Hello everyone and welcome back to Everyday English Talk.
2
I am Anna.
3
And I am Ben.
4
Thank you for joining us today.
5
In our last episode, we talked about what we do and how we feel on a rainy day.
6
Today, we are staying with the rain, but we are talking about something very delicious.
7
That is right.
8
Today's topic is rainy day comfort foods.
9
A comfort food is food that makes you feel happy, warm, and safe.
10
We all have those special meals we want to eat when the weather is dark and wet outside.
11
We will share our favorites and learn some great English phrases along the way.
12
And do not forget, you can download the free PDF transcript and practice exercises for this episode.
13
You will find the link in the description.
14
Let us get started.
15
So, Anna, when the sky is gray and the rain is falling, do you ever get a strong feeling that you want a specific food?
16
Oh, yes, I definitely do.
17
When it is cold and wet outside, my body just wants something warm.
18
I always have a craving for something hot.
19
I do not want cold salads or sandwiches.
20
I agree with you.
21
A cold salad is not good for a rainy day.
22
What is your favorite hot meal when it rains?
23
I love a big bowl of steaming hot soup.
24
It is my favorite thing in the world.
25
Sometimes I make chicken soup with noodles, and sometimes I make a simple vegetable soup.
26
Soup is perfect.
27
It warms you up from the inside.
28
Yes, it really does.
29
And the most important part of the soup is the broth.
30
I love a rich broth.
31
It takes a long time to cook, but it tastes so good.
32
The rich broth makes the whole house smell wonderful.
33
That sounds amazing.
34
I can almost smell it now.
35
For me, I always want hot drinks like we talked about before.
36
A big cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate is great.
37
But for a meal, I love something different.
38
What do you like to eat?
39
I love hot pot.
40
Do you know hot pot, Anna?
41
Yes, of course.
42
It is a big pot of boiling soup in the middle of the table, right?
43
Exactly.
44
You put the steaming hot pot on the table, and you cook meat, vegetables, and noodles right there.
45
It is so much fun.
46
That sounds like a lot of food.
47
Do you eat it alone?
48
No, I never eat hot pot alone.
49
I always call my friends.
50
We gather around the table, cook the food together, and talk for hours.
51
It is the best way to spend a rainy evening.
52
That is a wonderful idea.
53
You stay inside, you stay warm, and you enjoy good food with good people.
54
Yes, when you gather around a warm meal, you forget about the bad weather outside.
55
The rain just becomes background noise.
56
I completely agree.
57
Hot soup and hot pot are definitely great comfort foods.
58
They make everything feel better.
59
They really do.
60
Now, I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
61
Me too.
62
Let me tell you more about my chicken soup.
63
I like to add carrots, celery, and a lot of garlic.
64
The garlic makes the rich broth even better.
65
Do you buy the soup from a store or do you make it yourself?
66
I always make it myself.
67
Cooking is part of the comfort.
68
When I stand in the kitchen and stir the pot, I feel very relaxed.
69
The sound of the rain on the window makes it even better.
70
That is a very peaceful picture.
71
For my hot pot, we usually prepare many different plates of food.
72
We slice the beef very thin so it cooks fast in the rich broth.
73
We wash a lot of green vegetables.
74
Preparing the food together sounds like a fun activity for a rainy afternoon.
75
It is.
76
We wash the vegetables, we cut the mushrooms, and we set the table.
77
Everyone helps.
78
Then we sit down and watch the water boil.
79
When the food is steaming hot, we take it out and eat it with special sauces.
80
I can see why that is your favorite.
81
It is not just about the food.
82
It is about the experience.
83
You have a craving for the feeling of being together, not just the hot pot.
84
You are exactly right.
85
It is about sharing a warm moment with friends.
86
Next time it rains, maybe I will invite some friends over and try making a hot pot instead of my usual chicken soup.
87
You should.
88
It is very easy to do.
89
And you can choose any kind of rich broth you want.
90
Some people like spicy broth and some people like clear, mild broth.
91
I think I would prefer a mild broth.
92
Spicy food is good, but a clear broth is more relaxing for me.
93
That sounds great.
94
Just make sure it is steaming hot.
95
That is the most important rule for rainy day food.
96
Let us review some useful phrases from our chat.
97
Good idea.
98
First is, have a craving for.
99
It means you really want to eat a specific food right now.
100
Example.
101
I have a craving for hot pizza tonight.
102
Second is steaming hot.
103
It means food or drink is very hot and producing steam.
104
Example.
105
Be careful
106

107
a very deep strong and delicious flavor example this noodle soup has a very rich broth fourth is hot
108
pot it is a meal where you cook raw food in a pot of boiling soup at the table example we went to a restaurant to eat hot pot for my birthday.

  • 首先，仔细倾听对话，了解内容的语调和节奏。
  • 然后，慢慢地重复这些句子，模仿说话者的语音和重音，在需要时暂停，以确保你听懂并能跟上节奏。
  • 注意自己的发音，尤其是关键词汇，如“舒适食物”、“热汤”等，重复直到你对自己的发音感到满意。
  • 在练习中，尽量结合自己的经历，比如说出你最喜欢的雨天食物，让自己在实际对话中更自然自信。

通过这样的shadow speech练习，不仅能提高你的口语流利度，还能使你在面对不同场合的英语交流时更加自如和自然。记得多加练习，享受学习的乐趣！

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。
