Hello English learners and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
And I'm Erika.
4
Erika, today we are really excited, right?
5
Yeah, we've got a great lesson today all about real English.
6
Exactly, English that you hear in movies and TV shows.
7
Yeah, speaking of movies, today's podcast takes place at the movies.
8
Exactly, and that's why it's so fun today.
9
Uh -huh.
10
Okay, great.
11
So, before we listen to our dialogue, let's take a look at our vocabulary preview.
12
In today's vocabulary preview, we have two words.
13
And the first word is inconsiderate.
14
Inconsiderate.
15
Inconsiderate.
16
So, Erica, what is it when someone is inconsiderate?
17
If someone's inconsiderate, they're not thinking about the feelings of other people.
18
Right.
19
So, for example, yesterday I was on the subway and it was full.
20
Right.
21
And an old lady was standing there and no one got up to give her their seat.
22
That was pretty inconsiderate.
23
Great.
24
So now let's take a look at our second word and it's keep it down.
25
Keep it down.
26
Keep it down.
27
Keep it down.
28
So why don't we listen to some examples on how we use keep it down so we can understand.
29
Example one.
30
Excuse me, do you mind keeping it down?
31
It's after midnight.
32
Okay, I'm sorry.
33
Example 2 I'm trying to study.
34
Do you mind keeping it down?
35
Example 3
36
so that means be quiet yes don't make
37
so much noise i used to hear this one all the time from my mother i think we all did
38
when we were children yeah okay
39
so now let's listen to the dialogue for the first time it's gonna be kind of fast
40
but don't worry about it if you can't understand everything.
41
By the end of today's lesson, you will understand this dialogue.
42
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
43
It's so inconsiderate.
44
Don't worry about it.
45
It's not such a big deal.
46
Oh, I can't hear the thing.
47
Excuse me, can you keep it down?
48
Sure, sorry about that.
49
Someone's phone is ringing.
50
Honey, I think it's your phone.
51
Did you forget to switch it off?
52
Oh no, you're right.
53
That's so embarrassing.
54
Do you mind keeping it down?
55
I'm trying to watch a movie here.
56
Well, I hate it when people's phones ring when I'm watching a movie.
57
I think everyone gets kind of angry, but we're going to talk about this a little bit later.
58
Why don't we take a look now at our language takeaway?
59
Language takeaway.
60
So the language takeaway is our most important words for today's lesson.
61
And our first word today is not such a big deal.
62
Not such a big deal.
63
Not such a big deal.
64
So when something is not a big deal, it's...
65
Not a big problem.
66
It's not important, right?
67
Exactly.
68
Okay, let's listen to some examples.
69
Example one.
70
I can't get these files to you by tomorrow.
71
That's okay.
72
It's not such a big deal.
73
Example two.
74
Uh, I'm really sorry, I'm going to be 10 minutes late for the meeting.
75
It's not such a big deal, Peter and Liam are late too.
76
Now let's look at our second word and it's switch it off.
77
Switch it off.
78
Switch it off.
79
Switch it off.
80
So this word means to turn it off.
81
To turn something off.
82
Now we can use it in three different ways.
83
Yeah, this one is a little bit complicated because it changes a little bit depending on how you use it.
84
So, Marco, I think you've got some examples for us.
85
Right.
86
So, for example, I can say, did you switch off your phone?
87
Or you could say, did you switch your phone off?
88
Right.
89
Or simply you can ask, did you switch it off?
90
I think this one is a little bit hard.
91
Let's look at a couple more examples.
92
Okay, so I can say, for example, switch off the TV.
93
Switch the TV off.
94
Or switch it off.
95
Yeah, I think that's a little bit more clear.
96
Yeah.
97
But you know what?
98
We even had trouble with that one, didn't we?
99
Yeah, we had to do it a couple of times.
100
Okay, now let's look at our last word and it's can't hear a thing.
101
Can't hear a thing.
102
I can't hear a thing.
103
Can't hear a thing.
104
Okay, we have some examples for this phrase, so let's listen.
105
Example 1.
106
What's going on in there?
107
I don't know.
108
I can't hear a thing.
109
Example 2.
110
What?
111
I'm sorry, this music is too loud.
112
I can't hear a thing.
113
So that's like saying, I can't hear.
114
Exactly.
115
I can't hear anything.
116
It's too loud.
117
Right.
118
So now, we are ready to listen to our dialogue a second time.
119
It's going to be slower.
120
This time, listen for some of the key words we were explaining.
121
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
122
It's so inconsiderate.
123
Don't worry about it.
124
It's not such a big deal.
125
I can't hear a thing.
126
Excuse me, can you keep it down? sure sorry about
127
that someone's phone is ringing honey i think it's your phone
128
did you forget to switch it off oh no you're right that's
129
so embarrassing do you mind keeping it down i'm trying to
130
watch a movie here okay great now with the dialogue slower it's really understandable Yeah, I think you could catch those keywords a lot better.
131
Perfect.
132
So now we are ready to look at putting it together.
133
Putting it together.
134
So in putting it together, we help you use a great phrase in different ways.
135
And today's phrase is, do you mind?
136
Do you mind?
137
Do you mind?
138
Okay, so let's listen to some examples on how you can use this phrase in different situations.
139
Example one.
140
Do you mind holding my coat for me?
141
Example two.
142
Oh, I forgot my wallet.
143
Do you mind paying for dinner?
144
Example three.
145
Do you mind turning off your phone?
146
So this phrase is usually pretty polite.
147
I could say to you, Marco, do you mind holding my coat for me?
148
And that's really polite.
149
Yeah.
150
So would you mind?
151
Do you mind?
152
Are very polite phrases.
153
But depending on your voice and how you use your tone, it could be a little bit sarcastic, right?
154
Yeah.
155
It could be a little bit rude if you say, would you mind keeping it down?
156
Exactly.
157
Like we heard in our dialogue.
158
Yeah.
159
So that's not so polite.
160
Yeah, exactly.
161
I mean, In English, you have to be careful because your tone of voice tells the other person how you're feeling, if you're angry, sad, or just like in any other language.
162
Yeah, that's true.
163
So, I mean, using a phrase like, do you mind, is a great phrase, but make sure you keep a positive tone in your voice.
164
Exactly.
165
So now that we've talked about all these great things, we can listen to the dialogue a third time, but it'll be at its normal speed.
166
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
167
It's so inconsiderate.
168
Don't worry about it, it's not such a big deal.
169
No, I can't hear the thing!
170
Excuse me, can you keep it down?
171
Sure, sorry about that.
172
Someone's phone is ringing!
173
Honey, I think it's your phone.
174
Did you forget to switch it off?
175
Oh no, you're right.
176
That's so embarrassing.
177
Do you mind keeping it down?
178
I'm trying to watch a movie here.
179
So I know that in different countries, there are different habits about watching movies.
180
Yeah, that's definitely true.
181
Erica, what's it like in Canada?
182
Well, in Canada, it's really common to eat popcorn and candy and maybe chips while you're watching a movie.
183
But if your phone rings in the movie theater, this is a big problem.
184
I imagine it is.
185
I mean, I would be upset also.
186
What about in Ecuador?
187
Well, in Ecuador and in South America, usually people can bring in food from the outside.
188
Really?
189
Yeah, so it's not really uncommon, depending on the city, to find people bringing in chicken or some sort of like really smelly food.
190
No way.
191
So you get either really hungry or really upset, but that's what happens.
192
You know, I used to live in Switzerland and in Switzerland you would have to eat before you watch the movie.
193
There was no popcorn, no soda, no candy inside the movie theater.
194
Can you imagine that?
195
I could not live with that
196
because the whole purpose of going to the movies is to have some popcorn and relax and have a good time.
197
You can't have a movie without popcorn.
198
Exactly.
199
Okay, so we've talked a lot about how to ask someone to be quiet today.
200
And I hope that you'll go out and try a few of these phrases in your daily life.
201
Bye.
202
Bye.

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。
