Hello.
2
Welcome to Real Easy English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Georgie.
4
And I'm Neil.
5
We're here to help you improve your English with a real conversation in Easy English.

If you want to read along, you can find a text version of this podcast at bbclearningenglish.com.
7
Right, let's start the show.
8
How are you today, Neil?
9
I'm very well, thank you, Georgie.
10
What are we talking about in this episode?
11
Today is all about friends.
12
We'll talk a bit about our friends and why they are important.
13
Great, let's get started.
14
So, Neil, do you have a lot of friends?
15
Yes, I do have quite a few friends.
16
How about you?
17
Yes, I also have quite a lot of friends.
18
I've lived in different places,
19
so I have made friends in lots of different areas and times of my life.
20
So, Georgie, you said that you have lived in lots of places and I know you have lived in Spain.
21
So, do you have lots of friends in Spain?
22
Yes, I have a few friends in Spain but now that I live in London, it's quite difficult to stay in touch with them.
23
But, actually, one of them is coming to visit this weekend.
24
Ah, so you try to keep in touch with some of your friends.
25
That means to keep contact with them, to make sure that you stay friends by speaking to them.
26
Yes, exactly.
27
And if you have a lot of friends, it can be difficult to stay in touch with so many.
28
What do you like to do with your friends, Neil?
29
Well, I like to talk to them mainly.
30
So I like to meet them maybe in a pub
31
or a restaurant or we go to a sports match sometimes and we talk there and have a good time.
32
That sounds nice.
33
How about you?
34
Yes, I'm the same.
35
During the week I think a nice plan is to go out for dinner with friends.
36
At the weekends, I like going for a walk or getting a coffee with friends.
37
You can do both of those at the same time.
38
Yeah, that's right.
39
Sometimes I meet friends, we get a coffee to take away and then go for a walk around the park.
40
And are you happy about the number of friends you have or would you like to have more or fewer?
41
I always like making new friends.
42
If you start a new hobby or you move to a different place, there are always more people and new people to meet.
43
I like making friends.
44
What about you?
45
Yes, but I like to see my old friends and if I make new friends, I know it's something that happen slowly and that's OK.
46
Now, we have used this word friends a lot, but there are other words for friends too, aren't there?
47
Yes.
48
One is mate.
49
I use mate a lot.
50
We also use pal.
51
So, sometimes I refer to my friends that are girls as gal pals.
52
Gal pals.
53
That's a nice expression.
54
So Neil, why are friends important to you?
55
Ah, yes.
56
Good question.
57
Friends are important, I think, because you can be yourself with your friends.
58
You don't have to pretend if they're good friends because they know you as you are.
59
And that's not the same everywhere that you go in life.
60
Yep, that's true.
61
Let's recap the language we learned during the conversation.
62
We learned mates and pals, which are other words for friends.
63
We heard keep in touch with, which means see or speak to someone regularly.
64
We also say stay in touch.
65
And a few, which means more than two, but not many.
66
So I have a few friends in Spain, but not many.
67
Thanks for listening to Real Easy English.

对话背景:聊聊朋友
这段来自BBC英语学习的对话围绕“朋友”展开,乔治和尼尔分享了各自的交友经历、与朋友相处的方式,还提到了“mate”“pal”等朋友的同义词。对话内容贴近日常生活,语言简洁易懂,非常适合用于雅思口语练习和英语影子跟读训练,能帮助学习者掌握实用的交际表达。
日常交际高频短语5则
- stay in touch with:保持联系。如“现在住在伦敦,很难和西班牙的朋友保持联系”。
- take away:外带。如“买一杯外带咖啡,然后去公园散步”。
- quite a few:相当多。如“我有相当多的朋友”。
- slowly but surely:慢慢来。对话中虽未直接出现,但可用于表达“交朋友需要慢慢来”。
- have a good time:玩得开心。如“去看体育比赛,聊聊天,玩得很开心”。
影子跟读(shadowspeak)分步指南
针对这段对话进行英语影子跟读训练,可按以下步骤操作:
步骤1:熟悉内容
先完整听一遍对话,理解大意。重点关注“朋友”相关表达和日常活动描述,为shadow speech做准备。
步骤2:逐句跟读
播放一句,暂停,跟读一句。注意模仿语调(如尼尔说“我喜欢交朋友”时的轻松语气)和节奏。这一步对雅思口语练习尤为重要,能提升流利度。
步骤3:同步跟读
尝试与音频同步跟读,间隔时间逐渐缩短。若跟不上,可降低语速。此环节能有效训练反应能力,是shadow speak的核心技巧。
步骤4:复盘纠错
录音对比,检查发音(如“mate”“pal”的英式发音)和停顿是否准确。反复练习易错短语,如“stay in touch with”。
通过以上步骤,结合对话中的实用表达,坚持训练可快速提升口语水平,无论是日常交际还是雅思口语练习都能得心应手。
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 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | I've lived · have made · have lived |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | pals, which are · with, which means · few, which means |
| “will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测 | 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。
