1
In this lesson, I'm going to talk about how to simplify fractions.
2
So let's start with a basic example, 6 over 8.
3
How can we simplify this fraction?
4
Well, notice that 6 and 8 are both even numbers.
5
So therefore, we can divide each number by 2.
6
6 divided by 2 is 3.
7
8 divided by 2 is 4.
8
And so the answer is going to be 3 over 4.
9
Now what about 8 over 12?
10
How can we simplify that fraction?
11
So 8 and 12 are even numbers, so we can divide each number by 2.
12
8 divided by 2 is 4, 12 divided by 2 is 6.
13
Now we still have even numbers, so we can divide it by 2 again.
14
4 divided by 2 is 2, 6 divided by 2 is 3.
15
so the answer is 2 over 3.
16
Another way in which you can do that problem is you could realize
17
that 8 is basically 4 times 2 and 12 is 4 times 3
18
and so you can cancel 4 and then this will give you the final result of 2 over 3.
19
For the sake of practice go ahead and try these two examples 15 over 24 and 35 over 49
20
go ahead and simplify those two fractions 15 is 5 times 3 24 is 8 times 3
21
so we could cancel a 3 and
22
so the final answer for the first example it's going to be 5 over 8
23
Now let's move on to the next example.
24
What do you know about 35 and 49?
25
35 and 49 have a common number that goes into both of them, and that is 7.
26
35 is 7 times 5.
27
49 is 7 times 7.
28
And so we could cancel a 7, giving us the answer 5 over 7.
29
Try these two.
30
48 over 72 and also 38 over 57.
31
Now 48, what two numbers do you think is equal to 48?
32
The first two numbers that come in my mind are 8 and 6.
33
And 72 is 9 times 8 or 8 times 9.
34
So we could cancel on 8.
35
Now we could still simplify this further.
36
6 is 3 times 2.
37
9 is 3 times 3.
38
And so these can be cancelled.
39
Thus the final answer for that problem is 2 over 3.
40
Now what about 38 and 57?
41
Both numbers are divisible by 19.
42
19 times 2 is 38.
43
19 times 3 is 57.
44
And once again, the final answer is 2 over 3.
45
So now you know how to simplify fractions.

需要注意的发音

  • “th” 音: thus /ˈðʌs/, therefore /ˈðɛɹ.fɔɹ/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: divide /dɪˈvaɪd/, divisible [dɪˈvɪzɪbəɫ]
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: divide /dɪˈvaɪd/, sake /ˈseɪ̯k/, thus /ˈðʌs/, notice /ˈnoʊ.tɪs/, basic /ˈbeɪsɪk/
  • /æ/ — 嘴张大,不要读成 /e/: cancel /ˈkæn.sl̩/, fraction /ˈfɹæk.ʃən/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 divide, cancel, fraction 这类单词。

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。
