1
Today I'd like to teach you a new lesson to make you sound more like a native speaker of English.
2
Most of my students complain
3
that they don't really feel like they're speaking like a native speaker
4
because they're not using a lot of everyday expressions that native speakers use.
5
I encourage you to keep studying a lot of different expressions and try to use them as much as possible.
6
In this video I will teach you five new expressions
7
and we will use these idiomatic expressions following the new rule that I'm going to teach you in this video.
8
Let's learn the rule about which words we stress when we have an adjective and a noun.
9
For example, if we say new house.
10
New is an adjective and house is a noun.
11
The noun in English gets more stressed than the adjective.
12
So For example, we do this.
13
New house.
14
New house.
15
I bought a new house.
16
Let's look at another one.
17
Big room.
18
Room is a noun.
19
Same thing.
20
We don't say big room, we say big room.
21
That's a really big room.
22
And maybe in your language you stress adjectives more.
23
In fact, that's a pretty common way to do it in many different languages.
24
In English, adjectives are stressed only as an exception.
25
For example, I want the blue sweater, not the green one.
26
But otherwise I'd say, she's wearing a blue sweater.
27
She's wearing a blue sweater.
28
Put the stress at the end.
29
That's very important.
30
Make sure that you say the two words together.
31
That's a new house.
32
That's a big room.
33
Have a nice day.
34
You did a good job.
35
So we don't say you did a good job.
36
We say you did a good job.
37
All right, the second thing I want you to remember is in order to sound more like a native speaker, you need to also practice using everyday expressions.
38
So now let's practice four different idiomatic expressions that follow this pattern.
39
The first one is when people say, once in a blue moon.
40
Once in a blue moon.
41
We don't stress blue, we stress moon.
42
Once in a blue moon.
43
Once in a blue moon means very rarely, almost never, seldom.
44
So we say, oh, I see my friend once in a blue moon.
45
All right.
46
How about if I say, no big deal, no big deal.
47
Big is an adjective and deal is a noun.
48
So we're going to stress the noun, no big deal.
49
It's no big deal.
50
And that That means it's okay, it's not a problem, it's not serious, everything's okay.
51
Let's learn a couple more idioms and then we'll practice them in sentences a little more naturally.
52
How about on the same page?
53
That's a very common expression that people are using a lot these days.
54
They will say, we're on the same page.
55
And that means we're thinking in the same way, we have the same idea.
56
We're on the same page.
57
So we don't say we're on the same page.
58
We say we're on the same page.
59
And one more, if I say you've come a long way, you've come a long way,
60
that means you've made a lot of very good progress compared to where you used to be in the past.
61
You've come a long way with your English.
62
All right, now let's practice using these expressions in sentences.
63
And pay attention, each sentence is going to have two opportunities to use this adjective and noun pattern.
64
I see my old friend once in a blue moon.
65
I see my old friend once in a blue moon.
66
We had a little disagreement, but it's no big deal.
67
We had a little disagreement but it's no big deal.
68
They're on the same page about wanting a small wedding.
69
They're on the same page about wanting a small wedding.
70
You've come a long way in only three months.
71
You've come a long way in only three months.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?

在学习英语的过程中,许多学生常常感到自己的口语表达与母语者相比有所差距。这是因为他们没有使用许多日常表达。观看本视频可以帮助您学习到五个新的表达方式,并掌握英语中单词重音的重要规则。在这个视频中,您将会了解到如何在名词和形容词组合时增加自然的语音流畅度,并且通过重复练习提高自己的英语发音。这样的练习有助于您在 看YouTube学英语 时,能够更像一个地道的英语使用者,增强您的自信心。

语法与表达在语境中的应用

  • 名词与形容词的重音规则:在短语如“new house”和“big room”中,重读名词而非形容词,以便更合乎英语的发音习惯。例如,在句子“I bought a new house”中,重音应放在“house”上。
  • 口语化的习惯用语:通过本视频学习的习惯用语如“once in a blue moon”和“no big deal”,都是非常常见的表达,能有效增强您的口语能力。“once in a blue moon”意味着极为罕见,而“no big deal”则表示某事并不重要或令人烦恼。
  • 日常交流中的使用:通过将这些习惯用语融入日常对话中,您能够提高英语交流的流畅性,进而推进雅思口语练习的效果。记住在表达时将重音放在名词上,如“no big deal”,“big”虽然是形容词,但重音却应放在“deal”上。

常见的发音陷阱

在这个视频中,有些单词的重音可能会让非母语者感到困惑。例如,"blue" 和 "moon" 的重音差异是一个常见的发音陷阱。在表达时,不少人可能将重音误置于“blue”,而实际上应重读“moon”。此外,表达“good job”时,尽量让重音落在“job”上,避免在形容词“good”上施加重音。

练习时,建议您进行 shadow speech 的练习,这不仅能够提高您的发音,还能帮助您在实际对话中更流畅地使用这些习惯用语。通过有意识地强调名词并多加练习,您将能够更加自信地进行英语交流。

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。
