1
I know our lives are so busy.
2
We've got work, we've got family responsibilities and all the rest.
3
But every time before you go grocery shopping,
4
I want you to spend 10 minutes doing the Clark Method to save big money.
5
We first interviewed Starla Bailey about food prices in 2022.
6
She was living in an apartment with her son after selling her previous home and looking to downsize.
7
The pandemic sidelined those plans.
8
Since then, life overall has been really well.
9
We've since moved.
10
We've bought a new home.
11
Bailey says she feels fortunate to be able to afford a home despite higher interest rates and home prices.
12
However, one place she's had to be more flexible is at the checkout.
13
Years ago, I could choose my grocery store that I absolutely loved and and take care of all of my needs there,
14
but there's changes now.
15
Those changes directly affect your wallet.
16
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
17
since January of 2020, just before the pandemic,
18
to January of 26, milk has gone up over 26%,
19
bread 36%, and chicken is up almost 45%.
20
I'm searching in the circulars for the items that are buy one, get one free.
21
I love supermarket circulars.
22
Using those flyers can help you save before stepping out the door by using a reverse shopping list.
23
Find the items on sale and plan your meals around the discounts.
24
And if you don't have the paper copies,
25
the Flip app has them all in one place.
26
Another key to saving at the store?
27
I'm definitely switching to items that are not necessarily the big name brands.
28
That has been able to save us some money.
29
When you compare the store brand versus the name brand,
30
the savings can be huge.
31
Walmart store brand whole milk was listed at $2.76 a gallon.
32
Name brand, $4.57.
33
Store brand bread, $1.42 a loaf.
34
Name brand, $2.47 and chicken store brand $2.57 a pound while the brand was $3.42 a pound.
35
That's $6 of savings if you shop for the store brand on just three items.
36
It's more about what it is that is on sale and what benefits us financially.
37
And where you shop can make a huge difference.
38
Using Walmart as a baseline,
39
Consumer Reports found that your typical grocery store can cost you a little under 10 or more than 10% more on average.
40
And shopping at the warehouse clubs,
41
get this, can save you over 20% more on average.
42
Just make sure to check the expiration dates on anything you buy in bulk,
43
giving you plenty of time to use it.
44
I've seen our grocery bill almost cut in half.
45
It definitely helps to feed that money back into your budget
46
and to be able to really see where your efforts are paying off.
47
All righty.
48
Groceries can be so expensive.
49
Life is so expensive right now.
50
The more you can think through every bit of spending you do,
51
the more money you'll keep in your wallet.
52
It becomes a habit.
53
Try to make it one in your life.
54
I'm Clark Howard.
55
Thank you.

Bu videoda gölgeleme çalışması için 55 cümle ve 504 kelime var. Konuşma bölümü 3:34 sürüyor. Konuşmacı dakikada yaklaşık 141 kelimelik dengeli bir hızla konuşuyor; gölgeleme için rahat bir tempo. Kelimelerin %85’i İngilizcede en sık kullanılan 3.000 kelime arasında; geri kalanına başlamadan önce bakmakta fayda var.

Bu videodaki önemli kelimeler

Videodaki en ileri düzey 9 kelime, telaffuzu ve anlamıyla:

KelimeTelaffuzAnlam
circular sıfat/ˈsɜɹ.kjə.ləɹ/dairesel
wallet isim/ˈwɑl.ət/cüzdan, portföy
checkout isim/ˈt͡ʃɛkˌaʊt/kasa
gallon isim/ˈɡælən/galon
supermarket isim/ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/süpermarket
fortunate sıfat/ˈfɔɹ.t͡ʃə.nɪt/kutlu, uğurlu
warehouse isim/ˈwɛə(ɹ)haʊs/antrepo, depo
flexible sıfat/ˈflɛk.sɪ.bəl/esnek, bükülgen
bulk isim/bʌlk/cüsse, hacim

Dikkat edilecek telaffuzlar

Konuşmacı we've, I'm, don't gibi kısaltılmış biçimleri 10 kez kullanıyor. Bunları duyduğunuz gibi kısa söyleyin.

  • Uzun kelimeler — vurguyu doğru yere koyun: expiration /ˌɛk.spɚˈeɪ̯.ʃən/, supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/

Türkçe konuşanların zorlandığı sesler:

  • /w/ — dudaklar yuvarlak, /v/ değil: wallet /ˈwɑl.ət/, warehouse /ˈwɛə(ɹ)haʊs/
  • Kelime başındaki ünsüz kümesi — araya ünlü eklemeyin: grocery /ˈɡɹəʊ.s(ə.)ɹi/, flyer /ˈflaɪə(ɹ)/, groceries /ˈɡɹoʊ.s(ə.)ɹiz/, flexible /ˈflɛk.sɪ.bəl/

Bu videoyla nasıl çalışılır

  1. Videonun tamamını konuşmadan bir kez dinleyin ve bilmediğiniz kelimeleri not edin.
  2. Normal hızda cümle cümle tekrar edin; ritminiz konuşmacıyla aynı olana kadar her cümleyi yineleyin.
  3. Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; circular, wallet, checkout gibi kelimelere özellikle dikkat edin.

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.
