Hello, listeners.
2
I'm happy to see you again.
3
Welcome to the 8-Minute English Podcast series on the Learn English Podcast channel.
4
I'm your host, Nathan.
5
It's great to have you here with us again.
6
What do you think self-study is?
7
Is it studying a subject or a language by yourself?
8
Yes, it is.
9
But it's more than that.
10
Self-study is something you need to do regularly.
11
You have to practice every day.
12
It's also something you need to learn how to do.
13
Today, we have a conversation between Jasmine, a new member of the school club, and Sharon, the club's former leader.
14
They will talk about how to focus on self-study and keep it going.
15
We've prepared a special free PDF for this episode, full of tips and words to help you learn better.
16
Don't forget to check it out.
17
Let's get started right now.
18
Hi, Sharon.
19
I'm so happy you're here.
20
I've heard a lot about you from other club members.
21
They all say you have a lot to share.
22
That's really nice of them to say.
23
I'm glad to be back with everyone.
24
How's the club been for you so far?
25
I'm really happy we met at this meeting.
26
Things at the club are going well.
27
But I feel stuck when studying, especially alone.
28
It feels boring when I study by myself.
29
I want to improve, but it's hard to get started.
30
Do you have any tips?
31
I understand, Jasmine.
32
Studying alone can feel hard at first.
33
But if you see it as a way to grow and learn, it can actually be fun.
34
It's not just about English or school.
35
It can help in many areas of life.
36
Really?
37
I thought it was just extra homework.
38
Why is studying alone so important?
39
Good question.
40
Self-study isn't just extra work.
41
It's a way to take control of your learning.
42
This is important because things are always changing.
43
When you study on your own, you're building habits to be independent.
44
You're not only learning facts, you're learning how to learn.
45
So it's really about building confidence and skills for daily life, not just school?
46
Exactly.
47
Think about it.
48
If you always depended on teachers for everything, self-study helps you get ready for anything new you need to learn.
49
It's not just for English, it's for learning anything.
50
That sounds really helpful, but when I try to set study goals, I often feel bored.
51
My goals feel too big, and then I get confused.
52
That happens a lot.
53
One tip is to break big goals into smaller steps.
54
For example, if you want to improve in English, try a small goal like, learn five new words each day.
55
These smaller steps keep you motivated
56
because you see progress more often instead of trying to become fluent
57
so instead of saying i want to master english i could
58
say i want to learn how to describe my daily routine in english you got it
59
that sounds simple and easy to stick with
60
when you set small reachable goals it's easier to make progress without feeling stressed i understand
61
but there's one more thing it's hard to focus when i I get distracted.
62
My phone, notifications.
63
They all distract me.
64
I feel like I'll turn into a caveman if I don't check them.
65
I'm worried I'll miss club meetings.
66
I don't want to upset people by not checking messages.
67
Oh, Jasmine, you remind me of when I first joined the club.
68
Can you tell me more?
69
Sure.
70
When I first joined, I listened carefully to what everyone said.
71
I even missed an English class to go to a club event.
72
When doing homework, I would pick up my phone every time I got a message.
73
Things changed when I saw my focus was getting worse.
74
A study from California showed this too.
75
Checking your phone can make it harder to focus on work or school.
76
It's true what people say.
77
You really know a lot.
78
So what happened after that?
79
That's what I want to share with you next.
80
To get my focus back, I made a special study area.
81
I tried to keep this space just for studying, like keeping my desk clear, setting my phone to do not disturb, and only having study things around me.
82
Wow, that sounds really smart.
83
That helps with outside distractions.
84
What about inside distractions, like motivation?
85
I lose motivation quickly.
86
Self-study isn't just about motivation.
87
To do well, you need a plan too.
88
They work together.
89
When motivation goes away, a plan helps you keep going.
90
You need to decide what to study and for how long.
91
That sounds easy enough to try.
92
Yes, and if you want to stay motivated, there's a way.
93
Find someone who also likes learning on their own.
94
They don't need to study the same thing as you.
95
Just have the same goal of learning alone.
96
That's great.
97
I'll try to find someone, but I'm still not sure what would be good to study.
98
There are many free resources online.
99
Websites like Coursera, Khan Academy, and YouTube have lessons.
100
You can also find simple apps to help you learn languages or other things.
101
And don't be afraid to ask for help.
102
Study groups or online communities can help too.
103
You're right.
104
Just talking with you has been a big help.
105
I've learned things I didn't think about before.
106
You're welcome.
107
Let's learn some useful words with me now.
108
First, we have realize.
109
It means to understand something clearly.
110
Sharon started to realize that studying in a quiet place helps her focus.
111
Now let's look at confidence.
112
This word means feeling sure that you can do something well.
113
We can feel more confident when we practice self-study every day.
114
Next, we have notification.
115
It's a message sent to your phone or computer.
116
Jasmine finds her phone notifications distracting when she studies.
117
Have you heard this word?
118
Concentrate.
119
This verb means to focus.
120
Jasmine finds it hard to concentrate when she gets distracted.
121
Lastly, we have motivated.
122
It means having a strong reason to do something.
123
Smaller goals help Jasmine stay motivated in her studies.
124
You can write down these words to learn them easily.
125
Let's understand the topic better by answering some questions.
126
First question.
127
What is the main message of this podcast episode?
128
From what I've learned, self-study is important for our growth and confidence.
129
It gives tips on setting goals, creating a study space, and finding resources.
130
We need to practice and keep a self-study routine.
131
Next question.
132
What will you do to avoid distractions while studying?
133
For me, I will turn off my phone notifications and find a quiet study space.
134
What about you?
135
Please share what you learned from the podcast in the comments below.
136
Before ending today's podcast, I'll share some useful information about the topic.
137
There's a famous study that shows our brains work better with focused study times.
138
It's called the Pomodoro Technique.
139
This method was created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, and it really works.
140
Here's how it works.
141
You study for 25 minutes and then take a short 5-minute break.
142
After you do this 4 times, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
143
Try this method when you study alone, then come back here and tell us how it went.
144
I'd love to hear from you.
145
We've come to the end of today's podcast.
146
I hope you can use the advice from this episode in your life.
147
It will make things better for you.
148
Trust me, self-study is not hard.
149
The hard part is keeping it going until we see good results.
150
Stay healthy and keep up your self-study routine.
151
Goodbye, and see you in the next episode.

练习建议

- 选择适合自己的
shadowing site，从中获取内容。可以开始时选择较慢的语速，然后逐渐增加难度，以适应不同的听力和口语水平。 - 在聆听时，关注说话者的语调、重音和停顿，尝试跟随其节奏进行重复。
- 利用所学的词汇和短语，尝试将其融入到自己的对话中。在自学中，不要忘记不断实践，以防止感到无聊。
- 定期记录自己的进步，建立学习目标，确保在自学过程中保持动力。
通过不断的实践与对话，可以有效提高英语口语水平，增强自信心，实现自我成长。不妨现在就开始，运用所学，提高英语口语练习的效果！
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。
