1
I want to do a YAP challenge.
2
A YAP challenge is where you speak with authority on something you know for 60 seconds.
3
This YAP challenge is such a great way to get uncomfortably comfortable or comfortable with discomfort.
4
When we share our opinion, when we speak up in a meeting, when we set a boundary, it takes some practice to deliver that with competence, with confidence, and with warmth.
5
So here's my challenge to you.
6
I've been thinking a lot about the YAP challenge, speaking with authority for my new book conversation.
7
And so in this challenge, here's what I want you to do.
8
I want you to prepare a topic that you know something about.
9
It could be a piece of advice.
10
Maybe pretend you're giving me a piece of advice or a topic that you really feel strongly about.
11
Prepare for about 60 seconds of explaining this idea.
12
Press record on your camera, record it one take, and then post it and tag me.
13
The whole point of this is to be a little uncomfortable.
14
What happens when we practice by ourselves without a camera is we think about our idea, we deliver it in front of the mirror, we usually deliver it kind of like low volume and we're practicing internally,
15
and then we get in the room and all of a sudden we have to speak with volume, we have to speak with a camera on or even look someone in the eye, the camera is the point.
16
The camera is supposed to make you just a little bit nervous
17
so you can feel the nerves in your body and do it anyway.
18
Remember, confidence is not the absence of awkwardness.
19
It's not the absence of discomfort.
20
It's feeling uncomfortable, knowing how to manage it and then doing it anyway and still speaking with your best self.
21
So I cannot wait to hear your Speak With Authority topic, your influence topic be sure to tag me and
22
if you want help on speaking with confidence speaking with smarts
23
be sure to check out my new book conversation it's available wherever books are sold i can't wait to hear you

真实场景:用英语自信表达的挑战

视频中提到的“YAP挑战”为我们提供了一个绝佳的英语口语练习场景。在工作会议中发表观点、与他人设定界限或分享专业建议时,如何用英语既自信又亲切地表达?这个60秒的挑战正是为解决这类实际问题而设计,让你在“不舒服中找到舒适”,提升英语沟通的影响力。

实用表达与搭配

  • speak with authority:权威地表达。例如:“She can speak with authority on this topic.”(她能就这个话题权威地发言。)
  • deliver with competence:有能力地传达。可用于描述演讲或汇报:“He delivered the plan with competence.”(他有能力地传达了计划。)
  • manage discomfort:应对不适。在雅思口语练习中,可这样说:“I need to learn to manage discomfort when speaking in public.”(我需要学会在公众场合发言时应对不适。)
  • set a boundary:设定界限。日常对话中可用:“It's important to set a boundary with colleagues.”(与同事设定界限很重要。)
  • one take:一次完成。拍摄视频或录音时可说:“I recorded the video in one take.”(我一次就录好了视频。)

你的影子跟读挑战(shadowspeak)

现在就用“看视频学英语”的方式练习!找到视频中关于挑战规则的片段(约30秒),进行影子跟读:播放一句,暂停并模仿发音、语调甚至语气,重点练习“speak with authority”“manage discomfort”等短语的节奏。完成后,选择一个你熟悉的话题(如“如何提高英语发音”),用60秒准备并录制一段“权威表达”视频,强迫自己在镜头前克服紧张。这不仅能锻炼英语口语流畅度,还能提升雅思口语练习中所需的自信心。记住:自信不是没有尴尬,而是带着不适依然出色表达!

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。
