1
Okay, welcome to the POV mini-stories,
2
point of view mini-stories for the long time affair lesson.
3
Same story, different versions.
4
Let's start.
5
First we go to the past.
6
Ten years ago.
7
Ten years ago there was a very small man named Jim.
8
Jim was only one foot tall.
9
Even though Jim was 48 years old,
10
people always perceived him as a child.
11
In the eyes of the public,
12
Jim was just a cute little boy.
13
Jim hated this.
14
He said, I want people to accept me as I really am.
15
I want them to give me unconditional respect.
16
I don't want people to go on treating me like a child.
17
So Jim went to the gym and exercised every day.
18
He became very strong.
19
He also learned kickboxing.
20
One day a tall man saw him,
21
laughed and said, you're such a cute little man.
22
Jim got angry.
23
He yelled and said, I'm gonna kick your ass.
24
He kicked the man.
25
They started to fight.
26
The fight lasted for 20 hours.
27
men's hands and legs became intertwined and they fell down.
28
Jim finally broke free from the man.
29
Then he jumped up and kicked the man in the head.
30
Jim won the fight and he yelled,
31
no matter how you slice it,
32
I just kicked your ass.
33
All right.
34
That's our past version.
35
Now let's move to the perfect version we call it I guess.
36
Here we go.
37
Since.
38
Since last year.
39
Since last year.
40
Okay.
41
There's a very small man named Jim.
42
Jim is only one foot tall.
43
Even though Jim is 48 years old,
44
people have always perceived him as a child.
45
In the eyes of the public,
46
Jim has always been just a cute little boy.
47
Jim has always hated this,
48
but since last year, he has become very upset.
49
Every day he has said,
50
I want people to accept me as I really am.
51
I want them to give me unconditional respect.
52
I don't want people to go on treating me as a child.
53
And so, since last year,
54
Jim has gone to the gym and has exercised every day.
55
He has become very strong.
56
He has also learned kickboxing.
57
Well, one day, a tall big man saw him and laughed and said,
58
You're such a cute little man.
59
Jim got angry.
60
He yelled and he kicked the man.
61
They started to fight.
62
The fight lasted for 20 hours.
63
The men's hands and legs became intertwined and they fell down.
64
Jim finally broke away from the man.
65
Then he jumped up and kicked him in the head.
66
Jim won the fight and he yelled,
67
no matter how you slice it I just kicked your ass
68
alright in that version you notice
69
that we use the we call it the present perfect it
70
doesn't matter you don't need to know the name of the grammar
71
but we use that form that have gone have been form
72
because it's something that has continued through the past for a while started in the past kept going for a while
73
for example people People have always perceived him as a child.
74
That's been happening for a long time,
75
starting when he was young until now.
76
People continue to perceive him,
77
have continued to perceive him as a child, right?
78
It started in the past and it kept going for a while.
79
And then again we talked about going to the gym.
80
Since last year, Jim has gone to the gym.
81
He has exercised every day,
82
right, starting last year up until now.
83
And then finally we changed to the past tense because we're talking about one specific event,
84
the fight, right.
85
That happened in the past.
86
It's over.
87
It was just a short event in the past,
88
started, finished in the past.
89
It's done.
90
It's not a long time period.
91
It's very short and complete.
92
So we use the simple pass for that.
93
It's all you need to know about grammar.
94
Don't think too much about the grammar.
95
All right, on to version number three, into the future.
96
Okay, this is, we can imagine this is my idea for a movie and I'm telling you the story.
97
What I think should happen,
98
what I think will happen in this movie.
99
Here's my movie idea in the future.
100
Ten years from now.
101
Ten years from now, there will be a very small man named Jim.
102
Jim will only be one foot tall.
103
Even though he'll only be 48 years old,
104
people will think he's a child.
105
People will perceive him as a child.
106
In the eyes of the public,
107
Jim will be a cute little boy only.
108
Jim will hate this.
109
He's going to say, I want people to accept me as I really am.
110
I want them to give me unconditional respect.
111
I don't want people to go on treating me like a child.
112
Jim will go to the gym and exercise every day.
113
He'll become very strong.
114
He'll also learn kickboxing.
115
One day a tall man's gonna challenge him and laugh and say,
116
you're such a cute little man.
117
Jim will get angry.
118
He'll yell and he'll kick the man.
119
They'll start fighting.
120
The fight is gonna last 20 hours.
121
The men's hands and legs will become intertwined and they'll fall down.
122
Jim will finally break away from the man and then he'll jump up and kick him in the head.
123
Jim will win the fight and he'll yell,
124
no matter how you slice it,
125
I just kicked your ass.
126
Okay, the simp, the future is fairly simple.
127
It's pretty easy.
128
Uh, you guys have learned going to and will.
129
However, in normal speech we do not say going to and will.
130
We change the pronunciation we say all instead of will we
131
say all jimmel jimmel the manl the manl challenge him jimmel
132
fight him we don't say jim will we say jimmel jimmel we just add the all sound to the subject
133
and the other thing we do instead of going to we
134
say gonna jim's gonna get angry not jim is going to get angry jim's gonna jim's zz Z-z-z,
135
you need the z sound there.
136
Jim's gonna equals Jim is going to.
137
Jim's gonna.
138
Alright, and that's how we actually use the future in normal speech.
139
So when you hear gonna,
140
when you hear all, that means the future.
141
Okay, please go back, listen to each section.
142
Pause and try to tell that version yourself.
143
Try to tell the story using the past, 10 years ago.
144
Try it again with since last year.
145
And then try it again in the future.
146
If you have trouble, if it's difficult, relax.
147
This takes time.
148
Just relax.
149
Go back.
150
Listen again.
151
Go back.
152
Listen again.
153
Listen.
154
Listen.
155
Listen very carefully.
156
Hear how the verbs change.
157
Hear how the vocabulary changes sometimes.
158
Listen carefully.
159
That's the most important part.
160
Don't get upset if you can't tell the story yourself.
161
It's okay.
162
That will take time.
163
Listening is the most important part.
164
All right.
165
I will see you next time.
166
Go on and listen to the commentary.
167
Bye-bye.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: unconditional /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənəl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: unconditional /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənəl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, commentary /ˈkɑ.mənˌtɛ.ɹi/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: perceive /pɚˈsiv/, verb /vɝb/, pause /pɔːz/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
