So I went to a random one.

So this one ended up being 2000s Throwbacks.

And it kind of just reminded me of all the songs that I heard in Applebee's when I was a child.
119
There is such thing as Applebee's music, okay?
120
I don't know how to explain it.
121
I don't know if anyone relates.
122
But there are certain songs like Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
123
Perfect example.
124
It's an Applebee's song.
125
And it always will be an Applebee's song.

Love that song.
127
I really do.
128
Anyways, I think I'm back on my SoulCycle journey.
129
So you guys will probably be seeing
130
that in my upcoming vlogs I'm already looking at the new schedule
131
and trying to see the classes coming up tate mcrae I'm
132
getting ready to go to an art cafe with my roommate
133
and friend olivia finding activities that you can do with your friends Are just sometimes like
134
so much more fun than just going out to get food all the time You kind of just like go there.
135
It's almost like a restaurant But like you order on the menu the type of art
136
that you want to make it's been a while since i've been there So i'm really excited.
137
I love a little girls night and I feel so refreshed and I feel so good after my little workout so so
138
the art cafe was i would say it's a success for me i was happy with my little cards
139
and you know one of my like love languages now i've realized is gift giving
140
so i thought why not like make some personalized cards for my friends for their birthdays
141
and stuff are they like picasso level no
142
no and you know what they never will be even
143
if you don't have a type of cafe like this near you
144
because like growing up in minnesota for me there's not stuff
145
like this close by you can like organize stuff like this
146
with your friends like go out get this stuff for it
147
you don't really need to go somewhere expensive i am going to upgrade my microphone soon it's a pending project my
148
my team is working on it my team is myself it is overdue for a little advice segment on here
149
so i thought i would read a dm you guys know i do this anonymously i'm 25
150
and i feel like i chose the wrong career path everyone around me seems
151
so confident and i feel stuck how did you know what you wanted to do there is
152
so much pressure in our 20s
153
and late teens to know exactly what we're going to do and expectations
154
that like for some reason we're going to know exactly what we want to do by the time we graduate
155
and that is not realistic.
156
I don't think your 20s are about choosing perfectly right away.
157
I think it's about trying things and testing things and seeing kind of what you like.
158
You're allowed to pivot.
159
You're allowed to change your mind.
160
You're allowed to try different things and like outgrow maybe a career
161
that you once thought you wanted after trying it for a little bit.
162
And I think trying something even if you learn that you don't like it that
163
is a success because then you learn something about yourself
164
and you learn what you like and what you're good at
165
or maybe what you don't like and what you're not good at and any information I think is valuable.
166
For me, I know some of you might think
167
that I never have questioned my career and that this just fell into my lap.
168
Obviously, I feel so grateful.
169
I can't even begin to explain but there's a lot of times especially after I graduated college where I questioned, you know, is this something I want to still do?
170
Am I gonna burn out?
171
Like I've been doing this for 10 years.
172
Is this like the right career path for me still?
173
I still question myself honestly all the time Everyone seems
174
so successful nowadays and with social media especially it just seems like everybody's doing
175
so well For me college
176
and like learning about different areas Drew me to a lot of different things
177
that I might potentially want to do in the future
178
But for now I really enjoy what i'm doing and i'm so happy Yeah, just try not to put too much pressure on yourself and try things.
179
That's my best advice
180
anyways i love you guys i'm gonna go to sleep i'm
181
falling asleep i think as i'm saying this thanks for watching and i'll see you in my next video bye

推荐视频
为什么这个视频是练习口语的好材料?
这段视频以年轻人的真实生活为切入点,内容贴近日常,用词简单却生动,非常适合用来练习“shadow speak”(影子跟读法)。视频里的表达自然流畅,没有刻意的演讲腔,比如“我总是在怀疑自己的职业选择”“和朋友打电话都要提前安排”,这些都是20多岁年轻人常说的话,能帮助学习者掌握最地道的口语用法。而且,视频节奏适中,语速不快,很适合初学者模仿发音和语调,对于“提高英语发音”有很大帮助。
拆解地道表达,学习自然口语
- “I significantly more productive when I leave”:这里省略了“am”,是口语中常见的简化表达,让句子更简洁自然。学习者模仿时可以注意这种口语化的省略,避免过于刻板。
- “I feel some sort of deep attachment to it”:“some sort of”表示“某种”,比直接说“a deep attachment”更委婉,符合日常说话的习惯。这种模糊表达在口语中很常用,能让语言更生动。
- “being in my 20s truly is just full of mini resets”:“mini resets”用“小重置”来形容20多岁时不断调整的状态,非常形象。学习者可以学习这种用简单词汇创造生动表达的方法。
简单有效的“看YouTube学英语”练习法
利用这个视频练习口语,推荐使用“影子跟读法”:首先完整看一遍视频,理解内容;然后逐句播放,每句暂停后立即跟读,尽量模仿发音、语调和节奏;最后把自己的跟读录音和原视频对比,找出差异。每天花15分钟,坚持一周,就能明显感受到口语的进步。如果觉得自己练习有困难,可以找一个“shadowing site”(影子跟读网站)辅助,通过重复和对比,快速提升口语流畅度。记住,练习口语贵在坚持,哪怕每天只学一句,也能积累进步!
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | I've been trying · I've been doing |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | haven't worn · it's been · haven't gone |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事 | might be · may be · might think |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | was trying · was waiting |
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。
