跟读练习: 5 Common British English Expressions (Episode 3) - 通过视频学习英语口语

hello

and welcome back to English with Lucy today we have another

episode of my fabulous five common British expressions now before we

get started make sure you connect with me on all my social media

which is right here

and I've got my Instagram account obviously you can subscribe to my YouTube you can also like me on Facebook

and for my Chinese followers I have my Weibo account as well okay

so our first expression is a piece of cake

and this is very similar to easy peasy lemon squeezy

which we've discussed in a previous video and basically it means very easy

so I might come out of a particularly easy exam saying

that exam was a piece of cake that exam was really easy

so number two break a leg actually looks really rather cruel

but I promise you it's positive And break a leg means good luck, so before a race, before a job interview,

before a test, instead of saying good luck, I might say break a leg.

Do really well.

So since we're talking about legs, let's bring arms into the equation as well.

Number three is it cost an arm and a leg.

And this basically means something was really expensive.

If I say my bag cost an arm and a leg, I mean it cost a lot of money.

Now the next one isn't particularly nice.

It is to pop one's clogs and this actually means to die but we use it quite affectionately.

It's like a nice way of saying that someone's died.

So I'm going to a funeral this Sunday.

My neighbour's popped his clogs.

It's a way of saying my neighbour's died

but we don't want to say the death word so we say they've got their clogs.

And then we have number five, to call it a day.

And this means to end a task.

So for example, I'm feeling a bit tired, I think I'll call it a day.

And that means I think I'll stop here, let's finish.

So as we've come to number five, I think I'll call it a day now.

Bye!

Thank you so much for watching this episode of Five Common British Expressions.

I hope you liked it

and I hope you learned something make sure you connect with all my social media as I said before

and have a very lovely week bye this wine is off

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。
