Do you need a hand?
2
If I asked this to you, would your heart start beating?
3
Would your palms start sweating?
4
Would you know what to say?
5
Well, never fear.
6
Today, I'm going to help you reply to this question and many others.
7
Today, you are going to practice speaking with me about your house.
8
Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.
9
And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet with all of today's important questions,
10
answers, vocabulary, sample conversations, and ideas to help you level up your English speaking skills.
11
You can click on the link in the description to download this free PDF worksheet today.
12
It is my gift to you.
13
All right.
14
Are you ready to get started talking about your house?
15
The first category is questions and answers about chores.
16
Look at this pronunciation.
17
Chores.
18
Chores.
19
Make sure you pronounce this correctly.
20
And it means things that you need to do to take care of your house and your home.
21
So let's start with some of these questions and answers and level up your speaking skills.
22
Do you need a hand?
23
Remember this question I asked you not too long ago?
24
Well, what can you reply to this question with?
25
You can say, oh, no, thanks.
26
I'll be finished soon.
27
Do you need a hand?
28
That means, can I help you?
29
If you're doing some difficult chore, someone kind might ask you, do you need a hand?
30
Or you can ask, can you give me a hand with this?
31
Let's say you're picking up something that's really heavy because you're trying to move it across the room.
32
You need to ask for some help or ask for a hand.
33
Could you give me a hand with this?
34
And hopefully the other person will say, sure, I'll help you.
35
A common chore question is, do you mind taking out the trash?
36
Do you mind doing the dishes?
37
Do you mind folding this laundry?
38
It's asking, please, I need some help.
39
There are so many chores to do.
40
Do you mind doing one of these chores for me?
41
And hopefully the other person will say, yes, it's no problem.
42
A similar question is, Can you help me tidy up?
43
Can you help me fold this laundry?
44
Can you help me take out the trash?
45
And hopefully the other person will say, sure, I would love to.
46
If not though, they might say, oh no, I'm really busy.
47
I'm sorry.
48
Hopefully they don't say that, but it's possible.
49
If you live with other people, especially if you live with kids, it's important that everyone participates in the chores and taking care of the house.
50
So someone might ask you this question, are your kids old enough to help with chores?
51
And if you're like me, you might say they are, and they love helping.
52
In fact, my kids' favorite weekend day is deep cleaning day.
53
They take a wet rag and just wipe everything, every corner, every chair, and they love it.
54
Of course, we don't always love doing chores.
55
So you might need to reply to this question.
56
What's your least favorite chore?
57
Well, you might say, I hate doing the dishes.
58
I get so wet.
59
There's dirty food.
60
I hate doing the dishes.
61
All right.
62
Our next category are questions and answers related to your neighborhood.
63
Because your house is not just the things you do to take care of it, the chores, It's also the location.
64
And we often ask questions about the location or condition of your house.
65
So let's talk about some of these common small talk and conversation questions about where you live.
66
If you see someone in your neighborhood who you've never met before, you might ask this question, have you lived here long?
67
Have you lived here long?
68
And they might say, oh, I'm new to the the neighborhood.
69
I just moved here from New York City.
70
This could be an answer that you give.
71
If you move to the US and someone doesn't recognize you and they say, oh, have you lived here long?
72
You can use this answer.
73
I just moved here.
74
I moved here from Italy.
75
I moved here from Japan.
76
Great answer.
77
Now, the next question is an essential question that you know the answer to if you move to an English speaking country, because if someone asks, have you been here long?
78
They will follow it up most likely with this second question.
79
What made you choose to move here?
80
Or what made you decide to move here?
81
They're basically asking you, why are you here?
82
Why here and not anywhere else in the world?
83
So you need to have an answer for, why did you decide to move to this neighborhood?
84
And you might say, I got a remote job that let me live anywhere in the world.
85
And I've always dreamed of living in the US and this seems like a nice place.
86
Now, if you've just moved to a new neighborhood, you might want to ask that other person some questions about the place that you just moved.
87
So you can ask them, what's the best thing about this neighborhood?
88
This is a great question.
89
You might learn about a hidden coffee shop or a great little park to go to.
90
They might say this, I love that every Saturday there's free concerts in the park.
91
You should come.
92
Wouldn't Wouldn't that be great?
93
You'd have an instant friend.
94
And another question you could ask when you move to a neighborhood is, are there any other neighborhoods that I should check out?
95
Maybe other cute walking areas or places to kind of get to know the local culture.
96
And they might say, oh yeah, there's a neighborhood north of town that's great to walk through.
97
And you're getting some recommendations about things that you should do in your new town.
98
Now when you move to a new place, especially if you own it, you're probably going to have to do some renovations,
99
even if it's just decorating the house in your own style.
100
And when someone comes over to your house, hopefully they will comment on what a wonderful job you've done.
101
So you might hear something like this.
102
I love what you've done with the place.
103
Did you do it by yourself?
104
When they say what you've done with the place, that's talking about either renovations or decorations.
105
Wow, this old apartment used to look so dark and dreary, but your decorations, what you've done with the place just looks so nice.
106
Did you do this by yourself?
107
And you might say, yeah, I love fixing up places.
108
Cool.
109
And to follow up that, your friend might say, wow, that's impressive.
110
Was it a lot of work?
111
And if you have really fixed your home, especially if you've had to do some major renovations, you can use this great expression.
112
Yes, this house was a fixer upper, but I loved redecorating it and renovating it.
113
A fixer upper means it's a house that has a good foundation.
114
It's a nice house, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done to make it livable.
115
Maybe the doorways are so small and the walls are all
116
old and just need a new coat of paint and you need to maybe open up some spaces.
117
This house is a fixer upper, but you know what?
118
It's probably less expensive and it means that you get to design it in the way that you like.
119
All right.
120
Now that we've been through some great questions
121
and answers related to chores inside the house and the neighborhood that your house is in, it's time to start speaking.
122
But first, you're going to listen to a sample conversation between my husband, Dan, and I.
123
We're going to be using the same questions and answers that you just learned in a little sample conversation.
124
I want you to listen for all of those key questions and answers and be preparing yourself because after the sample conversation, it will be your turn to speak with me.
125
All right, let's watch the sample conversation.
126
Hey, Dan, what are you working on?
127
Hey, I'm just finishing up some renovations on the house.
128
I love what you've done with the place.
129
Have you done everything by yourself?
130
Yes, I did.
131
I replaced the flooring and I renovated the kitchen.
132
It's been a lot of work, but it's been worth it.
133
Yeah, looks great.
134
What made you decide to move to this neighborhood?
135
Well, I really like the old homes in this neighborhood and the neighbors seem really nice.
136
Oh, that's true.
137
Do you need a hand?
138
Yeah, I do.
139
Can you help me tidy up?
140
No problem.
141
Welcome to the neighborhood.
142
Thanks, neighbor.
143
All right.
144
How did you enjoy that sample conversation?
145
Now it is your turn to speak.
146
I'm going to be asking you some questions and then pausing.
147
During that pause, I want you to speak out loud and answer the question.
148
And because I have magical teacher ears, I will be able to hear you around the world, no matter where you are.
149
So make sure that you're speaking out loud
150
and you're welcome to go back and repeat this segment of the video as many times as you want.
151
You can even pause it if you need more time to be able to speak or think about your answer.
152
So are you ready to speak with me?
153
Let's do it.
154
Hey, I haven't seen you before.
155
Have you lived here long?
156
What made you decide to move here?
157
So what do you think is the best part about living in this neighborhood so far?
158
Well, it was really great to meet you.
159
I wanted to let you know that there are free concerts in the park every Saturday.
160
I'm going this weekend.
161
Would you like to join me?

このレッスンについて
「Speak With Me: English Speaking Practice」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
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。
