1
Guess what?
2
Today is International Book Day,
3
or as they say here in Spain,
4
El Dia del Libro, the day of the book,
5
which always makes me laugh.
6
It sounds like a disaster movie,
7
the day of the book,
8
when the books will come and invade earth and kill all of us for not reading enough.
9
Do we read enough?
10
Do we read too much?
11
I don't know.
12
I'm definitely a bookworm.
13
I love going into bookshops,
14
browsing the shelves and the books,
15
and I can't leave without buying something.
16
Recently, I bought this one,
17
ultra-processed people, all about the dangers of ultra-processed food.
18
Also, I couldn't help resist picking up a book about AI,
19
Gary Marcus, leading figure in AI.
20
I'm really interested in AI.
21
But of course, I do love novels as well.
22
I really enjoy a good thriller,
23
murder mystery kind of novel.
24
Listen for the lie, aim it in terror.
25
I guess whatever you like,
26
whether you like novels, biographies,
27
fiction or non-fiction, and whether you prefer paper books like me or digital books,
28
maybe you enjoy reading on the screen or ebooks.
29
Whatever takes your fancy, today is a good day to go and buy a book.
30
International Book Day.
31
Now, a lot of students,
32
not a lot, now and again,
33
one or two students ask me,
34
which books are good for my level?
35
Now, that's really difficult, right?
36
Because A, I don't know your level.
37
And B, how do you choose the right book for you?
38
Well, in some English schools,
39
there's a thing called the rule of five.
40
And you use your five fingers.
41
I'm going to adapt it for adults, right?
42
And for adults who are non-native speakers and here's how it works.
43
Take a book, open the book on any page and read the first five lines more or less.
44
As you read, every time you don't understand a word,
45
you put up a finger.
46
So as you're reading, more words come up.
47
Now, if you read and you've got,
48
so you're reading five lines,
49
five words you don't understand,
50
it's going to be too difficult.
51
Don't try reading that book.
52
You'll spend the whole time looking up words and not enjoying the book.
53
If it's zero words, you don't understand, i.e. you understand everything.
54
It might be too easy,
55
but it could be good.
56
It would be a really good read for improving your fluency, your reading fluency.
57
When you read things that are too easy,
58
you can read quickly and it's a great skill to develop.
59
and you can focus on the story,
60
the plot, the backdrop, everything.
61
The backstory, I mean.
62
So if you discover, okay,
63
one or two words you don't understand, that's about right.
64
That's about the right level.
65
There'll be a bit of a challenge,
66
but you'll be able to manage.
67
If you cannot understand three or four or five words,
68
it's going to be too many.
69
It's probably too difficult.
70
So that's a quick rule of five to help you choose a book if it's right for you.
71
I'm going to leave you with a little reading.
72
I'm going to read an extract from,
73
I thought it was real blood, like what?
74
I'm going to read you an extract from this one,
75
Listen for the Lie.
76
I have read it, it's quite a strong book.
77
I do recommend it, but it's not for the faint-hearted.
78
It is about murder and it is quite bloody,
79
but the story is about Lucy, the main character.
80
Let me read you a short extract.
81
I'm sorry Lucy
82
but we have to let you go he says to the
83
surprise of no one I nod we're downsizing unfortunately he looks
84
at the spot just past my shoulder instead of at my
85
face having assistance double up Chelsea's going to assist both me and Raymond I'm sorry I understand.
86
I get to my feet.
87
Jerry looks relieved that I'm not going to make a scene.
88
Through the ill-advised glass wall of the office,
89
I can see a security guard already standing at my desk.
90
I guess we're not getting the sorry you were fired and being surprised that you're a murderer drinks.
91
My desk is not as clean as Jerry's and I have to take a minute to gather up my mug,
92
water bottle, purse and several tubes of lip balm.
93
The security guard hovers the entire time.
94
He marches me through the now silent office to the elevator where everyone either watches or pretends not to see.
95
Chelsea looks pissed.
96
I step into the elevator.
97
The door slides shut.
98
The security guard leans closer to me with a grin.
99
One of his front teeth overlaps the other.

102

103

104

105

106

107

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在當今的學習環境中，英語口語練習變得尤為重要。這個影片不僅是為了慶祝國際圖書日，更提供了豐富的口語練習機會。聽到發言人談論他的讀書習慣以及他對不同型別書籍的熱愛，可以激發學習者的興趣，並幫助他們在真實的對話中更自信地表達自己的想法。通過模仿影片中的發言，學習者可以掌握更自然的語調和表達方式，從而在雅思口語練習中表現更佳。與發言人交流相似的主題，聽眾可以更深入地理解如何在實際場景中運用英語，促進英語口語練習效果的提升。
語法與表達的語境分析
在影片中，發言人使用了一些關鍵的語法結構和表達方式，以下列出幾個重要的例子：
- 提問形式：“Do we read enough? Do we read too much?” 通過提問，發言人引入了話題，引導聽眾思考。
- 比較與對比：“whether you like novels, biographies, fiction or non-fiction” 這種表達方式有效地展示了不同讀物型別，幫助學習者瞭解如何描述選擇。
- 情態動詞的使用：“I guess whatever you like, whether you prefer paper books or digital books” 使用情態動詞使句子更加靈活，適合各種語境。
這些表達不僅可以幫助學習者在交流中提升自信心，還能有效提高他們的英語發音。
常見發音陷阱
在影片中，有幾個單詞可能會對學習者的發音造成挑戰，特別是在shadow speech和shadowspeak的練習中。以下是一些常見的發音難點：
- “biographies”：這個詞的重音位置可能會導致發音不準確，需要反覆練習以保證清晰。
- “ultra-processed”：這個術語相對較長且複雜，因此學習者需要關注每個音節的發音。
- “fiction”與“non-fiction”：這兩個詞在語音上相似，但意義完全不同。清晰的發音是提高英語口語練習的基礎。
通過專注於這些發音挑戰，學習者不僅可以提高他們的口語流利度，還能顯著改善他們的英文發音。堅持練習將有助於您在各類英語交流場合中表現得更為自信。
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。
