1
I wish I had a best friend for just one day.
2
Why one day?
3
I don't know.
4
It's just like, one day would be enough.
5
Some people have best friends for years, maybe their whole life.
6
And I've never had a best friend.
7
I've had friends, and, you know, maybe not in a while, but I've had friends.
8
But I've never had a best friend.
9
And I don't really know what that feels like.
10
I think I've had something close to it.
11
I'm not sure if it was quite there in completion or like fully, but I think I had something close to it.
12
And if I just had a best friend for one day, just to know what it felt like to have that, I don't know.
13
I feel like it would be great.
14
But I remember in second grade, you know, I had a friend from second grade through fifth grade, all throughout elementary school.
15
We were friends, you know, we played football together.
16
We did all this stuff.
17
I mean, we didn't hang out outside of school, I guess because it was just elementary school.
18
But, you know, we were in the same class every single year from second grade to fifth grade.
19
And it was incredible, you know, because it's like we followed each other around in some sense.
20
We were always playing the same games.
21
We always sat at the lunch table together.
22
You know, if there was a project, we tried to do a project together.
23
It was so fun.
24
And it felt really great to have that companionship, to have that sort of connection.
25
And we were just kids.
26
So like, how deep can it be, right?
27
But maybe because we were kids, that's why it was so good, because it wasn't superficial.
28
It wasn't based off of anything that was, you know, performance or like any sort of social dynamics.
29
It was just because we liked the same stuff and we enjoyed being with each other.
30
And I haven't had that in a while.
31
There's been people that I've met that I really clicked with.
32
You know, I really was like, man, this person's so cool.
33
They're so great, but I was only with them for so long.
34
You know, like I've met a lot of people at like summer camps and stuff, but you only know people for a few weeks and then they're gone from your life.
35
Probably for good.
36
You know?
37
And it's not that those relationships or those, I guess, like getting to know that person was a waste.
38
It's just that it was fleeting.
39
And there wasn't time to let that relationship grow enough where you felt this like deeper connection.
40
And that's what I really want.
41
I want, I just want to feel that, you know, because here's the thing, it takes, it takes years I guess for someone to become a best friend like you consider them a best friend
42
but like I just want to have that feeling for one day where it like you know I guess like that culmination, that trust, whatever it is because I don't know how to describe it
43
because I've never had it but it would be nice for just one day
44
and the thing is I watched this video it's like something
45
about like proximity like the proximity you are to the people you're friends with
46
that it's like what greatly determines how that relationship will go
47
because if you're if you don't see someone physically like physically see them then like
48
that relationship it it dies off and it's it becomes you know weaker and weaker
49
because like there's people you know like I try to stay in contact with people you know you text them
50
but like sometimes you know you don't reply back
51
or they have a busy life
52
or whatever it's just like you don't see them anymore
53
so it's not it's not the same dynamic online as it
54
is in person it's completely different you know interacting with someone and you miss that so I guess really I
55
I miss having friends.
56
I miss having people, you know, you could text or you can call up, hey, you want to hang out?
57
You want to go do something?
58
You know?
59
Or you want to just meet up and do nothing?
60
You know, you don't even have to do anything.
61
It's just that you're together. But I miss that.
62
I miss that a lot.
63
And I think, I think there's friendship out there for me somewhere.
64
I don't know where or when, but there's obviously been a big gap between, you know, having friends and not having friends.
65
And I just, I want to get to know someone on a deep level.
66
You know, I work best one-on-one when I can be real with someone and they're being real with me. because
67
when you're with someone one-on-one it's like there is no there's no need to perform there's no pressure to perform
68
because it's just you and them it's like hey it's me
69
and you let's just be real and that is the best thing
70
that is like the best thing and
71
and that's like what i realized is that's where i get to know people the best
72
when i talk to someone and it's just me and you you know
73
like we're here together and we can just be free with each other
74
and that is probably it's got to be one of like the most peak experiences in life where you have
75
that with someone.
76
Because life is like this thing where like we all feel alone.
77
We all feel lost.
78
We all feel like we don't know what to do.
79
But if you have someone, it's not like those feelings go away.
80
But it's like you're with them on that.
81
You have that alignment where you both equally are clueless.
82
But that's okay because you have each other.
83
So It's It's just weird It's weird to think about because
84
I haven't had friends in a while So I don't really remember what it's like To like Just like
85
Have that dynamic with someone And It's so fun
86
Like I think back And I think man
87
It was so great to have people around me that you could just be with.
88
It's like, you know, this guy's my friend.
89
We're cool.
90
We're, you know, we're together and we're connected.
91
And, you know, we can rely on each other.
92
It's so great.
93
It's a beautiful thing.
94
It really is.
95
And that is what I seek.
96
I hope to find that very soon.
97
And maybe I have found it.
98
But that physical, that like physical meeting, being in physical presence with someone else,
99
that is the most important thing.
100
That is like the height of it.
101
Because you can know someone, you know, online or whatever, and you can really get to know someone.
102
And that's great.
103
But there's always this yearning or this want to be with that person in person.
104
You know, it's just like with the people, you know, I've met before, but then, you know, we're apart.
105
And then you talk to them on the phone or texting, but it's just not the same.
106
It's not the same as seeing them face to face and knowing them in that way.
107
And there's no way to, like, make up for it or, like, reconcile it.
108
It's just a matter of like, you know, you meet these people, then they leave your life, and that's just it.
109
And it's fine.
110
It's just how it works sometimes.
111
But for me, I guess I'm a bit tired of it.
112
I don't want to just keep meeting people and then know them for a few weeks, and then we go back to strangers.
113
You know?
114
It's just, it's not a waste, but it feels so...
115
It hurts in some way.
116
Because you get to know someone you really like hanging out with them. And talking to them.
117
And then it's all over.
118
And maybe like the short amount of time is what makes it worth it or something like that. But like...
119
I wonder, what would it be like if like...
120
There's someone I met and then...
121
There wasn't that separation.
122
There wasn't that like...
123
That big distance or something.
124
And, you know, I could see them.
125
Maybe, like, you know, every day or whatever.
126
But it's just like, it just makes you think.
127
But one day, one day, I'll have a friend.
128
Maybe multiple friends.
129
I don't know if I have a best friend.
130
I don't really know what defines a best friend.
131
Some people say they have multiple best friends.
132
Some people say they have just one best friend that they've had for the rest of their whole life.
133
And some people, you know, their best friends change all the time. So I don't know.
134
I feel like for me I'm, I guess I'm a little bit more strict on like what constitutes a friend.
135
And then especially what would make a best friend.
136
But I guess to me a best friend would be someone that I feel like,
137
you know what, I don't have to be anything in particular.
138
I'm just like existing and that's enough to be their friend, right?
139
It's enough to just talk.
140
It's enough to not talk And it's just the fact that we know each other on some deeper level
141
On some aligned level That we require nothing of each other to some extent Yet we also may require everything
142
Like we still push each other, we still want more out of each other Yet,
143
it's not because we wouldn't be friends with them if they weren't It's because we just, we want each other to be better And that would be,
144
that'd be the greatest thing Where, you know, you're both, you hold each other accountable And you make each other better And even,
145
maybe we even love each other,
146
you know But, um, yeah We'll see because I'm sure I'm sure there's many friendships to be made
147
for the rest of my life and I just wonder I wonder I wonder what it's going to look like
Почему стоит практиковать разговор на основе этого видео?
Практика разговорной речи с использованием этого видео не только укрепляет навыки общения, но и позволяет глубже понять эмоциональную сторону языка. Говорящий делится своим опытом о том, что значит иметь лучшего друга, и это создает удобный контекст для изучения нюансов общения. Вы сможете ощутить, как важно устанавливать связи с людьми, и это поможет вам не только в языке, но и в жизни.
Во время просмотра вы можете обратить внимание на различные способы выражения чувств, а также использовать shadow speech, чтобы улучшить произношение английского. Каждый раз, когда вы повторяете фразы, вы не только оттачиваете произношение, но и учитесь выражать свои мысли. Наличие контекста, как в этом видео, помогает легче запоминать новые слова и фразы.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В этом видео говорящий использует несколько ключевых структур, которые могут быть полезны для обучения английскому:
- I wish I had – это структура для выражения сожалений о том, чего у вас нет.
- It takes years – здесь показывается, как долго длится процесс формирования дружбы; это пример применения Present Simple.
- I remember in second grade – использование времени Past Simple, чтобы говорить о прошлом опыте.
- If you don't see someone – типичный пример условного наклонения, который полезно знать для более сложных конструкций.
Эти конструкции помогут вам формировать более сложные мысли и лучше выражать свои эмоции. Используйте видео, чтобы учить английский с YouTube, и интегрируйте эти выражения в свою разговорную практику.
Распространенные ловушки произношения
Ваше произношение может улучшиться, если вы будете осторожны с некоторыми словами и акцентами в этом видео:
- Best friend – обратите внимание на сочетание звуков, это может быть трудно для произношения. Практикуйте несколько раз.
- Companionship – это длинное слово, которое требует четкого ударения. Пробуйте повторять его вslow motion, чтобы уяснить структуру.
- Proximity – это слово может вызвать затруднения; акцентируйте внимание на первом слоге.
Используйте техники shadowing, чтобы улучшить произношение английского, повторяя за говорящим. Это поможет вам не только понять, как правильно произносить слова, но и развить уверенность в использовании языка.
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.
