Hello and welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have real conversations in easy English to help you learn.
2
I'm Beth.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
You can watch this podcast and test yourself with a worksheet which you can get free on our website at bbclearningenglish.com.
5
So, Neil, how are you today?
6
I'm very well, actually.
7
How are you feeling about our recording today?
8
Feeling confident?
9
I'm feeling confident.
10
Are you feeling nervous?
11
Not at all.
12
No, I'm feeling confident.
13
Well, today we're talking all about confidence.
14
So, listeners might be familiar with the adjective confidence, which means being certain about something, feeling good about yourself.
15
But confidence is the noun and it's that feeling of being certain, maybe about your own abilities or about a situation.
16
Okay, that's a good description, Beth.
17
Would you say you are a confident person?
18
I think it really depends on the situation.
19
So if I am Speaking with you like this, I'm very confident I know you.
20
But if I'm around people that I don't know as much, then I usually feel a bit more shy.
21
Yeah.
22
What about you?
23
Are you generally confident?
24
I think, like you, if I think I know what I'm doing, then I'm confident.
25
But if I'm doing something, especially with people who maybe know more about that thing than I do, then that can be nerve-wracking, make you feel nervous and then not be confident.
26
Yeah, definitely.
27
I remember being in a class, in a classroom, and if I feel like this topic is just, I don't know, then I would not feel confident at all, definitely feel nervous.
28
What other types of situations would make you feel shy or nervous?
29
I think apart from meeting new people, I always feel a bit nervous with that.
30
I'm generally quite confident.
31
So, um, if it comes to something like public speaking, where I have to talk in front of a lot of people, if they're people I don't know, I don't really have a problem, I'm quite confident.
32
But if I had to speak to a room of people and I know the people that would make me more nervous.
33
I don't know if that's weird.
34
Maybe.
35
I think I'm probably the opposite.
36
Really?
37
If I talk to people I don't know, I don't feel very confident unless I'm very well prepared.
38
I think being prepared is a good way to boost your confidence.
39
Yeah.
40
I remember watching a video about a lady saying, if you want to improve your confidence, to boost your confidence, you should stand in a power stance and think about all the good things that you're going to do and it will make you confident with your hands on your hips.
41
And she said, if you're going to do public speaking or something that's really can be quite scary, she said even just go to the toilet, stand in the toilet and do it on your own.
42
And apparently it increases your confidence.
43
Well, I must try that.
44
So Neil, are there any situations where you wish you were more confident?
45
Maybe.
46
I mean, I have a lot of experience of driving, and I'm quite confident driving, but driving abroad, driving especially in a foreign city, can be nerve-wracking.
47
And, yeah, I think it would be nice to be more confident driving abroad.
48
I was just thinking about language learning.
49
I wish I was more confident when it came to speaking, but I feel so shy and nervous.
50
Unless I'm in, say, like a language class, then I'll be okay.
51
But if I'm in the real world and I have to speak to someone in Spanish, for example, I get really nervous.
52
I have so much respect for people like our audience because they speak a foreign language and that's a really hard thing to do.
53
nerve-wracking, you need confidence and, you know, well done to you because it's not easy.
54
It's not easy at all.
55
Let's recap some of the vocabulary we heard during the conversation.
56
We had confidence, which means certain or comfortable.
57
And we also had the noun confidence, which means that feeling or quality of being certain.
58
We heard the word shy, which describes a person who feels nervous or uncomfortable around other people.
59
If something is nerve-wracking, it's very stressful or worrying.
60
If something boosts your confidence, it makes you feel more confident.
61
And that's it for this episode of Real Easy English.

练习技巧

为了提高英语发音和自信心，建议您使用shadow speak（跟读）技巧。在观看视频时，尽量模仿发音和语调，特别注意Beth和Neil的对话节奏。您可以反复播放视频，尝试随着他们的对话进行shadow speech。此时，放松心态，集中在语言的流畅性上，而不是单一的语法或词汇错误。

如果觉得初期难度较大，可以先将视频音量调小，在心中默默跟读，等到掌握节奏后，再进行大声跟读。建议每次练习时选择一个特定的场景，例如在公共场合演讲，通过实际演练帮助自己克服紧张情绪。这个过程不仅能提高您的口语能力，还能大大增加您的自信心。

此外，可以尝试在自己的日常生活中应用所学词汇，如和朋友讨论您最近的经历。在这个shadowing site中，不断通过实际对话来练习，将有助于您在真实社交环境中更加自信地使用英语。

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。
