1
Hey there!
2
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.
3
Today's speaking practice is about taking a position or choosing a clear side about a topic or a problem.
4
It is a really useful skill to develop
5
because it will help you to introduce your opinion
6
or your attitude about something and then share reasons why it's important to you.
7
You'll notice that in this practice, some of my language will be a bit stronger than you're used to.
8
There is lots of emotion behind my words.
9
This is something that I care about passionately and I want to make sure the person I'm talking to knows it.

12
In this practice today, I want you to pay attention to the phrases that I use to introduce new ideas.
13
They're highlighted in the script on screen and I've also made a worksheet to explain those phrases for you.
14
How to use them with some other examples so that you can use them to practice formulating your own ideas.

16
This speaking practice will follow the mmm English imitation technique.
17
Three steps.
18
First you'll listen, then repeat after me and then finally you'll shadow me.
19
Ready to dive in?
20
Let's do it!
21
In step one, just listen.
22
Listen for new words.
23
Listen to the tone of my voice.
24
Have you ever noticed how our feeds are full of these clothing haul videos lately?
25
People ripping open parcel after parcel, trying everything on and deciding whether or not to keep it?
26
I mean, it's fun to watch, I get it.
27
But have you ever stopped and thought about where it all ends up?
28
I don't know about you but my wardrobe is pretty small.
29
I'd rather buy one good piece than five cheap ones because I want things that last,
30
not stuff that I'm tossing out in a month.
31
That's what gets me about these holes.
32
People clearing out their wardrobes every season to make room for the next drop.
33
And I keep thinking, where does all this stuff go?
34
The old stuff.
35
Landfill, that's where it goes.
36
And it's not just the sheer amount of clothing that's the problem, it's what it's made of.
37
So much of it is cheap synthetic fabric, basically plastic.
38
And that stuff doesn't break down for hundreds of years.
39
And it's not just clothes either.
40
I cannot look at acrylic nails without thinking the same thing.
41
They get filed down and snapped off and thrown out every few weeks.
42
Look, having a cute wardrobe is great.
43
but quietly wrecking the planet to keep up with the trend?
44
I'm not okay with that.
45
Hey, guess what?
46
This month inside the Hey Lady English speaking community,
47
we're learning about and building fluency around this topic, around fast fashion.
48
So if you're interested in conversations like this and if you want to practise articulating your thoughts and your opinions about fashion,
49
come and join us!
50
Build your English skills, make new friends and have fun while you're practising English.
51
You can start your seven -day free trial using the link down in the description below.
52
Now in step two, repeat after me.
53
You'll hear me say the line and then there'll be a pause after so you can copy me exactly as you hear.

79
I'm not okay with that.
80
Now try to shadow me, speak along with me following the rhythm and the intonation of my voice.

99
I'm not okay with that. So how was that?
100
I would love to hear your thoughts.
101
Do you agree or do you disagree with my opinion about this topic?
102
I also want to know what is something that you feel passionate about?
103
Something that you would talk about with passion and vigour because it's something that you really believe in.
104
Tell me about that down in the comments.
105
What would you stand on a street corner and tell people if you had the opportunity.

Сценарий: Переговоры о быстрой моде

В видео представлен реальный разговор, где нужно отстоять свою позицию по актуальной теме — влиянию быстрой моды на планету. Это отличная возможность научиться выражать эмоции, аргументировать мнения и привлекать внимание к важным вопросам. Подобные ситуации встречаются в повседневной жизни: от обсуждений с друзьями до презентаций, поэтому практика здесь особенно полезна.

Полезные фразы и словосочетания

Запомните эти естественные выражения, чтобы звучать убедительно:

  • "That's what gets me about..." — "Вот что меня беспокоит в...". Используйте, чтобы подчеркнуть важность проблемы.
  • "I'm not okay with that" — "Я с этим не согласен(а)". Явно выражает недовольство или противодействие.
  • "Quietly wrecking the planet" — "Тихо разрушаем планету". Метaphoricalное выражение для описания скрытого вреда.
  • "Keep up with the trend" — "Следовать тренду". Удобное словосочетание о модных тенденциях.
  • "Articulating your thoughts" — "Четко выражать свои мысли". Ключевая навык для убедительных речей.

Ваше задание: Shadowing-упражнение

Чтобы улучшить произношение английского и поток речи, попробуйте shadowing (теньевую практику). Сделайте это сейчас: включите видео, послушайте фрагмент разговора (например, от "Have you ever noticed..." до "I'm not okay with that"), затем сразу повторите его за спикером, копируя интонацию и темп. Проведите 5–7 повторений. Это поможет развить чувство ритма и естественности речи. Если вы ищете больше ресурсов, используйте shadowing site или приложения для shadow speak — они помогут структурировать тренировки. Помните: shadowing английский — один из самых эффективных способов улучшить речевые навыки!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
