Oooooh!
2
This guy is going to take the CELPIP exam.
3
And he's studying for task 2 of the speaking test, which is a personal experience.
4
He has to talk about a personal experience.
5
Do you know how you should answer this question?
6
Well, in this lesson, we're going to look at how you should answer this question.
7
And hey, he's using my book to study for the exam!
8
I'm so happy about that.
9
I'm really excited.
10
Thank you so much to everyone who's bought my book.
11
It's a real honor to be able to help you prepare for your CELPIP test.
12
If you want to pick up a copy of my book, you can just go to my website,
13
metv.cool, and you can just download a PDF copy of my book right on my website.
14
Okay, so let's take a look at task two.
15
Personal experience, you have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.
16
Okay, so we're going to take a look at one of the questions from my book.
17
It says, talk about a time you made a change in your lifestyle.
18
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
19
Talk about a change you made in your lifestyle.
20
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
21
Okay, so let's take a look at some of my tips, right?
22
First I say, if you can think of a personal example from your life, that's great.
23
But if you can't think of one immediately, then just make something up.
24
For example, you could talk about changing your diet.
25
Or you could talk about changing anything in your life, okay?
26
So, when you answer this question, you should tell a story.
27
Most stories start with a time reference.
28
Like, last year, three years ago, six months ago, I...
29
Right?
30
That's how stories start.
31
They start with a time reference.
32
Okay, in your first sentence, you should say what the change was that you made in your lifestyle.
33
Okay?
34
Then, in the rest of the sentences, you'll talk about how it affected your life.
35
Okay?
36
Then you're going to give some reasons
37
or tell some stories about how it really changed your life or how it impacted your life.
38
Okay?
39
Now, remember, use past tense verbs.
40
You have to remember to use past tense verbs.
41
This is so important.
42
I know a lot of languages don't have past tense verbs.
43
So it's very hard.
44
If you make a few mistakes, you know, that's okay.
45
But generally you need to use past tense verbs when you answer this question.
46
Okay, so I'm going to give you an outline of exactly how you should answer this question.
47
Okay, so remember when you see task two on the speaking part of the test, just follow the outline I'm going to give you
48
and you'll do fine okay
49
so the first thing you need to do is you need to give a time reference okay
50
so you could say so three years ago okay very often when native english speakers start telling a story
51
they use the word so.
52
So three years ago I was skiing and I broke my arm.
53
Okay.
54
Or you could say when I was in college I blah blah blah.
55
Last week I went to a party at my friend's house.
56
Okay.
57
So you always have to start with a time reference.
58
Then after the time reference you're going to give your short introduction phrase like this.
59
I broke my leg.
60
So three years ago, I broke my leg while I was skiing down a mountain.
61
Okay.
62
Then you're going to tell the story.
63
You're going to talk about your experiences.
64
Okay.
65
So you need to tell your story using past tense verbs.
66
Like I said that already.
67
Went, studied, ate, anything that's related to your story, you're going to use past tense verse.
68
Now, here's an important thing I want to mention.
69
Okay, your voice, your tone of voice should match the mood of the story.
70
I mean, is it a happy story?
71
Is it, is it, you know, a frustrating experience that you're talking about?
72
You know, one of the questions in my book is talk about a frustrating experience you had in the workplace.
73
So you need to think of a frustrating experience you had
74
and you need to sound frustrated when you're thinking back about that experience.
75
Okay, you might say, so three years ago I worked at this one company and
76
I had a co-worker and that co-worker just drove me up the wall.
77
Drove me up the wall.
78
That means really irritated me, frustrated me.
79
Okay, so your voice needs to sound frustrated.
80
You can't say, three years ago, I had a very frustrating experience at my workplace.
81
my boss was really mean to me and I you can't sound happy
82
if it's a frustrating experience you have to sound sad
83
if it's a happy experience you have to sound happy
84
if it's exciting
85
if it's a you know just all these different kinds of
86
emotions you need to to use emotion in this answer the person who's listening to you should get the feeling
87
that you are remembering the experience.
88
Okay, so then at the end you're just going to give a short conclusion.
89
It's just one little short sentence.
90
That's it.
91
Okay, you could say, anyway, that was a really frustrating experience for me.
92
Okay, now most of the time when native English speakers are going to stop their story,
93
or when they're going to conclude their story, they use the word anyway.
94
We use that a lot.
95
That word signals the end of our story.
96
Anyway, that was a really frustrating experience for me.
97
Anyway, that was the best Chinese food I ever ate in my life.
98
Anyway, that was a really fun party.
99
Anyway, I'm never going to forget that.
100
That was such a fun trip.
101
Anyway, okay, so that's a good word to use when you're going to end your story.
102
Okay, so let's take a look at this question.
103
So talk about a time you made a change in your lifestyle.
104
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
105
What would you say?
106
Well, I'm going to share my answer with you right now.
107
But first I just want to teach you these vocabulary words that I'll use in my answer.
108
Okay, night owl.
109
A night owl is someone who stays up late.
110
They don't go to bed early.
111
Okay, an early bird is someone who wakes up early.
112
So if you wake up at like 5 a.m every morning, you're an early bird.
113
If you go to bed at midnight or after midnight, then you're a night owl.
114
Okay, impact.
115
Something has an impact on you.
116
That means how it influences your life.
117
What effect it has on your life.
118
Okay, crisp means cool.
119
Chirping, that's the sound birds make.
120
Chirping.
121
Refreshing.
122
Refreshing.
123
Okay, that means it makes you feel fresh.
124
Remember, you don't need to use lots of big words in your answer.
125
Just try to use natural words.
126
These are some words that a native speaker would use in this situation.
127
Okay, so I say this a few times throughout my book.
128
Look, don't try to use really advanced words and phrases.
129
Then you're going to get caught up in your answer.
130
Your answer is going to be really disjointed.
131
You know, sometimes when I was practicing helping people prepare for the CELPIP exam,
132
they would just use the most advanced words and phrases.
133
And honestly, the way I would answer these questions is much simpler than the way most students would answer them.
134
I just use very, very basic words, simple words, but natural words.
135
So try to use natural words.
136
These are just normal words that a native English speaker would use in this situation.
137
Okay, so here's my answer.
138
When I was in college, I had to take early morning classes.
139
The classes started at 7am, which meant that I had to wake up at 5.30.
140
That was a big change for me because I had to start going to bed earlier.
141
It was hard to make this change because I've always been a night owl.
142
I like staying up late and watching movies and chatting online, but this change really had a positive impact on my life.
143
After a few months of early mornings, I really fell in love with the new schedule.
144
I felt less tired than I used to.
145
It was so refreshing breathing the crisp morning air as I walked to school.
146
I loved hearing the birds chirping and seeing the sunrise.
147
Even though I don't have to wake up early anymore, I still do it because I've grown to love it.
148
Nowadays, I'm an early bird.
149
Okay, nowadays I'm an early bird.
150
So there's just my conclusion.
151
You don't need to use anyway.
152
You can just say this.
153
Nowadays, I'm an early bird.
154
You could say, anyway, that was a change I made in my lifestyle.
155
Anyway, that was a very positive change I made in my lifestyle a few years ago.
156
You know, you can say whatever you want, just a short conclusion is really nice.
157
If you don't have time for a conclusion, you know, I don't know how many marks they'll take off if you don't have a conclusion,
158
but it's better to have a short conclusion in your answers on the CELPIP test.
159
Okay, so I'm going to give you some homework.
160
I want you to talk about the worst food you've ever eaten.
161
What is the worst food you've ever eaten?
162
Now remember, this is just simple.
163
Follow my strategy.
164
What are you going to do first?
165
You're going to have a time reference.
166
What are you going to do next?
167
You're going to have your simple introductory phrase.
168
Okay.
169
So, three years ago, I went to a restaurant here in Calgary.
170
There I have my time reference and my introductory phrase.
171
And then I just tell my story using past tense verbs, using some emotion to talk about why the food was so bad.
172
And then I conclude by saying, anyway, that was the worst food I've ever eaten in my life.
173
Okay, so I think if you follow these tips for this question, I think you guys are going to do really well on the self-tip test for this question.
174
I think this is one of the easiest questions on the test, but you have to remember you have to use past tense verbs
175
and try to use the emotion that you would have experienced back when you experienced whatever happened.
176
Like if you're sad, sound sad, angry, sound angry.
177
Okay, anyway, what do you think?
178
Do you think you'll do well on this question on the test?
179
Let me know your answer to this down there, and I look forward to reading about all the terrible food you've eaten in your life.
180
Okay, I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
181
Take care.

背景與語境
在這段影片中,講述者準備參加CELPIP考試,專注於口語部分的第二任務,該任務要求考生分享個人經歷。這個任務不僅是對英語口語的考驗,也是在考察考生如何組織語言並傳達思想。通過有效的時間管理和結構化回答,考生可以在規定的30秒準備時間和60秒發言時間內,清晰地表達自己的想法。因此,瞭解如何構建回應內容至關重要。
日常交流的五個重要短語
- “三年前,我...” - 用於引入時間背景,並開始故事敘述。
- “這個改變讓我...” - 引導聽眾瞭解變化帶來的影響。
- “我發現自己...” - 表達個人感受和所學到的經驗。
- “例如,我的飲食習慣...” - 具體說明改變的內容。
- “總的來說,這個經歷...” - 總結個人經歷的影響。
逐步跟讀指南
為了有效提升英語口語能力,特別是在CELPIP口語任務中,建議採取以下的shadowing(影子跟讀)步驟來應對影片中的內容:
- 瞭解任務要求:熟悉任務結構,記住你需要在30秒內準備,60秒內發言。這種時間限制需要練習管理。
- 選擇個人經歷:思考一個對你生活有重大影響的改變,例如飲食或生活方式的調整。如果一時間想不出,可以創造一個情景。
- 構建回應框架:從時間背景入手,清晰地描述改變,並詳述其對你生活的影響。使用過去時態動詞是關鍵,確保你的敘述順暢。
- 進行模仿練習:通過觀看影片,嘗試模仿發言者的口音和語調。反覆觀看,逐步提高發音和語速。
- 記錄與反饋:錄下自己的發言,與影片中的材料對比,注意發音、流利度和語法錯誤,藉此改正並提升自己的口語能力。
這種方法不僅能幫助你提高英語口語能力,還能通過看YouTube學英語的方式,使學習過程更生動有趣。藉助英語影子跟讀的練習,你將能夠有效提高英語發音和表達能力。
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 | I've always been · I've grown · you've ever eaten |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | test, which is · someone who stays · someone who wakes |
| 用 “should” 提建議 should + 動詞 — 表示應該做的事 | should answer · should tell · should say |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the best · the most advanced · the worst |
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。
