1
(upbeat music) - I am Johnathan Grahm and I am the chocolatier and owner of Compartes Chocolate and I'm gonna be your expert for valentines chocolate.
2
I've probably never eaten chocolate like this before so you're gonna be on an adventure with me.
3
It certainly didn't smell chocolaty.
4
It smelled sugary.
5
You know what else, I hate not knowing.
6
This tastes like the candy that you would get when you were a little kid.
7
It's fun, it's candy.
8
It's in a heart shaped box.
9
We've gone a lot bigger as you can see just from the plate.
10
No guide. I'll say it does look nice that there's white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate.
11
If you don't know what the person likes you've got a good variety box in here.
12
This is better than the previous ones.
13
I might even actually just taste another.
14
I don't know what that one is but it's got some crunch to it.
15
There was a snap on the chocolate.
16
If you want chocolate you should actually go for chocolate.
17
Again, dark chocolate, high cocoa content.
18
I think this would be a good gift to give if you were 21, but if you're 30 you need to step up your game.
19
The most happy this makes me is that there is a guide because that means at least I can kind of see what I want to go with instead of mystery chocolate.
20
One that says Honey Buttery Caramel.
21
No snap on this chocolate.
22
It's not honey, it's not buttery.
23
This type of caramel and this type of consistency means preservatives.
24
That really makes me depressed because all the other boxes, I didn't know what I was getting and now the one that I really wanted is such a letdown.
25
The caramel consistency is really nice.
26
It's a nice deep caramel color.
27
The milk chocolate shell is so thick.
28
They've lathered on so much milk chocolate that it overpowers the caramel.
29
If you're just gonna give your valentine milk chocolate, go buy a milk chocolate bar.
30
The milk chocolate quality of this product is the best of the quality that we've tried.
31
I like the butteriness and consistency on the inside of this.
32
This is more of a true truffle cause it has a creamy chocolate center.
33
This one's okay, it's not great.
34
But it's much more inline with my taste and higher end chocolate than what we've been tasting previously.
35
Again, a lot of the pieces we saw before are very generic looking.
36
This is prettier.
37
Not bad. It had the snap.
38
I don't know if you heard it.
39
It's really plain and milk chocolate and simple but it's okay.
40
I'm not mad at it.
41
If you can't afford a really big box of chocolate, get a smaller box that's good.
42
I think that when you're giving a valentines gift, it needs to be unique.
43
You have one day a year to show yourself.
44
You could screw up the chocolate and be sent home.
45
What about making something at home.
46
You could just buy chocolate and melt it down and get some strawberries and dip them and that's so much more unique and special.
47
I just love the candle and champagne set up. (laughs) You're gonna get chocolate, candles, champagne.
48
We're just missing the flowers.
49
But you know flowers die and chocolate lives forever or until you eat it.
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
观看这个视频，能够让英语学习者在轻松愉快的氛围中练习口语。视频中，巧克力师约翰亚森分享了他对情人节巧克力的评价，这种日常对话不仅丰富了词汇量，还帮助学习者掌握实际应用的交流技巧。通过模仿他的发音和表达，学习者能够在英语影子跟读的过程中增强自信心，提升口语表达能力。
语法与表达分析
在视频中，约翰亚森使用了多种日常表达，以下是几个重要的结构：
- 使用“if”引导条件句：例如：“如果你只是要给你的情人送牛奶巧克力…”这类句子帮助学习者理解如何表达条件假设，适用于雅思口语练习。
- 形容词比较：如“这比以前的更好”，通过这种方式，约翰有效地表达了对巧克力质量的评价，并尝试比较不同产品的优劣。
- 动词短语的使用： “step up your game” 是一个俚语，意指提升自己的水平，展现了口语中常见的表达方式，非常适合看YouTube学英语的学习者模仿。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有几个词汇的发音可能对学习者构成挑战：
- chocolate：注意这个单词的发音，常常被误读为“choc-o-late”。正确的发音应是“choc-lit”。
- caramel：这个词的发音在不同地区有所不同，有人读作“car-mel”，有人读作“car-uh-mel”，学习者可以根据自己的口音选择。
- preservatives：这个词容易在发音上出错，通常需要注意音节的划分，确保每个音节都发清晰。
通过shadowspeak的练习，学习者不仅能提高口语能力，还能克服这些发音障碍，增加交际时的流利感。在日常交流中，学习者可以尝试用这些句式和词汇来表达他们的想法，为雅思口语练习积累更多素材。
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。
