1
Daily stand-up meetings, they can be terrifying for someone with basic English skills
2
and that's because talking in front of other people
3
and being the center of attention while you're explaining something in English
4
when you don't feel confident doing so can be a real challenge.
5
What is a daily stand-up meeting?
6
A daily stand-up meeting is a short meeting
7
that lasts for about 15 minutes and it's meant to plan for the next 24 hours.
8
It helps the team be on the same page
9
because it creates an understanding of what everyone in the team is working on.
10
It's usually held in the morning every day at the same time
11
and place and it's called stand-up because people are usually Standing up to keep the energy high.
12
That's very important.
13
These kind of meetings.
14
They have to be Short and in sharp and you have to focus and contribute
15
Daily stand-up meetings can be held in two ways
16
The first method is called round robin
17
and in this method people are sitting in a circle and they go one by one answering three questions.
18
What did I work on yesterday?
19
What am I working on today?
20
And what is blocking me?
21
We're going to go back to these questions later in the video.
22
The other method is called walking the board
23
and in this method there's a board with all the tasks
24
and each team member stands and picks the tasks they're working on
25
and I talk about the progress they made and the blockers
26
and other people in the team can offer to help with those blockers to help this person make progress.
27
What is the challenge with these stand-up meetings?
28
Well, if English is not your first language and you're struggling a little bit with English,
29
you may face two main challenges.
30
The first one is not knowing how to say what you want to say.
31
And the second one is not paying attention to what the other people are saying
32
because you're too worried about what you have to say.
33
And if you do that,
34
you're missing the point of the daily standard meeting.
35
So how do you avoid that?
36
By preparing your answers to the three questions that we mentioned before.
37
Let's see how to do that.
38
How do you answer these questions?
39
To answer these questions, the first thing
40
that you have to take into account is the tense that you use to answer them.
41
So for example, to answer the question,
42
what did I work on yesterday?
43
You have to use the simple past and say something like,
44
yesterday I worked on this and that.
45
To answer the question, what am I working on today?
46
You can use the future and say something like,
47
today I will work on this and that or today I am going to work on this and that.
48
You can also use the future continues and say,
49
today I will be working on this and that.
50
And you can also use a simple present and say,
51
today my plan is to do this and that.
52
Now, how do you answer the question, what is blocking me?
53
Well, here you can use the simple present and say,
54
my main block or my main impediment is this and that
55
and you can also use the present continuous
56
and say what is blocking me
57
or what is preventing me from making progress is this and that let me give you some concrete examples
58
yesterday i worked on a bug that was causing the invoice price not to have gst included
59
Today I'm going to work on generating a PDF receipt.
60
What's blocking me is the integration with Xero because I'm waiting for the credentials.
61
Yesterday I worked on getting the survey responses from the provider.
62
Today I will finish that and start working on the address validator component.
63
Nothing is currently blocking me.
64
Yesterday, I worked on the test scripts for the ordering flow.
65
Today, I will start the test automation for invoice generation.
66
I can't move forward with testing in Pre-Prod because I'm waiting for that environment to be set up.
67
So when other person is talking about what's blocking them,
68
you can offer to help.
69
And for that, you can use several expressions.
70
For example, you can say,
71
I can help you out with that,
72
or I can give you a hand with that,
73
let me help you with that,
74
or why don't I give you a hand or help you,
75
do you want me to help you,
76
would you like me to help you,
77
or would you like me to give you a hand,
78
I'd be happy to help you,
79
I'd be happy to give you a hand,
80
I'd be glad to help,
81
or do you want me to have a look?
82
So remember this, confidence comes with preparation and practice.
83
Prepare well, you already know what the questions are going to be,
84
so you can write your answers in Spanish
85
and translate it into English using the Google Translate
86
or any other translator that you you know
87
but please please please use your common sense to improve those
88
translations you can also write your answers on a Google Doc
89
and see what the autocorrect feature suggests so you can improve it
90
that way and make sure
91
that you know how to pronounce the verbs in the past both irregular
92
and regular and then repeat so repeat answering these questions
93
and why do I talk about repetition
94
because the more you say your answers the easier
95
and the more natural they will come in the future you can kind of
96
because the questions are always set you can kind of memorize a template in your mind
97
and then you fill in the blanks with whatever tasks you're doing at the moment
98
so remember preparation and repetition practice
99
that was it for today I hope you have enjoyed this video
100
and all the best in your next daily stand-up meeting see you next time bye
101
Thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在日常工作中，英语口语练习常常是挑战之一，特别是当我们需要在团队会议中发言时。这种会议通常被称为“日常站立会议”，持续约15分钟，旨在让团队了解彼此的工作进展。针对那些英语基础较弱的学习者，这样的场合不仅需要语言能力，还需要自信。通过观看相关的教学视频，你可以更好地准备自己的发言，确保你的意见能够清晰地传达给他人。通过反复练习，让自己在这样的场合中变得更加从容自信，将有助于提升你的沟通能力。
语法与表达在上下文中的应用
在视频中，讲话者使用了几个重要的语法结构来回答日常站立会议中的关键问题。以下是一些结构的分析：
- 简单过去时：例如：“昨天我做了……”使用这个时态可以清晰地表达你前一天的工作内容。
- 将来时：如“今天我将要做……”和“今天我会做……”是用来说明你当天的计划的。
- 现在进行时：使用如“今天我正在做……”可以表达你当前正在进行的任务，增加了表达的实时性。
这些表达方式非常实用，尤其在团队协作时，你可以通过模仿这些句式进行shadow speak（小声复述），强化你的口语能力。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，某些单词的发音可能对学习者来说较为复杂。例如，像“stand-up”这个词，音节的重音和连读可能会影响理解。因此，练习时注意这些细节，可以避免在会议中因为发音不准而造成的误解。此外，了解不同口音对同一词汇的影响，可以帮助你在团队中更有效地沟通，提升交流的流畅度。你也可以结合看YouTube学英语的视频进行反复练习，加深对发音的理解。
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。
