Hello, welcome to another episode of Elephant English Podcast.
大家好,歡迎收聽新一期的《Elephant English播客》。

In today's video, we're going to be following some speaking exam questions about clothing and fashion,
3
and I'm going to be answering these questions so that it can help you practice for your speaking exam.
接下來我會逐一解答這些問題,幫你備考口語考試。
4
The first question is, do you like shoes?
5
No, I'm not really keen on shoes.
6
When I have to buy a pair of shoes then I do, but it's not something that I get excited about buying.
需要買鞋的時候我就會買,但買鞋這件事本身並不會讓我感到興奮。
7
The next question is, how often do you buy shoes?
下一個問題是,你多久買一次鞋?
8
Well, I don't really buy shoes often because my favourite type of shoes are Doc Martins.
9
They are military style boots and they are known for being quite long lasting
這是軍靴款式,以非常耐穿著稱。
10
so that means that I don't have to buy a pair of boots every year.
這樣一來我就不用每年都買一雙新靴子了。
11
The ones that I have at the minute have lasted me 5 years
我現在用的這副已經用了五年了。
12
so that's the reason why I don't buy boots often and
所以這就是我不常買靴子的原因
13
when it comes to sandals and summer shoes I don't really use them
說到涼鞋和夏季鞋款,我其實很少穿。
14
that much so they don't wear down quickly so I might have to buy them every two years.
這樣它們就不會很快磨損,我大概每兩年才需要買一次。
15
The next question is do you prefer comfortable or good looking shoes?
下一個問題是,你更喜歡舒適的鞋子還是好看的鞋子?
16
I prefer wearing comfortable shoes because I'm on my feet most of the day
我更喜歡穿舒適的鞋子,因為我一天中大部分時間都得站著。
17
and I don't really like wearing high heels and those types of shoes.
18
I think that they're really uncomfortable and it's not worth it especially
19
because you wear high heels when you're going to an event like a wedding
20
and you have to walk around a lot and spend a lot of time standing up and when you get home
21
your feet really hurt.
22
The next question is have you ever bought shoes online?
23
Yes I have bought shoes online but I knew what shoe size to get for that specific brand.
24
I wouldn't really recommend buying shoes online
25
if you have never bought a pair of shoes of
26
that brand but
27
if you have already had three pairs of the similar type
28
of shoe then it's not a big deal to buy them online
29
because you know what your shoe size is going to be.
30
Also if you do have any problems then you can always send the shoes back.
31
I have never had to do that but I know
32
that some of my friends have done and they haven't had any issues with it at all.
33
In the next part I have to describe a dress or shirt that I wore for a special occasion.
34
I have to mention what it is like, when and where I bought it,
35
what special occasion I wore it for and I have to explain how it made you feel wearing it.
36
Well, one of the nicest outfits that I have ever worn was a baby pink dress that I wore to a wedding.
37
It was quite a simple pink dress but it came with a very nice silver belt and it looked really nice on.
38
I wore some silver jewellery on that day as well so it went with the belt and it looked really pretty.
39
I bought it at a small shop in my city.
40
It is one of those shops where you walk in
41
and there's only one of each style and colour
42
so it's quite good because you know that
43
when you're gonna go to the wedding there isn't going to be someone with the same dress as you.
44
Well they might have bought it in another shop but it would be very unlucky if that happened.
45
I didn't want to go to the wedding and see
46
that somebody was wearing the exact same dress
47
because it's a bit awkward for you and for them and it looks quite funny in the photos.
48
When I was wearing that dress I felt quite pretty and special.
49
It's nice when you go to a wedding and you dress up
50
and put makeup on because you're not wearing the same clothes
51
that you do every day when you go to work and it makes you feel special.
52
The next question is what do you think the clothes we wear say about to us?
53
Well I think that the clothes that we wear reflect our personality.
54
I was having a conversation about this with my mum the other day
55
because she was saying that back in the 80s
56
if you liked a certain type of music then you would wear a certain type of clothing
57
so in the playground at school for example you would know
58
what type of music a group of children listened to
59
because of the clothes that they were wearing and my mum was saying that it doesn't really happen nowadays days.
60
I think that it doesn't happen so much
61
but you still have groups of teenagers who have more of a gothic style
62
and others who wear more pastel colours but it is true that we don't really see that many different styles as before.
63
I still think that it does reflect your personality a little bit
64
because some people wear more informal clothing whereas others wear more formal clothing
65
and more jewelry and things like that you mustn't judge anybody by the clothes
66
that they're wearing but it is true that clothes do reflect a little bit of our personality The next question is,
67
do you think that brand names are very important for clothes sales?
68
Yes, I do.
69
At the moment, I would say that the most popular brands are Nike and Adidas.
70
At least for young people.
71
I think that especially with teenagers when they see
72
that their friends are wearing a particular brand then they are going to copy their friends
73
because they feel like they might be left out if they don't wear it.
74
especially now with social media it seems that fashions spread quite quickly
75
because you can see what the influencers are wearing
76
and suddenly everybody is wearing what they are
77
and this is good for brands really because they can sponsor the influencers on instagram or youtube or tiktok
78
and then all of the teenagers or young people are going to copy what they're wearing.
79
So this is why I think that brand names are very important for clothes sales.
80
The next question is, why do some people like to go clothes shopping with friends?
81
I think that when you're young,
82
you like to go clothes shopping with friends because normally you have quite a similar style to them.
83
Your parents normally drop you off at the shopping centre
84
and you spend two hours just looking around the shops and you go for an ice cream or go to the cinema.
85
So I think it's just a fun thing to do on a Friday evening
86
or Saturday evening with friends because at that age the majority of people like doing that.
87
So it's just something to do.
88
Especially when you're that age because everybody seems to be doing the same thing and when you go to the shopping centre,
89
at least in England, you see people from your school or from your class and it's a social event.
90
The next question is how do you think fashion will change in the future?
91
I'm not really sure how fashion will change in the future.
92
If you think about it fashion repeats itself.
93
Sometimes Sometimes I see a nice blouse or some nice trousers and say to my mum, oh look at this new style.
94
And she says, no that isn't a new style, I used to wear that when I was 25 for example.
95
So what might happen is that we just continue reusing the same styles but with just small variations.
96
really if you think about it it would be good
97
if fashion doesn't change much especially if we think about protecting the planet
98
because when there are more fashion trends then people tend to buy those fashion items
99
and they're only in fashion for about a year or two
100
so when that trend is finished then they have to buy new clothing and that isn't good for the planet at all.
101
So maybe fashion will become more timeless and that way we wouldn't have to keep buying so many clothes.
102
Although when I think about it I don't think that will happen because then the companies wouldn't sell so many clothes.
103
So in today's video we have talked about clothing and fashion.
104
If you have enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up

and subscribe to my channel because I make a lot of these videos about different topics.
106
Thank you very much and I'll see you in the next one.

本節課內容簡介
這節課我們將通過一段關於時尚與服飾的對話,練習英語聽力和口語表達。內容圍繞鞋子喜好、購買頻率、線上購物以及特殊場合穿搭展開,非常適合B1/B2水平的學習者提升日常交流能力,同時也能為雅思口語練習積累實用素材。跟著影片中的對話,你不僅能學習地道表達,還能通過影子跟讀(shadowspeak)訓練口語流暢度。
核心詞彙與短語
- long lasting:耐用的,經久不衰的
- wear down:磨損,用壞
- high heels:高跟鞋
- special occasion:特殊場合
- awkward:尷尬的
影子跟讀練習技巧
影片中的語速適中,語氣自然,非常適合進行英語影子跟讀訓練。練習時,建議先完整聽一遍對話,熟悉內容後再逐句跟讀。注意模仿說話人的語調變化,比如提到“不舒服的高跟鞋”時的無奈語氣,以及描述粉色連衣裙時的愉悅感。剛開始可以暫停影片,確保每個單詞都發音準確;熟練後嘗試同步跟讀,提升反應速度。堅持用這種“shadow speak”方法練習,你的口語流暢度和語感會明顯提升。記得多關注對話中的細節,比如“每兩年買一次涼鞋”的表達,這些都能成為你口語考試中的亮點哦!
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 | have lasted · have bought · have never bought |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | are known · might be left |
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。
