I feel very out of shape actually reflecting on this.
110
So my butt is sore.

So something about SoulCycle I love.

I actually missed it so much and I think I wanna go back more.
114
I usually try to go to classes with like artists or playlists that I like.
115
This time, I just kind of signed up super last minute.
116
So I went to a random one.
117
So this one ended up being 2000s Throwbacks.
118
And it kind of just reminded me of all the songs that I heard in Applebee's when I was a child.
119
There is such thing as Applebee's music, okay?
120
I don't know how to explain it.
121
I don't know if anyone relates.
122
But there are certain songs like Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
123
Perfect example.
124
It's an Applebee's song.
125
And it always will be an Applebee's song.
126
Love that song.
127
I really do.
128
Anyways, I think I'm back on my SoulCycle journey.
129
So you guys will probably be seeing
130
that in my upcoming vlogs I'm already looking at the new schedule
131
and trying to see the classes coming up tate mcrae I'm
132
getting ready to go to an art cafe with my roommate
133
and friend olivia finding activities that you can do with your friends Are just sometimes like
134
so much more fun than just going out to get food all the time You kind of just like go there.
135
It's almost like a restaurant But like you order on the menu the type of art
136
that you want to make it's been a while since i've been there So i'm really excited.
137
I love a little girls night and I feel so refreshed and I feel so good after my little workout so so
138
the art cafe was i would say it's a success for me i was happy with my little cards
139
and you know one of my like love languages now i've realized is gift giving
140
so i thought why not like make some personalized cards for my friends for their birthdays
141
and stuff are they like picasso level no
142
no and you know what they never will be even
143
if you don't have a type of cafe like this near you
144
because like growing up in minnesota for me there's not stuff
145
like this close by you can like organize stuff like this
146
with your friends like go out get this stuff for it
147
you don't really need to go somewhere expensive i am going to upgrade my microphone soon it's a pending project my
148
my team is working on it my team is myself it is overdue for a little advice segment on here
149
so i thought i would read a dm you guys know i do this anonymously i'm 25
150
and i feel like i chose the wrong career path everyone around me seems
151
so confident and i feel stuck how did you know what you wanted to do there is
152
so much pressure in our 20s
153
and late teens to know exactly what we're going to do and expectations
154
that like for some reason we're going to know exactly what we want to do by the time we graduate
155
and that is not realistic.
156
I don't think your 20s are about choosing perfectly right away.
157
I think it's about trying things and testing things and seeing kind of what you like.
158
You're allowed to pivot.
159
You're allowed to change your mind.
160
You're allowed to try different things and like outgrow maybe a career
161
that you once thought you wanted after trying it for a little bit.
162
And I think trying something even if you learn that you don't like it that
163
is a success because then you learn something about yourself
164
and you learn what you like and what you're good at
165
or maybe what you don't like and what you're not good at and any information I think is valuable.
166
For me, I know some of you might think
167
that I never have questioned my career and that this just fell into my lap.
168
Obviously, I feel so grateful.
169
I can't even begin to explain but there's a lot of times especially after I graduated college where I questioned, you know, is this something I want to still do?
170
Am I gonna burn out?
171
Like I've been doing this for 10 years.
172
Is this like the right career path for me still?
173
I still question myself honestly all the time Everyone seems
174
so successful nowadays and with social media especially it just seems like everybody's doing
175
so well For me college
176
and like learning about different areas Drew me to a lot of different things
177
that I might potentially want to do in the future
178
But for now I really enjoy what i'm doing and i'm so happy Yeah, just try not to put too much pressure on yourself and try things.
179
That's my best advice
180
anyways i love you guys i'm gonna go to sleep i'm
181
falling asleep i think as i'm saying this thanks for watching and i'll see you in my next video bye

FOR YOU
推薦影片
為什麼這個影片是練習口語的好材料?
這段影片以年輕人的真實生活為切入點,內容貼近日常,用詞簡單卻生動,非常適合用來練習“shadow speak”(影子跟讀法)。影片裡的表達自然流暢,沒有刻意的演講腔,比如“我總是在懷疑自己的職業選擇”“和朋友打電話都要提前安排”,這些都是20多歲年輕人常說的話,能幫助學習者掌握最地道的口語用法。而且,影片節奏適中,語速不快,很適合初學者模仿發音和語調,對於“提高英語發音”有很大幫助。
拆解地道表達,學習自然口語
- “I significantly more productive when I leave”:這裡省略了“am”,是口語中常見的簡化表達,讓句子更簡潔自然。學習者模仿時可以注意這種口語化的省略,避免過於刻板。
- “I feel some sort of deep attachment to it”:“some sort of”表示“某種”,比直接說“a deep attachment”更委婉,符合日常說話的習慣。這種模糊表達在口語中很常用,能讓語言更生動。
- “being in my 20s truly is just full of mini resets”:“mini resets”用“小重置”來形容20多歲時不斷調整的狀態,非常形象。學習者可以學習這種用簡單詞彙創造生動表達的方法。
簡單有效的“看YouTube學英語”練習法
利用這個影片練習口語,推薦使用“影子跟讀法”:首先完整看一遍影片,理解內容;然後逐句播放,每句暫停後立即跟讀,儘量模仿發音、語調和節奏;最後把自己的跟讀錄音和原影片對比,找出差異。每天花15分鐘,堅持一週,就能明顯感受到口語的進步。如果覺得自己練習有困難,可以找一個“shadowing site”(影子跟讀網站)輔助,通過重複和對比,快速提升口語流暢度。記住,練習口語貴在堅持,哪怕每天只學一句,也能積累進步!
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | I've been trying · I've been doing |
| 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 worn · it's been · haven't gone |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might be · may be · might think |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | was trying · was waiting |
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。
