00:00:32.000 yourself believe it or not it's the 16 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.159 hardest part of the toefl speaking and 17 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.800 practicing speaking in general is how 18 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:38.800 you can do it by yourself so i'm going 19 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.879 to show you how to do it and the biggest 20 00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:42.079 thing i'm going to let you know the 21 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.000 biggest tip i'm going to give you today 22 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.920 is basically to change your speech to 23 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.000 text and i'm going to show you how to do 24 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.399 that and so we're going to go step by 25 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.039 step through the process my name is josh 26 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.360 i'm with tst prep thank you for joining 27 00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:00.160 me let's get right into it how to 28 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:01.760 practice every day you're going to know 29 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:04.319 exactly what to do every day by the end 30 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.000 of this so you're going to stop being 31 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.600 confused and you're going to start 32 00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:09.920 knowing exactly how to practice every 33 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.400 day for the toefl speaking and 34 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.720 the best part it'll take less than 15 35 00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:17.040 minutes every day all right let's get 36 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.159 into it 37 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.119 so 38 00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:21.119 the first step that you need to do is 39 00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:23.759 that you need to identify your weakness 40 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:26.479 this is crucial now why is this crucial 41 00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:28.319 because 42 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.720 there are if you you need to know what 43 00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.119 you have to work on okay so i'm actually 44 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:35.600 not going to tell you to do uh toefl 45 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:37.119 speaking test practice you can 46 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:38.880 definitely do that that is a way to 47 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:40.959 practice and i encourage it but i'm not 48 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.720 going to talk about that here i'm going 49 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.759 to talk about a routine designed to help 50 00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:48.159 you improve and how do you improve well 51 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.360 first you got to know what your weak 52 00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:50.720 points are 53 00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:54.399 uh there are three main categories your 54 00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:57.680 structure your vocabulary and grammar or 55 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.880 your speech music so the first one 56 00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:03.840 structure is probably the easiest one to 57 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.719 fix 58 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.520 because that is just if you have a 59 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.000 template or not basically as long as you 60 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.360 know what to say in the beginning in the 61 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.480 middle and at the end you should be fine 62 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:16.160 so that's actually the easiest one to 63 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:17.760 fix 64 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.639 harder becomes vocabulary and grammar 65 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.480 you don't have enough vocabulary the 66 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:25.200 vocabulary is too simple or your grammar 67 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:27.440 is too simple and then speech music 68 00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:29.040 pronunciation and that's the hardest 69 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:31.840 thing to work on 70 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.239 if you need to help identifying your 71 00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:36.959 weaknesses i put a list of a bunch of 72 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:39.919 categories here this is from 73 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.080 ets's 74 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.879 ai this is called speech rater that they 75 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.879 use to check your 76 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.040 speaking there's a bunch of different 77 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:51.599 scoring dimensions here there's about 78 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.760 12. i'm going to talk about some of them 79 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:55.040 here 80 00:02:55.040 --> 00:02:57.200 but speech music to go over some of them 81 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.000 here speaking rate is how fast you speak 82 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.959 sustained speech is how much you pause 83 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:05.360 how much you say uh or um 84 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.239 pause frequency same thing repetition is 85 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:09.840 if you're saying the same word over and 86 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.040 over again 87 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:12.560 response length you want to make sure 88 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.879 you speak for the appropriate amount of 89 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.560 time 45 seconds or 60 seconds and pauses 90 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.720 again this is more about if you pause at 91 00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:22.400 weird times 92 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.000 native speakers tend to pause at 93 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.159 specific times 94 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.519 like that time 95 00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:30.480 uh rhythm is your kind of speech music 96 00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:32.480 and vowels is how you pronounce 97 00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:34.799 vowels okay so 98 00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:37.200 if you need help with knowing your 99 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:39.440 weaknesses i recommend a site called my 100 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:41.360 speaking score which can give you an ai 101 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.159 score like this it's in beta right now 102 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.640 but i do recommend it or to get a 103 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:49.599 evaluation at tst prep and we will show 104 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.159 you

00:03:58.720 that uh screen here yeah so if you go to 108 00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:01.200 tst prep we have speaking evaluation 109 00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:04.000 speaking classes again this is a great 110 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.319 way to improve your score but 111 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.560 focusing on weaknesses here if you 112 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.000 really need to know your weaknesses get 113 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.239 a speaking evaluation and meet with a 114 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:14.239 teacher so she can tell you or he can 115 00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:17.839 tell you what you need to do to improve 116 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.560 so to go back to this document here 117 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.400 you can visit either my speaking score 118 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.600 or tst prep to get a evaluation on what 119 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.520 your weaknesses are but probably you 120 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:29.360 have an idea you probably know a little 121 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.320 bit about what your issue is okay and 122 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.479 i'm going to show you what activities to 123 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:36.960 do to actually improve on them so i'm 124 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:38.400 going to get to that but this is the 125 00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:41.520 first step is identify your weaknesses 126 00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:44.800 the next step is to set your intention 127 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.000 now this is the part that i skip when 128 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.080 i practice japanese 129 00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:51.600 and this is the part that most students 130 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.080 skip because it's like setting a goal it 131 00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:56.479 takes a minute but it's just something 132 00:04:56.479 --> 00:04:57.600 that is 133 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.680 easy to skip because it feels like it's 134 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.000 not so helpful you know you feel like oh 135 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.160 i'd rather just practice practice is the 136 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.639 most helpful thing but really when you 137 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.320 set your intention you say what you're 138 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:11.440 gonna focus on that really helps focus 139 00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:13.360 your mind on what you need to do to 140 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.560 improve 141 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.400 so i'll give you some examples of 142 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:19.680 different intentions you can set 143 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.680 i will begin my answer to this question 144 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.680 with either the phrase in my opinion or 145 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.279 that's an interesting question so this 146 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:26.960 is if you're trying to expand your 147 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:29.839 vocabulary or improve your structure 148 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.120 or i will include a personal example so 149 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.800 think about a personal example that you 150 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.039 want to include 151 00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:39.120 for vocabulary and grammar 152 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.440 uh maybe i will avoid using the word 153 00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:43.600 good in my answer i say good way too 154 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.199 much i'm not going to say good this time 155 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.520 let me try to say something else 156 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:49.680 or i will use two new phrases in my 157 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.080 response maybe personally speaking or to 158 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:53.279 be honest 159 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.000 again you can do a lot with this here 160 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.759 maybe you want to include a conditional 161 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.279 sentence but really just have one or two 162 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:02.319 goals 163 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.880 each time you answer a question that's 164 00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:07.600 it one or two goals each time you answer 165 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.800 a question 166 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.880 what's going to happen is is that you're 167 00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:13.520 going to notice that there are a lot of 168 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.759 things that you feel like you need to 169 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.839 improve and it's going to be tough 170 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.600 because there's just so many things that 171 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.279 you want to do better 172 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.039 and so what i suggest is that you focus 173 00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:28.240 on just a couple of things one or two 174 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.560 things that you want to do better and 175 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.360 focus on that okay let me get back to 176 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.919 the uh little presentation here 177 00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:36.800 okay 178 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.240 so 179 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.160 uh so you're gonna use a phrase like 180 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.199 that 181 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.639 and then speech music and pronunciation 182 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.800 may be something like 183 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.839 i will pick two words with the th sound 184 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.639 the th sound i have trouble with that 185 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.759 and i will include words like think or 186 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.360 tooth 187 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.360 maybe you don't have to do that tooth of 188 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.800 course you don't have to say but you'll 189 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.800 definitely have to say the word think 190 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.960 so it's a good idea to practice that if 191 00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:07.440 you're having trouble with th 192 00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:09.520 or maybe you're gonna try to link words 193 00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:12.160 together in a phrase so you you speak 194 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.240 too slow you say each word in my opinion 195 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.160 you don't link them together like in my 196 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.080 opinion in my opinion 197 00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:23.520 so that's a good goal to set if your 198 00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:26.240 speaking is a bit slow a couple phrases 199 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.880 you want to try to link together 200 00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:31.199 okay so 201 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.360 that's the second step 202 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.080 by the way all this so far all you're 203 00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:38.960 doing is setting your intention so you 204 00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:40.639 identify your weakness you do that when 205 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.080 you start studying 206 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:43.680 every day first thing you do is set your 207 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.440 intention that's the first thing you do 208 00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:48.000 what i want to accomplish today 209 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.400 the second thing you do every day is 210 00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:52.479 record and transcribe your response this 211 00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:54.560 will take about five minutes 212 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.440 so 213 00:07:55.440 --> 00:07:58.560 use the questions in this video uh it's 214 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.800 it looks like this here there's 10 215 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.440 sample questions and answers here 216 00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:06.319 and or you could also visit tst prep's 217 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.039 uh speaking practice page 218 00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:11.199 which i will just show really quickly 219 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.800 here 220 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.879 this is the speaking evaluation page but 221 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.000 if you go on the top here where it says 222 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.680 donate essentially practice your 223 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.000 speaking if you look here there are 224 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.400 practice questions five for each 225 00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:26.400 question type so definitely visit this 226 00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:28.960 site and you can listen to other sample 227 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:31.120 responses from other students as well 228 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.599 here it's a pretty helpful resource i'll 229 00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:37.039 link to it in the description below 230 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.240 but to go back to what i was saying here 231 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.599 you want to use one of those questions 232 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.599 now why one of those questions i'll get 233 00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:45.920 to that in a second but first 234 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:48.958 you want to record and transcribe your 235 00:08:48.958 --> 00:08:50.480 response 236 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.640 means you listen back to your response 237 00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:54.958 and you type out what you heard a very 238 00:08:54.958 --> 00:08:56.720 painful experience 239 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.040 okay so why is that 240 00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:02.559 your goal is to turn speech into text 241 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.040 text is easier to analyze 242 00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:07.279 recording your voice and transcribing it 243 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.279 gives you the power to analyze your 244 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.600 speech the same way you would analyze a 245 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.279 piece of text 246 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.240 so in other words uh this is i believe i 247 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.360 put a transcription here uh no i didn't 248 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.040 but anyway so 249 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:24.320 there if you transcribe your response 250 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.240 and you have your response written out 251 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.640 what you can do okay let me hold on i 252 00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:32.720 want to show you a a transcription let 253 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.760 me pause this and let me show you a 254 00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:35.360 transcription hold on one second hold on 255 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.480 hold on 256 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.920 all right i'm back so 257 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:39.760 yeah you can see a response here like 258 00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:42.880 this i transcribed my recording so it's 259 00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:45.040 about a paragraph long probably about 260 00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:48.320 150 words uh and so you want to take a 261 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.120 couple minutes to do that this is much 262 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.279 easier to analyze 263 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.160 than just a recording that you listen to 264 00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:57.279 okay so 265 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.800 that's why 266 00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:01.040 taking your speech and putting it on 267 00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:04.078 text is really really really helpful you 268 00:10:04.078 --> 00:10:07.120 might not like what you hear but you can 269 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.519 check your speaking on a deeper level 270 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.880 okay and i'm going to show you some 271 00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:12.240 things to do so i'm not going to just 272 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.880 say transcribe and that's it you can do 273 00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:16.800 do even more with that i'm going to be 274 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:19.760 very specific with what you can do okay 275 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:22.078 so you can do a lot with a transcription 276 00:10:22.078 --> 00:10:24.800 like this but let me get back to uh what 277 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:27.200 i was saying here where you should 278 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.920 practice a speaking response 279 00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:32.958 let me find my uh my document here here 280 00:10:32.958 --> 00:10:35.200 we go so 281 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.880 and so you want to record your voice and 282 00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:38.480 then you want to write a transcript for 283 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.440 it 284 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.679 so i'm going to imagine that you have a 285 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.600 question like this this is one of the 286 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.600 first questions in this video 287 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.880 and 288 00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:49.040 record your voice and record it 289 00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:51.360 naturally don't do this 290 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.839 don't do this don't don't be like uh 291 00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:55.360 okay so 292 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.920 uh children and teenagers should 293 00:10:57.920 --> 00:10:59.040 uh 294 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:00.160 let's see should not be allowed to use 295 00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:02.800 any specimen uh i disagree children 296 00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:04.399 should be able to use wait i messed up 297 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.640 let me do that again 298 00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:09.120 okay so wait no i messed up do it again 299 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.440 you want to try to do it as naturally as 300 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.519 possible you don't want to type it out 301 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.000 first you want it to be the way that 302 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.399 it'll be experienced on the test your 303 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.679 natural voice your natural speaking okay 304 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.800 try not to re-record a bunch of times 305 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:26.320 you could do it maybe once like i did it 306 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.399 once here so it's okay but that's the 307 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.320 most you want to do you really want to 308 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.360 try to make it as natural as possible as 309 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.399 much like the test as possible 310 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.600 okay so 311 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.559 uh 312 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:40.640 so and the other thing is that you want 313 00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:43.440 to have a 314 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.839 a other the reason why i encourage you 315 00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:49.040 to use our speaking questions is because 316 00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:51.440 we have sample answers and you can 317 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.078 listen to a sample answer and compare it 318 00:11:54.078 --> 00:11:56.480 here's the transcript i was looking for 319 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.200 so you can listen to my response 320 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.279 or another teacher's response or another 321 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.399 person's response see the transcript and 322 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.480 compare your speaking to ours 323 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.440 okay 324 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.360 so here's what some of the things you 325 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.639 can do 326 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.240 and here are some of the problems by the 327 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.639 way when you're speaking alone in a room 328 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.160 is that you're thinking like is this 329 00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:20.399 what a native speaker would say it would 330 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.720 my teacher think this is okay 331 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.559 is there some part of my pronunciation 332 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.880 that sounds strange you know my ears are 333 00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:28.480 different than a than a native speaker 334 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.720 is there something that i can't hear 335 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:31.519 right 336 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.440 or would a native speaker use this 337 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.040 phrase is this a weird phrase you know 338 00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:36.800 is this something a native speaker would 339 00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:38.480 say i don't know you know and that's why 340 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.800 we you usually need a teacher right 341 00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.160 teachers are great i'm going to 342 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:44.720 recommend them constantly at cst prep 343 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.320 but you can do this by comparing your 344 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.800 answer to a native speaker's answer okay 345 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:53.200 so that's one way to get around that to 346 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.040 get around the idea of like i don't know 347 00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:57.440 if this is natural well compare it to a 348 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.920 teacher their perfect response my 349 00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:02.559 perfect response here right 350 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.880 now there are a few options a few things 351 00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:07.519 you can do here 352 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.839 you can add one or two sentences 353 00:13:09.839 --> 00:13:11.279 somewhere in your own response and 354 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.760 repeat it again so you see my response 355 00:13:13.760 --> 00:13:15.679 here and you think oh this sounds good i 356 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.399 like 357 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.958 the flow i like this phrase i want to 358 00:13:18.958 --> 00:13:21.600 say this okay so 359 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.000 take your take two sentences from here 360 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.920 and put it in your transcript and read 361 00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.958 it aloud okay and add that and maybe 362 00:13:28.958 --> 00:13:31.279 think about next time there's a couple 363 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.519 of phrases that you want to use in your 364 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.200 own response 365 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.120 so that's one thing you can do add a 366 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.199 couple sentences a couple phrases that 367 00:13:39.199 --> 00:13:41.839 you like from my own 368 00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:44.399 the second thing you can do is read each 369 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.078 sentence aloud 370 00:13:46.078 --> 00:13:48.639 so this is not shadowing this is read 371 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.720 aloud this is different so let me show 372 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.399 you how it would work 373 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.000 you would read this without listening 374 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.920 well you know this is an interesting 375 00:13:57.920 --> 00:13:59.600 question because i think social media 376 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.559 has both positive and negative effects 377 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.639 and then you listen to 378 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.880 the recording what i said or what 379 00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.199 somebody else a teacher said 380 00:14:09.199 --> 00:14:11.839 and then you hear if what you said 381 00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:13.199 was the same 382 00:14:13.199 --> 00:14:15.760 music you had the same pauses you had 383 00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:18.078 the same intonation you had the same 384 00:14:18.078 --> 00:14:19.199 stress 385 00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:20.880 you don't want to try to think of all of 386 00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:24.079 that pick one or two things i'm going to 387 00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:25.920 keep saying this over and over again one 388 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:29.279 or two things pick one or two things 389 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.440 that you wanna focus on for example 390 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.199 syllable stress you wanna say okay i'm 391 00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:35.199 gonna listen for the stress for the word 392 00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:37.600 interesting and i wanna see if the way i 393 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.760 say it is the same as the person 394 00:14:39.760 --> 00:14:40.800 speaking 395 00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:43.199 interesting interesting 396 00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:46.000 okay so just have one thing to focus on 397 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.480 very small 398 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.079 another thing you can do is if if you 399 00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:52.720 struggle with vocabulary is replace 10 400 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.839 words so either in your own transcript 401 00:14:55.839 --> 00:14:58.560 or in my own transcript here think of 402 00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:00.800 some synonyms that you could say instead 403 00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:02.079 of let's say 404 00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:04.959 my family instead of my family you could 405 00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:06.399 say uh 406 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.160 the people close to me or my loved ones 407 00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:12.880 something like that right uh hard for a 408 00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:15.440 synonym for your family but uh that's an 409 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.240 example so you want to try to find 410 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.720 ways of expanding your vocabulary maybe 411 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.360 just five words that you want to replace 412 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.120 and then say it again 413 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.800 and this is going to help expand your 414 00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:28.320 vocabulary 415 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.839 and then tomorrow 416 00:15:29.839 --> 00:15:32.000 your intention can be 417 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.480 i want to try to use three of the words 418 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.040 i used yesterday when i replace those 419 00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:38.800 words okay 420 00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:40.720 so that's the way that you can expand 421 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.639 your vocabulary on your own if you 422 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.639 struggle with vocabulary 423 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.880 maybe you can replace two sentences 424 00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:49.680 instead of ten words or five words you 425 00:15:49.680 --> 00:15:51.440 can do two sentences 426 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.720 you can say something like uh okay i use 427 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.040 the simple present too much in my 428 00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:58.399 response 429 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.040 now i want to use present perfect i'm 430 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:02.560 going to rewrite the sentence and then 431 00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:04.320 do it again see how 432 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.040 writing everything out having this as 433 00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:10.000 text that you can actually read is so 434 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.399 much more powerful than if you're just 435 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.079 speaking okay speaking comes and goes 436 00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:18.480 recording is a good way to try to catch 437 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.000 the speaking 438 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.279 but typing it out gives you the power to 439 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.440 kind of play with the language and 440 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:26.880 that's why i like topo speaking 441 00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:28.160 questions because they're one minute 442 00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:30.959 long it's like the perfect length it's 443 00:16:30.959 --> 00:16:33.839 it's not too boring to transcribe you 444 00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:35.920 know and so you can really go deep in a 445 00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:38.079 one-minute response for about 15 minutes 446 00:16:38.079 --> 00:16:39.120 a day 447 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.880 you can see the vocabulary you want to 448 00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:42.720 change you can see the grammar that 449 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.720 could be a bit better you can see the 450 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.560 words that your pronunciation is a bit 451 00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:47.519 off 452 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.480 and then when you have a native speaker 453 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.880 or like myself or another teacher's 454 00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:55.360 sample responses to compare 455 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.519 you can see okay what sounds natural 456 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.079 what doesn't sound natural so it's a 457 00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:02.800 really effective tool to help you 458 00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:05.119 improve every day okay 459 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:05.919 so 460 00:17:05.919 --> 00:17:07.919 let me get sorry i'm excited let me get 461 00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:10.959 back to this here um 462 00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:12.480 so 463 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.679 i'm in the wrong place okay 464 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.000 the last thing i'm going to recommend is 465 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.359 shadow and i'm going to go deep into 466 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.439 shadow right now because this is when 467 00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:23.760 you have trouble with speech music and 468 00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:26.799 pronunciation that hardest part okay so 469 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.359 when you have trouble with speaking rate 470 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.720 you're speaking too slow too many pauses 471 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.919 uh you 472 00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:35.760 you don't have the right type of speech 473 00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:36.799 music 474 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.559 or you don't have the right 475 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.880 pronunciation of certain vowels okay so 476 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.960 we're gonna shadow 477 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.640 with purpose now let me just show you 478 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.359 what shadowing is really quickly uh 479 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.080 shadowing is when you 480 00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:52.400 basically listen and repeat 481 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.320 you don't listen and repeat to a really 482 00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:56.799 long uh you don't have to listen i would 483 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.039 go sentence by sentence or pause by 484 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.919 pause i usually go pause by pause when 485 00:18:01.919 --> 00:18:05.600 i'm doing this for my own studies 486 00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:07.520 well you know this is an interesting 487 00:18:07.520 --> 00:18:09.359 question pause 488 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.880 well you know this is an interesting 489 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.400 question and i'll try to say it the same 490 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.160 way 491 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.840 because i think social media has both 492 00:18:15.840 --> 00:18:17.840 positive and negative effects because i 493 00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:19.359 think social media has both positive and 494 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.760 negative effects now maybe that's hard 495 00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.119 to shadow 496 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.359 maybe you can't say all that in one 497 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:26.240 breath 498 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.039 right that's totally fine 499 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.880 shadowing is just kind of 500 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.440 building your awareness 501 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.080 of how a native speaker or somebody 502 00:18:36.080 --> 00:18:40.000 who's very fluent in english would speak 503 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.480 the goal is not for you to sound perfect 504 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.280 it's just to build your awareness 505 00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:47.359 and if you keep building your awareness 506 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.119 over time 507 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.960 you're going to improve 508 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.880 that's it you just will you'll 509 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.799 understand okay i can't say it the same 510 00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:57.119 way what am i doing wrong 511 00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.119 how do i have to change my mouth and my 512 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.080 physical 513 00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:00.960 uh 514 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.600 my body to be able to say things this 515 00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:06.640 way right and you'll be able to start 516 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.200 asking the right questions instead of 517 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.600 saying like i can't say the th sound 518 00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:13.600 what am i supposed to do you google it 519 00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:15.679 you see some videos of somebody's tongue 520 00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:16.960 and mouth and 521 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.480 you know and all that kind of stuff and 522 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.039 you're like wow okay so now i get it and 523 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.119 you still can't produce it 524 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.440 so we want to build an awareness 525 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.799 and by building an awareness you're 526 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.880 thinking about it every day and that 527 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.400 helps you improve 528 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.320 don't have to be perfect don't worry 529 00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:34.559 about being perfect you're just 530 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.320 getting used to it 531 00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:37.600 all right 532 00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:39.039 so uh 533 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.080 shadowing with purpose 534 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.799 here are a couple things you can do 535 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.840 based on what your weaknesses so 536 00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:49.840 a lot of these weaknesses these grading 537 00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:52.640 criteria are very similar speaking rate 538 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.960 sustained speech pause frequency 539 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:56.880 distribution of pauses and response 540 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.520 length this all has to do with how much 541 00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:02.320 you say and how much you pause that's 542 00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:03.840 pretty much it 543 00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:05.200 and so 544 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:06.960 it's connected to your ability to link 545 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.520 words together and speak in one breath 546 00:20:09.520 --> 00:20:11.359 alright so you want to work on trying to 547 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.039 speak and breathe at the same time as 548 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.200 the speaker so that's what you focus on 549 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.119 you want to speak and breathe at the 550 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.600 same time you want to listen for pauses 551 00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:22.159 and try to pause at the same time 552 00:20:22.159 --> 00:20:24.159 that's your focus 553 00:20:24.159 --> 00:20:26.240 you don't want to focus on intonation 554 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.960 syllable stress no just pausing at the 555 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.159 same time 556 00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:33.280 one goal focus on it 557 00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:35.520 uh try a couple times before moving go 558 00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:37.520 on your goal is not to be perfect yeah 559 00:20:37.520 --> 00:20:38.960 i'm just gonna say this over and over 560 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.359 again your goal is not to be perfect i 561 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.200 have students that i ask them to do 562 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.799 things like this and they say look i'm 563 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.119 not you i can't speak like you and i 564 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.960 don't want you to speak like me i want 565 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.720 you to just improve your speaking 566 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.440 improve your intelligibility which means 567 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.080 that people are able to understand you 568 00:20:56.080 --> 00:20:58.240 and it and over time you won't sound 569 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.640 like me you'll sound like yourself 570 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.640 that people understand who people 571 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.799 understand so that's the crucial thing 572 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.679 we just want to be understood and you're 573 00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:08.799 not going to be 574 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:10.480 the same exact you're not going to speak 575 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.880 exactly the same as me but you will 576 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.640 improve your awareness over time 577 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.280 repetitions if you repeat the same word 578 00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:22.080 okay it's it shows a lack of vocabulary 579 00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.159 or confidence 580 00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:26.080 when you shadow identify one word or 581 00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:28.480 phrase that is a synonym that you repeat 582 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.559 often okay so 583 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.640 you want to find words phrases 584 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.480 expressions to help you expand your 585 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.760 vocabulary this is like that uh 10 words 586 00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:41.520 activity that i showed you before right 587 00:21:41.520 --> 00:21:44.799 rhythm so this is about a lot of this 588 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.039 has to do with syllable stress where you 589 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.200 put the stress interesting 590 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.480 interesting interesting interesting 591 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.720 interesting no no 592 00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:56.400 interesting no 593 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.440 interesting 594 00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.440 no interesting 595 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:00.799 interesting 596 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.080 interesting 597 00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:03.679 interesting 598 00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:05.600 you have to have the right stress in the 599 00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:08.080 right place so you want to try to listen 600 00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:10.000 for stress if you're having trouble with 601 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.039 that 602 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.840 especially words that are longer two or 603 00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:15.760 more syllables 604 00:22:15.760 --> 00:22:16.880 all right 605 00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.640 and 606 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.240 what i said here do not worry about your 607 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.240 pronunciation and speed right now and 608 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.720 just focus instead on stressing so when 609 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.760 you focus on one part of your speech 610 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:29.520 the other parts of your speech are gonna 611 00:22:29.520 --> 00:22:32.080 start going down right your focus on 612 00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:34.000 syllable stress you start speaking 613 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.640 slower you start focusing on speed your 614 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.359 pronunciation gets hurt okay that's 615 00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.240 natural just focus on doing the one 616 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:43.760 thing that you're trying to accomplish 617 00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:45.600 right now that's the most important 618 00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:46.799 thing 619 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.000 all right 620 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.840 valves vowels are a little bit tricky 621 00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:52.080 you're going to have to find out which 622 00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:54.559 vowel sounds are hard for you 623 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.960 a lot of it depends on your nationality 624 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.520 and your first language so this is where 625 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:04.000 i would recommend getting a teacher or 626 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.119 or a ai score so you can see what vowels 627 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.520 might be a bit of trouble for you 628 00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:12.320 find words with those vowels it's really 629 00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:14.720 simple all you do is type into google 630 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.720 words with the vowel sound and then you 631 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.520 say that the sound and you try to 632 00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:21.359 practice those words and build them up 633 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.640 over time 634 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.039 notice them when you're speaking try to 635 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:26.799 include them in your speech if you want 636 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.520 or just avoid them okay 637 00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:31.679 one thing for example some people really 638 00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:35.039 have trouble with the th sound 639 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.039 and so if a student really struggles 640 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.039 with it i say okay try not to say words 641 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.520 with the for toefl speaking try to say i 642 00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:44.000 believe or i feel right so you can do 643 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.320 that as well so find ways to improve 644 00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:48.159 your vowel sounds but for toefl you can 645 00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:49.840 try to just avoid the sound altogether 646 00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:52.080 if you really want 647 00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:55.840 and i think that's it yeah so as always 648 00:23:55.840
