1
You know words like although,
2
because, if, when, and but.
3
But what happens when you want to express a more complicated thought?
4
You start speaking, then stop.
5
You change the sentence, start again,
6
and suddenly an idea that sounded perfectly clear in your head becomes difficult to explain.
7
Here's the problem.
8
At B2 and C1 level, you usually don't need more basic vocabulary.
9
You need to become better at connecting the English you already know.
10
And that's exactly what we're going to train today.
11
Stay with me until the end of this lesson
12
because we're going to move from simply understanding connected English to actually speaking it naturally yourself.
13
Hello everyone and welcome back to English Fluency Teacher.
14
Today's lesson focuses on one of the biggest differences between basic English and natural Confident English,
15
connecting your ideas smoothly.
16
Imagine someone asks, what do you want to do this weekend?
17
A basic answer might sound like this.
18
I want to go hiking.
19
It might rain.
20
Maybe we can go somewhere else.
21
Every sentence is correct, but a more natural speaker might say, I'd love to go hiking,
22
provided that the weather stays dry.
23
Otherwise, we can choose something indoors.
24
Same ideas, but now they're connected.
25
That's what we're working on today, and we're going to practice it differently.
26
Today's lesson has two parts.
27
First, you'll listen to a complete B2 to C1 conversation between me, Sophia, and Daniel.
28
Don't repeat anything yet, just follow the conversation.
29
Listen for how they compare different options,
30
express preferences, change plans, give conditions,
31
prepare for possible problems, and connect one thought naturally to the next.
32
You'll hear expressions such as, I'd rather, rather than, whether,
33
whereas, as soon as, in case,
34
provided that, even if, as long as, and by the time.
35
Don't try to memorize them while listening.
36
Just notice how naturally they appear inside the conversation.
37
After that, we'll go through the conversation again.
38
This time you'll repeat each sentence once after me.
39
And because your English is becoming more advanced, we're going to keep the practice closer to real spoken English.
40
I won't deliberately slow every sentence down.
41
I'll speak at a natural conversational pace.
42
Listen to the complete thought first, then repeat it once.
43
Try to copy the rhythm.
44
sentence stress, connected speech, and emotion.
45
After we've shadowed the conversation, I'll give you a few additional B2 to C1 sentences using the same kinds of structures.
46
Those extra sentences will help you transfer the patterns into other situations instead of only remembering today's conversation.
47
So first, listen and understand.
48
Then, listen, repeat and speak.
49
Let's begin.
50
Part 1.
51
Listen naturally.
52
I'm glad you could meet today.
53
Have you decided what we're doing this weekend?
54
Not completely.
55
I'd rather choose something relaxing than spend the whole weekend rushing around.
56
I understand.
57
The thing is, Daniel has already suggested several different activities. That doesn't surprise me.
58
He plans weekends as if we have unlimited energy.
59
Apparently he wants to go hiking on Saturday and attend a concert afterward.
60
Not only does that sound exhausting, but it would also be quite expensive.
61
That's exactly what I thought.
62
Why don't we choose one activity rather than trying to do everything?
63
I'd prefer that.
64
Whether we go hiking depends on the weather anyway.
65
As far as I know, there's a good chance of rain on Saturday.
66
In that case, we'd better have another option ready.
67
We could visit the new indoor market in case the weather gets worse.
68
That sounds much more practical.
69
Did Daniel say where we're supposed to meet him?
70
Outside the bookstore.
71
He said he'd call as soon as he arrived.
72
We've been walking for 20 minutes, whereas he lives five minutes away.
73
That's Daniel.
74
The closer he lives, the later he seems to arrive.
75
You'd better not tell him I laughed at that.
76
Don't worry.
77
As long as you don't mention his terrible time management, we'll be fine.
78
Look, there he is.
79
Sorry I'm late.
80
It turns out that the road near my apartment is closed.
81
We were beginning to wonder whether you'd forgotten about us.
82
I wouldn't forget.
83
I brought this guidebook so that we could decide what to do.
84
We've actually been discussing that already.
85
Great.
86
What did you decide?
87
Rather than planning ten activities, we'd like to choose one or two.
88
I'd love to go, provided that the weather stays dry.
89
Even if it rains a little, we could still go.
90
You say that as if getting soaked is part of the experience.
91
Sometimes it is.
92
No matter how enthusiastic you are, I'm not hiking through heavy rain.
93
I've checked the forecast again, and Saturday looks worse than we expected.
94
So I suppose hiking is no longer a realistic option.
95
On the other hand, the indoor market is open until 9.
96
And there's a live music event there in the evening.
97
That actually sounds better than my original plan.
98
See?
99
There's no point in forcing a plan when something better comes along.
100
I'm starting to understand where you're coming from.
101
We could meet around noon so that nobody has to wake up too early. That works for me.
102
By the time we finish lunch, the music area should already be open.
103
Exactly.
104
Meanwhile, we can explore the shops and cafes.
105
Should we book a table somewhere?
106
I'd rather decide when we arrive.
107
That's fine, although we might have to wait if the place gets busy.
108
I'll bring a charger in case my phone battery runs low.
109
And I'll bring an umbrella in case we decide to walk afterward.
110
Look at us.
111
We're finally preparing for things rather than pretending everything will go perfectly.
112
That's progress.
113
that neither of you changes the plan tomorrow.
114
No promises.
115
The thing is, changing plans is sometimes half the fun.
116
As long as we actually leave the house this time, I'll be happy.
117
Deal.
118
I'll message both of you as soon as I wake up.
119
I'd be surprised if Daniel is awake before you.
120
That's a fair point, but I'm working on it.
121
Part 2.
122
Shadowing Practice Excellent.
123
You've now heard the complete conversation.
124
This time, you're going to speak it yourself.
125
Remember, I'll say each sentence once.
126
Then you'll repeat it once.
127
Don't break the sentence into individual words.
128
Listen for thought groups.
129
For example, I'd love to go, provided that the weather stays dry.
130
Hear the idea, then reproduce the complete sentence naturally.
131
Ready?
132
Let's begin!
133
I'm glad you could meet today.
134
Have you decided what we're doing this weekend?
135
Not completely, because I'd rather do something relaxing than spend the whole weekend rushing around.
136
The thing is, Daniel has already suggested several different activities. That doesn't surprise me.
137
He plans weekends as if we have unlimited energy.
138
Apparently, he wants to go hiking on Saturday and attend a concert afterward.
139
Not only does that sound exhausting, but it would also be quite expensive.
140
That's exactly what I thought, so I'd prefer to choose only one main activity.
141
Why don't we do that, rather than trying to fit everything into one day?
142
I prefer that, although whether we go hiking depends on the weather.
143
As far as I know, there's a good chance of rain on Saturday.
144
In that case we'd better have another option ready.
145
We could visit the new indoor market in case the weather gets worse.
146
That sounds much more practical.
147
Exactly, and we'll still have something enjoyable to do even if it rains.
148
Did Daniel say where we're supposed to meet him?
149
the bookstore and he said he'd call as soon as he arrived.
150
We've been walking for 20 minutes whereas he lives only five minutes away.
151
That's Daniel.
152
The closer he lives, the later he seems to arrive.
153
You'd better not tell him I laughed at that.
154
As long as you don't mention his terrible time management, we'll be fine.
155
Look, there he is now.
156
Sorry I'm late.
157
It turns out that the road near my apartment is closed.
158
We were beginning to wonder whether you'd forgotten about us.
159
I brought this guidebook so that we could decide what to do.
160
We've actually been discussing that already.
161
Great, so what did you decide?
162
Rather than planning 10 activities, we'd like to choose one or two.
163
Fair enough.
164
What about hiking?
165
I'd love to go, provided that the weather stays dry.
166
Even if it rains a little, we could probably still go.
167
Excellent!
168
Two especially useful patterns there were provided that and as long as.
169
Both allow you to express a condition naturally.
170
Instead of saying I will go, the weather must be good, you can connect the thought I'll go, provided that the weather stays good.
171
Let's continue.
172
I've checked the forecast again and Saturday looks worse than we expected.
173
In that case I suppose hiking is no longer a realistic option.
174
On the other hand, the indoor market is open until 9.
175
There's also a live music event there in the evening.
176
That actually sounds better than my original plan.
177
There's no point in forcing a plan when something better comes along.
178
We could meet around noon so that nobody has to wake up too early.
179
By the time we finish lunch, the music area should already be open.
180
Meanwhile, we can explore the shops and cafes.
181
Should we book a table somewhere before we go?
182
I'd rather decide when we arrive.
183
We might have to wait if the place gets busy.
184
I'll bring a charger in case my phone battery runs low.
185
I'll bring an umbrella in case we decide to walk afterward.
186
We're finally preparing for problems rather than assuming everything will go perfectly.
187
As long as we actually leave the house this time, I'll consider that progress.
188
You've now shadowed the entire conversation, but I don't want you to associate these structures with only one weekend plan.
189
So let's finish with 10 additional sentences using the same B2 to C1 patterns in completely different situations.
190
This is where you begin transferring the language into your own English.
191
I'd rather wait a little longer than make the wrong decision.
192
Whether you agree or not, I think we should discuss it calmly.
193
By the time we reached the station, the train had already left.
194
Once you've made a decision, let me know immediately.
195
I'll save the address in case we need it again.
196
No matter how difficult it feels, don't stop practicing.
197
Instead of focusing on every mistake, try to communicate the main idea.
198
The more I practice speaking, the less nervous I become.
199
There's no guarantee that everything will work exactly as expected.
200
Outstanding work!
201
Today you didn't simply practice advanced expressions in isolation.
202
first heard them working inside a natural conversation and then you produce those same patterns yourself.
203
That's an important difference because knowing that provided that means
204
if isn't the same as being able to say I'd love to go provided that the weather stays dry.
205
Knowing the meaning of by the time isn't enough either.
206
You want sentences such as By the time we finish lunch,
207
the music area should already be open to begin feeling natural in your mouth.
208
And that's what repeated speaking practice helps you develop.
209
Today you practiced how to express preferences with I'd rather, choose alternatives with rather than,
210
discuss uncertainty with whether, compare ideas with whereas.
211
Talk about timing with as soon as and by the time.
212
Prepare for possibilities with in case.
213
Express conditions with provided that and as long as.
214
Introduce contrast with on the other hand and organize thoughts using expressions such as the thing is and it turns out.
215
Don't try to use all of them tomorrow.
216
Choose just two or three patterns.
217
Then intentionally use those patterns when you speak English.
218
And if you completed today's natural speed shadowing session, write, I'm connecting my ideas naturally.

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。
