Практика Shadowing: How to Explain Complex Accounting Problems to Anyone! - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Создание урока...
1
Do you remember the last time you had to explain a complex accounting problem to someone?
2
And then after about five seconds of trying to explain, you get lost.
3
The person you're speaking to gets lost.
4
You know I don't speak Spanish.
5
In English, please.
6
And then it just turns into a mess.
7
In today's class, I'm going to give you a five step process to be
8
able to explain complex accounting problems in a simple way so that everyone will understand.
9
If you've been following the channel for a while, you know that I love structures and frameworks to help students communicate more efficiently.
10
And in today's class, I'm going to give you one more.
11
Generally when we have a problem, our first instinct is to try and share it with someone.
12
We get really excited.
13
Sometimes we get a little bit panicky.
14
and in our rush to explain what the problem is We actually give them all the details, but we don't tell them what the actual problem is.
15
I was watching this great interview the other day with Simon Sinek, and he was saying that when you're explaining something complex, You need to make it so simple
16
that it's repeatable because if it's repeatable it's understandable
17
and that's what your goal should be
18
when you're trying to explain a complex accounting problem make it so simple and concise
19
that the person listening can repeat it back to you.
20
And that's exactly what our five step process aims to achieve.
21
Okay, so let's look at the first step.
22
What's the issue?
23
We want to give one sentence that describes what the problem is.
24
We want to prepare the listeners brain for the information that they're about to receive.
25
So let's imagine it's a revenue recognition problem.
26
If I was speaking to a finance person, they'll know what revenue recognition means.
27
But if I'm talking to a non -finance person, they would have no idea what I'm talking about in most cases.
28
So I want to be very careful with the words I choose.
29
So I would say something like, we discovered
30
that the revenue on one of our contracts was recorded in
31
the wrong month you notice here the word i used was recorded
32
because that's a word everyone's going to know step number two is what is the specific issue
33
and what is the impact on the business.
34
So I could say the revenue was recorded before the service was delivered
35
and this caused our Q2 revenue to be overstated by $50 ,000.
36
Here, over -stated means that the number was too high.
37
If you want the opposite of that, you can say, understated.
38
If I was speaking to someone outside of finance, I'd probably give them an extra sentence, just something that explains how this problem is going to affect their area.
39
So for example, if I was speaking to someone in sales, I would say that means that the commissions we calculated in Q2 were incorrect
40
or if I was speaking to someone in commercial, I might say that Our rebates have been calculated incorrectly or our revenue share was wrong in Q2.
41
So we'll need to fix it.
42
Just before I forget, there is a free PDF download of this class with all the vocabulary and structures.
43
as well as some other complex accounting problems.
44
The link to that PDF is in the description of this video.
45
Step three is what is the cause?
46
So I could say, We used the contract date instead of the delivery date.
47
Step 4 is: How do we prevent it happening again?
48
So you can say, we have set up a 30 minute training session with a data entry team to do a review of the input procedure.
49
- And the last step is how do we fix it?
50
What's the solution?
51
so i would say we have corrected the overstatement in q2 and moved the revenue into Q3.
52
If I put everything together, it should now look like this.
53
We discovered that the revenue on one of our contracts was recorded in the wrong month.
54
The revenue was recorded before the service was delivered and this caused our Q2 revenue to be overstated by $50 ,000.
55
The issue occurred because we used the contract date instead of the delivery date.
56
We've set up a 30 minute training session with the data entry team to do a review of the data input procedure.
57
We've corrected the overstatement and moved the amount to Q3.
58
You notice here with the example, I keep the language very simple and easy to understand.
59
Thank you.
60
I worked with a CFO once and he said, "You don't win any awards for using more words." And that's a problem I see with English learners.
61
Their focus is on trying to show off, to use the most sophisticated words,
62
But your focus should be trying to get your message across in the most efficient way using the least amount of words.
63
The last piece of advice I would give you is always prepare
64
and practice a few times before you go and speak to someone.
65
Remember, keep it simple if the person wants more details they'll ask you
66
if you like today's class let me know in the comment section below remember
67
that there is a free pdf of everything we learned and you can find that in the description of this video

О этом уроке

В этом уроке вы научитесь объяснять сложные бухгалтерские проблемы простым языком, используя структурированный подход. Практика разговорного английского здесь сосредоточена на ясности, конкретике и адаптации речи к аудитории. Вы узнаете, как формулировать мысли по шагам, чтобы слушатель мог легко повторить информацию — это ключевой навык для эффективного общения в профессиональной сфере.

Основной вокабуляр и фразы

  • Revenue recognition — распознавание дохода (бухгалтерский термин, но важно уметь объяснить его простыми словами).
  • Overstated — завышенный (например, "Q2 revenue was overstated" — доход за второй квартал был завышен).
  • Understated — заниженный (противоположность overstated).
  • Prevent it happening again — предотвратить повторение (важная фраза для обсуждения решений).
  • Fix it — исправить (простое слово для обозначения решения проблемы).

Советы для практики

Чтобы улучшить разговорный английский, используйте технику shadowing (или "теньевого повторения"). В видео речь идет с умеренной скоростью, что идеально для начинающих. Сначала прослушайте фрагмент длиной 5-10 секунд, затем сразу повторите его, копируя интонацию и темп. Обратите внимание на паузы между шагами — они помогут вам структурировать свою речь. Для тренировки фраз, связанных с объяснением проблем, повторяйте предложения с overstated и understated, чтобы освоить их правильное использование. Помните, что shadow speak — это не просто повторение, а имитация живого общения, поэтому старайтесь передавать эмоциональную окраску речи. Регулярная практика (3-5 раз в неделю) с этим видео поможет вам стать увереннее в объяснении сложных тем.

Не забывайте, что shadowspeaks — это эффективный метод, который развивает как восприятие, так и произношение. Используйте структуру из видео (5 шагов) для создания собственных примеров — это поможет закрепить материал и улучшить навык адаптации речи к разным слушателям.

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

КонструкцияВ видео
Условные предложения if + предложение, will/would + глагол — условие и его результатif the person wants more details they'll ask
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делаетwas recorded · be overstated · have been calculated
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчасhave been calculated · have set · have corrected

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.
