Hello lovely students and welcome back to English with Lucy. In today's lesson, I'm going to show you how you can improve your English speaking skills alone.

同学们好,欢迎回到露西英语课堂。在今天的课程中,我们将学习如何独自一人提高英语口语能力。

That's right, just you, yourself, maybe a smartphone or a computer might help too.

是的,独自一人,智能手机或电脑也可能有所帮助。

Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an advanced learner looking to level up your fluency, you're definitely going to get something out of today's lesson.

无论你是刚入门的初学者还是希望提高流利程度的高级学习者,你都一定会从今天的课程中有所收获。

To help you further, I've also created a free PDF that has all of the different exercises broken down for you in a really clear way and there is a list of additional resources that will help you get the most out of your daily speaking practice.

为了进一步帮助你,我还创建了一个免费的PDF,其中清楚明白地分解了所有不同的练习,并且还有一系列其他资源可以帮助你充分利用日常口语练习 。

If you'd like to download that, just click on the link in the description box, you enter your name and your email address, you sign up to my mailing list and the PDF will arrive directly in your inbox.

下载只需单击描述框中的链接,输入姓名和电子邮件地址,注册到我的邮件列表,PDF将直接发送到收件箱。

And then after that you've joined my PDF club, you will automatically receive all of my free weekly PDFs along with all of my news, course updates and offers. It's a free service and you can unsubscribe at any time.

在加入我的PDF俱乐部后,你将自动收到我每周所有的免费 PDF以及消息、课程更新和优惠。 这是一项免费服务,可以随时取消订阅。

Okay, the exercises and techniques that I'm going to give you today will definitely boost your speaking skills but if you want a more structured approach to improving your English, you need to consider LanguaTalk.

我今天提供的练习和技巧肯定会提高口语技能,但如果想要更加系统性地提高英语水平,可以考虑LanguaTalk。

LanguaTalk is a brilliant platform where you can find ideal teachers to help you improve your target language. That might be English, it might be Spanish, French, Japanese, whatever.

LanguaTalk是一个出色的平台,你可以在这里找到理想的老师来提高目标语言,比如英语、西班牙语、法语、日语等等。

I started using it, and it was so incredible that I became a part of the company so technically, that means I'm sponsoring myself in this video.

我起初是用户,令人难以置信的是,我成为了公司的一员,也就是说我在这个视频中为自己打广告。

My husband and I are both using LanguaTalk, I'm learning Italian and Will is learning Spanish.

我和我丈夫都在使用LanguaTalk,我正在学习意大利语,威尔正在学习西班牙语。

We love both of our LanguaTalk tutors because they don't just have a deep understanding of Spanish and Italian, the languages we're learning, but they make our lessons really fun too.

我们很喜欢两位LanguaTalk导师,因为他们不仅对我们学习的西班牙语和意大利语有深入的了解,而且也让课程变得非常有趣。

Because the classes are one-on-one, we get so much personalised speaking practice. They teach us things that you just wouldn't learn in grammar books.

因为课程是一对一,所以我们获得了很多个性化的口语练习,学到了一些在语法书上学不到的东西。

If you would like to learn English or another language in the same way as us using LanguaTalk, I have got a special discount for you. You can get a $10 lesson credit by using the code SPEAKING10.

如果你也想使用LanguaTalk学习英语或其他语言,我可以提供折扣。你可以使用代码 SPEAKING10获得 10 美元的课程减免。

Your first trial lesson is usually free and then you can apply that $10 discount to the next lesson for the first time with LanguaTalk.

第一节试听课通常是免费的,你可以将10美元的折扣用于下一节课。

You activate the code by messaging the LanguaTalk support team after your first purchase.

首次购买后可以向LanguaTalk支持团队发送消息激活代码。

The link and the information are in the description box. I hope you love it as much as I do. Okay, let's get back to it.

相关链接和信息位于描述框中。我希望你和我一样喜欢它。让我们回到正题。

We will begin our lesson with a really fun yet effective warm-up: tongue twisters. These are great for practising those more challenging vowel and consonant sound and they are perfect for all levels.

我们将以一个非常有趣且有效的热身绕口令开始今天的课程。这些非常适合练习更具挑战性的元音和辅音,并且适合所有级别的学生。

They help you to improve your pronunciation by forcing you to repeat tricky sounds. The idea is to start slowly and then gradually speed up as you gain confidence.

它们强迫你重复困难的发音来帮助你提高发音。先慢慢开始,随着获得信心逐渐加快速度。

This repetition helps to train your English-speaking muscles and will get your tongue used to making English sounds.

这种重复有助于训练说英语的肌肉,并使舌头习惯英语的发音。

First up, a tongue twister for beginners, designed to help you practise the voiced /b/ sound and the unvoiced /p/ sound. Here it is slowly. Big bears play before painting pictures.

首先是针对初学者的绕口令,旨在练习浊音/b/音和清音/p/音。先慢慢开始:Big bears play before painting pictures.

Notice how my lips close to make the /p/ and /b/ sounds. In fact, the only major difference between these two sounds is that /b/ is voiced and /p/ is unvoiced.

注意我嘴唇发出/p/和/b/时的闭合。其实这两个音之间唯一的主要区别是/b/是浊音,而/p/是清音。

When a sound is voiced, your vocal cords vibrate. Another way to check if you're accurately making these sounds is to put a piece of paper or a tissue in front of your mouth like this.

发音时声带会振动。检查是否准确发音的另一种方法是将一张纸巾放在嘴前,如下所示。

We generally expel more air with unvoiced sounds, so the paper should move more when you make the /p/ sound and stay still when you make the /b/ sound.

我们通常用清音排出更多的空气,因此当你发出/p/时,纸张应该移动更多,而当你发出/b/时,纸张应该保持静止。

I look a bit strange doing that, don't I? Okay, now it's your turn. Try pausing the video and repeating the tongue twister three times, getting gradually faster.

这样做看起来有点奇怪,现在轮到你了。尝试暂停视频并重复绕口令三遍,逐渐加快速度。

Okay, are you ready for the next tongue twister? Pay attention to the /θ/, /?/, /s/ and /?/ sounds. This one is tricky. The sixtieth sheikh's sixth sheep's sick. Whoa.

准备好练习下一个绕口令了吗?注意/θ/、/?/、/s/和/?/的发音。这一点很棘手。The sixtieth sheikh's sixth sheep's sick.

Pause the video; try saying that 3 times fast. How did you find it? These exercises are a great way to warm your mouth up and get ready for more speaking practice.

暂停视频,试着快速说3遍。这些练习是为了让嘴巴热起来并为更多口语练习做好准备。

Okay, now I'm going to share some of my favourite methods and exercises that you can start doing today that will greatly improve your English speaking ability.

现在我将分享一些我最喜欢的方法和练习,你今天就可以开始练习,这将大大提高英语口语。

I'm going to share activities that are suitable for B1, B2, C1 and C2 levels. I have got a recommendation for A1/A2 learners. I have put them in the PDF.

我将分享适合B1、B2、C1和C2级别的练习。我也推荐了针对A1/A2学习者的练习。我已将它们放入PDF中。

I'm focusing on intermediate to advanced learners today in this lesson. Let's start with B1 to B2, the intermediate exercises. The first activity I've got for you is explain it like I'm 5.

今天我主要针对中级到高级学习者。 让我们从B1到B2开始。第一个练习就是向五岁的孩子解释一个话题。

This is a really unique challenge. It's all about clear communication using simple vocabulary.

这确实是一个独特的挑战。这一切都是为了使用简单的词汇进行清晰的沟通。

You have to pick a complex topic, maybe something related to one of your hobbies or work, and you have to explain it to a five-year-old.

选择一个复杂的话题,也许是与爱好或工作相关的话题,然后向一个五岁的孩子解释它。

The goal is to make your explanation as simple and clear as possible. As Albert Einstein once said, if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

目标是尽可能简单明了解释。正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾说,如果你不能用通俗易懂的语言解释,那就说明你还不够了解。

So here we are, putting this idea to the test. This exercise is a fantastic way to practise using straightforward language and breaking down complex ideas.

所以我们在这里测试这个观点。这个练习是练习使用简单语言拆解复杂想法的绝佳方法。

It also helps in mastering the art of clear and effective communication. Try explaining a concept like why is the sky blue in the simplest terms.

它还有助于习得清晰有效的沟通技巧。尝试用最简单的话解释一个概念,例如为什么天是蓝色的。

You might say the sky looks blue because of how sunlight reflects off the air.

你也许会说天空看起来是蓝色的,因为阳光在空气中反射。

You can also record your explanations, and you could even send them to other people you know who are learning English to check if they understand.

你还可以记下自己的解释,甚至可以将其发给你认识的正在学习英语的其他人,看看他们是否理解。

Give it a try with a topic you're passionate about and we can't practise speaking in the comments section, but we can practise your communication skills.

尝试一下感兴趣的主题,我们无法在评论区练习口语,但可以练习沟通技巧。

I would like you to explain something to me like I'm 5 years old in the comments section. I'd like you to take a really complex topic, break it down, make it simple so that I can understand.

我希望你在评论区向我解释一些事情,把我当做一个五岁的孩子。我希望你能提出一个非常复杂的话题,将其拆解,使其变得简单,以便我能够理解。

That's your homework for today. Okay, next activity: storytelling with prompts. This is great for any creative people out there.

这就是今天的作业。下一个练习:根据提示讲故事。这对于任何有创造力的人来说都很棒。

In this activity, you're going to use random images, objects, or online story prompt generators to spark your creativity and imagination.

在此练习中,你将使用随机图像、物体或在线故事提示生成器来激发创造力和想象力。

Your challenge is to create and narrate a short story aloud using these prompts. You should focus on adding rich details, vivid descriptions and lively dialogue to build a complete narrative.

挑战使用这些提示创作,并大声讲述一个短篇故事。添加丰富的细节、生动的描述和对话,构建完整的叙事。

This is like the opposite of the previous activity. I don't want simple anymore. I want complex and creative.

这与上一个练习相反。不要简单,要复杂且有创意。

This exercise enhances your creative thinking and helps you focus on creating sentences in narrative tenses, which is really good if you want to share anecdotes.

这项练习可以增强创造性思维,并帮助你专注于以叙事时态组织句子,如果你想分享奇闻轶事,这非常有帮助。

You also get a wonderful vocabulary boost. I've got a great resource for generating story prompts, and I put that in the PDF, so make sure you download that. I will give you a quick example.

词汇量也会得到极大提升。我有一个用于生成故事提示的丰富资源,我将其放入PDF中,请务必下载该资源。举一个简单的例子。

Let's say the prompt is a mysterious letter in the mail. Imagine who sent it, why and what happens next.

假设提示是邮件中的一封神秘信件。想象一下是谁发送的、为什么发送以及接下来会发生什么。

Narrate your story, incorporating the descriptions of characters, their feelings and some settings. easier, you can write a few notes on what you'd like to say before you speak and then say your story aloud.

讲述你的故事,结合人物描述、人物感受和一些背景。更简单的是,您可以在说之前写下一些想说的话,然后大声说出故事。

To make it slightly more challenging, you can set a timer for 1 to 2 minutes to give yourself time to think before you speak.

为了使其更具挑战性,可以设置一个1到2分钟的计时器,让自己在说话前有时间思考。

If you want to make it super challenging, start speaking immediately with no prep. I find this hard in English, I really do, so it is a real challenge.

如果你想使其变得超级具有挑战性,请立即开始演讲,无需任何准备。我觉得用英语描述很难,确实如此,所以这是一个真正的挑战。

The next exercise is actually my favourite one in this section. I strongly recommend keeping an audio diary. There are so many benefits and let me explain how it could work first.

下一个练习是本节中我最喜欢的一个。我强烈建议你保留音频日记。这有许多好处,让我先解释一下如何练习。

It's as simple as making a cup of tea or coffee, sitting down and having a relaxed chat with your phone. I know it sounds a little odd but stick with me on this.

就像泡一杯茶或咖啡,坐下来用手机轻松聊天一样简单。我知道这听起来有点奇怪,但请继续听我说。

Talk about your day; talk about your thoughts or experiences. It shouldn't be a stressful exercise, it's about practising your English in a conversational way.

谈论你的一天;谈谈你的想法或经历。这应该不是一个有压力的练习,而是以对话的方式练习英语。

On WhatsApp, you can send messages to yourself. I send WhatsApps to myself all the time when I want to remember something. Each day, commit to sending a 1-minute audio to yourself.

在WhatsApp上,你可以给自己发消息。当我想记住某件事时,我总是给自己发。每天向自己发送1分钟的音频。

It can be really nice to look back over too. As you narrate your diary, if you stumble upon a word that doesn't come to mind in English, jot it down in your native language.

回顾过去真的很美好。当你叙述日记时,如果你偶然发现一个英语单词想不起来,请用母语记下来。

At the end of your entry, look up the words using an online dictionary tool. My favourite is the Oxford Learner's Dictionary and pay attention to their pronunciation.

输入结束后,使用在线词典工具查单词。我最喜欢的是牛津学习词典,注意它们的发音。

Usually, they show both British and American versions of the pronunciation, which is awesome. Then you can just try your sentence again with the new English word!

通常都会显示英式和美式发音,这很棒。然后你可以用新的英语单词再次组织句子!

Another interesting thing that you can do that can check how easy you are to understand is to use something like your notes application.

另一件有趣的事情是使用诸如笔记应用程序之类的东西来检查掌握程度。

Click on the little microphone icon and your speech will be dictated in written form while you're recording it. And this will give you immediate feedback on your pronunciation.

单击小麦克风图标,演讲将在录制时以书面形式口述。这将提供有关发音的即时反馈。

Look, it's not going to give you pronunciation feedback, but it will give you an indication as to whether you arespeaking clearly or not.

它不会给你发音反馈,但它会给你一个暗示,告诉你说话是否清晰。

If the phone can understand you, that's a good sign. But remember, don't worry if it doesn't understand you too well.

如果手机能够理解,这是一个好兆头。但请记住,如果它不太理解,也请不要担心。

I love this activity because it's all about integrating English into your daily life, actively using new vocabulary and expressing coherent, fluent thoughts.

我喜欢这项练习,因为它将英语融入日常生活,积极使用新词汇表达连贯、流利的想法。

It's practical, it's reflective and it's really beneficial for enhancing your spoken English. After a few weeks of audio entries, it will become a habit and something you kind of look forward to each day.

它很实用,具有反思性,对提高英语口语非常有益。经过几周的音频输入,这将成为一种习惯,且成为每天都期待的事情。

And the really cool thing is that if you are recording it on WhatsApp or something like that, you can track your own speaking progress.

最酷的是,如果你在WhatsApp或类似的软件上录制它,你可以跟踪你自己的演讲进度。

You'll be able to listen to your entries from one, two or even six months ago and see how far you've come. Let me know if you try this method and how you find it.

你可以听一两个月甚至六个月前的条目,看看自己已经走了多远。请让我知晓是否你尝试了这个练习,以及结果如何。

Okay, let's move on to C1 to C2, more advanced activities. First up, I want to explore the world of podcasts. This is an increasingly popular medium for storytelling and sharing ideas.

继续进行C1到C2,即更高级的练习。首先,我想探索播客。这是一种越来越流行的讲故事和分享想法的媒介。

And I would like you to create your own podcast episode! Imagine you've been invited onto a podcast to discuss a topic you're passionate about.

我希望你创建自己的播客!想象一下被邀请加入播客来讨论感兴趣的主题。

Prepare some questions you expect to be asked about this topic, then record yourself answering these questions as if you were in a live interview.

准备一些预计会被问到的相关问题,记录自己回答这些问题的过程,就像在现场采访中一样。

This exercise allows you to practise articulating your thoughts clearly on subjects that you're really enthusiastic about. And the important thing is to listen back to your speech.

这个练习可以让你在真正热衷的主题上清楚地表达观点。重要的是回听你的演讲。

Alternatively, you could find a podcast on a topic you really enjoy and you can listen carefully to the interviewer's questions. Pause after each question and answer it as if you were the interviewee.

或者找到真正喜欢的主题的播客,然后仔细听采访者的问题,把自己当成受访者暂停并回答。

This tests not only your comprehension but also your ability to respond thoughtfully in real time. It's a good thing to practise in your own language as well.

这不仅测试理解力,还测试深思熟虑即兴反应的能力。用母语练习也会有帮助。

Then hit play and listen to the actual response. My final exercise of the day is an advanced version of the explain it like I'm 5 activity. I call it teach it!

然后点击播放听真实的回答。最后一个练习是“向五岁的孩子解释它”的进阶版本,我称之为教它!

Think about a hobby or skill that you're proficient in and imagine that you have to teach this to someone else, but entirely in English.

想想自己精通的一项爱好或技能,并想象必须将其教给其他人,但完全用英语。

It could be anything you do on a regular basis, cooking a specific dish, playing a musical instrument, practising yoga. The key is to break down your skill into teachable, understandable segments.

它可以是你经常做的任何事,烹饪特定的菜肴,演奏乐器,练习瑜伽等等。关键是将你的技能拆解为可教授、可理解的部分。

I used to do this all the time when I was actively learning Spanish. You would not believe the amount of Spanish cooking shows that I have hosted in my kitchen with no one watching, I sincerely hope.

学习西班牙语时,我一直就这样做。我真心希望,你不会相信我在厨房里举办了很多无人观看的西班牙菜烹饪节目。

When you teach something, you have to understand it deeply and be able to explain it.

当你教授某样东西时,你必须深入理解并能够解释。

Doing this in English will not only expand your vocabulary related to your hobby, but it will also improve your fluency and your ability to convey complex ideas clearly.

用英语这样做不仅可以扩大与爱好相关的词汇量,而且还可以提高英语流利程度以及清晰表达复杂想法的能力。

It's an awesome way to apply your English skills in a practical, real-world context and the best thing to do is to record yourself teaching.

这是在现实环境中应用英语技能的好方法,最好的办法就是记录自己的教学。

It's hard to watch back sometimes, but no one else has to watch, and you'll really catch errors that you don't even know you're making. Okay, that brings us to the end of our session today.

有时很难回头看,但没有其他人就必须自己看,而且你真的会发现你甚至不知道自己正在犯的错误。今天的课程到此结束。

I hope I gave you some food for thought on how to practise your speaking alone.

我希望我能给你一些关于如何独自一人练习口语的启发。

I've only touched on a few exercises today, I've included a lot more in the PDF, including some lower-level activities and some more at C1 and C2.

视频中只涉及了一些练习,PDF中包含更多内容,包括一些较低级别的练习以及C1和C2的更多练习。

I've also got that list of resources and links for you to use. Just click on the link in the description box to download that.

我还提供了资源和链接列表。只需单击描述框中的链接即可下载。

In the description box, you also have all of the information on how to access LanguaTalk and claim your $10 discount. I will see you soon for another lesson.
