Lesson 758, Big Family.
2
Lupe talks about what it's like to have lots of brothers and sisters.
3
Listen to the end and take the quiz.
4
Now, let's listen to the conversation.
5
So Lupe, you have an extremely large family compared to family sizes here in the United States.
6
How was that?
7
How was that growing up with such a large family?
8
Yeah, coming here to the United States, it was really strange for me to see how small families were and me coming from such a big family where there's I have five brothers and six sisters.
9
So five boys, seven girls.
10
There's 12 of us.
11
And we all have the same mom and dad.
12
And, you know, at times it can be a little a little rough because growing up, you know, at one point we did all live together.
13
Now it's not as hard because there is a big age difference between the oldest and the youngest.
14
I am the youngest girl, and I have a younger brother.
15
My oldest brother now is 40, married, lives in his own house, and most of my older brothers and sisters are all married and have their kids and have also moved out.
16
It's not as tough anymore.
17
What I love about having such a big family is that now they all have babies.
18
So there's 23 nephews and nieces.
19
So when we have get togethers, it's really an amazing party because there's so many people there just with our immediate family.
20
The kids are running around playing.
21
All the women are, you know, hanging out, talking, and the guys are also doing their thing.
22
And there's also a lot of birthday parties.
23
as you can imagine.
24
There's so many birthdays throughout the year.
25
So there's always a party.
26
There's always someone to talk to.
27
There's always someone to go to.
28
Although it can really hurt your pocket around Christmas time because, you know, there's 23 nephews and nieces to buy presents for.
29
And there's also 11 siblings to buy, you know, presents.
30
And the family's only getting larger because you also got to think about them getting married.
31
So now I have sister-in-laws, now I have brother-in-laws, and there's still a few of us that are not married.
32
So the family's going to get bigger for sure.
33
What was the hardest part about growing up in a family that large?
34
I think the hardest part about it when I was little was I think my parents didn't have the resources to raise all of us in maybe the way they wish that they could have.
35
There wasn't always enough money to make sure that everybody was well-dressed or even that there was enough food.
36
As the older siblings started, you know, growing up and being old enough that they could work, they, you know, became an essential part of the family and started helping with the income, the family income.
37
And that made it a lot easier for us younger ones growing up.
38
they had it a little tougher than we did because they had to work a lot since they were really young to make sure that the rest of us had everything we needed.
39
That was definitely the hardest part.

Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Video này của Lupe mang đến cái nhìn thú vị về cuộc sống trong một gia đình đông đúc với 12 thành viên. Thông qua câu chuyện của cô, bạn không chỉ được nghe mà còn có cơ hội thực hành kỹ năng nói của mình trong một bối cảnh sống động và gần gũi.

Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
Trong video, Lupe sử dụng một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và biểu thức thú vị, bao gồm:
- “How was that growing up with such a large family?” - Đây là một câu hỏi mở mang đến cơ hội cho người nói mô tả cảm giác và cảm nhận cá nhân của mình.
- “There wasn't always enough money...” - Cấu trúc này cho thấy một cách tiếp cận tinh tế về việc nói tới những khó khăn tài chính, rất phù hợp cho các cuộc hội thoại thực tế.
- “As the older siblings started helping with the income...” - Câu này thể hiện cách mà các thành viên trong gia đình hỗ trợ lẫn nhau, giúp mở rộng từ vựng về gia đình và trách nhiệm.
Việc hiểu và vận dụng các cấu trúc này thông qua shadowing tiếng anh sẽ giúp bạn cải thiện khả năng giao tiếp nhanh chóng và hiệu quả hơn.
Nhiều cạm bẫy phát âm thường gặp
Câu chuyện của Lupe có một số từ vựng và phát âm có thể gây khó khăn cho người học:
- “nephews and nieces” - Cụm từ này có thể gây nhầm lẫn vì cách phát âm tương tự.
- “sibling” - Từ này có âm “b” nhẹ, mà người học đôi khi có thể bỏ qua.
- “get-togethers” - Cách phát âm của từ này cũng có thể khiến bạn khó khăn khi kết hợp các âm lại với nhau.
Để cải thiện kỹ năng phát âm của bạn, hãy sử dụng các phần mềm shadowing hoặc tham gia vào các buổi thực hành shadowspeaks. Bằng cách lặp lại các câu trong video, bạn sẽ dễ dàng nhận ra và sửa chữa các lỗi phát âm của mình.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
