What is the number one topic that they say you should not talk about in polite conversations?

Well, it's politics.

And what are we going to talk about today?

Politics.

I am going to teach you how to talk about politics in a polite way while still sharing your opinion.

Today's political lesson is inspired by these political pamphlets

that I have been receiving in the mail because it is election season here where I live.

And during today's lesson, you're going to be seeing some real life phrases that are actually used to talk about politics.

Plus at the end of today's lesson, you'll get a chance to practice talking about politics with me.

So pay attention so that you can speak at the end of today's lesson.

If you're new here, hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa .com.

And I have been teaching real life English

now for over 10 years to more than 7 million of you here on YouTube.

Thank you so much for learning English with me.

And to help you with today's lesson so that you can remember everything that you've learned,

I have created a free PDF worksheet that includes all of the phrases

and questions and sentences that you can use to talk politely about politics, but still share your opinion.

And to help you use these expressions, I have included a bonus.

This is a bonus speaking practice within the worksheet.

This will help you be able to speak and use what you've learned, not just hear it in your head and understand it,

but actually use it so that when you go out into the real world,

you will have all the expressions you need and you'll be able to express yourself.

So how can you get this PDF worksheet plus the bonus speaking practice? practice,

all you need to do is click on the link in the description, enter your name and email address,

and voila, the PDF worksheet and bonus speaking practice will land in your email inbox for free.

This is my gift to you.

All right.

Are you ready to get started?

Let's do it.

The first expression that you can use to talk about politics is, I'm feeling really worried about,

I'm feeling really worried about this election.

I feel so important.

And what if the wrong person gets elected?

Terrible things are going to happen.

Well, this is a good way to express your opinion without being too specific, but you're opening the door to conversation.

Phrase number two is, I can't believe that.

Did you see that press conference last night?

I can't believe that he said that.

I can't believe how much attention this story is getting.

It's all over the news.

It just seems like a small thing when there's such bigger things going on in the world.

I can't believe that that's happening.

Phrase number three, did you hear that?

Did you hear that the city is finally redoing the elementary school?

It's about time.

Did you hear that they're planning to raise taxes next year?

I'm feeling really worried about that.

Here again, you are opening the conversation.

Did you hear this thing?

And maybe the other person will tell you their opinion as well.

After our next phrase, we'll take a look at these real pamphlets that I received in the mail.

Take a look at some vocabulary and you can see how clever the words are when politicians are advertising.

Phrase number four is, it turns out that...

Did you hear about that political scandal in the news?

It turns out that it's all true.

So here we're talking about the reality.

There was a scandal.

We didn't know if it was true or not, but it turns out that it was all true.

Or you might say, did you hear about that scandal in the news?

It turns out it was all made up by the media, which is also possible, right?

All right.

Now let's take a look at a couple phrases that are used in these pamphlets.

Now, I really don't know much about these politicians, so I'm not endorsing them.

We are learning from them, right?

So in this pamphlet, he uses a specific word here.

He says, we need an independent independent voice like Jamie's to take on the corrupt Washington DC insiders.

Do you hear this phrase to take on?

This phrasal verb is often used in a battle.

I'm going to take on my opponent.

Well here, this politician, he's actually a farmer, a former farmer.

He is going to battle and fight the people who are the real politicians, the insiders.

So he is positioning himself as someone who's going to fight against the system.

Let's keep listening.

Okay.

He will protect our mountain values.

So we have take on, protect.

and strengthen family farms like mine.

So we have take on, protect, strengthen.

These are all very fatherly terms.

I'm going to protect you.

I will help to strengthen you.

I'm going to take on your enemies.

And we have this nice picture here of him in a field.

It feels very relatable, right?

Well, I want to show you something very different.

These are two advertisements against this guy.

Now, I don't really know much about this guy, but his opponents sent these to me.

And in these, do you see how it's dark?

It's kind of moody.

He doesn't look like a good guy.

In this one, he's in a flower field.

He looks positive.

He's wearing a t -shirt.

He looks like a normal person, right?

And then here, dark, scary, evil.

Well, he's just a person, right?

But listen to this language.

He sold you out and made life more expensive.

This phrase to sell out someone means that you stop caring about helping them and you're only helping the other guys.

100

So, his enemies, his political opponents are saying, he's not really caring about you.

101

He's only caring about the system.

102

He is going to tell you, I will help you, but really he's going to sell you out.

103

That's a pretty good phrasal verb for political advertising.

104

I want to tell you another one.

105

There's a lot of good adjectives that come out of political advertising

106

because they want to either really get you to vote for them

107

or really get you to not vote for the other guy.

108

So listen to this.

109

Massive tax hikes.

110

Taxes went way up.

111

Massive tax hikes.

112

The most expensive healthcare.

113

Jacking up costs.

114

So here it's not just that costs rose, but whoa, this phrase to To jack up means to go way higher,

115

just through the roof, jacking up costs.

116

We can't afford him.

117

I mean, it's a pretty negative review here, but those are also his political opponents.

118

So if you receive advertisements like this in the mail, I want you to be aware of the type of words

119

that they are using to convince you that you should or shouldn't vote for that person.

120

All right.

121

All right.

122

I am going to continue helping you with some phrases.

123

Are you ready to go?

124

Let's keep going.

125

The next phrase to talk about politics in a polite, but opinionated way is, have you heard the latest about,

126

have you heard the latest about the elections?

127

I think he might win.

128

Here we're talking about the latest news, but you don't even need to say the word news.

129

Have you heard the latest about the election?

130

It's crazy out there, man.

131

Phrase number six is one that you can use to help introduce politics to a conversation in a kind of polite way.

132

I hope you don't mind me asking, but have you heard what they're doing at the stadium?

133

They're going to tear it down and build a totally new stadium on our tax dollars.

134

What?

135

But you are introducing your opinion by asking, is it okay that I talk about this?

136

I hope you don't mind me asking, or I hope you don't mind me saying, and then you introduce your controversial topic.

137

Number seven is I'm not trying to get too political, but have you seen how much gas prices have gone up?

138

Well, gas prices don't seem like a political thing, but they always end up being a political thing.

139

But if you want to talk about gas prices going up and you know it is a hot political topic, you can introduce it like this.

140

I don't mean to get too political, but...

141

And then you're probably going to get political, right?

142

There's often not good political news, but if there happens to be, you could use this phrase.

143

You'll be happy to know that they actually passed the bill to help the local school system.

144

You'll be happy to know that, or you'll be happy to hear that.

145

For me, I am someone who doesn't really pay attention to the news very much.

146

And oftentimes when I go to my neighbor's house, she will tell me what's happening in the news.

147

And I appreciate that.

148

So if something by chance, once in a lifetime, good happens in the news, she could use this phrase, oh, Vanessa, you'll be happy to know

149

that they're actually giving more money to the schools to help them have a better education.

150

Finally.

151

I like number nine a lot.

152

It's this.

153

I could be wrong, but I think that this new policy change is actually going to help us a lot.

154

If you're someone like me who feels very skeptical about politics, they say, this is going to be great.

155

This will help you so much.

156

And in reality, It really never does, but.

157

Maybe you actually have a little bit of hope for once and you say,

158

I could be wrong, but I think this is actually going to help us a lot.

159

What a surprise.

160

But you can also use this phrase for negative things as well.

161

You might say, I could be wrong, but I think that taxes are going up again.

162

I hope I'm wrong.

163

I could be wrong, but here you're introducing your opinion with this nice little introduction phrase.

164

Number 10 is a common one for talking about politics and it's only one word.

165

Apparently, we can use this for speculating.

166

Listen to this.

167

Apparently, the politician was getting money from that company.

168

So that's why he voted for that policy.

169

Juicy details.

170

So here we're using this when we're not quite sure, but we think something's the case, apparently this was happening.

171

And would you believe it?

172

It's a scandal again, politics.

173

I used this word last week because in my city,

174

they're doing a big road rebuild and they're going to build a new bridge over the river.

175

They're going to redo a bunch of highways.

176

It is a huge project.

177

And I saw a sign the other day that said, the new road project will be done in 2030.

178

Okay.

179

That's three years from now.

180

So I came home and said, hey, Dan, apparently the road project is going to be done in only three years.

181

Can you believe it?

182

My voice was dripping in sarcasm because I do not believe that it will be done in three years.

183

My guess is minimum eight years, maybe 10 years.

184

I told my kids, when you are graduating from high school, they will still be working on this project.

185

That was my prediction.

186

So I use the word apparently.

187

Apparently they think they're going to be done in three years.

188

No way, right?

189

All right.

190

Now that you've learned these 10 phrases to talk about politics, share your opinion, but be polite.

191

We're going to watch a sample conversation between

192

Dan and I to talk about politics and using some of these expressions.

193

And after our sample conversation, it's going to be your turn to speak.

194

So make sure you pay attention and get ready.

195

Let's watch.

196

Hey, Vanessa.

197

How you been lately?

198

I'm really worried about the election.

199

I'm not trying to get political, but it's all I can think about lately.

200

Oh, yeah?

201

I haven't been following the news too much lately.

202

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's making you feel so worried?

203

Well, I've heard that taxes are going up again for small businesses like mine.

204

Mmm, I heard about that.

205

Apparently, they're higher than usual, too.

206

I sure hope not.

207

I can't believe how much attention this election is getting.

208

I'll be glad when it's over.

209

Me too.

210

No more political discussions?

211

Sounds like music to my ears.

212

All right.

213

Now it is your turn to speak.

214

How this works is I am going to ask you a question and I have these magical teacher ears.

215

I can hear you around the world no matter where you are.

216

So I want you to speak out loud in the pause and use some of the expressions that you've learned today.

217

If you need to pause this video, it's no problem.

218

Pause it, think for a moment, and then you can speak and you're welcome to go over the section as many times as you want,

219

just to get some speaking practice so that when you go out into the real world, you'll be ready.

220

Are you ready?

221

Let's do it.

222

Hey there.

223

Have you heard the latest about the election?

224

Oh, okay, well I've just heard that the candidates are going to have another debate next week.

225

Have you heard about it?

226

Apparently a lot of people are going to watch it.

227

Not to get too political, but do you keep up with the news and politics at all?

228

Ah, thanks for sharing with me.

229

I appreciate it.

230

I'll talk to you the next time.

231

Bye.

232

Well, great work at practicing talking about politics with me.

233

Now it's your chance to download the free PDF worksheet so that you never forget what you've learned.

234

You can practice all of these phrases, take the quiz to see if you can actually use the phrases in their sentences,

235

and you can download the free speaking practice so that you can use these words yourself,

236

say them out loud, and be absolutely prepared for the real world.

237

All you need to do to get the free worksheet is click on the link in the description, enter your name and email address and voila,

238

it will land in your email inbox.

239

It is my gift to you.

240

Well, thank you so much for taking on this controversial political topic today.

241

I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'll see you again next Friday for a new lesson here on my YouTube channel.

242

Bye.

243

But wait, do you want more?

244

I recommend watching this video next about a slightly less controversial topic, travel.

245

You'll have the chance to practice speaking out loud with me to talk about your latest vacations

246

and your dream vacations in the future.

247

I'll see you there.

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.
