
37
And we'll read about that later.
38
But before we get to the reading, we should go over the vocabulary.
39
The first word we're going to study here is the word to describe something that doesn't go straight.
40
Now, if a road goes straight, we say, okay, it's straight.
41
It doesn't have any what?
42
It doesn't have any curves.
43
Okay, if you see a road that goes to the right or it goes to the left, we say it has a curve.
44
We can say there is a curve in the road. Be careful.
45
Slow down.
46
If you're riding your bike, you can go fast if it's straight, but slow down on a curve.
47
Okay, next word.
48
Now, looks like this is the, she lives here, right?
49
She's answering the door and she is coming by.
50
Why?
51
She is someone who goes to a place for a short time.
52
What do we call this person?
53
We call this person a visitor.
54
She is visiting her.
55
She is visiting her, right?
56
So she is a visitor to her home, okay?
57
If you come to my house, you are a visitor to my house.
58
If I go to your house, I am a visitor to your house, a visitor.
59
The next one, to change how someone thinks or acts.
60
So if you want to change the way someone behaves, maybe you don't like their behavior or maybe you want to improve their behavior.
61
Like for example, in a sports game, you need to influence.
62
You need to influence them.
63
So the fact that mom and dad are, they like to play tennis.
64
They like to play sports that will influence their daughter daughter.
65
She will grow up and she will like to play sports too because they're changing how someone else thinks or acts.
66
You influence them.
67
Who has influenced you in your life?
68
Next one, the area around something.
69
Okay, so if we say that like there's many buildings in a city, what do we call the area around the buildings?
70
We call it the environment.
71
It's also the area around us, right?
72
We can have different environments.
73
If we are in the city, we say we are in an urban, urban environment.
74
Urban means city.
75
We are in the city.
76
That's the type of environment we are in.
77
But if we go to the country, then we say we are in a rural, I'm sorry, I was thinking about the pronunciation.
78
Rural.
79
Be careful because pronunciation is 힘들o.
80
Rural.
81
Right?
82
R and L.
83
Rural.
84
Rural means you're in the country.
85
So you can have an urban environment that's in the city or you can have a rural environment.
86
There's just one L.
87
That's out in the countryside.
88
So different environments.
89
It's the area.
90
What is your environment like?
91
Next one.
92
Wow.
93
Very pretty.
94
Looks like somewhere in Europe, maybe Switzerland.
95
It's very pretty.
96
If we talk about the land being very pretty, we can say it's beautiful.
97
Also, another specific word for the land, we say it's scenic.
98
Scenic. So, beautiful.
99
Very pretty.
100
It's beautiful.
101
If we're talking about the land, the landscape, we say it's scenic.
102
In Switzerland, it's very scenic countryside.
103
It's very beautiful countryside.
104
Next one.
105
To have information about.
106
If you have information about something, you know it.
107
So what information do you have inside your head?
108
That's the same as asking, what do you know?
109
Now, know is an irregular verb.
110
So we use it when we're talking in the past.
111
Quaggo, right?
112
We say, know, chigum, knew, chane, and known.
113
Maybe for a long time.
114
I have known that for a long time.
115
So to know, know, knew, known.
116
Did you know I was from America?
117
Yeah, I've known that for months.
118
Okay.
119
I knew that before.
120
Okay.
121
And what do you know now?
122
Know, knew, known.
123
Okay, next one.
124
Useful items in our home that we can move around.
125
So there are many useful items.
126
You can sit on them.
127
You can put things inside them.
128
They are containers.
129
you can put things on top of them.
130
So we're talking about chairs, sofas, tables, cabinets, useful items in our home, but we can move them around.
131
They're not fixed, right?
132
This is a fireplace.
133
We're not talking about that.
134
You can't move the fireplace, right?
135
It stays there.
136
But the things you can move around, we call furniture.
137
Furniture. Be careful.
138
When we say furniture, we mean everything.
139
Furniture is non-count.
140
Don't know.
141
No S at the end of furniture.
142
Never say furnitures.
143
It's furniture.
144
There's a lot of furniture in this room or there's only one piece of furniture in this room.
145
Okay.
146
There's a little furniture or there's a lot of furniture, but don't use S.
147
It's non-count.
148
Okay.
149
To finish doing something important.
150
You finished doing something important, right?
151
So you have achieved something. To achieve.
152
What have you achieved in your life, right?
153
You've graduated from different grades in elementary school.
154
Maybe you're going on to middle school or starting high school.
155
You've successfully achieved graduating from these different grades.
156
You maybe got an A on a test.
157
Hopefully more than one test.
158
You've achieved, you've made many achievements.
159
Okay, so you have achieved something.
160
Now achievement, as one word, that's the noun.
161
But achieve, just achieve, that's the verb.
162
What did you achieve?
163
I have many achievements.
164
Okay, next one.
165
Natural, like plants and animals.
166
When we go to the store and we buy something, we want to look for maybe organic foods organic means they were made naturally.
167
Think about that.
168
We think, well, plants are natural.
169
What are you talking about?
170
The thing is, the idea there is that for a long time, many plants are grown using chemicals or man-made products,
171
but sometimes this might be unhealthy.
172
Those chemicals might not be good for our bodies.
173
So now people are more concerned or are interested in foods that are grown completely naturally with no chemicals,
174
no man-made chemicals.
175
And we call that type of food organic.
176
Nothing unnatural was used to make these plants.
177
No unnatural chemicals, for example.
178
Okay, next one.
179
Different from everything else.
180
So, and this is a good example because this is what we call a fingerprint.
181
fingerprint.
182
And if you think about it, I have a print on my finger, right?
183
You have a print on your finger.
184
But if we put them here side by side, they will be different.
185
Why?
186
Because everybody has a unique.
187
Unique means one of a kind.
188
You're the only person with that fingerprint in the world.
189
Isn't that interesting?
190
Right?
191
Of course, police use fingerprints to find criminals, right?
192
So maybe it's not great, but of course you're not a, you will, you won't do anything bad.
193
But think about that.
194
The fingerprint that you have on your finger is different from your sister.
195
It's different from your brother.
196
It's different from your mom or your dad.
197
You are unique.
198
Only you have that certain pattern on your fingers.
199
You are unique and not just in fingerprints, but in many other ways too.
200
Okay, the next word is this.
201
Is my pronunciation okay?
202
That's a difficult word for me to pronounce.
203
But if you have to go to the bathroom, if you have to go to the bathroom, where we go to the bathroom, you use this device here.
204
It's kind of like an appliance.
205
What do we call it?
206
We call it a toilet.
207
So I need to use the toilet is very common.
208
I need to use the toilet.
209
Now, some people, when they're in a department store or they're in a movie theater and you need to use a toilet, some people might say, excuse me, where is the toilet?
210
Now, in that case, they might be talking about the room.
211
Maybe they don't have to use the toilet.
212
Maybe they just want to wash their face or change their clothes, right?
213
For some reason.
214
In that case, you can also say, where is the rest room?
215
Or where is the bathroom?
216
It's actually more polite to say, where is the restroom, than to say, where is the toilet?
217
So if you want to be polite, it's better to say, where is the restroom?
218
You can say bathroom, but most common for public places, we say, excuse me, where is the restroom?
219
And then you can tell your friend, I have to use the toilet.
220
But, you know, it's more polite to say restroom.
221
Anyway, so, but we use the toilet in the restroom.
222
Next word.
223
Okay, now in this word we have water.
224
Going from a high place to a lower place.
225
It's a lot of water.
226
And we're talking about a lot of water.
227
Not a little water, but a lot of water.
228
Like a river, right?
229
Or a large stream.
230
Going from a high place to a low place.
231
And it's a very easy word when you think about it.
232
Because we're talking about water.
233
What does the water do?
234
It's falling.
235
So we say it's a waterfall.
236
Very easy word, right?
237
Water, waterfall, waterfall.
238
It's not a verb, it's a noun, a waterfall.
239
And there are many famous waterfalls in the world.
240
Okay.
241
Done with no mistakes.
242
Wow, look at that.
243
A plus, big percent, choo-yo, right?
244
So done with no mistakes, what do we call that?
245
We say he did it perfectly.
246
Now, ly means it's an adjective, I'm sorry, adverb, and that defines the verb.
247
So he did it perfectly because perfectly we're describing how did he do it, right?
248
But we can also use just the word perfect.
249
His score is perfect.
250
Now in this case it's an adjective because we're talking about a noun.
251
We're describing a noun.
252
His score is perfect.
253
He did it perfectly.
254
Okay so that's the difference using ly.
255
Are we describing the verb or are we describing the noun.
256
How did you do on your last test?
257
Did you do it perfectly?
258
Did you have a perfect score?
259
I hope so.
260
Okay, let's move on.
261
A hard cover for some sea animals.
262
Do you like to go to the beach?
263
On the beach, when you're walking along, you have the water and the sand, and right next to where the water comes, you can find many hard coverings.
264
These are parts of animals, right?
265
They're not stones, they're parts of animals.
266
Animals made those.
267
What do we call them?
268
We call them sea shells.
269
And as you can see, they can be very beautiful and different designs and some people like to collect them.
270
Okay, but try not to collect too much of them in some places because the next person who goes there, there's no sea shells.
271
So sometimes it's best just to leave things in nature and just look at it, appreciate it, but leave it there for the next person to come and enjoy it too.
272
Okay, but seashells.
273
Okay, next one.
274
A long floor that goes up.
275
Unfortunately, there are people who are handicapped.
276
They cannot move normally.
277
So we need to help them.
278
And one way to help them is like this.
279
If you look at this boy, you think, how can he go upstairs?
280
If there's a building and there are only stairs in the building, it's very terrible for him.
281
How does he get into the building?
282
So many buildings will build these long floors that go up to help handicapped people who are in wheelchairs.
283
We call these areas ramps.
284
They're a ramp.
285
It's a nice gentle slope that you can go up in a wheelchair or for other people, maybe older people or people who are injured and they have a hard time,
286
they can go up the ramp more easily than other people who just climb up the stairs.
287
Okay, the next one.
288
The act of finding new information.
289
So this is what scientists do all the time.
290
They're trying to find new information.
291
So they do research.
292
Usually when we talk about research, of course scientists do a lot of research, but many other people do research too, right?
293
Professors at the university, if their subject is literature,
294
they're researching the old text about maybe William Shakespeare or some other famous author from a long time ago.
295
If you are an artist,
296
you will do research by researching famous painters in history or famous painters or new modern trends in painting.
297
When you find new information, you are doing research.
298
And be careful here, research is a non-count noun.
299
People do research.
300
We don't do researches.
301
We do research.
302
Okay, so the scientists have a lot of, are doing a lot of interesting research.
303
It's non-count.
304
Don't put an S on the end of it or ES.
305
Okay, now let's review the words that we have just learned and with some exercises.
306
The instructions are choose the word that best completes the sentence.
307
These are our words.
308
We need to find one, the best one, to put into these blanks.
309
Number one, you should beep more in school.
310
Somebody's always telling you this, right?
311
Sorry.
312
You don't work hard enough.
313
Okay.
314
So you should what in more in school?
315
You should influence more in school.
316
You should influence your friends.
317
That doesn't make sense.
318
You should allow, allow.
319
That doesn't make, allow what?
320
You should sleep more.
321
Yes, that's it.
322
You should sleep more in school.
323
No, absolutely not.
324
I'm sorry.
325
I didn't say that.
326
Okay.
327
You should achieve more in school.
328
That makes sense.
329
Okay.
330
That's the right one.
331
Don't sleep more in school.
332
Okay.
333
I'm just kidding.
334
You should achieve more in school.
335
In other words, if somebody doesn't work hard enough, let's say your friend is a little lazy.
336
They don't study hard enough.
337
They get bad grades on their tests.
338
You could say you don't achieve enough.
339
You should achieve more in school.
340
You don't work hard enough.
341
Okay.
342
So work harder, achieve more.
343
Okay.
344
Number two.
345
Don't forget number one.
346
You should achieve more in school.
347
Okay.
348
Number two, that lady is beep.
349
She should be a movie star.
350
When you watch the movies, when you, when you look at the movies these days, normally movies aren't really real,
351
The people in the movies are always very good looking.
352
Especially it's interesting when you look at movies that are based on a true story.
353
And you look at the actors.
354
The actors are always usually much better looking than the people who the story is based on.
355
That's very interesting.
356
But that's part of entertainment.
357
So what can we say?
358
That lady is beyond.
359
Beyond means she's further away.
360
That doesn't make sense.
361
She is beautiful.
362
Ah, she's beautiful.
363
That's probably the right answer.
364
She is achieve.
365
You can't say somebody is achieve.
366
Achieve is a verb, not an adjective.
367
So that doesn't make sense.
368
That lady is perfectly.
369
No, remember perfectly describes a verb, not a noun.
370
So that wouldn't work.
371
If you said that lady is perfect, that could be an answer, but this is perfectly, so it doesn't fit grammatically.
372
The best answer, of course, is beautiful.
373
Like I said before, that's probably your answer.
374
That lady is beautiful.
375
She should be a movie star because when we look at movies usually the beautiful people are the movie stars.
376
That's changing recently.
377
Nowadays there are more and more people who look like real people in the movies
378
and that's maybe a good thing too because it really should be based on talent not beauty.
379
Okay.
380
Three, the road beep up ahead, be ready to turn.
381
Remember when I talked about this, I said, if the road is straight, you don't have to be so careful, but if the road does this,
382
right, you have to be ready to turn, right?
383
So what does the road do?
384
Does the road influences?
385
Does it achieves?
386
Does it curves?
387
Does it fits?
388
The road, of course, curves up ahead.
389
The road curve so be ready to turn remember a curve can be to the right
390
or in chokuro or it can be to the left
391
when chokuro or jaijan right um still learning my korean okay
392
so it can curve either direction to the right
393
or to the left be ready to turn turn right
394
or turn left okay four do you beep what the homework is for tonight so if your teacher gave you some homework
395
right and you were sleeping you don't what oh sorry that's cursed you don't know what the homework is
396
so you ask your friend do you know what the homework
397
is for tonight do you know what the homework is for
398
tonight you wouldn't say do you chance that's not right do you believe
399
that doesn't fit and do you research no do you know
400
if you have the information in your head You have the answer in your head then you know it.
401
If you don't have the answer in your head, you're going to try to find it then you will research it.
402
But we don't say do you research, we say do you know because we want to know do you know the information or don't you know the information.
403
Do you know what the homework is for tonight?
404
And we can use many words here.
405
Do you know how?
406
Do you know where?
407
Do you know when?
408
Do you know why?
409
Do you know who?
410
Okay, so we can use lots of these question words here after do you know
411
and we want to know if you know that information or not.
412
Do you know how to get to school?
413
Do you know where I live?
414
Do you know when the test is?
415
Do you know why we're having a test?
416
Do you know who our teacher is?
417
Right?
418
If you know this information, you can use these question words after do you know to find out that information from your friends.
419
Okay, let's continue.
420
No, do you know what the homework is for tonight?
421
Okay, next one, number five.
422
Many, beep, go to the new museum every year.
423
So when you go to a museum, you go there for a short time.
424
You don't live there, you don't stay there.
425
You go there for a short time and then you leave.
426
So what types of, what can we describe that situation?
427
Many environments.
428
Environments don't go to museums, right?
429
visitors, ah, visitors go for a short time.
430
That's our answer.
431
Many visitors go to the new museum every year.
432
Not faster, not seashells go to the museum.
433
Maybe there might be an exhibit on the, about seashells, but they don't go there every year.
434
That's kind of silly.
435
Okay, let's move on to number six, where I live, the beep is cold and snowy.
436
So we're talking about the area around you.
437
It can also be just around you or around your house.
438
It's the area in which you live is cold and snowy.
439
That's the space that surrounds you.
440
What word is that?
441
The furniture is cold and snowy.
442
Furniture can't be snowy.
443
Furniture can be cold, but not snowy.
444
The visitor is cold and snowy.
445
That doesn't make sense.
446
The environment, the environment, the space around you, like the country around you is cold and snowy.
447
Maybe you live far in the north.
448
The environment is cold and snowy, not the influence.
449
So where I live, the environment is cold and snowy.
450
Okay, let's move on to number seven.
451
All the beep in our house is made of wood.
452
So what do you have inside your house that might be made of wood?
453
and it's typically, usually made of wood.
454
Think about your bed.
455
Think about your chair.
456
Think about your table, your desk, right?
457
These things, what do we call these things?
458
Do we call them inside?
459
No. Do we call them visitors?
460
No, people are not made of wood.
461
Okay.
462
Do we call them furniture?
463
Yes, we call them furniture.
464
All the furniture in our house is made of wood.
465
Not all the beautiful.
466
Beautiful is an adjective, not a noun.
467
It doesn't fit.
468
So the best one is furniture.
469
All the furniture in our house is made of wood.
470
And that's typical.
471
Usually furniture is made of wood.
472
Number eight, my teacher beep me in a good way.
473
I work harder now.
474
So if your teacher has done something to change your behavior so that you work harder now, what did your teacher do?
475
Did your teacher visitor you?
476
That doesn't make sense grammatically.
477
Did your teacher achieves you?
478
Again, that doesn't make sense grammatically.
479
Your teacher knows you in a good way?
480
That's a little strange.
481
Your teacher influences.
482
Ah, your teacher influences me in a good way.
483
Changed my behavior in a good way.
484
Okay, so that's the answer there.
485
My teacher influences me in a good way.
486
Now I work harder.
487
So people who inspire you, people who you want to follow or copy, they may influence you to change your behavior or the way that you think.
488
Okay, well that wraps it up for the vocabulary section.
489
Let's take a short break and we'll start with the reading section soon.
490
Don't go away.

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.
