ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Advanced Expressions (C2) to Build Your Vocabulary

Hey everyone, I have a great lesson for you today because we are going to talk about some common expressions.

And I think these are a little more advanced expressions that you can use in a variety of situations.

Now, I'm going to tell you how these expressions are used as well as

when they are used and try to explain the situation.

Because when you think of these expressions, I don't want you to look at the individual words.

I want you to think about it as a whole.

I think that if you're able to try and learn these expressions as one chunk, as a single piece of information,

then it'll be a little easier to comprehend,

to understand, and you'll be able to use it correctly when you find yourself in a situation where these expressions are relevant.

So I am going to tell you the expression.

I'll give you the meaning.

I will tell you and explain some of the situations in

which I think you may use these expressions or you may hear somebody else use them.

And then I may throw in a few video clips here

and there to help reinforce that information so that you have a better understanding.

The first expression is having said that.

So this is a transitional phrase, which means that you are using it to transition from one idea to the next.

And in this case, you are transitioning basically to an opposing view.

You are going to say something contradictory to what was just said.

And this this phrase, I think, is often found at the beginning of a sentence.

And I think it's becoming more and more common in spoken English.

Now, let me give you an example so you know what I mean

when I say that you are trying to disagree or you're basically contrasting information that was just said.

Maybe I am talking to you and I'm saying this great stuff about you.

And then I want to say the opposite.

So I'd say, oh, you are amazing.

You're very smart.

You're very hardworking.

and then I'd say having said that and then I would say the opposite of everything I just said.

Often I think it's used in a context in which you are maybe you have to give somebody bad news

but before you give them the bad news you want to say some good things about them.

So let me give you an example, hopefully make this a little easier to understand.

Let's say that you are applying for a job and,

you know, unfortunately you don't get the job and I am going to tell you this, but before I tell you, I might try to say some things that are,

that are nice about you, that are great because I don't want to just be mean and say, you know, you didn't get the job, get out of here.

So I might say something like, okay, you are obviously very passionate about what you do.

You're hardworking.

You seem like you're a responsible person.

Having said that, I contacted your previous employers and they said you were stealing from the company, so you're not going to get the job.

I hope that example makes it a little easier to follow.

Having said all of that stuff before, let me tell you what the opposite is.

And it can go both ways.

It's not just about delivering bad news.

It can be used in a positive sense.

So, for example, maybe you say a lot of bad and negative things to begin with.

And then you say, having said that, and then you say the positive things.

I can't be your hero anymore.

Okay.

Sure.

Having said all that, I still would like to get together on Tuesdays for bowling and alternating Sundays for general horseplay.

Recognize that Google is not a conventional workplace.

Having said that, we have rules.

I'm over it completely.

Having said that, it's so hard to move on.

The next expression, and this is one of my favorites, is wishful thinking.

And if somebody says wishful thinking,

then it means that some other person is imagining a future event that is rather unlikely,

but they, they just wish that that is the way things were.

And you could say, look, you know, that's wishful thinking.

And often I think it's used as that statement right there.

And you hear somebody talking about some situation that is unlikely, but that's what they want to happen.

And then you could say, look, you know, that's wishful thinking.

you know, that's just wishful thinking.

It's not going to happen.

For example, if somebody were to say,

okay, I want to learn Portuguese and I am going to start studying Portuguese

and I am going to be fluent in Portuguese by the end of the week.

Give me seven days and I will achieve fluency.

And then you would look at me and say, okay, that's wishful thinking.

It is an unlikely event.

It is an unlikely future.

It's probably not going to happen, but that's wishful thinking.

You are just hopeful.

You are optimistic that something will happen.

Anyway, can't raise a kid here.

Where would you even put her?

How do you know it's a she?

Wishful thinking, I guess.

I just hope you found someplace where you could find a little piece.

A place set in the cedars and oak trees.

But that's probably wishful thinking.

Then we have to take something for granted.

And this means, I think this is a very common expression.

And what it means is that you don't fully appreciate something because you just,

you come to assume that it will always be there and it will always be available.

You could also use it when talking about a person to take someone for granted

and it means the same thing that you don't fully appreciate this person

because you just assume that they will always be there for you.

Let me give you an example.

Imagine you have a car and you drive it every day.

You go to work, you go shopping, you go to the grocery store and and you use it quite often.

And then the car breaks down and now you have to change your routine

and you have to take a bus or you have to walk.

It takes a lot more time.

It then becomes a reminder how much easier things were with the car, that you could do things much faster.

And you might think to yourself, wow, I was starting to take it for granted.

I completely forgot

that it's a It's a lot more challenging to have to take a bus to all of these places

and you didn't realize it until it was gone, until it was no longer available to take something for granted or to take someone for granted.

100

Sure, but philosophy is about questioning things that you take for granted.

101

Stop complaining.

102

New York is the greatest city in the world.

103

No, it's rude, obnoxious and dirty.

104

You take this place for granted.

105

Most of us here were born in America.

106

We take this country for granted.

107

Not immigrants like Apu.

108

Then we have another expression, which I guess you could say it is also one of my favorite expressions because I use it all the time.

109

And that is keep that in mind.

110

You're telling somebody, you know, hey, keep that in mind.

111

And what it means is that that this person should be aware of something or maybe that.

112

Yeah, they should acknowledge that that something exists.

113

So you may find this expression at the end of a person's comment.

114

They tell you what they want you to be aware of, and then just as a reminder, say, look, keep that in mind.

115

Or maybe they use it at the beginning of a statement and say something like, look, I want you to keep this in mind.

116

And then proceed to tell you what they want you to be aware of.

117

Listen for it with me.

118

I think I say that quite often because I'm teaching you these words and phrases.

119

and sometimes they can be used in different ways.

120

And I want you to be aware of that.

121

And I would just tell you, look, I want you to keep that in mind.

122

So now that I've told you that, try to listen for it.

123

I think it's a great expression, especially when you are giving instructions.

124

Because as a teacher, I'm constantly talking to learners

125

and trying to explain the difference between things and really help them understand a little bit better.

126

So I would often try to remind them to be aware of something

127

and say keep that in mind So when you are giving instructions,

128

I think that is a common way in which this expression is used The Volturi don't give second chances

129

Keep that in mind The world ain't what it seems is a gunny No,

130

sir You keep that in mind The next expression is be that as it may

131

This is another expression that is often used at the beginning of a sentence, and it's a little more formal as well.

132

And what it means is that you use this expression

133

when you want to say that you believe some information that you have been given, that you think it is true,

134

but it does not change your opinion about some topic or some situation.

135

So let me give you an example.

136

And I'm trying to think of something that would be a more formal setting,

137

maybe a courtroom with the judge and the judge is deciding that,

138

that somebody is guilty and they're trying to determine should they give a,

139

a very strict punishment or should they give a very light punishment?

140

And the person is trying to say, well, Hey, here are some facts.

141

Here's some information to show you that I'm a good person, even though I did something wrong.

142

And when the judge is talking to this individual, the judge may say that information and they may say,

143

look, yeah, you have been very helpful in your community.

144

You have shown that you can be an honest and trustworthy individual, you've been a good friend to others,

145

be that as it may, you have still broken the law and you must be punished for that.

146

So once again, you are basically reaffirming that it doesn't matter what information or facts that you get,

147

it's not going to change your opinion about this topic or this situation.

148

And remember, it is a bit more formal and somebody is trying to say, look, I am not going to change my opinion,

149

even though I believe all of this other information.

150

Be that as it may, I'm not going to change my opinion.

151

All I can tell you is that I'm a different person now.

152

Oh, great.

153

I don't care.

154

Be that as it may, I know I don't deserve your mercy or your forgiveness.

155

Well, I see it.

156

I'm owed.

157

Be that as it may.

158

Recon is not yours to sell anymore.

159

I am not out of control.

160

That is it me.

161

I must request that for the time being you allow the city to handle its own emergency.

162

Then we have the expression around the clock.

163

So in this case, it's talking about something that is continuous,

164

that it is lasting, especially lasting 24 hours that it is around the clock all day, every day.

165

And this expression, I think it's often used before words like open,

166

like, you know, we're open around the clock or, uh, words like available.

167

Uh, you know, I'm available around the clock.

168

You can call me anytime.

169

My phone is always on any time of the day around the clock.

170

Efforts continue around the clock.

171

I'm working around the clock.

172

You've been working around the clock.

173

You can call me Nikki.

174

It will be a pleasure to serve you.

175

I'm available to you around the clock.

176

Just let me know.

177

Next is the expression to toss around the idea, or you could say to toss around some ideas.

178

And this, it's almost, it's a form of brainstorming that you are just thinking about new ideas or new possibilities,

179

usually with, with another person or often with a group of people as well.

180

If there is a group of individuals and you have to think of something, you have to come up with some new ideas.

181

You might tell the group, you know, let's, let's toss around some ideas.

182

Let's get some ideas out there and then we'll make a decision.

183

This expression I think is used a little more informally

184

when you are talking maybe with your colleagues or friends in order to make a great decision.

185

We need to come up with many different ideas.

186

So let's toss around some ideas.

187

So you want to, you want to go over it and toss some ideas around?

188

No. That's okay.

189

That means I'm going to go to my book editor, Melissa, and toss around some book ideas and go home, soaking a tub, drink a glass of wine.

190

The next expression, and I think this one is a bit more challenging, and sometimes it may even be used incorrectly, is in and of itself.

191

And what this means is that you are considering something alone that is apart from everything else.

192

So you're referring to something that is being considered alone.

193

Now I will say that some people, they may think this expression is a little outdated.

194

It's a little old fashioned.

195

I think that this is definitely a more of an advanced expression.

196

You may not hear it as often, but when you do just realize that it's referring to something that is being considered alone.

197

Let me give you an example to help you better understand how it's used.

198

So I might say that a sentence like this, the rainy weather in and of itself was not the cause of the traffic jam.

199

So there could be many causes for this traffic jam, the rainy weather.

200

It could be one of them.

201

It's not the only one.

202

It could be part of this.

203

So what I said in that sentence, I said the rainy weather in and of itself when it's considered alone, which means that is the only thing

204

that you are thinking of is the rainy weather was not the cause of the traffic jam.

205

Something else you should know about this expression is that it would often be found in the middle of the sentence.

206

That it's going to be separated by two different commas.

207

So you're going to say something in and of itself

208

and then finish the sentence that is reverse sexism which is in

209

and of itself a sexist thing to do summoning the brethren court

210

that's a sad commentary in and of itself my cousin violated his parole

211

which in and of itself isn't good news

212

but we're gonna get his van until he gets out i did not say stuart i said stalwart

213

Which in and of itself would be weird enough.

214

Next is the expression, low and behold.

215

And when somebody uses low and behold, they are telling someone something surprising that happened.

216

This expression often follows the word and I think also

217

that it's quite common that you would use this when you're telling a story.

218

You're telling somebody a story and talking about some events that happened, and then you want to reveal something surprising all of a sudden, lo and behold.

219

For example, if somebody said, wow, I looked in the drawer and lo and behold, I found my wallet.

220

So if you just hear that sentence, I looked in the drawer and lo and behold, I found my wallet.

221

What other information is that telling you?

222

If you just hear that sentence, what it tells me, you're saying, and lo and behold, I found my wallet.

223

It was a surprise, which tells us that this person, they were looking for their wallet.

224

Maybe they were looking all over the place.

225

They could not find their wallet.

226

And they were surprised when they found it in the drawer.

227

When you use these expressions, and sometimes they help give a little more information as to the situation and what's happening.

228

I looked in the drawer, and lo and behold, I found my wallet.

229

Is there any way that I could have any less respect for you two geniuses?

230

I would have said, no, no, that's not possible.

231

But lo and behold, you went and pulled it off.

232

Congratulations.

233

No one would have predicted the results of the election that year.

234

No one.

235

Not long after the election, lo and behold, a miracle.

236

Some believed it was the work of God himself.

237

Next is the expression in hindsight.

238

So this expression means that a person has gained understanding about a situation

239

or event after it has already happened or perhaps after it has developed.

240

And you would often find this expression at the beginning of a sentence.

241

Somebody might say, well, you know, in hindsight and then talk about what should have happened,

242

maybe how they would have changed the past because now they have a better understanding of what was going on.

243

For example, you could say, well, in hindsight, I should have told the truth.

244

I never should have lied about it.

245

In hindsight, I should have told the truth.

246

Or in hindsight, I should have left hours before.

247

There was no reason for me to stay at the party and stay out really late and not get any sleep.

248

In hindsight, I should have left.

249

Charles and I blame ourselves.

250

In hindsight, we weren't ready.

251

Please don't interrupt.

252

You know I hate that.

253

In hindsight, I probably could not have picked a worse way to be honest with Mary Elizabeth.

254

They'll never know.

255

In hindsight, one of us should have brought a camera.

256

You seem pretty hell-bent on severing ties.

257

Yeah, in hindsight, they might have been a bit dramatic.

258

Well, it's a little late to take it back.

259

So again, I think it really helps to just learn these expressions as one chunk

260

and learn their meaning so that it gives you a better understanding as to how and when it's used.

261

Now, having said that, if you are somebody who likes, oh, I need to really know each and every individual word, then I think that's okay.

262

But really try to view these expressions as a single chunk with a single meaning.

263

because what I really don't want, I don't want you to take these expressions for granted because you will hear them from time to time.

264

And now that you understand their meaning, I hope that you can go out and use them.

265

And I know it can be difficult.

266

I know it can be challenging, but I think you guys, you can do it.

267

You're just gonna study around the clock.

268

And the more you study them, the more you practice them, you're just gonna start speaking.

269

And lo and behold, you're just gonna start using these expressions naturally and easily, and that's going to help you improve your overall fluency.

270

And I thought I'd just try and give you a little bit of review

271

while at the same time giving you an inspirational message.

272

All right.

273

Just, you know, I always want to encourage you to learn, practice, and continue building your vocabulary.

274

Keep that in mind.

275

All right.

276

That is it.

277

I hope you enjoyed learning some of these advanced expressions, and I will see you next time.
