Hey there, welcome back to the Slow English Podcast.
2
I'm Mark.
3
It's really good to have you here.
4
Today, we're going to talk about something that touches all of our lives at some point.
5
It can be exciting, but also a bit scary.
6
It can make us feel hopeful, but also a little lost.
7
The topic is change.
8
Change means when something becomes different.
9
Sometimes change is small.
10
Other times it's big.
11
It can happen slowly over time or it can come suddenly like a storm.
12
When I was younger I really didn't like change.
13
I liked having the same routine every day.
14
Routine means the things you do regularly, like brushing your teeth in the morning or walking your dog after dinner.
15
My routine made me feel safe.
16
It gave me a sense of control.
17
I knew what to expect, but over time I started to realise something.
18
Without change, we don't grow.
19
Grow means to become better, wiser or stronger over time.
20
Think about a tree.
21
It starts small, like a seed.
22
But with time, water and sunlight, it grows into something strong and beautiful.
23
People are like that too.
24
We need new experiences to grow.
25
One big change I went through was moving to a new city.
26
I had never lived away from my hometown before.
27
At first, it was exciting.
28
Everything was new.
29
New streets, new people, new food.
30
But then, the excitement faded.
31
I started to feel lonely.
32
I miss my friends.
33
I miss the places I used to go.
34
That's when change started to feel hard.
35
lonely means feeling alone or like no one understands you.
36
It's not a nice feeling, but sometimes feeling lonely helps us understand what really matters.
37
During those first few months in the new city, I spent a lot of time walking.
38
I didn't know anyone, so I just explored.
39
One day, I found a small park.
40
It had a little pond, some benches, and lots of birds.
41
I started going there every morning.
42
It became part of my new routine.
43
Little by little, I met people.
44
A man who walked his dog at the same time as me.
45
An older woman who fed the birds.
46
A kid who liked to draw pictures of ducks.
47
We started saying hello hello, then small conversations, and soon I didn't feel so lonely anymore.
48
That's something change teaches us.
49
Even when it feels difficult at first, if we stay open, we find our way.
50
Open.
51
In this case, means willing to try new things or meet new people.
52
Another time in my life, I had to change jobs.
53
I had worked at the same place for five years.
54
I knew the work.
55
I knew the people.
56
I was comfortable.
57
But the company closed.
58
Suddenly I had no job.
59
No plan.
60
I was scared.
61
Scared means afraid or worried about something.
62
I didn't know what would happen next, but I had to act.
63
I updated my resume.
64
I started applying for jobs.
65
I went to interviews.
66
At first, I got a lot of rejections.
67
That felt painful.
68
But each interview helped me get better.
69
Each failure helped me learn.
70
Eventually, I got a new job.
71
And guess what?
72
It turned out to be a better fit for me.
73
I liked the people more.
74
I enjoyed the work more.
75
And I felt proud of myself for getting through that hard time.
76
That's something I always try to remember.
77
Sometimes change pushes us into something better, even if we can't see it right away.
78
Let's take a moment to talk about personal changes, changes inside of us, like the way we think or feel.
79
There was a time when I used to get angry easily.
80
Small things would bother me.
81
A late bus, a noisy neighbour, even someone chewing loudly.
82
I didn't like feeling that way.
83
So I decided to work on it.
84
I started meditating.
85
Meditating means sitting quietly and focusing on your breath or thoughts to feel calm.
86
At first it was hard.
87
My mind was always busy.
88
But over time I noticed something.
89
I was less angry, more patient, more calm.
90
That change didn't happen overnight.
91
Overnight means very quickly, from one day to the next.
92
But with time, I felt different, better, more at peace.
93
That's the thing about inner change.
94
It takes time, it takes effort, but it can be powerful.
95
Some changes are chosen, others are not.
96
Like losing someone you love.
97
That's one of the hardest changes of all.
98
When my grandfather passed away, I felt a deep sadness.
99
He had been such a big part of my life.
100
He told the best stories.
101
He made the best soup.
102
He always knew how to make people laugh.
103
After he was gone, everything felt different.
104
I missed him so much.
105
But over time, I started to remember the good things more than the sad ones.
106
That's what grief is like.
107
Grief means the deep sadness we feel when we lose someone or something important.
108
Grief changes us.
109
It breaks us a little, but it also softens us.
110
It helps us understand love and how precious time is.
111
Let me tell you something I learned from all these experiences.
112
change is not the enemy it's not something to run from
113
it's something to understand to work with to grow through of course change still scares me sometimes
114
but now I try to meet it like a friend I ask it what are you here to teach me
115
and usually it has an answer not right away but eventually.
116
So if you're going through a change right now, big or small, know that you are not alone.
117
We all go through it and we all come out stronger on the other side.
118
Let's review today's vocabulary.
119
Change.
120
When something becomes different.
121
Routine.
122
The things you do regularly.
123
Grow.
124
To become better or stronger over time.
125
Lonely.
126
Feeling alone or not understood.
127

129

131
Meditating.
132
Sitting quietly to calm your thoughts.
133
Overnight.
134
very quickly in a short time.
135
Grief, deep sadness from losing someone or something.
136
All right, that's it for today.
137
Thanks for listening to this longer episode.
138
I hope it brought you some comfort or inspiration.
139
Whatever change you are facing, Take it slow.
140
Take care of yourself.
141
And remember, change is part of life.
142
It's part of growing.
143
This is Mark.
144
Talk soon.
关于本课
欢迎来到这节英语学习课程！在本课中，您将通过分析“变化”这一主题，来提升您的英语口语能力。您将练习如何用英语表达对变化的看法和感受，了解变化在我们生活中的重要性，并学会如何在面对变化时保持开放的心态。通过这个视频，您将获得提高英语口语的机会，掌握用简单的英语讲述个人经历的技巧。
关键词汇与短语
- 变化 (change)：表示事物的不同或变化。
- 例行公事 (routine)：指定期进行的事情，如每天早晨刷牙。
- 成长 (grow)：意味着随着时间的推移变得更好或更强。

练习建议
为了有效提高您的英语口语，建议您开始进行英语影子跟读。选择视频中的一个段落，在每一句话后暂停，模仿说话者的语调和节奏。由于这个视频的语速较慢，非常适合初学者进行口语练习。您可以反复播放段落，帮助您提高发音的准确性和流利度。
在您跟读时，请注意shadow speech中的情感表达，尤其是描述对变化的感受。在您实践的同时，可以尝试以自己的经历添加更多的内容，帮助加深理解。例如，您可以分享自己的例子，如何在生活中面对变化，利用这个机会促进与他人的交流。
无论是通过看YouTube学英语，还是其他方式，保持对变化的开放心态会让您在学习英语的旅程中获得更大的乐趣和成就感。记住，变化虽然有时感到困难，但它也可以带来新的体验和成长。继续练习，享受每一次的进步！
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。
