1
You give short answers and then the conversation ends.
2
You want to keep speaking like a fluent English speaker, but there's one simple trick you don't know.
3
That trick is to always explain why.
4
And in this lesson, I'll show you exactly how to do it, even if your vocabulary isn't perfect.
5
Are you ready?
6
Well then, I'm teacher Tiffany.
7
Let's jump right in.
8
Understanding the why.
9
Explaining why is essential for fluent English conversation.
10
It helps you express your thoughts clearly and keep conversations flowing naturally.
11
Now there are three reasons for the why aspect of a conversation.
12
Reason number one, it creates a natural conversation flow.
13
When you explain why you naturally extend the conversation
14
and give others something to respond to when you add the why to your conversation.
15
So let's check out an example to understand this a little bit better.
16
I want you to imagine that you're sharing your food preferences.
17
Remember, we're speaking about reason number one for the importance of the why aspect of conversations.
18
Reason being creating natural conversation flow.
19
We're speaking about sharing food preferences and you give a basic response.
20
I love Italian food.
21
That's a basic response, but why is this not effective?
22
It's not effective because this statement ends the conversation without inviting further discussion.
23
Remember we're on reason number one, the why aspect of a conversation creates the flow.
24
So with this basic response, I love Italian food.
25
There's no why, which means the conversation ends.
26
So let's see what this would look like if we add reasons.
27
So speaking again about sharing food preferences.
28
Now here's the response.
29
I love Italian food because the fresh ingredients are always high quality.
30
The cooking methods are simple, but effective.
31
And the dishes have the perfect balance of flavors.
32
You saw what I did, right?
33
I simply added why.
34
I answered the why aspect of the five W's who, what, when, where, and why, I gave three reasons.
35
Remember why is just representing the reasons for your response.
36
That's why it was a better response.
37
What about this example?
38
Example number two, if we're speaking about your career choices and let's say your basic response is
39
I want to become a teacher.
40
I personally think that's a great profession.
41
You want to become a teacher.
42
Great response. But why?
43
Is this not effective?
44
This doesn't share your motivation or passion for teaching.
45
Remember we're speaking about the why aspect of a conversation that keeps it flowing naturally.
46
So how can we change this response?
47
Here we go again, discussing career choices.
48
Now adding reasons.
49
I want to become a teacher because I love helping others learn.
50
I enjoy creating engaging lesson plans and I want to make a positive impact on students' futures.
51
I gave you the why, the reasons why I want to be a teacher.
52
And you see how that ended up leading to a fluent English response.
53
What about this example?
54
Example number three.
55
And the topic is expressing your opinions.
56
And so your response is, the movie wasn't good.
57
You're giving your opinion on the topic of movies.
58
The movie wasn't good.
59
That's my opinion.
60
Why is this not effective?
61
It's not effective though because it doesn't explain your perspective or invite discussion.
62
It doesn't explain where you're coming from nor does it invite the other person to give their point of view.
63
How can we change this with the simple trick, adding the why or the reasons.
64
Here we go.
65
Again expressing your opinion.
66
I didn't enjoy the movie because the acting was poor,
67
the storyline was confusing, and the ending made no sense.
68
Now we have a support, many supports actually for your opinion.
69
I didn't like the movie and I've given you three whys or three reasons.
70
You're catching it, right?
71
This simple trick is going to change and transform your English fluency.
72
What about our second reason for the importance of adding the why?
73
The second reason is it shows critical thinking.
74
When you add the why explaining your reasons demonstrates that you've thought deeply about your opinions and choices.
75
Again, when you're able to give reasons, you're showing that you have thought about this for a while.
76
Look at this example right here.
77
The topic, making decisions.
78
The basic response, I chose this university.
79
That is a good sentence.
80
That is a decision you made, but why is it not effective?
81
This doesn't reveal your decision-making process.
82
Now, if we add reasons or add the why, this is what the response would look like or sound like.
83
I chose this university because it has an excellent reputation for research,
84
offers generous scholarships, and is located in a vibrant city with many job opportunities.
85
Now that's a great response.
86
Why?
87
Because I added the why.
88
In other words, I gave three reasons for my idea, my opinion, my decision.
89
Makes sense, right?
90
Excellent.
91
All right.
92
Check out this next example.
93
Now we're going to speak about lifestyle choices and we have a basic response.
94
I started exercising regularly.
95
Great response.
96
I started exercising regularly, but why is this not effective?
97
This doesn't share your motivation or goals.
98
Remember, understanding the importance of adding why or adding reasons to your response.
99
Now let's see what this would sound like.
100
with reasons about lifestyle choices.
101
I started exercising regularly because it boosts my productivity at work,
102
helps me manage my anxiety and keeps me healthy.
103
What did we do?
104
We added three reasons.
105
We answered the why question.
106
Remember who, what, when, where, and why.
107
We answered that by giving three reasons and that's how we got the fluent English response.
108
What about this example?
109
Example number three, travel preferences.
110
Basic response, I prefer traveling in spring.
111
I prefer traveling in spring.
112
Why is this not effective though?
113
This doesn't explain your reasoning or preferences.
114
We don't have any understanding of why you prefer traveling in the spring until we add the reasons or answer the why.
115
Now, speaking about travel preferences, here's the response.
116
I prefer traveling in spring because flights are cheaper.
117
The temperature is perfect for sightseeing and you can enjoy seasonal events like cherry blossom festivals.
118
Now we understand.
119
Now we can add followup questions and the conversation will continue,
120
but we also understand the critical thinking behind your response.
121
You get it right?
122
Excellent.
123
Excellent.
124
All right.
125
Now, what about this reason?
126
Reason number three, explaining why it's so important to add the why to your conversation.
127
Reason number three for the importance of why is it builds deeper connections.
128
When you share your reasons,
129
you help others understand your perspective and find common ground.
130
In other words, they can connect, they can relate to what you are saying.
131
So let's say for example, we have this topic, Discussing hobbies.
132
Your response, I like playing guitar.
133
Very good, but why is this not effective?
134
It's not effective because it doesn't reveal your passion or connection to music.
135
We don't know anything else but the fact that you like guitar.
136
Now let's add reasons.
137
Here we go.
138
With the reasons, again, discussing your hobbies.
139
I like playing guitar because it helps me relax.
140
I enjoy creating my own music and it's a fun way to spend time with friends.
141
This is a simple trick, but it's very powerful.
142
Adding the why, giving three reasons after you say your opinion, after you say your thought, you're seeing how powerful this one simple trick is.
143
Example number two, speaking about your living preferences, your response, I want to live in the city.
144
Why is this not effective though?
145
It's not effective as a response to keep a conversation flowing because this doesn't explain your lifestyle preferences.
146
Remember, explaining the why, giving your reasons helps to connect.
147
So how can we give a better response than I want to live in the city?
148
Here we go.
149
Giving reasons.
150
Again, speaking about living preferences.
151
I want to live in the city because it's convenient for shopping and entertainment.
152
There are better job opportunities and public transportation is easily accessible.
153
You see what happened, right?
154
Giving three reasons your why helps to expand the response and keep the conversation going and make connections.
155
What about this example?
156
Cultural interests.
157
Basic response.
158
I'm learning Korean.
159
Oh really?
160
I'm learning Korean, but why is this not effective?
161
This doesn't share your motivation or cultural interests.
162
We need to understand more.
163
So we have to give reasons.
164
We have to answer the why.
165
Here are the reasons.
166
I'm learning Korean because I'm fascinated by Korean cinema.
167
I want to understand K-pop lyrics without translations.
168
And I plan to visit Seoul next year to experience the culture first hand.
169
Now we have some background information.
170
Now we understand why you're going to do this.
171
Now we are connected and the conversation will continue to flow.
172
Makes sense, right?
173
Excellent.
174
I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

177
This episode, this lesson was brought to you by the Speak English Like a Native membership,
178
a membership where each month I provide a brand new topic with lessons to help you master
179
that topic and to speak English fluently.
180
So go to speakenglishwithtiffany.com forward slash S E L N.
181
I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
182
Do do do do do do do do.
183
You still there?
184
You know what time it is.
185
It's story time.
186
I said it's story time.
187
All right.
188
So this story is actually connected to my dad and my time in Korea.
189
So just as a point of like to lay this out, I enjoyed my time in South Korea.
190
I was there for 10 years as a missionary and I loved it.
191
I learned so much.
192
This is where I learned that I loved teaching.
193
I learned the language.
194
I enjoyed my time in Korea.
195
However, one of the downsides of me being overseas was that I missed a lot of important events.
196
One of those events was my dad's 60th birthday party.
197
And that was a hard one for me.
198
But my sister and my mom, they organized this big celebration for my dad.
199
and what I decided to do, I wanted to create a special video for my dad.
200
And this video took me a little time to create.
201
It involved me.
202
My dad loves James Brown.
203
He loves music.
204
So I found one of James Brown songs
205
and I went to all of my students
206
and I had them kind of lip sing some of the James Brown song
207
and then I also went to another guy who was Korean
208
that did some leather work and we were friends
209
and I had him so I got many different Koreans to kind of like either lip-sync
210
or kind of dance along
211
and I created this video montage video actually it was a
212
video it was a music video I remember now of where
213
I kind of was sitting like man like what I want to do for my dad
214
or I wish I was there and then I created this music video
215
and it took me some time several hours
216
and they played the music video at my dad's 60th birthday he absolutely loved it
217
and even though I mean again I really wish I was
218
able to be there even though I wasn't there though my dad knew
219
that I was thinking about him and that I had spent time creating something for him and he loved the video.
220
When I think back on that many times, if you're not able to be there for someone in person, it doesn't mean you still can't be there for them.
221
Let me explain.
222
You and I probably have never met in person.
223
However, I'm online and you're watching me either on YouTube
224
or on Facebook or listening to me on the podcast
225
and you're getting some value from the English lessons that you're hearing or watching, right?
226
So I'm there for you even though I'm not physically with you.
227
What's the point?
228
The point is never forget that you can be there for someone even if you're not physically there for them.
229
Start thinking about ways that you can be there for people in your life, in your circle, your family members,
230
your friends, those around you, even your coworkers.
231
How can you be there for other people?
232
Even if you're not physically able to be there with them, how can you let them know that you care about them,
233
that they mean something to you, that you love them.
234
For example, even let's say you bring a coffee or a tea or a hot chocolate to somebody, leave it on their desk.
235
You can't be with them all day because you both have to work.
236
But that little, that little gift in the morning is going to carry them through the day.
237
Wow.
238
My friend really cared about me and knew that I didn't have time because I had to pick up my kids.
239
So she brought this cup of tea for me in the morning or sending a message to someone, a text message or writing them a note.
240
These little things have a long lasting impact.
241
So I hope today you take the time and take the opportunity to do something special for someone you care about.
242
Even if you can't be there with them physically, show them that you care.
243
I'll talk to you in the next lesson.

"The Trick To Sounding Fluent? Always Explain Why"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.
매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
