Hello lovely students and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
Today I've got a really useful video for you full of English that I personally use every day.
3
Now you're going to learn around 19 phrases that I
4
and a lot of other people who speak English use on a daily basis.
5
Before we get started I want to remind you that I've made a beautiful free pdf to go with this video.
6
It It contains all of the vocabulary, phonetic transcriptions to help with your pronunciation, extra examples, and a quiz at the end to test your understanding.
7
If you'd like to download that, just click on the link in the description box, enter your name and your email address, you sign up to my mailing list,
8
and the PDF will arrive directly in your inbox.
9
After that, you will automatically receive all of my free weekly lesson PDFs, plus my news, course updates, and offers.
10
It's a free service and you can unsubscribe at any time.
11
Okay, let's get started with our phrases.
12
While I like to imagine that I have a huge vocabulary
13
and I use all kinds of interesting and beautiful phrases every day,
14
the truth is that I repeat myself quite often from one day to the next.
15
I cling onto words like a magnet and I use them again and again and again until people say, can you stop saying that please?
16
Like most of you, I spend most days doing similar activities, working, eating, hanging out with friends, hanging out with my pets actually.
17
And I have a bank of phrases that I use every day without even thinking about them.
18
And that's what I want to give you in this lesson, my bank.
19
And I'm not talking about my money, I'm talking about my personal vocabulary bank.
20
Learn these phrases and you'll be able to get through a lot of the day in an English speaking environment,
21
without having to think too hard about what you're saying.
22
And that's what we want in life, to not think too hard.
23
I'm going to start with some general phrases that I say anytime and any place.
24
Number one, what a shame.
25
What a shame, what a shame.
26
This is such a great response to something negative or unfortunate that happens or someone tells you about.
27
It's better to use it for small inconveniences like our favorite restaurant is booked up on our anniversary, what a shame.
28
Or Jean can't come tonight, she's busy, what a shame.
29
Don't use this when someone tells you that their pet died or something more serious happened.
30
I don't feel it's strong enough for that.
31
Number two, I haven't got a clue.
32
I haven't a clue, I haven't got a clue.
33
This phrase means I really don't know.
34
Now, I wouldn't recommend using this phrase with your boss or
35
when something is very important because it can seem a bit too casual, like you don't care that you don't know.
36
I haven't a clue.
37
I haven't got a clue.
38
We normally use got with haven't.
39
I haven't got a pen.
40
I haven't got time.
41
But in this phrase, sometimes we go a bit more old fashioned and say, I haven't a clue.
42
I use I haven't got a clue with friends or family.
43
Do you know where the binoculars are?
44
I haven't got a clue, sorry.
45
Okay, number three, I use this all the time, to cut a long story short, to cut a long story short.
46
I really do need to work on making my long stories shorter.
47
I have the habit of starting a story with a lot of enthusiasm, especially in front of a group of people.
48
And then I just, I lose the plot.
49
It doesn't go anywhere.
50
I don't finish it, I just trail off.
51
To cut a long story short, We use this phrase to say, I'm going to tell you the main point of the story.
52
I'll cut out all the extras.
53
I'm going to make this long story shorter by just telling you the essential information.
54
We often say this when we realize that we've been waffling on for a
55
while and we need to get to the point.
56
To waffle, or here I used it in a phrasal verb, to waffle on, is to talk for a long time,
57
without saying anything really of value or anything really interesting.
58
Sorry, I've been waffling on for hours.
59
I've been waffling for hours.
60
You add the preposition on to turn waffle into a phrasal verb and it just adds emphasis, implies that this is an ongoing action.
61
I actually can't believe I've been waffling on about the phrase to waffle and to waffle on.
62
That is just so explanatory.
63
Let's go back to cut a long story short.
64
Sometimes we preface this phrase with anyway, which is another word I use about 150 times a day.
65
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am sorry if I go on a bit, I just get really excited by words and phrases.
66
I want you to know them all.
67
Let's go to number four, which is make up your mind.
68
Make up your mind.
69
This is the last general one, and it means decide or make a decision.
70
We tend to use this phrase when we're a bit frustrated because someone can't or won't decide.
71
I say it to my dog Diego when he's standing in the doorway wondering whether to go outside or not,
72
letting in lots of cold air and lots of leaves.
73
Make up your mind, Diego, make a decision.
74
Okay, so those are my general phrases.
75
Now I'm going to move through my work day from morning to evening, so let's get cracking.
76
Let's get on with it.
77
I'm starting in the morning, but I only have three phrases to put here because I don't talk a lot in the morning.
78
However, if I am saying anything at 7 a.m., these are the ones I'd use.
79
Mind if I grab the last.
80
Mind if I'd grab the last.
81
Mind if I grab the last piece of toast, bagel, teabag?
82
This is a way to ask if you can eat or use or take the last of something.
83
It's a question I ask my husband or he asks me several times a day.
84
Notice how we omit do you from the beginning of the question.
85
This is called ellipsis and it's really common in informal questions.
86
Mind if I grab the last.
87
Number six, I use this a lot.
88
I've got to dash or just for short, gotta dash, gotta dash.
89
This means I have to leave quickly, normally because I'm late.
90
You can use it at any time of the day, but I often say it in the mornings because that's usually when I'm in a hurry.
91
Number seven, another similar one, let's get a move on or let's get going.
92
This is a phrase we often say when we really want to leave or we need to leave with someone else.
93
It means come on, we need to go.
94
Let's get going, let's get a move on.
95
It's quite colloquial, quite casual, informal, and it's not rude.
96
but it also isn't polite.
97
I feel annoyed when Will says it to me.
98
If he says let's get a move on, he's implying that I'm being slow or I'm going to be late and I know, I know I'm slow, I know I'm going to be late, you don't have to tell me.
99
Because of that, use it with your friends and family, but don't use it with your boss.
100
Let's move on to some things that I say every day during my work day.
101
Let's get cracking.
102
I said that one at the beginning, do you remember?
103
It means let's begin.
104
I love using this phrase because it's more interesting than just saying, let's start, let's get cracking.
105
Let's get on with it.
106
Number nine, I really do say this a lot.
107
I've got back to back meetings today.
108
Back to back meetings.
109
If I'm not filming a video, which is my favorite part of the job, I'm probably in a meeting.
110
And because Will and I work from home and work together and our entire team is remote, I have a lot of Zoom meetings.
111
If my meetings are back to back, it means I have one meeting after another with no breaks.
112
You could use it with any task you need to do one after another.
113
Back to back presentations, back to back classes, back to back filming.
114
Maybe you've got back to back social occasions over the holiday period.
115
Number 10, I'm up to my ears.
116
I'm up to my ears.
117
And this one is related to the previous phrase.
118
It means I'm very busy.
119
I'm up to my ears is short for I'm up to my ears in work.
120
I might use it in texts.
121
If someone invites me out, I'll say, I'm so sorry, I can't come out tonight.
122
I'm up to my ears.
123
Number 11, I'm going to power through.
124
I'm going to power through.
125
This is a phrase I say when I'm going to work until I have finished.
126
We often say this when we're tired or if the task is particularly difficult.
127
You can also say power on through.
128
Now I absolutely love filming and making videos, but I have a six video limit.
129
You know that I post one YouTube video a week, but I've been working really hard behind the scenes to film a lot of videos for my courses.
130
And when I get to that sixth video, because after then my tongue doesn't work properly,
131
but I don't realise, so I waste a lot of time filming videos that cannot be used and have to be refilmed.
132
When I get to that sixth video, I tell myself, I just need to power through this one and then I can take a break.
133
Number 12 is give me a minute.
134
Give me a minute.
135
When someone needs me, I often want to finish what I'm working on.
136
And when I'm speaking quickly, give me becomes gimme.
137
Gimme a minute, I'm just finishing something.
138
I don't know about you, but I find it quite hard to focus at the best of times.
139
So if someone takes my focus away, It takes me another 20 minutes to get focused again.
140
So sometimes I'm trying to hold on to my focus and say, give me a minute, give me a minute, I'm just focusing on something, I'll get to you afterwards.
141
Number 13, I need to clear my head, I need to clear my head.
142
I use this phrase to say that I need to take a break or do a different activity for a while, usually because I'm feeling stressed or confused.
143
If I've had back-to-back meetings or filming, I often need a bit of fresh air to clear my head.
144
And number 14, the final daytime phrase, I could do with a little pick me up.
145
I could do with a little pick me up.
146
I use this once a day, normally at around 4 p.m.
147
Can you relate?
148
Super healthy all day, nourishing meals.
149
And then at 4 p.m.
150
I'm like, I need chocolate or crisps.
151
I don't mind which, I just need something.
152
I really have to fight those 4 p.m cravings.
153
Often at 4 p.m.
154
I have a little energy dip.
155
I'm sure it's something biological.
156
It's probably a dip in blood sugar or something.
157
And I need a little pick me up to boost my energy, a drink or a snack.
158
I often have some coffee or a cereal bar in the afternoon.
159
In American English, people often say I could use a little pick me up.
160
Let's move on to the evening.
161
At last, the day is coming to an end.
162
Here are some things I say every evening.
163
15, I'm just wrapping up for the day.
164
This one means I'm finishing my work or finishing my tasks for the day,
165
wrapping everything up, making sure everything is finished so I can leave work and not think about work anymore.
166
16, next round's on me, next round's on me.
167
When I lived in London, it was very common to go for after work drinks at the pub.
168
This phrase means I will buy the next set of drinks for our group.
169
I've talked a bit about rounds before in my videos.
170
It's very common in the UK,
171
Ireland, Australia, and some other English-speaking countries for people in a group to take turns buying drinks for everyone.
172
So if you're in a group of four, you buy the first round of four drinks, then the next person buys the second round, and so on and so on.
173
Be careful when you get into a round of drinks with a big group of people
174
because you might end up buying eight drinks and maybe even drinking eight drinks, which is not a good idea and I don't encourage that.
175
I also said on me.
176
The next round's on me.
177
That means I'm buying it.
178
This one's on me.
179
I'm paying for this one.
180
Dinner's on us.
181
We're paying for dinner.
182
Number 17, peckish.
183
I'm a bit peckish after the pub or at dinner time.
184
We need to eat something.
185
This means I'm hungry, not super hungry.
186
I don't want a full meal, but I could eat.
187
I could eat.
188
My husband always says that.
189
When I'm distributing the food I have cooked for our evening meal together.
190
I say, how hungry are you?
191
Wanting to know how much food do I put on your plate?
192
And he always says, I could eat.
193
I'm like, well, that doesn't give me any indication as to how much food I should put on your plate.
194
I'm sorry, you don't need to know this.
195
Let's move on to number 18, fancy a nightcap.
196
I always fancy a nightcap, but I try not to have nightcaps.
197
This one is about alcohol.
198
It means, do you want one last drink before you go to bed?
199
It's usually alcohol, but it can actually refer to any drink, hot cocoa, tea, herbal tea.
200
They could all be nightcaps, but most English speakers will think
201
that you're offering them an alcoholic drink like a whiskey or a brandy or something like that.
202
And number 19, the last one, I'm going to turn in.
203
I'm gonna turn in, going to informal contraction, gonna.
204
This phrase means I'm going to bed.
205
And that's exactly how I end my day.
206
Actually, I have a bonus phrase for you because it slipped my mind.
207
No, that's it.
208
That's the phrase.
209
It slipped my mind.
210
This means I forgot, but it's a nicer, softer way of saying it.
211
I'm so sorry about forgetting your birthday.
212
It totally slipped my mind or it slipped my mind to post that letter yesterday.
213
It means I really wanted to, I tried to remember, but it just disappeared from my mind.
214
It wasn't my fault.
215
I say this all the time, all day, every day.
216
Just got a lot going on.
217
Anyway, it really is time to wrap up this video.
218
I really hope you've enjoyed it.

この動画で目指すスピーキングの目標
日常会話で自然に使えるフレーズを覚え、「考えないで話せる」流暢さを手に入れることが目標です。英語圏での一日を過ごすのに必要な基本表現をマスターすれば、IELTS スピーキング対策や一般的な英語スピーキング練習にも大きな力がつきます。特に「shadowspeak」や「shadow speak」の練習に最適なフレーズが満載で、シャドーイングを通してリズムと発音を身につけられます。
毎日使えるフレーズバンク
- What a shame：小さな不運や不便な出来事に対する反応。「お気に入りのレストランが満席だった」「友達が来られない」などの場合に使います。深刻な出来事には向きません。
- I haven't got a clue：「全くわからない」という意味。友達や家族との会話で使うカジュアルな表現。上司との話し合いや重要な場面では避けたほうがいいです。
- To cut a long story short：長い話を簡潔にまとめるときに使うフレーズ。「話が長くなってしまうので、要約すると」というニュアンスです。
弱点を直すポイント
この動画は発音とリズムの改善に役立ちます。特に「What a shame」の「shame」の発音（/ʃeɪm/）や「I haven't got a clue」のリズム（弱く発音する部分があります）を注意深く聞き、shadowing siteを使って繰り返し練習しましょう。また、フレーズの使い分け（カジュアルな場面 vs フォーマルな場面）も重要で、使う場面を間違えないようにしましょう。これらのポイントを抑えれば、自然な会話ができるようになります。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了進行形 have/has been + -ing — 以前に始まり今も続いている動作 | we've been waffling · I've been waffling · I've been working |
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | I've made · have finished · I've had |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | people who speak · anyway, which is · four, which is |
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | is booked · is called · be refilmed |
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
