1
I'm an English teacher.
2
Let's learn some English while I bake cookies.
3
So the first thing I need to do is I need to measure out some butter
4
and let's use this as an opportunity to practice a really common English mistake.
5
So I'm looking at the date here, the best before date.
6
A lot of my English students really struggle to say dates.
7
So I'm going to teach you in the way that we do in British English.
8
So this date says 23 May 2026.
9
How would you say that date out loud?
10
Would you say 23 May?
11
So we have to say the 23rd of May.
12
That of is really important.
13
The 23rd of May, 2026.
14
If you have a day attached to that, then you would say Monday, the 23rd of May, 2026.
15
Let's have a little practice.
16
I will put a date here.
17
You tell me how you would say that date in British English.
18
The 3rd of November.
19
The 22nd of June.
20
Sunday, the 7th of October.
21
So I have measured out my butter but it says softened butter so I might put it in the microwave
22
in a little bit.
23
Okay now we need to measure the sugar so while I'm measuring the sugar, Let me tell you about the word people.
24
A lot of my students get confused with this.
25
Remember, people is a plural.
26
You've got to treat it like a plural.
27
Can you see the mistake in this sentence?
28
The people are not happy.
29
Honestly, I hear my students saying the people is almost every day.
30
What about this sentence?
31
What's wrong with that?
32
People don't, not people doesn't.
33
So treat the word people in the same way you would treat the word they.
34
They don't, they are, they weren't.
35
People don't, people are, people weren't.
36
Okay, next thing we need to do is we need to measure out this sugar.
37
Goodness, there's a lot of sugar in cookies.
38
Okie dokie.
39
Now we need to put the butter and the two types of sugar into a bowl and beat it until creamy.
40
So put the butter in the bowl and the sugar.
41
Now I need to beat this until creamy.
42
So while I'm beating it, let's practice the third conditional.
43
So many of my students really struggle with this.
44
So here's an example of the third conditional.
45
If I had known you were coming, I would have made more cookies.
46
So remember, the third conditional is thinking about the past and and thinking about a different outcome from the past.
47
So something happened, something really happened, and now you are imagining a different version of the past.
48
So maybe you failed your test but now you're imagining, oh if I did this differently then this would have been different.
49
So it's all about the past.
50
So the reality is I only made five cookies.
51
That's what really happened.
52
I made five cookies but then someone came over but I I didn't know they were coming.
53
So now I want to think about a different past and I'm saying, oh, if I had known you were coming,
54
I would have made more cookies.
55
So the key thing to remember with the third conditional is don't use too many woulds.
56
So this is what I hear a lot.
57
If I would have known you were coming, I would have made more cookies.
58
With the if part, that goes with the past perfect.
59
So if I had known, if I had seen, if she hadn't walked,
60
if I had danced, then the result of that changed action is with would have or wouldn't have.
61
So read some of these sentences with me.
62
Are you ready?
63
If I had studied harder, I would have passed the test.
64
She would have cried if she had watched that movie.
65
They would have danced if they had heard that song.
66
Okay, this feels creamy.
67
This feels like the right consistency.
68
Oh, I just want to eat it all.
69
The recipe says beat in,
70
so mix in two teaspoons of vanilla extract and one large egg.
71
So teaspoon, I need two teaspoons of vanilla extract.
72
Here we go.
73
One, two, lovely.
74
And one large egg.
75
Time to crack the egg.
76
To crack an egg.
77
Here we go.
78
Okay, now while we're beating this, let's talk about verbs and prepositions.
79
This has been coming up a lot in my English lessons recently.
80
You know, people saying he accused me to stealing.
81
you know, not understanding which preposition goes with which verb.
82
So let's go over some common verbs and prepositions just to make sure you know them.
83
So I agree with you.
84
I agree with you.
85
I don't agree with him.
86
And make sure you don't say I'm agree.
87
A lot of my students say yes, I'm agree.
88
I agree.
89
I'm going to apply a job.
90
Apply for a job.
91
I'm going to apply for a new job.
92
That belongs me.
93
That belongs me.
94
What do we say?
95
That belongs to me.
96
Say these out loud.
97
If you're watching this video on your own, say these out loud.
98
Now this is a big one.
99
Everyone gets this one wrong.
100
I don't care that.
101
I don't care about that.
102
Now that is different to care for.
103
Care for means to look after someone.
104
So I care for my elderly mother.
105
I look after her.
106
I help her.
107
I care about my elderly mum just means you you have concern for her.
108
You you care.
109
Okay before we do some more I need to measure out some flour with a sieve.
110
Sieve.
111
Woohoo.
112
Oh, this always gets messy.
113
I hate flour.
114
Flour is so messy.
115
Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
116
I am not a baker.
117
I don't bake.
118
So I don't know what bicarbonate of soda is.
119
I don't know what that means.
120
I just follow the recipe and do what it tells me to do, but I don't know what this is.
121
I think it's to do with like, I don't know, I think it's something science-y.
122
A tiny bit of salt.
123
If I can't, so do that, and mix it with a wooden spoon.
124
Okay, carrying on.
125
Let's do some more verbs and prepositions.
126
I can't concentrate my work.
127
Concentrate on.
128
I can't concentrate on this.
129
It's the same with focus on.
130
I can't focus on this.
131
The meeting consisted.. lots of questions.
132
That's a tough one.
133
Consist of.
134
The meeting consisted of lots of questions.
135
Consists of means to contain.
136
So the meeting contained, it was made up of lots of questions.
137
This is such a big one, so many of my English students get this one wrong.
138
It depends on you.
139
It depends on you.
140
It depends on her.
141
It depends on the weather.
142
This is the problem with being tall.
143
Whenever you are tall and you're trying to bake, I'm leaning over like this.
144
Okay, this feels about right.
145
Now, this is the most exciting part.
146
mini eggs.
147
Oh, they are chocolates in the UK.
148
Oh, they are delightful.
149
They're just little chocolate eggs.
150
So I want to make these mini egg cookies.
151
So instead of chocolate chips, we're having mini eggs just like this.
152
And then maybe they will break apart in the oven and they will melt and go all amazing.
153
Ah, whoa.
154
While I mix the eggs into the dough, I will tell you about another really common thing that I hear.
155
I went to home or she came to home.
156
So you don't need the to there.
157
So I go home.
158
She went home.
159
You don't need to say go to home.
160
And that's interesting because usually I am telling my students, you need to say go to because so many of my students will say this,
161
I went in Rome last week or tomorrow I will go in Turkey.
162
So normally when you talk about a journey or you talk about a place that you visited, like a holiday or somewhere you've gone to,
163
Most of the time it is go to.
164
So I went to Spain.
165
I am going to London.
166
We only say go in if you are talking about going inside something.
167
So inside a building or inside a box.
168
Okay now this feels pretty well mixed so now we need to put them,
169
well we need to make cookies and then put them in the oven and see what happens.
170
Okay we have two baking trays for the cookies and they are lined with greaseproof paper or baking paper.
171
Okay so now we make cookies, I suppose.
172
Is that right for one cookie?
173
I don't know.
174
So let's talk a little bit about the present perfect tense.
175
This one is very overused.
176
I think, I think, I don't know, maybe people learn the present perfect and then think, oh my goodness, I have to use it.
177
So remember, we use the present perfect tense.
178
So I have been or I have walked to talk about things that started in the past and continue now.
179
To talk about things that have recently happened but are still very relevant now, like the results are still occurring now.
180
To talk about general experiences in your life.
181
And that's mostly it.
182
So if you are just talking about something that happened in the past and it's finished, you don't need the present perfect tense.
183
So have a look at this sentence.
184
I went to work yesterday.
185
This is talking about something that happened in the past yesterday.
186
It is finished.
187
So all we need is the past simple.
188
Some of my students would come to a lesson and say, I have been to work yesterday.
189
You don't need it.
190
Yesterday is finished so just use the past simple.
191
Okay I hope these don't just like spread in the oven
192
and and get really close to each other
193
because then I will just have one big giant cookie which is not what I want.
194
And I've already preheated the oven so I'm going to put them in and cross my fingers.
195
I really hope they turn out okay.
196
Let's see.
197
Oh let's put them in the oven.
198
They actually worked.
199
Look at these.
200
Oh my goodness.
201
I can't believe they were successful.
202
I'm going to try one now.
203
I'll try this one because it's breaking apart already.
204
So this will be my dinner.

Tại sao nên thực hành nói với video này?
Video này không chỉ đơn thuần là một buổi dạy học tiếng Anh, mà còn là một trải nghiệm thực tế trong việc giao tiếp. Người dạy đã kết hợp việc nấu ăn với việc học ngôn ngữ, giúp học viên cảm thấy thoải mái hơn trong việc thực hành nói tiếng Anh. Khi bạn vừa nghe vừa thực hành theo, bạn sẽ cải thiện khả năng phát âm tiếng anh chuẩn và tăng cường kỹ năng giao tiếp tự nhiên hơn. Thực hành với shadowing site sẽ giúp bạn nâng cao khả năng nghe và nói nhanh chóng, vì bạn có thể đi theo nhịp điệu và ngữ điệu của người nói.
Ngữ pháp & Cách diễn đạt trong ngữ cảnh
Các cấu trúc ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt trong video rất phong phú và đa dạng. Dưới đây là một số điểm nổi bật:
- Cách diễn đạt ngày tháng: Khi nói đến ngày tháng, người dạy nhấn mạnh rằng cần phải sử dụng "the" và "of," ví dụ: "the 23rd of May." Đây là điều quan trọng trong tiếng Anh British mà nhiều học viên gặp khó khăn.
- Câu điều kiện loại ba: Câu "If I had known you were coming, I would have made more cookies" thể hiện rõ ràng cách sử dụng câu điều kiện để nói về tình huống không có thật trong quá khứ. Nó giúp học viên nhận thức rõ hơn về cách chuyển thể suy nghĩ thành câu.
- Thể hiện số nhiều với từ "people": Người dạy luôn nhắc nhở rằng "people" phải được coi là số nhiều, ví dụ: "People don’t," không phải "People doesn’t." Đây là một lỗi phổ biến mà nhiều học sinh mắc phải.
Cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Video này cũng chỉ ra một số từ và cụm từ có thể gây khó khăn cho người học trong việc phát âm:
- people: Từ này thường bị phát âm sai, và người học cần chú ý đến ngữ điệu và âm tiết.
- dates: Khi nói về ngày tháng, cách phát âm cần phải rõ ràng và đúng ngữ pháp như đã đề cập trước đó.
- cooking verbs: Những động từ như "measure," "beat," cũng có thể dễ gây nhầm lẫn nếu người học không quen với cách sử dụng.
Sử dụng phần mềm shadowing hoặc shadowspeak có thể giúp bạn luyện tập phát âm một cách hiệu quả hơn. Việc lặp lại các câu trong video giúp não bộ ghi nhớ cấu trúc và âm thanh một cách tự nhiên.
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.
