6
So today I'm gonna talk about complaining.
7
This might seem like a strange topic, but I think it's very relevant because most people complain about many things in their lives.
8
Specifically in this video, I want to talk about some of the different things that people complain about often.
9
The first complaint that I'm going to talk about is the weather.
10
Depending on where you live, this might be a common complaint.
11
In the US, when people make small talk, they tend to talk about the weather.
12
They might comment on how nice the weather is that day, or they might talk about how terrible the weather is.
13
It's very easy to connect with another person when complaining about the weather because it's an easy topic to talk about.
14
I think this is a big reason why people like to complain about this topic.
15
It helps you start conversations.
16
I sometimes complain when it's raining, especially on the weekend.
17
I love going outside and enjoying the outdoors.
18
So it's disappointing for me when I can't do this.
19
I know I shouldn't complain about things I can't control, but I do this sometimes.
20
Another thing that people love to complain about is traffic.
21
This is one of the worst parts about living in a big city.
22
Nowadays, many people work from home, but if you work in an office, you probably have to commute to work five days a week.
23
The verb "to commute" means to travel to and from some place regularly.
24
If you commute to work in the morning and commute back home in the evening, you probably do this during rush hour.
25
This is the time during the day when there are more cars on the road.
26
If you live in a crowded city, you'll definitely hear people complain about the traffic during rush hour.
27
I know some people that spend two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening in traffic.
28
It's hard not to complain in this situation.
29
I hate being stuck in traffic and I definitely complain about this sometimes.
30
Alright, another thing that people complain about is rising prices.
31
It seems like every year life gets more and more expensive.
32
For example, in the past, houses and apartments were much cheaper than they are now.
33
For many young adults, buying a house seems impossible nowadays.
34
I hear people complain about this all the time.
35
It also seems like gas prices keep getting higher and higher.
36
It's funny because Americans complain about this a lot, but actually gas is much more expensive in other countries.
37
Still, we Americans like to complain about this.
38
Okay, I saved the worst one for last.
39
In my opinion, the thing I complain about the most is the government.
40
Of course, everyone complains about corrupt politicians and terrible presidents,
41
but what annoys me the most is the horrible experience you have when you use government services.
42
I can't tell you how many times I've been disappointed with government services.
43
Just in the last month, I've had at least three bad experiences with the government.
44
Unfortunately, this is completely normal.
45
Almost every time I use a government service, there are errors with their website,
46
their workers are rude, and it takes them a long time to do their job.
47
And of course, the quality of their work and their institutions is terrible.
48
For example, almost all of the students I talk to tell me that the government hospitals in their countries are not good.
49
Overall, governments don't offer high quality services.
50
I'm sure many of you complain about government services too.
51
Alright, now I'm going to ask you some questions about today's video to see if you understood.
52
Number one: What's the most common topic of small talk?
53
Number two: What does the verb "commute" mean?
54
And number three: What's one thing that seems to get more expensive all the time?

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
