Hello and welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have everyday conversations in easy English.
2
I'm Georgie.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
Don't forget to visit our website to find a text version of this podcast so you can read along.
5
Hi Neil, how are things?
6
I'm very well, thank you Georgie.
7
And how about you?
8
How's your week going?
9
My week's going really well, thank you.
10
And I'm excited because later I have choir practice.
11
Ah, choir practice.
12
That means you sing with other people.
13
It does.
14
Well, that's good because we're talking all about hobbies.
15
And those are the activities that we do after work or college or at the weekends.
16
So Neil, I go to choir.
17
Do you have any hobbies?
18
Yes, I also have a musical hobby.
19
I like to play guitar.
20
Nice.
21
How often do you play the guitar?
22
It depends.
23
Sometimes I play for a long time and often.
24
Usually if I've heard a song I like, I want to learn how to play it.
25
And then sometimes I don't play it at all for a while, for weeks.
26
Okay.
27
So you go through phases, I suppose.
28
Yeah.
29
And how about your choir?
30
Tell me more about that.
31
Well, so I go to choir practice weekly, every Monday, and at the moment we're practicing for a Christmas concert.
32
We did just do a concert, which was really fun, and we've got another one, another one coming.
33
Right, OK.
34
And do you really enjoy the singing?
35
How does it make you feel?
36
I love the singing because I put my phone in my bag
37
and I just sing with my friends
38
and we have a really nice group of people that do choir so I really enjoy it.
39
So Neil, you like playing the guitar but maybe there's a new hobby you'd like to try?
40
Yeah, so I've been playing guitar for many years but I don't have any training and I can't read music.
41
So I thought that maybe I should learn piano and learn properly.
42
Oh, that would be good.
43
Then you can play the piano with my choir.
44
OK.
45
When do I start?
46
Next Monday.
47
So do you have any hobbies that aren't musical?
48
Yes.
49
I like doing some exercise.
50
So I like running and I like doing yoga.
51
At the moment, I'm not running regularly.
52
I'm running probably monthly, so once a month, which is not very good.
53
I'd like to run more.
54
Yeah, I also run, but I struggle to do it regularly.
55
I think if you do it twice or three times a week, it's easy to keep going.
56
But once you stop, you stop for a long time.
57
I completely agree.
58
It's difficult to stick to a routine with running, I find.
59
It's very easy to lose your routine.
60
So Georgie, you go to choir regularly, but you don't run regularly.
61
What's this word, regularly?
62
Well, regularly means that you do something often as part of a regular routine.
63
So, for example, I regularly get a coffee when I come to work.
64
So I get a coffee most times I come to work.
65
But I don't regularly buy lunch.
66
I usually bring my own lunch from home.
67
Saves money.
68
Neil, what about unusual hobbies?
69
Do you have any unusual hobbies?
70
I suppose I do.
71
I quite like making sauerkraut.
72
OK, sauerkraut.
73
What is sauerkraut?
74
It's a kind of food.
75
You get some cabbage and you slice it thinly and you add some salt.
76
you crush it and you leave it and after a while it changes into something new, which is very good for your stomach.
77
OK, so why do you like making sauerkraut, Neil?
78
It's very relaxing and it takes a while for it to be right.
79
And I think in today's world we do lots of things that happen very quickly.
80
So it's kind of old-fashioned but satisfying.
81
OK, makes sense.
82
I wouldn't do it, but I'm glad you have found something you love.
83
Well, let's recap the language we learned during the conversation.
84
We heard weekly, which means every week.
85
Yes, and monthly, every month.
86
We heard regularly, often.
87
We also heard the word choir, a group of people who sing together.
88
Yes.

对话背景:聊聊日常爱好

这段视频通过两位主持人Georgie和Neil的闲聊,围绕“爱好”展开自然对话。他们分享了唱歌、弹吉他、跑步等兴趣,对话内容贴近生活,用词简单易懂,非常适合用来练习英语口语和听力。无论是想提高日常交流能力,还是为雅思口语练习积累素材,都能从中学到实用表达。

日常交流必备5句短语

  • How's your week going? 这周过得怎么样?(用来开启话题,询问对方近况)
  • go through phases 有阶段性(描述爱好或行为的周期性变化,比如“我弹吉他有阶段性,有时常弹,有时几周不碰”)
  • practice for a concert 为音乐会排练(实用表达,适用于谈论兴趣活动的具体内容)
  • have a musical hobby 有音乐方面的爱好(简洁描述兴趣类型,可替换为“sports hobby”等)
  • do some exercise 做些运动(日常表达,比“exercise”更口语化)

影子跟读(Shadow Speak)分步指南

这段对话语速适中,话题熟悉,是练习影子跟读的好材料。以下步骤帮你快速掌握:

第一步:先听再模仿,抓住节奏

先完整听一遍对话,注意主持人的语调变化(比如提到爱好时的兴奋感)。然后逐句跟读,重点模仿连读和弱读,比如“how about you”中的“about you”连读,“I'm very well”中的“very”弱读。这能有效提高英语发音的自然度。

第二步:拆解长句,突破难点

对话中像“I like doing some exercise. So I like running and I like doing yoga.”这样的句子,结构简单但包含并列成分。可以先拆分练习,再合并跟读,感受句子的流畅性。

第三步:角色扮演,强化记忆

和搭档分饰Georgie和Neil,模拟对话场景。这不仅能锻炼口语反应,还能帮助记忆实用短语。坚持每天练习10分钟,影子跟读的效果会逐渐显现,对你的雅思口语练习也大有裨益。

记住,学习英语贵在坚持!用这段对话开启你的日常练习,你会发现自己的口语表达越来越自信。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事we're talking · we're practicing · I'm not running
“will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测you'll find · we'll talk

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。
