Hello everybody and welcome back to GSL English.
2
My name is Gideon and today we are going to be practicing our listening, speaking and pronunciation skills.
3
Firstly, let me explain how this video lesson is going to work.
4
Now, the topic of today's lesson is artificial intelligence.
5
So that is what we are going to talk about.
6
There are three parts to this lesson.
7
Firstly, I want you to listen and read along as I Secondly,
8
you are going to listen and then repeat after me.
9
And thirdly, we are going to speak at the same time.
10
And once we have completed our listening and speaking exercises, I'm going to be breaking down some of the vocabulary.
11
So make sure you stay to the end.
12
Here are some tips to make the most of this video lesson.
13
Firstly, listen carefully to my pronunciation.
14
I want you to listen and repeat the way that all of those words are connected together.
15
Secondly, what I want you to do is repeat this exercise as many times as you can over the next week.
16
Because improving our speaking and pronunciation is more than just saying words.
17
It has to do with muscle memory.
18
English.
19
So the more we repeat this exercise, the more we do it, the more our mouth gets used to it.
20
And thirdly, try recording yourself.
21
Listen to your pronunciation back, compare it with mine, and then you can see how you need to improve.
22
Okay, so part one, I want you to listen and read along
23
and also focus on how I connect words together to sound fluent.
24
So when it comes to using artificial intelligence in our everyday lives, opinions tend to vary quite a bit.
25
Some people are all for it, thinking it's a fantastic thing, while others have their reservations.
26
Those who are in favour of AI Siri and Alexa with us everywhere we go.
27
And of course on a larger scale we have advancements in healthcare and transportation.
28
On the other hand, many have their concerns as well, one of which being safety and security.
29
AI is constantly collecting data and personal information.
30
Some worry that this information could eventually be misused.
31
Ethical issues also come into play.
32
All in all, opinions on AI in everyday life are pretty mixed.
33
Some people love the convenience, while others have concerns about privacy, job security and ethics.
34
and go through the whole text in one sitting and if you need to you can repeat it.

53
Now we time.
54
So just try and follow along with me and let's see how it goes.
55

66
Okay, so you did really well with that exercise and I hope you enjoyed it.
67
Now we can sit back, relax and just look at some of the vocabulary we used in this lesson.
68
So we use this sentence, opinions tend to vary quite a bit.
69
What does tend mean?
70
opinions are regularly or frequently different when talking about artificial intelligence.
71
Okay, the next word we are going to look at is in this sentence: "Those who are in favor of AI".
72
But what does "favor" mean?
73
Well, basically it means that you approve or support something.
74
So in this instance, those in favor of AI means that they support it, they like it to succeed.
75
We also use this great expression on the other hand.
76
And basically, we use this expression to introduce a contrasting statement.
77
So in this case, we started off talking about those that are in favour of AI.
78
And then we said, on the other hand,
79
to introduce the thoughts of those When something is being misused,
80
it is not being used in an appropriate way or the way that it was intended to be used.
81
So, for example, in this instance, talking about artificial intelligence, collecting data and information,
82
some worry that that information is going to be used in a way that is not appropriate or right.
83
And then we ended with this brilliant expression, all in all.
84
all of your thoughts together to summarize what you have been speaking about and then conclude the discussion,
85
the video or even the essay that you are writing.
86
All in all, a great concluding comment.

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.
