You will learn how to speak English for work, travel or study.
4
Each week we look at a short drama then practice our English.
5
So now let's look at the first episode of our drama Sisters and Brothers.
6
The Excuse
7
me.
8
Anne Lee?
9
Yes, hello.
10
I'm Sarah Taylor.
11
I'm your new local buyer.
12
Pleased to meet you.
13
It's very kind of you to meet me.
14
Oh, sorry.
15
This is my husband, Mark.
16
Good morning.
17
How are you?
18
Very well, thank you.
19
How was your flight?
20
Oh, actually, I'm a bit tired.
21
It was a very long flight.
22
Let's get your bags.
23
Oh, that's mine there, the red one.
24
It's Emily.
25
Sorry.
26
Don't worry, Ma, it's strong, aren't you, dear?
27
No worries.
28
Come on, let's go to the hotel.
29
Poor Mark.
30
In that episode we saw how to meet people.
31
Let's look again at how Anne meets Sarah.
32
Excuse me.
33
Anne Lee?
34
Yes, hello.
35
I'm Sarah Taylor.
36
I'm your new local buyer.
37
Anne says hello.
38
Try at home with the clip.
39
Excuse me, Anne Lee?
40
Excuse me, Anne Lee?
41
Yes, hello.
42
Hello is what we usually say when we meet people.
43
What does Sarah say?
44
I'm Sarah Taylor.
45
I'm your new local buyer.
46
Pleased to meet you.
47
Sarah says her name and then she says, pleased to meet you.
48
Let's look at this again.
49
I'm Sarah Taylor.
50
I'm your new local buyer.
51
Pleased to meet you.
52
First, Sarah says her name because Anne doesn't know who she is.
53
We just say I'm, which is short for I am and then our name.
54
In English, we say our family name last.
55
Sarah's family name is Taylor.
56
So she says, I'm Sarah Taylor.
57
This is formal English.
58
You can just say your first name.
59
So Sarah could say, I'm Sarah.
60
My name is Brenton Whittle.
61
So I would say, hello, I'm Brenton Whittle.
62
Now you try introducing yourself.
63
Say your name.
64
Hello, I'm...
65
Sarah says something else.
66
Watch again.
67
I'm Sarah Taylor.
68
I'm your new local buyer.
69
Pleased to meet you.
70
She says, pleased to meet you.
71
This is another way of greeting someone.
72
It's a formal way of greeting someone.
73
Practice with the clip.
74
Pleased to meet you.
75
Usually, in Australia, we shake hands when we say, pleased to meet you.
76
Here is another way of greeting someone.
77
Look at the clip.
78
Oh, sorry, this is my husband, Mark.
79
Good morning.
80
How are you?
81
Very well, thank you.
82
Sarah introduces her husband, Mark.
83
Let's look again at what she says.
84
Oh, sorry, this is my husband, Mark.
85
She says, this is my husband Mark.
86
Practice saying this with the clip.
87
Oh sorry, this is my husband Mark.
88
Now look at how Mark greets Anne.
89
Good morning, how are you?
90
Very well, thank you.
91
How are you is a very common way of greeting someone.
92
Sometimes we say, how are you going?
93
Anne says, very well, thank you.
94
Practice saying both of these phrases with the clip.
95
How are you?
96
Very well, thank you.
97
There's one more way of saying hello.
98
Let's look.
99
Good morning.
100
How are you?
101
Very well, thank you.
102
Mark says, good morning.
103
Of course, you can only say good morning in the morning.
104
Try with the clip.
105
Good morning.
106
Let's look at how English works.
107
English is made up of sentences.
108
Let's look at sentences.
109
Firstly, let's listen to Sarah.
110
I'm Sarah Taylor.
111
I'm your new local buyer.
112
Pleased to meet you.
113
I'm is a way of saying I am.
114
The word I is called the subject of the sentence.
115
It comes first.
116
Am is called a verb.
117
It comes next.
118
And her name, Sarah Taylor, is called the object.
119
It comes after the verb.
120
Many sentences have this pattern.
121
Let's look at another one.
122
Oh, sorry, this is my husband, Mark.
123
Can you work out what is the subject, the verb, and the object of this sentence?
124
That's right.
125
The word this is the subject, is is the verb and my husband is the object.
126
And this is Michelle Crodon.
127
Hello Michelle, how are you today?
128
Hello Brenton, I'm good thanks, how are you?
129
I'm very well.
130
Now, what have you got there?
131
I have some hats.
132
What are you doing with the hats?
133
I'll show you, but first let's look at for scene again.
134
Anne is collecting her luggage.
135
Oh that's mine, the red one.
136
Anne said that her bag was the red one.
137
Red is a colour.
138
I have four hats here.
139
Now which is the red one?
140
This is the red one.
141
Do you know the colours?
142
Which hat is yellow?
143
This is the yellow one.
144
Which hat is blue?
145
This is the blue one.
146
So which hat is green?
147
This is the green one.
148
Brenton, which hat do you like?
149
This one.
150
Brenton likes the blue hat.
151
What about you Michelle?
152
I think I see you in red.
153
Haha, yep.
154
Michelle likes the red hat.
155
Which hat do you like?
156
The blue one, the red one, the yellow one or the green one?
157
You say I like the...
158
Which hat do I like?
159
That's right.
160
I like the red hat.
161
Which hat does Brenton like?
162
He likes the blue hat.
163
So, Brenton, which hat is yours?
164
The blue one.
165
The blue hat is mine.
166
It's my hat.
167
The blue hat is yours.
168
It's your hat.
169
And which hat is mine?
170
The red hat is yours.
171
It's your hat.
172
The red hat is mine.
173
It's my hat.
174
So we've learned four colours.
175
Red, blue, green and yellow.
176
And we've learned your and yours and my and mine.
177
But there's something else to look at in the scene.
178
Here are two clips.
179
Oh, sorry.
180
This is my husband, Mark.
181
Oh, that's mine, the red one.
182
Sarah uses the word this when she introduces Mark.
183
She says, this is my husband.
184
But when Anne points out her bag, she uses the word that.
185
She says, that's mine.
186
What's the difference?
187
Look again and see if you can tell.
188
Oh sorry, this is my husband Mark.
189
Oh that's mine, the red one.
190
What's the difference, Brenton?
191
When Sarah says, this is my husband, she's standing right next to him.
192
But when Anne points to her bag, it's not next to her.
193
So, Brenton, is that your hat?
194
This one?
195
Yes, it is.
196
Is that his hat?
197
No, it isn't.
198
This is your hat, Brenton.
199
Thank you, thank you.
200
And is that your hat, Michelle?
201
Yes, this is my hat.
202
Remember in the clip, Anne's red bag was heavy.
203
Is your hat heavy?
204
No, Brenton, it's light.
205
This is heavy.
206
Yes, it's heavy.
207
Answer the questions at home.
208
Is it light?
209
No, it's heavy.
210
Is this heavy?
211
No, it's light.
212
And are you strong, Brendan?
213
What do you think?
214
Is he strong?
215
Yes, he is, I suppose.
216
And is Mark strong?
217
Let's look and listen for something else Mark says.
218
Don't worry, Mark's strong, aren't you, dear?
219
No worries. So, is Mark strong?
220
I'm not so sure.
221
But Mark said something else.
222
Listen again.
223
No worries.
224
Mark said, no worries.
225
This is an Australian way of saying, okay.
226
And finally, let's look at some different ways of saying hello.
227
Remember what Mark said when he greeted Anne?
228
He said, good morning.
229
He said good morning because it was in the morning before 12 o'clock.
230
What would he say after 12 o'clock?
231
He could say good afternoon.
232
Try saying it after me.
233
Good afternoon.
234
And if it was in the evening, he could say good evening.
235
Try saying this after me.
236
Good evening.
237
But he probably wouldn't say goodnight.
238
We usually only say goodnight when we're leaving or going to bed.
239
And I think it's time for us to leave now, Brenton.
240
No worries, Michelle.
241
Hope you enjoyed episode one of Sisters and Brothers and our first program of Living English.
242
And I hope you can watch our next program.
243
We'll find out how to check in at a hotel and about dealing with money.
244
So until then, see you later.
为什么要用这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，与人交流是一项至关重要的技能。该视频《Living English - Episode 01 - Pleased to meet you》提供了一个实用的口语练习场景，尤其适合那些想在工作、旅行或学习中提高英语能力的学习者。通过观看短剧《姐妹与兄弟》，你可以学习如何在真实场景中与他人打招呼并自我介绍。这不仅能帮助你理解日常交流的用法，还能通过模仿练习提高口语流利度和自信心。
通过观看并反复练习，你还可以使用“shadow speech”技术，跟随视频中的对话进行发音和语调的模仿，这是一种有效的提高英语发音的方法。通过这种方式，学习者不仅能增进口语能力，还能提升对英语语感的理解。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在视频中，有几句关键的表达方式值得注意：
- Excuse me.：用于引起他人注意的礼貌用语。在日常交流中，这是一种常见的开场白。
- I'm [姓名].：自我介绍时常用的结构。例如，Sarah 说：“I'm Sarah Teylor.” 这种方式能够清晰地传达你的身份。
- Pleased to meet you.：一种正式且礼貌的问候语，习惯上在首次见面时使用，表达对见面的愉快心情。
这些表达适合于各种正式和非正式场合，对于打算参加雅思口语练习的学习者尤其重要。熟悉这些句型有助于提升口语表达的准确性和流畅度。
常见发音陷阱
在视频的对话中，学习者可能会遇到一些发音上的挑战。一些词汇和短语如“pleased”或“buyer”可能会对新学习者构成一定难度。的确，英美发音差异会影响你的理解和表达，因此需要特别注意这些细节。
此外，要注意语调的变化，特别是在问候和自我介绍时，语调上升和下降的掌握可以让交流听起来更加自然，增强交流的有效性。通过反复练习和看YouTube学英语，可加强对发音以及语音语调的理解，确保在与他人互动时更加自信。
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。
