1
Hi everyone, this is Anne speaking to you from Canada.
2
Today, we are going to take a look at how to practice the English way of thinking.
3
In every lecture, we practice the English way of thinking.
4
If you don't know native English speakers' way of thinking,
5
you have to translate English into your language when you hear it,
6
and then translate from your language into English when you speak it.
7
So, the English way of thinking is one of the most important skills you have to master
8
if you want to improve your English.
9
Here, we want to show you a sample regarding how to practice the English way of thinking.
10
For effective training, we selected one of the most frequent basic verbs in English.
11
It is want.
12
I will show you how native speakers use the word in their daily lives.
13
Before starting the lecture, I want to share the practice scenario.
14
1. We will show you a main idea.
15
2. We will add supporting ideas using the 6 WH questions.
16
What, who, where, when, why,
17
and how, step by step.
18
3. We will practice expressions changing the supporting ideas.
19
As always, we strongly recommend that you repeat the expressions as many times as possible in a loud voice during the lecture.
20
It might look easy, but if you don't practice using your ears and mouth,
21
you will not be able to hear and speak when you talk with native speakers.
22
The first one.
23
The main idea is, I want.
24
Okay, let's add supporting ideas.
25
I want how, really.
26
I really want and what?
27
Three slices of pizza.
28
I really want three slices of pizza and where?
29
On the plate.
30
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate and when?
31
Right now.
32
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now and for who?
33
For my son.
34
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my son and why
35
because he is hungry so the full sentence is
36
I really want three slices pizza on the plate right now for my son because he is hungry.
37
Now let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.
38
I will change the pictures of the supporting ideas and you should speak the expression in a loud voice.
39
First please say it confidently.
40
I really want a hot dog on the plate right now for my son because he is hungry.
41
Speak it right away please.
42
I really want three slices of pizza on the table right now for my son because he is hungry.
43
Third, say it loudly.
44
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate in five minutes for my son because he is hungry.
45
Fourth, please tell me right away.
46
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my daughter because she is hungry.
47
Fifth, speak it in a confident voice.
48
I really want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my son because he is starving to death.
49
Sixth, please speak to me in a loud voice.
50
I desperately want three slices of pizza on the plate right now for my son because he is hungry.
51
There are so many different expressions if you mix and match the supporting ideas.
52
And next, the main idea is he wanted.
53
adds supporting ideas to it.
54
He wanted how?
55
Just.
56
He just wanted.
57
And what?
58
To go.
59
He just wanted to go.
60
And where?
61
Home.
62
He just wanted to go home.
63
And when?
64
Early last night.
65
He just wanted to go home early last night.
66
And why?
67
Because he had homework.
68
So the full sentence is,
69
he just wanted to go home early last night because he had homework.
70
Now, let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.
71
I will change the pictures of the supporting ideas and you should speak the expression in a loud voice.
72
First, please say it confidently.
73
He just wanted to go to the dormitory early last night because he had homework.
74
Speak it right away, please.
75
He just wanted to go home around 8 p.m because he had homework.
76
Say it loudly.
77
He just wanted to drive home early last night because he had homework.
78
Please tell me right away.
79
He just wanted to go home early last night because he has a test.
80
Speak it in a confident voice.
81
All of a sudden, he wanted to go home early last night because he had homework.
82
If you mix and match the supporting ideas,
83
you can practice lots of different expressions.
84
And the last one, the main idea is, she wants.
85
Let's extend the sentence, adding the supporting ideas.
86
She wants who?
87
Me.
88
She wants me and what?
89
To tell the truth.
90
She wants me to tell the truth and how?
91
In detail.
92
She wants me to tell the truth in detail and where?
93
In the meeting.
94
She wants me to tell the truth in detail in the meeting and when?
95
Today.
96
She wants me to tell the truth in detail in the meeting today.
97
And why?
98
Because everybody should know about that.
99
So, the full sentence is,
100
She wants me to tell the truth in detail in the meeting today because everybody should know about that.
101
Let's practice the expression changing the supporting ideas.
102
First, please say it confidently.
103
She wants him to tell the truth in detail in the meeting today because everybody should know about that.
104
Second, speak it right away, please.
105
She wants me to report the facts in detail in the meeting today because everybody should know about that.
106
Third, say it loudly.
107
She wants me to tell the truth briefly in the meeting today because everybody should know about that.
108
Fourth, please tell me right away.
109

110

112
6. Please speak to me in a loud voice.
113

114
Many people might know how to think like native speakers,
115
but there are few people who know how to practice effectively.
116
We will teach you every day in our lecture and plan to make the lectures to train you
117
the English way of thinking intensively using most frequent verbs in English.

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.
