Hey there, welcome back to the Slow English Podcast.
2
I'm Mark.
3
It's really good to have you here.
4
Today, we're going to talk about something that touches all of our lives at some point.
5
It can be exciting, but also a bit scary.
6
It can make us feel hopeful, but also a little lost.
7
The topic is change.
8
Change means when something becomes different.
9
Sometimes change is small.
10
Other times it's big.
11
It can happen slowly over time or it can come suddenly like a storm.
12
When I was younger I really didn't like change.
13
I liked having the same routine every day.
14
Routine means the things you do regularly, like brushing your teeth in the morning or walking your dog after dinner.
15
My routine made me feel safe.
16
It gave me a sense of control.
17
I knew what to expect, but over time I started to realise something.
18
Without change, we don't grow.
19
Grow means to become better, wiser or stronger over time.
20
Think about a tree.
21
It starts small, like a seed.
22
But with time, water and sunlight, it grows into something strong and beautiful.
23
People are like that too.
24
We need new experiences to grow.
25
One big change I went through was moving to a new city.
26
I had never lived away from my hometown before.
27
At first, it was exciting.
28
Everything was new.
29
New streets, new people, new food.
30
But then, the excitement faded.
31
I started to feel lonely.
32
I miss my friends.
33
I miss the places I used to go.
34
That's when change started to feel hard.
35
lonely means feeling alone or like no one understands you.
36
It's not a nice feeling, but sometimes feeling lonely helps us understand what really matters.
37
During those first few months in the new city, I spent a lot of time walking.
38
I didn't know anyone, so I just explored.
39
One day, I found a small park.
40
It had a little pond, some benches, and lots of birds.
41
I started going there every morning.
42
It became part of my new routine.
43
Little by little, I met people.
44
A man who walked his dog at the same time as me.
45
An older woman who fed the birds.
46
A kid who liked to draw pictures of ducks.
47
We started saying hello hello, then small conversations, and soon I didn't feel so lonely anymore.
48
That's something change teaches us.
49
Even when it feels difficult at first, if we stay open, we find our way.
50
Open.
51
In this case, means willing to try new things or meet new people.
52
Another time in my life, I had to change jobs.
53
I had worked at the same place for five years.
54
I knew the work.
55
I knew the people.
56
I was comfortable.
57
But the company closed.
58
Suddenly I had no job.
59
No plan.
60
I was scared.
61
Scared means afraid or worried about something.
62
I didn't know what would happen next, but I had to act.
63
I updated my resume.
64
I started applying for jobs.
65
I went to interviews.
66
At first, I got a lot of rejections.
67
That felt painful.
68
But each interview helped me get better.
69
Each failure helped me learn.
70
Eventually, I got a new job.
71
And guess what?
72
It turned out to be a better fit for me.
73
I liked the people more.
74
I enjoyed the work more.
75
And I felt proud of myself for getting through that hard time.
76
That's something I always try to remember.
77
Sometimes change pushes us into something better, even if we can't see it right away.
78
Let's take a moment to talk about personal changes, changes inside of us, like the way we think or feel.
79
There was a time when I used to get angry easily.
80
Small things would bother me.
81
A late bus, a noisy neighbour, even someone chewing loudly.
82
I didn't like feeling that way.
83
So I decided to work on it.
84
I started meditating.
85
Meditating means sitting quietly and focusing on your breath or thoughts to feel calm.
86
At first it was hard.
87
My mind was always busy.
88
But over time I noticed something.
89
I was less angry, more patient, more calm.
90
That change didn't happen overnight.
91
Overnight means very quickly, from one day to the next.
92
But with time, I felt different, better, more at peace.
93
That's the thing about inner change.
94
It takes time, it takes effort, but it can be powerful.
95
Some changes are chosen, others are not.
96
Like losing someone you love.
97
That's one of the hardest changes of all.
98
When my grandfather passed away, I felt a deep sadness.
99
He had been such a big part of my life.
100
He told the best stories.
101
He made the best soup.
102
He always knew how to make people laugh.
103
After he was gone, everything felt different.
104
I missed him so much.
105
But over time, I started to remember the good things more than the sad ones.
106
That's what grief is like.
107
Grief means the deep sadness we feel when we lose someone or something important.
108
Grief changes us.
109
It breaks us a little, but it also softens us.
110
It helps us understand love and how precious time is.
111
Let me tell you something I learned from all these experiences.
112
change is not the enemy it's not something to run from
113
it's something to understand to work with to grow through of course change still scares me sometimes
114
but now I try to meet it like a friend I ask it what are you here to teach me
115
and usually it has an answer not right away but eventually.
116
So if you're going through a change right now, big or small, know that you are not alone.
117
We all go through it and we all come out stronger on the other side.
118
Let's review today's vocabulary.
119

120
When something becomes different.
121

140
Take care of yourself.
141
And remember, change is part of life.
142
It's part of growing.
143
This is Mark.

關於本課
歡迎來到這節英語學習課程！在本課中，您將通過分析“變化”這一主題，來提升您的英語口語能力。您將練習如何用英語表達對變化的看法和感受，瞭解變化在我們生活中的重要性，並學會如何在面對變化時保持開放的心態。通過這個影片，您將獲得提高英語口語的機會，掌握用簡單的英語講述個人經歷的技巧。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 變化 (change)：表示事物的不同或變化。
- 例行公事 (routine)：指定期進行的事情，如每天早晨刷牙。
- 成長 (grow)：意味著隨著時間的推移變得更好或更強。
- 孤獨 (lonely)：指感覺獨自一人或沒有人理解的狀態。
- 探索 (explore)：意味著去發現或檢視新的地方。
- 歡迎 (hello)：一個簡單但重要的問候。
- 小公園 (small park)：可以是休閒放鬆的地方。
- 小對話 (small conversations)：與人交談的簡單交流。
練習建議
為了有效提高您的英語口語，建議您開始進行英語影子跟讀。選擇影片中的一個段落，在每一句話後暫停，模仿說話者的語調和節奏。由於這個影片的語速較慢，非常適合初學者進行口語練習。您可以反覆播放段落，幫助您提高發音的準確性和流利度。
在您跟讀時，請注意shadow speech中的情感表達，尤其是描述對變化的感受。在您實踐的同時，可以嘗試以自己的經歷新增更多的內容，幫助加深理解。例如，您可以分享自己的例子，如何在生活中面對變化，利用這個機會促進與他人的交流。
無論是通過看YouTube學英語，還是其他方式，保持對變化的開放心態會讓您在學習英語的旅程中獲得更大的樂趣和成就感。記住，變化雖然有時感到困難，但它也可以帶來新的體驗和成長。繼續練習，享受每一次的進步！
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 |
|---|---|
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態，現在已不再如此 | used to go · used to get |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | man who walked · woman who fed · kid who liked |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the hardest · the best |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | started saying · started applying · started meditating |
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。
