You give short answers and then the conversation ends.

You want to keep speaking like a fluent English speaker, but there's one simple trick you don't know.

That trick is to always explain why.

And in this lesson, I'll show you exactly how to do it, even if your vocabulary isn't perfect.

Are you ready?

Well then, I'm teacher Tiffany.

Let's jump right in.

Understanding the why.

Explaining why is essential for fluent English conversation.

It helps you express your thoughts clearly and keep conversations flowing naturally.

Now there are three reasons for the why aspect of a conversation.

Reason number one, it creates a natural conversation flow.

When you explain why you naturally extend the conversation

and give others something to respond to when you add the why to your conversation.

So let's check out an example to understand this a little bit better.

I want you to imagine that you're sharing your food preferences.

Remember, we're speaking about reason number one for the importance of the why aspect of conversations.

Reason being creating natural conversation flow.

We're speaking about sharing food preferences and you give a basic response.

I love Italian food.

That's a basic response, but why is this not effective?

It's not effective because this statement ends the conversation without inviting further discussion.

Remember we're on reason number one, the why aspect of a conversation creates the flow.

So with this basic response, I love Italian food.

There's no why, which means the conversation ends.

So let's see what this would look like if we add reasons.

So speaking again about sharing food preferences.

Now here's the response.

I love Italian food because the fresh ingredients are always high quality.

The cooking methods are simple, but effective.

And the dishes have the perfect balance of flavors.

You saw what I did, right?

I simply added why.

I answered the why aspect of the five W's who, what, when, where, and why, I gave three reasons.

Remember why is just representing the reasons for your response.

That's why it was a better response.

What about this example?

Example number two, if we're speaking about your career choices and let's say your basic response is

I want to become a teacher.

I personally think that's a great profession.

You want to become a teacher.

Great response. But why?

Is this not effective?

This doesn't share your motivation or passion for teaching.

Remember we're speaking about the why aspect of a conversation that keeps it flowing naturally.

So how can we change this response?

Here we go again, discussing career choices.

Now adding reasons.

I want to become a teacher because I love helping others learn.

I enjoy creating engaging lesson plans and I want to make a positive impact on students' futures.

I gave you the why, the reasons why I want to be a teacher.

And you see how that ended up leading to a fluent English response.

What about this example?

Example number three.

And the topic is expressing your opinions.

And so your response is, the movie wasn't good.

You're giving your opinion on the topic of movies.

The movie wasn't good.

That's my opinion.

Why is this not effective?

It's not effective though because it doesn't explain your perspective or invite discussion.

It doesn't explain where you're coming from nor does it invite the other person to give their point of view.

How can we change this with the simple trick, adding the why or the reasons.

Here we go.

Again expressing your opinion.

I didn't enjoy the movie because the acting was poor,

the storyline was confusing, and the ending made no sense.

Now we have a support, many supports actually for your opinion.

I didn't like the movie and I've given you three whys or three reasons.

You're catching it, right?

This simple trick is going to change and transform your English fluency.

What about our second reason for the importance of adding the why?

The second reason is it shows critical thinking.

When you add the why explaining your reasons demonstrates that you've thought deeply about your opinions and choices.

Again, when you're able to give reasons, you're showing that you have thought about this for a while.

Look at this example right here.

The topic, making decisions.

The basic response, I chose this university.

That is a good sentence.

That is a decision you made, but why is it not effective?

This doesn't reveal your decision-making process.

Now, if we add reasons or add the why, this is what the response would look like or sound like.

I chose this university because it has an excellent reputation for research,

offers generous scholarships, and is located in a vibrant city with many job opportunities.

Now that's a great response.

Why?

Because I added the why.

In other words, I gave three reasons for my idea, my opinion, my decision.

Makes sense, right?

Excellent.

All right.

Check out this next example.

Now we're going to speak about lifestyle choices and we have a basic response.

I started exercising regularly.

Great response.

I started exercising regularly, but why is this not effective?

This doesn't share your motivation or goals.

Remember, understanding the importance of adding why or adding reasons to your response.

Now let's see what this would sound like.

100

with reasons about lifestyle choices.

101

I started exercising regularly because it boosts my productivity at work,

102

helps me manage my anxiety and keeps me healthy.

103

What did we do?

104

We added three reasons.

105

We answered the why question.

106

Remember who, what, when, where, and why.

107

We answered that by giving three reasons and that's how we got the fluent English response.

108

What about this example?

109

Example number three, travel preferences.

110

Basic response, I prefer traveling in spring.

111

I prefer traveling in spring.

112

Why is this not effective though?

113

This doesn't explain your reasoning or preferences.

114

We don't have any understanding of why you prefer traveling in the spring until we add the reasons or answer the why.

115

Now, speaking about travel preferences, here's the response.

116

I prefer traveling in spring because flights are cheaper.

117

The temperature is perfect for sightseeing and you can enjoy seasonal events like cherry blossom festivals.

118

Now we understand.

119

Now we can add followup questions and the conversation will continue,

120

but we also understand the critical thinking behind your response.

121

You get it right?

122

Excellent.

123

Excellent.

124

All right.

125

Now, what about this reason?

126

Reason number three, explaining why it's so important to add the why to your conversation.

127

Reason number three for the importance of why is it builds deeper connections.

128

When you share your reasons,

129

you help others understand your perspective and find common ground.

130

In other words, they can connect, they can relate to what you are saying.

131

So let's say for example, we have this topic, Discussing hobbies.

132

Your response, I like playing guitar.

133

Very good, but why is this not effective?

134

It's not effective because it doesn't reveal your passion or connection to music.

135

We don't know anything else but the fact that you like guitar.

136

Now let's add reasons.

137

Here we go.

138

With the reasons, again, discussing your hobbies.

139

I like playing guitar because it helps me relax.

140

I enjoy creating my own music and it's a fun way to spend time with friends.

141

This is a simple trick, but it's very powerful.

142

Adding the why, giving three reasons after you say your opinion, after you say your thought, you're seeing how powerful this one simple trick is.

143

Example number two, speaking about your living preferences, your response, I want to live in the city.

144

Why is this not effective though?

145

It's not effective as a response to keep a conversation flowing because this doesn't explain your lifestyle preferences.

146

Remember, explaining the why, giving your reasons helps to connect.

147

So how can we give a better response than I want to live in the city?

148

Here we go.

149

Giving reasons.

150

Again, speaking about living preferences.

151

I want to live in the city because it's convenient for shopping and entertainment.

152

There are better job opportunities and public transportation is easily accessible.

153

You see what happened, right?

154

Giving three reasons your why helps to expand the response and keep the conversation going and make connections.

155

What about this example?

156

Cultural interests.

157

Basic response.

158

I'm learning Korean.

159

Oh really?

160

I'm learning Korean, but why is this not effective?

161

This doesn't share your motivation or cultural interests.

162

We need to understand more.

163

So we have to give reasons.

164

We have to answer the why.

165

Here are the reasons.

166

I'm learning Korean because I'm fascinated by Korean cinema.

167

I want to understand K-pop lyrics without translations.

168

And I plan to visit Seoul next year to experience the culture first hand.

169

Now we have some background information.

170

Now we understand why you're going to do this.

171

Now we are connected and the conversation will continue to flow.

172

Makes sense, right?

173

Excellent.

174

I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

175

Don't forget to continue studying with me.

176

Hit the link in the description.

177

This episode, this lesson was brought to you by the Speak English Like a Native membership,

178

a membership where each month I provide a brand new topic with lessons to help you master

179

that topic and to speak English fluently.

180

So go to speakenglishwithtiffany.com forward slash S E L N.

181

I'll talk to you in the next lesson.

182

Do do do do do do do do.

183

You still there?

184

You know what time it is.

185

It's story time.

186

I said it's story time.

187

All right.

188

So this story is actually connected to my dad and my time in Korea.

189

So just as a point of like to lay this out, I enjoyed my time in South Korea.

190

I was there for 10 years as a missionary and I loved it.

191

I learned so much.

192

This is where I learned that I loved teaching.

193

I learned the language.

194

I enjoyed my time in Korea.

195

However, one of the downsides of me being overseas was that I missed a lot of important events.

196

One of those events was my dad's 60th birthday party.

197

And that was a hard one for me.

198

But my sister and my mom, they organized this big celebration for my dad.

199

and what I decided to do, I wanted to create a special video for my dad.

200

And this video took me a little time to create.

201

It involved me.

202

My dad loves James Brown.

203

He loves music.

204

So I found one of James Brown songs

205

and I went to all of my students

206

and I had them kind of lip sing some of the James Brown song

207

and then I also went to another guy who was Korean

208

that did some leather work and we were friends

209

and I had him so I got many different Koreans to kind of like either lip-sync

210

or kind of dance along

211

and I created this video montage video actually it was a

212

video it was a music video I remember now of where

213

I kind of was sitting like man like what I want to do for my dad

214

or I wish I was there and then I created this music video

215

and it took me some time several hours

216

and they played the music video at my dad's 60th birthday he absolutely loved it

217

and even though I mean again I really wish I was

218

able to be there even though I wasn't there though my dad knew

219

that I was thinking about him and that I had spent time creating something for him and he loved the video.

220

When I think back on that many times, if you're not able to be there for someone in person, it doesn't mean you still can't be there for them.

221

Let me explain.

222

You and I probably have never met in person.

223

However, I'm online and you're watching me either on YouTube

224

or on Facebook or listening to me on the podcast

225

and you're getting some value from the English lessons that you're hearing or watching, right?

226

So I'm there for you even though I'm not physically with you.

227

What's the point?

228

The point is never forget that you can be there for someone even if you're not physically there for them.

229

Start thinking about ways that you can be there for people in your life, in your circle, your family members,

230

your friends, those around you, even your coworkers.

231

How can you be there for other people?

232

Even if you're not physically able to be there with them, how can you let them know that you care about them,

233

that they mean something to you, that you love them.

234

For example, even let's say you bring a coffee or a tea or a hot chocolate to somebody, leave it on their desk.

235

You can't be with them all day because you both have to work.

236

But that little, that little gift in the morning is going to carry them through the day.

237

Wow.

238

My friend really cared about me and knew that I didn't have time because I had to pick up my kids.

239

So she brought this cup of tea for me in the morning or sending a message to someone, a text message or writing them a note.

240

These little things have a long lasting impact.

241

So I hope today you take the time and take the opportunity to do something special for someone you care about.

242

Even if you can't be there with them physically, show them that you care.

243

I'll talk to you in the next lesson.

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。
