Hi everyone!
2
In this video, you are going to practice your English fluency.
3
Okay?
4
When I say fluency, I don't mean speaking with perfect grammar.
5
I mean speaking smoothly, with flow, and not stopping too much to think, right?
6
So, making small mistakes is absolutely fine.
7
What really matters is confidence and communication.
8
Now, this is part two of another video of my Speaking Challenge series.
9
So please watch that first.
10
It's very important.
11
And then come back here.
12
Okay.
13
All right, let's get started.
14
Right, let's start everyone.
15
I'm going to spin the wheel and we're going to see what our first topic is going to be.
16
All right, it is future goals.
17
Before we start, I forgot to say, if you are a Patreon member,
18
make sure to download the full PDF and audio files to help you.
19
You can practice shadowing and lots of other things.
20
And also for free members, there will be a free PDF as well.
21
All right, here we are, a goal for the future.
22
So, for higher level students, I want you to just talk about a future goal, okay?
23
And for maybe lower or intermediate level students, you can answer the questions.
24
And also try to use the phrases in bold.
25
So we have, let me see how I can explain this.
26
This is a good kind of starter phrase that will give you time to think, right?
27
Let me see how I can explain this.
28
Hmm.
29
Well, right.
30
In order to, that shows purpose, right?
31
The reason for doing an action, like so that or to.
32
So in order to.. imagine my goal is to lose weight.
33
In order to lose weight, I need to eat healthily and go to the gym often.
34
And then so finally is your summarising sentence.
35
In part one, I realised I didn't really go through, talk about these phrases.
36
So I will quickly, if that's okay.
37
So set a goal, right?
38
You make a goal.
39
Work towards something.
40
Again, that's you're working towards a target, an aim, a goal.
41
Achieve my dream, right?
42
Maybe your dream comes true.
43
Long-term plan.
44
Maybe that's five-year plan, 10-year plan.
45
We have long-term and short-term.
46
And make progress, right?
47
You improve.
48
Right, it's my turn first.
49
I would like you to listen and see how much you understand and maybe even practice some shadowing.
50
Okay?
51
All right.
52
Ready?
53
Let's go.
54
Let me see how I can explain this.
55
Well, I guess my goal is to continue this YouTube channel and try to grow it,
56
look after it. And eventually,
57
my long-term plan is to create an online English academy where people can learn English independently
58
and make the most out of all of these fantastic resources we have.
59
I notice that a lot of students want to study English, but they say, I don't know what to do.
60
And that's where I want to help people.
61
I want to give people structure and help so that they can learn English in a fun and effective way.
62
What steps do I need to reach that goal?
63
Well, I think I need to be consistent with uploading these videos.
64
Not get too down if a video doesn't do very well or something like that.
65
But I think if I keep working towards this goal of growing my YouTube channel, I will eventually make progress.
66
Fingers crossed.
67
So finally, yeah, that is my goal,
68
to create an online English academy where I can really make a difference in people's lives
69
and help people stop wasting time when it comes to learning English.
70
You know, I've met some people who have been learning English for seven, 10 years, and they make small progress,
71
if I'm honest with you.
72
So that's my dream.
73
All right, that was probably longer than two minutes.
74
I don't know.
75
But now it's your turn.
76
So pause the video.
77
You can choose to talk for one minute or two minutes.
78
Okay, good luck.
79
Okay, how was that for you?
80
Don't worry about making mistakes, remember?
81
Just try to get your thoughts out there and keep speaking.
82
All right, next up, let's see what we have.
83
Looks like it's going to be freedom.
84
That's a difficult one.
85
So let's take our time, do our best, and enjoy it.
86
All right, it's time for the freedom question.
87
So it's a difficult topic.
88
So maybe let's answer the question.
89
So we have, what does freedom mean to you?
90
And do you think people today are truly free?
91
Really difficult questions, but don't worry about having the perfect answer.
92
That's not what this is about, okay?
93
So let's look.
94
Actually, that's quite interesting.
95
Another really good kind of time filler.
96
It's a phrase that gives you time to think, especially at the start of an answer.
97
In my opinion, simple, easy.
98
And so finally, as the summary, quick look at some of these words, have the right to, so you're lawfully,
99
legally allowed to do something.
100
Freedom of speech, they have that in America.
101
Personal choice, basic human rights.
102
So the right means here, you know, that everyone is allowed something.
103
The basic human right to food and water and shelter, like a home.
104
Lose your freedom.
105
You don't have to use any of these if you don't want to.
106
Okay, I'm going to start.
107
This is going to be quite interesting because I haven't planned anything.
108
Ready?
109
Go.
110
Actually, that's quite interesting because I think freedom to me is the ability to make choices about my own life,
111
whether that's where I live, what I believe, or how I spend my time, as long as it doesn't hurt others.
112
But it's not just about the absence of rules, right, no rules.
113
It's more about finding a space where you can be your authentic self, right?
114
A space where you can express yourself and do the things that you love.
115
As for are we truly free, I think that's a difficult question.
116
I mean, nowadays we definitely have more rights than we did in the past, maybe my great-great-grandparents.
117
But I think we also have some new pressures, you know, like consumerism, social media,
118
and even work culture are pressures that tie us down to,
119
you know, our current lives.
120
I mean, owning a house and having what's called a mortgage is a way that also ties you down.
121
These are some good phrases.
122
So yeah, I'll just end it.
123
So finally, I think that we are free, but it's a very complicated thing.
124
But it is definitely something that we need to fight for and decide on our own what that means.
125
All right, maybe that answer wasn't the best, but again, it doesn't matter.
126
Just express yourself, say what you want, and good luck.
127
Okay, pause the video.
128
It's your turn.
129
Okay, how was that for you?
130
A little bit difficult?
131
That's okay.
132
It was difficult for me too, so well done for doing it.
133
It's time for our next one.
134
The spinning wheel is looking a bit bare at the moment.
135
I wonder what it's going to be.
136
It is a problem in my city.
137
Okay, let's go to the slides.
138
Okay, so here it is, a problem in my city.
139
The questions that you can use if you want are what problem does your city have and how does it affect people?
140
How does it change their lives in some way?
141
The three phrases I would like you to use are firstly, well, I haven't really thought about it before, but...
142
well, I haven't really thought about it before, but...
143
Again, this is a great time filler for you to practice, memorize, use it in real conversations.
144
Next is as a result.
145
And that's like saying because of.
146
A slightly more formal way of saying because of.
147
And then your summarising sentence or concluding sentence.
148
So in conclusion.
149
And here are the other phrases that you can use if you want to.
150
We have traffic congestion, right?
151
That means lots of cars on the road, right, blocked up, public transport like buses and trains,
152
air pollution, maybe there are lots of cars so the air quality isn't as good,
153
affordable housing, affordable means you can buy it,
154
it's not too expensive, and find a solution.
155
Okay, ready?
156
Well, I haven't really thought about it before.
157
But if I think about it now, there are many problems in my city.
158
But one of the most important problems or issues is the lack of affordable housing.
159
You see, house prices have increased so much in the past decade,
160
a lot more than people's average salaries, right, the money they get each year.
161
And as a result, it's nearly impossible for young people and first-time buyers to actually buy a house.
162
And I think this has had a lot of just sad,
163
dangerous, not dangerous, but lots of different kind of effects on society.
164
It means people are forced to rent, right?
165
People are forced to rent and other large companies are buying houses and renting them out.
166
So we might become a society of renters.
167
Not now, but in the future.
168
And another thing is that there is now a gap between generations
169
and also between those who own their houses and those who simply rent.
170
And I see it as a really,
171
really big problem because the price of a place to live a house is just astronomical, right?
172
It's at a ridiculous point now.
173
so in conclusion
174
that is the biggest problem I think we have in my
175
city we do have problems like traffic congestion of course
176
because there are always roadworks everywhere we go
177
but I guess that's another problem so in conclusion yes it is the house prices and I wish
178
something got done to solve this problem and to find a solution
179
and let just normal people own their houses and live a normal life.
180
That's what I would like to see.
181
Okay, that's my answer.
182
I'm actually curious what the house prices are like where you are.
183
So if you would like to type in the comments and let me know, I'd actually really appreciate that.
184
Anyway, pause the video and answer it for yourself.
185
Well, I hope that went better for you than it did me
186
because I felt I was blabbering on for far too long.
187
But that's just the activity.
188
All right, what's it going to be?
189
Red or blue?
190
Place your bets now.
191
It's going to be red.
192
Food I love or hate.
193
I like talking about food.
194
I hope you do too.
195
Okay, this should be an easy one for you all.
196
I think food as a topic is a really important topic to practice and practice well.
197
So later, making speeches and talking about your favourite food, food you don't like, your local cuisine.
198
It's a good small talk topic, you know, in a sense.
199
All right, questions.
200
What's your favorite food and why?
201
And has your taste in food changed over time?
202
I think I'll just answer those questions.
203
We have our time filler, like giving us time at the start.
204
Well, let me think about that.
205
An absolute classic time filler.
206
example.
207
You can also use for instance if you want and summary so in the end.
208
Other key phrases a big fan of.
209
I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine.
210
My go-to meal.
211
So that's a meal you might eat often and that you go to it straight away, right?
212
My go-to meal to have a sweet tooth.
213
Maybe you can imagine that means you like sweet food, sugary food.
214
I do have a sweet tooth.
215
A balanced diet, right?
216
You eat a good amount of vegetables, fruit, you know, protein, right?
217
Meat or beans.
218
All right, let's go.
219
Okay, what's your favorite food?
220
Ready?
221
Well, let me think about that.
222
If I had to choose a favourite food,
223
I think it would be something like sushi or Japanese cuisine in general.
224
But I like sushi because it's light, it's fresh.
225
There's a fair amount of variety and I like the detail.
226
I'm a perfectionist, right?
227
So I like detail in things.
228
When something is beautifully made and I just love it
229
but I like how you have the wasabi sometimes the ginger soy sauce the flavor of the rice
230
if it's done really well my first trip to Japan I ate so much sushi It was amazing.
231
But I also like other types of Japanese food.
232
But that's not to say I don't like other types of cuisine like Italian, Mediterranean, obviously Korean food.
233
I eat a lot of Korean food.
234
Maybe you're wondering why I haven't said English food.
235
I do like English food, but I guess I just prefer Japanese food.
236
As for the second question, I think my taste in food has changed over time,
237
but quite simply because I'm unable to eat spicy food at the moment, or really greasy food.
238
In the past, I would eat lots of really spicy curries,
239
maybe three times a like a Jalfrezi.
240
I like Jalfrezi, Vindaloo.
241
These are quite spicy curries in the UK.
242
Yeah.
243
Anything else?
244
Yeah.
245
And I think I have also become more conscious about what
246
I eat now i'm getting older like i try not to eat too much sugary food um
247
because i know it's really bad for me whereas in the
248
past i would eat a lot of chocolate a lot of sugary um like cakes
249
and bread and stuff like that yeah
250
so in the end it has changed over time and my favorite food at the moment is Japanese cuisine, namely sushi.
251
Okay, so I'm not very happy with my answers today,
252
but I think I should post this anyway because done is better than perfect,
253
if you remember that from another video of mine.
254
All right, pause the video, it's your turn.
255
Well, I hope that went really well for you guys.
256
I think I'm purposefully showing my answers that aren't perfect on purpose.
257
So you can also feel more comfortable, right?
258
All right, it's the last one.
259
Which one do we think it's going to be, everyone?
260
I pretty much don't need to spin this, do I?
261
Because we know it is technology.
262
All right, let's go to the slides.
263
Right, let's talk about technology.
264
Let's look at the questions first.
265
Has technology made life better or worse?
266
What technology could you not live without?
267
I think these are good questions to answer or just talk about technology for one to two minutes.
268
Phrases I would like you to use.
269
That's something I think about a lot, right, at the start of your answer.
270
at the same time.
271
So maybe you say something positive and then you want to say like on the other hand, right?
272
We can say at the same time, there are some bad things too.
273
And your summary, so overall.
274
Quickly look at some of these words.
275
Modern technology, spend time online, stay connected.
276
That means staying connected online and with friends.
277
Social media apps, right, like WhatsApp, Line, Kakao, Facebook.
278
Technology has changed our lives.
279
Okay, I will go first.
280
This is, again, just a natural answer.
281
I'm not trying to pass an IELTS test, okay?
282
I'm just trying to improve my flow, my rhythm, right?
283
And not think about making mistakes or having perfect grammar.
284
That's really important.
285
And also not translating in my head.
286
I'm just trying to speak ideas.
287
All right, ready?
288
Let's go.
289
Has technology made life better or worse?
290
That's something I think about a lot.
291
I think technology has obviously made our lives better in many ways.
292
You know, we can stay connected with our friends and family if we live far away.
293
And I think everything is more efficient now.
294
If you just think about cooking and doing the laundry, right, washing your clothes, doing work.
295
everyone uses AI now to like write emails, which is crazy to me.
296
But yeah, so it definitely has made our lives easier.
297
Maybe I shouldn't use the word better.
298
Because at the same time, I do believe people have shorter attention spans.
299
They can't focus for as long as they used to.
300
there's a lot of online addiction
301
and definitely a hundred percent a certain amount of loss of human connection i think less
302
and less people are meeting up in person you know everyone's working from home now um
303
and i think that's really dangerous and especially using ai where people are messaging to each other just using AI.
304
So even people aren't speaking to each other directly anymore.
305
And that scares me.
306
I'm not going to lie.
307
That scares me a lot.
308
So technology has changed our lives.
309
But overall, I think, well,
310
the answer is it's made it better and worse, isn't it?
311
I think it's made it better, but we need to take a step back,
312
reflect, and think about how it is changing our lives for the worse, and try to change that, right?
313
Try to connect again with people and ourselves
314
and even just being bored you know i think being bored is actually really important
315
but nowadays you can watch so many movies and tv shows and youtube channels
316
and i just think it's really important to sometimes just sit and be bored and sit with your thoughts.
317
That's maybe a strange answer and you will all say, David, you're so strange, what's wrong with you? in the comments.
318
But that's how I feel.
319
This answer was way too long, but I'm not going to record it again.
320
All right, that's my answer.
321
Now it's your turn.
322
Pause the video and just talk.
323
And you know what?
324
I would actually like you to write your answer in the comments if you can.
325
But don't use any AI.
326
Just type it with all your mistakes, the same as this speaking challenge.
327
Type your answer and don't worry about mistakes, please.
328
Right?
329
This is a fluency challenge.
330
I want to see your mistakes.
331
Okay, sorry.
332
Pause and I'll see you in a second.
333
Right, that is the end of today's lesson.
334
I do hope it was helpful for you and you practiced some of these difficult topics.
335
Remember to get the PDF if you are a Patreon member,
336
and even free members will get a free PDF to also help you answer the questions.
337
All right.
338
Oh, finally, please choose one question from today's video and answer it in the comments below.
339
I really want to read them.
340
I will reply to every single one.
341
And please don't use chat GPT.
342
Refrain from using any AI.
343
Just write it yourself.
344
This is a really important thing, everyone.
345
All right, that's it from me.
346
Thanks again.
347
I'll see you in the next video.
348
Bye bye.

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。
