So today I'm gonna talk about productivity.
6
This is a great topic to talk about because everybody wants to be productive.
7
What does productivity mean?
8
If you're productive it means you produce a lot.
9
It means that you see good results from your effort or work.
10
So let's talk about some ways we can be productive.
11
The first way we can be productive is by waking up early.
12
I know that many of you don't like this advice.
13
Not many people like waking up early.
14
I wake up pretty early but it's not easy for me.
15
I usually wake up at 6 a.m every day.
16
This is early but some people wake up earlier than me like at 5 a.m.
17
I wake up early so I can be more productive every day.
18
My official work starts at 7.30 a.m
19
but since I wake up at 6 I can do more things before I start working.
20
For example, I read a little bit in the morning and I study languages.
21
I usually read for about 15 minutes and I can study languages for about 50 minutes.
22
If I don't do this in the morning,
23
I might not have time to do it later.
24
So I do all this before my work starts.
25
I'm pretty productive in the morning.
26
How about you?
27
Are you productive in the morning?
28
Okay, another way we can be productive is by removing distractions.
29
A distraction is something that doesn't let you focus on your work.
30
For example, if you're trying to work and you hear dogs barking outside,
31
that might make you lose focus.
32
Some distractions are hard to remove,
33
like your neighbor's dog, but other distractions are easy to remove.
34
For instance, you can silence your cell phone.
35
If you hear your phone vibrate or ring you usually want to look at your phone.
36
When my phone vibrates I sometimes get distracted.
37
If you want to remove this distraction you can put your phone on silent or on airplane mode.
38
For some people this is hard.
39
Some people don't want to ignore their phone calls and messages.
40
They think that it's very important to check their phone.
41
This might be true, but it's also important to finish your work.
42
If you silence your phone,
43
it can help you finish your work faster.
44
So removing distractions like this can be very helpful.
45
Okay, another way we can be more productive is by making sure that we're comfortable when we work.
46
For example, if you're in an uncomfortable chair,
47
or if you feel hot or cold you might be less productive when you're working.
48
In my case, I don't work well if my chair is uncomfortable.
49
Usually my back hurts and I want to change positions.
50
So I need to sit in a comfortable chair when I work.
51
Sometimes I sit on my couch when I work because it's comfortable there.
52
This helps me be more productive.
53
Alright, one more way that we can be productive is by setting goals.
54
In my opinion this is the best way to be productive.
55
If you set goals for yourself you feel motivated to work.
56
You want to achieve your goals.
57
I always set goals for myself to help me be productive.
58
It's good to set short-term and long-term goals.
59
A short-term goal is a goal you want to achieve soon.
60
A long-term goal is a goal you want to achieve after a long time.
61
You can set short-term and long-term goals to help you learn English.
62
For example, maybe your short-term goal is to watch all my A1 listening practice videos by next month.
63
And maybe your long-term goal can be to read a whole book in English by the end of the year.
64
You can set many types of goals for yourself.
65
I like to set daily goals too.
66
This helps me be productive every day.
67
For instance, each day my goal is to practice my listening in French for one hour.
68
Every day when I complete this hour I feel great.
69
I know that I accomplished my goal.
70
Okay, I hope you can use these tips to help you be more productive.
71
Now I'm gonna ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.

Number one, what's one activity I do before I start my work in the morning?

为了最大程度地提高您的英语发音和听力理解，建议您在观看视频时尝试“shadow speak”练习。您可以跟随视频的语速和语调进行模仿练习，这将帮助您更好地掌握音调和节奏。在学习过程中，您可以选择将视频速度调整到适合自己的节奏，这样更有助于提高您的发音技巧和口语流利度。
同时，利用“看YouTube学英语”的方式，确保您在相对安静、舒适的环境中练习，以减少干扰因素。例如，可以将手机设置为静音，专注于视频内容。在跟读时，尝试用不同的语气和情感表达，以提升您在“雅思口语练习”时的表现。记得每次练习的目标应明确，比如提高您的表达流利度或增加词汇使用频率。
通过这一系列练习，您将不断提升自己的英语能力，达到更高的交流自信，逐步迈向更高层次的英语学习成就。
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。
