1
Take a look at this guy.
2
He's taking the CELPIP exam
3
and on the speaking part of the exam he has to answer a question where he has to express his personal opinion.
4
Okay and he has one and a half minutes to answer the question but he doesn't know what to say.
5
Do you know what to say?
6
In this lesson I'm going to teach you how you should answer this question.
7
Okay, I'm making a lot of videos on CELFIP,
8
so if you haven't already subscribed,
9
make sure you subscribe right down there.
10
Okay, so here's our question.
11
Do you think that young adults should pay rent to their parents
12
if they do not move out by the age of 21?
13
Explain your reasons.
14
Okay, this is sort of an interesting question.
15
Do you think young adults should pay rent to their parents if they do not move out by age 21?
16
So you need to answer this question with your own opinion, your personal opinion.
17
Now, this is actually pretty challenging for a lot of people.
18
And this is why it's challenging.
19
Okay, individualism versus collectivism.
20
A lot of people taking the CELPIP exam are from countries like Japan,
21
Korea, China, and in their societies,
22
their opinion doesn't really matter.
23
Their personal opinion.
24
Like if you ask someone from Japan,
25
what do you think about this issue?
26
They won't probably talk very much, okay?
27
But if you ask someone from Canada,
28
what do you think about this issue?
29
They're going to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
30
They're going to talk your ear off.
31
Okay.
32
Talk your ear off is an idiom that means they're going to talk a lot.
33
Okay.
34
That's because in Canada, individualism is really important.
35
That means the individual is the highest in society.
36
But in countries like Japan,
37
the individual doesn't really matter.
38
It's the opinion of society or family that matters.
39
So this question on the CELPIP exam actually shows you that Canadians value individualism.
40
What your personal opinion is.
41
So you need to actually say your opinion.
42
Now, the question might be something that you don't care about or you don't know anything about,
43
but you still need to speak as though you're giving your personal opinion, okay?
44
So even if you don't care whether kids have to pay rent to their parents or not,
45
you still have to make something up and speak like you care about it, okay?
46
So you're going to use words like this.
47
You're going to say, I think,
48
or I believe, or in my opinion, or personally speaking.
49
Okay, this is how we share our opinions.
50
Okay, then you're going to say your opinion.
51
You're going to say, young adults should pay rent to their parents,
52
or young adults should not pay rent to their parents.
53
Okay, that's what the question is asking,
54
so you need to answer it directly.
55
Okay?
56
And then, after you say that,
57
you're going to give your reasons.
58
Why don't you think parents or why don't you think young adults should pay rent?
59
Or why do you think young adults should pay rent?
60
Okay?
61
So, your first sentence is going to look like this.
62
Okay, in my opinion, young adults should not pay rent to their parents for several reasons.
63
Okay, there you've said your opening phrase, your opinion.
64
Now we're going to talk about the reasons.
65
So you're going to say, firstly, blah, blah, blah.
66
or the first reason is that
67
and then after you talk about your first reason then you might say another reason is
68
that blah blah blah
69
and then your last reason you could say finally I think blah blah blah okay
70
so you're going to give all your reasons here after you finish that then you're going to give a little conclusion.
71
Just one sentence.
72
Okay?
73
So when you see your time running out,
74
maybe if you have 10 or 15 seconds left,
75
then you should just say your conclusion.
76
You could say something like this.
77
That's why I think parents should not charge rent to their kids even if they're over 21.
78
Okay?
79
That's a good little conclusion.
80
Then you stop talking.
81
Perfect.
82
Okay, now let's try to think about this question a little bit.
83
What would your reasons be?
84
Okay, should kids pay rent to their parents if they're over 21?
85
Well, we could answer no. No,
86
because young adults in their 20s,
87
they're busy paying for their education,
88
and education costs a lot of money, right?
89
So that's one reason.
90
And also, people in their 20s might be saving up to buy a house,
91
or they might be saving up for marriage.
92
Okay, so you're just going to take some really quick notes.
93
Remember, you only have 30 seconds in this question.
94
This is task 7.
95
Yeah, it's task 7 on the CELPIP exam.
96
Okay, you only have 30 seconds to take some notes.
97
So you're going to read the question and then you might just write two
98
or three words to help you remember what you want to say.
99
So this is the notes.
100
These are the notes that I would take if I were answering this question.
101
But we could also say yes.
102
Yes.
103
Young adults should have to pay rent to their parents after 21.
104
Because a lot of young people these days are lazy and that's not good if they have to pay rent then,
105
you know, that'll teach them about work,
106
how to get a job, how to make money.
107
It will also teach them how to manage their money,
108
how to make a budget.
109
Okay, so you just write down any ideas, okay?
110
Because 90 seconds is a long time to talk.
111
Look, I've talked to people who have taken a CELPIP exam,
112
and they say, yes, 90 seconds is a long time.
113
60 seconds is not too long,
114
but the difference between 60 seconds and 90 seconds is a big difference.
115
So you're going to need to speak for one and a half minutes on something like this,
116
where you're talking about your opinion.
117
Do you think you can do it?
118
It's challenging.
119
Okay, so when you see the question,
120
you're going to pick whichever answer is easiest for you to give reasons for.
121
Okay, so in this case,
122
I think it would be much easier to say,
123
no, young adults should not pay rent to their parents even after 21 because education, house, marriage.
124
I think this would be easier to answer.
125
Okay, so you have 90 seconds.
126
I'm going to give you an example of how to talk about this in 90 seconds.
127
So just be patient.
128
But first I want to say,
129
if you don't have enough to talk about in 90 seconds,
130
like after a minute, if you run out of things to say and you don't know what to say,
131
you can acknowledge some counter-arguments.
132
Okay, what's a counter-argument?
133
Well, a counter-argument is something that the other side of the argument would say.
134
For example, like, kids will be lazy if they don't have to pay rent.
135
That's a counter-argument.
136
So you can acknowledge that.
137
You could say a lot of people think that kids will get lazy if they have a free place to live.
138
But in my experience, that's not true.
139
For example, I have a friend who studied at university all the way up till he was 30 years old.
140
And then after he graduated,
141
he got a great job.
142
He's working really hard.
143
He's managing his money really well.
144
So this would be a good way to acknowledge some of the other arguments.
145
but to make them so that you are right.
146
So you want to use these counter arguments to help your position or to counter them.
147
You acknowledge them and then you counter them by saying,
148
but in my experience, that's not true.
149
So if you don't have enough time, you can do this.
150
Okay, so like I said,
151
I'm going to give you an example of how I would answer this question in 90 seconds.
152
Now, if you want to try first,
153
before you hear me, then just click on the pause button right down there.
154
Otherwise, I'm going to start right now.
155
I have my stopwatch here.
156
Are you ready?
157
Here we go.
158
Okay, I don't think young adults should have to pay rent to their parents even after the age of 21
159
for several reasons.
160
Firstly, most people in their 20s are going to university and university costs are really high.
161
So if young adults have to pay their rent and have to pay for a university,
162
that's putting a really big burden on the young adults.
163
Also a lot of people in
164
that age are trying to save up money to buy a house
165
which would be really good if they can buy a house early on in life
166
that means they're going to be better financially or more financially stable later on in life.
167
If they have to wait till like 35 or 40 years old to buy a house,
168
then, you know, it's going to take them a long time to pay it off.
169
If they can get it earlier, that's better.
170
Also, a lot of young adults want to get married in their 20s,
171
so that costs a lot of money too.
172
The average wedding in Canada is at least $30,000, I've heard.
173
So, it's good if kids can save for these things.
174
So that's why, those are some reasons why I think that young adults should not pay rent to their parents.
175
Done.
176
Okay, exactly one and a half minutes.
177
Okay, so, you know, I looked at my watch and I made a decision.
178
Should I talk about some counter arguments or should I just stop with this?
179
and I realized I probably don't have enough time to talk about the counter arguments.
180
Okay, so I think that was a pretty good answer.
181
I gave, you know, some good reasons why I had an introduction.
182
I said, in my opinion,
183
young adults should not have to pay rent to their parents for several reasons.
184
I gave my reasons and then I had a conclusion.
185
I said so that's why
186
or these are some reasons why I think young adults should not pay rent to their parents after age 21.
187
Okay so that was I think that was okay.
188
What do you think?
189
Do you think that was good or could I have have done a little bit better.
190
Okay, so I think a good way to practice for this speaking question is to practice taking notes in your mind.
191
Okay, like if you read the news and you see something on the news,
192
practice taking an opinion on it,
193
both sides, and think of three reasons why this side is right and three reasons why this side is right.
194
Okay, here's an example.
195
Do you think Muslim women in Canada should be allowed to wear hijabs?
196
Explain your answer.
197
Okay, this is a very,
198
a very touchy topic in Canada and other countries like Switzerland, Europe, France, USA.
199
Okay, And there's two sides to the argument.
200
So what could we say?
201
If we say, yes, they should be allowed to wear hijabs.
202
What are three points we could say?
203
Well, we could say Canada has religious freedoms,
204
so women should be allowed to wear hijabs.
205
Also, Canadian values are very open and multicultural.
206
Canada loves multiculturalism.
207
Okay, so that's another reason.
208
Also, this will help to educate the rest of Canadians that Muslims are actually peaceful people.
209
Okay, so there we have three reasons why women should be allowed to wear hijabs.
210
But let's think about the other side.
211
If we say, no, they should not be allowed to wear hijabs because it will instill fear into society.
212
okay everyone will think about the news
213
and they see all the the terrorist activities all around the world
214
and
215
if they see people from those cultures they're going to be
216
afraid okay that's one reason another reason could be it's against
217
Canadian values the Canadian values equality between Canada values equality between men and women so it goes against Canadian values.
218
A third reason is we don't want our children growing up with foreign values.
219
Okay so there I just made three reasons for yes three reasons for no.
220
So if you do this kind of practice in your mind it's going to be easier on the exam
221
when you have to think fast and write down two or three words, okay?
222
For example, if you read the news,
223
say it says something about North Korea,
224
then you ask yourself, should Donald Trump attack North Korea?
225
Yes, he should because boom, boom, boom.
226
No, he shouldn't because boom, boom, boom, okay?
227
This kind of practice helps strengthen your thinking skills skills and it will help you be better in expressing your opinion.
228
Okay, so that's my tips for answering this question.
229
Let's do some homework.
230
Do you think university education should be free?
231
Explain your reasons.
232
Okay, so I want you to tell me your reasons down there in the comments
233
and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
234
Take care.
235
Thank you.

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:

結構影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事haven't already subscribed · you've said · I've talked
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的should be allowed · should not be allowed
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物people who have · friend who studied

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
