Lesson 1 Family Let's begin our study of collocations by learning some common expressions about the family.
2
Your parents and siblings, brothers and sisters, are your immediate family, and your extended family includes all your relatives,
3
uncles, cousins, great-aunts, etc. You can use a family tree to diagram the relationships among your family members.
4
A person who is related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.
5
If you're lucky, you have a loving family, or a close-knit family.
6
These expressions refer to a family that has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other.
7
If you were raised in a loving family, then you probably had a carefree childhood.
8
That means you had nothing to worry about when you were young.
9
On the other hand, a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy can be called a dysfunctional family.
10
If the children experience abuse, poverty, or problems with the law, we can say they had a troubled childhood.
11
Perhaps the parents went through a bitter divorce.
12
That means a separation in which there were bad or angry feelings between the husband and wife.
13
It's also possible to have a messy divorce,
14
with a prolonged legal battle involving lots of conflicts about the separation of the former couple's assets, money, and possessions.
15
The decisions about the separation of assets are made in the divorce settlement.
16
A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.
17
Sometimes the mother and father fight over custody of the children.
18
That refers to who has the primary responsibility of caring for the kids.
19
A judge can grant joint custody.
20
that means the ex-husband and ex-wife share the responsibility, or sole custody to only one parent.
21
For example, a judge might award sole custody to the mother, and the father has to pay child support,
22
regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.
23
If it was a mutual divorce or separation, that means the ex-husband and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting,
24
then they will probably stay on good terms with each other, meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts.
25
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship, then she will become a single mother.
26
Some women in this situation choose to have an abortion, and others prefer to give the baby up for adoption.
27
The time when the baby is planned to arrive is called the due date.
28
You can also say the baby is due in mid-October, for example.
29
After the woman has the baby or gives birth to the baby, the baby is given to the adoptive parents,
30
who will raise the child or bring up the child as if it was their own.
31
Sometimes when the adopted child is older, he or she tries to find their birth mother, biological mother.
32
Now take the quiz for Lesson 1, Collocations About Family.

你能学到什么

本节课围绕“家庭”主题,帮助你掌握3项实用口语技能:1. 准确使用家庭关系相关的固定搭配(如“immediate family”核心家庭、“broken home”破碎家庭);2. 描述家庭状况与童年经历的常用表达(如“carefree childhood”无忧无虑的童年、“bitter divorce”激烈的离婚);3. 谈论收养与监护权等场景的专业术语(如“joint custody”共同监护、“child support”抚养费)。这些表达不仅适用于日常交流,也是雅思口语练习中的高频内容。

注意这些发音现象

视频中存在多处连读与弱读,需重点关注:1. “a lot of”连读为/ə lɒt əv/;2. “give up”弱读为/ɡɪv ʌp/;3. “birth mother”连读为/bɜːθ ˈmʌðə(r)/。此外,“dysfunctional family”中的重音在“dys-”上,“adoptive parents”则重读“ad-”。这些细节能让你的口语更贴近 native speaker。

像母语者一样表达

模仿视频中的节奏与重音是关键。例如,说“close-knit family”时,重读“close”和“knit”以强调家庭的紧密;“mutual divorce”则重读“mutual”突出双方共识。练习时可采用“shadow speak”(影子跟读)法:播放一句视频内容,立即跟读,重复3-5次,重点匹配语速与语调。若需系统训练,可寻找专业的shadowing site,结合雅思口语练习话题进行针对性训练。坚持一周,你会发现自己的口语流畅度与自然度显著提升。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的is related · were raised · can be called
“will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测will probably stay · will become · will raise

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
