but i still was hearing this question

come out

on a regular basis do you have any

specific

tips you see as an english learner you

really want to speak english fluently

and you’re studying hard but sometimes

you need specific

tips so i said you know what i’m going

to create a lesson that will give

not only him but you too three

simple steps three simple steps that

will help you sound like a native

english speaker

now i know it may be surprising when you

think about

english as this large thing that you

have to overcome and accomplish

but trust me today’s lesson these

three simple steps are literally going

to help you start

speaking like a native english speaker

and thinking

and organizing your thoughts in english

simple steps i need you to do

i need you to like this video share this

and subscribe here we go

like share subscribe come on i said

like share subscribe last time like

share subscribe i’m teacher tiffany

let’s jump right in

[Music]

alright so when you speak in english you

want to speak fluently right

and these are the three simple steps you

need to focus on the first step being

name and basic description second

three key features and characteristics

and finally

personal opinion about a certain topic

or subject

now these three simple steps can apply

everything everything in english so i

need you to pay close

attention alright so the first step

let’s

jump right in here we go name or basic

description

the first thing you need to do is state

who

or what you will be talking about you

also need to give a short description of

the individual or

topic now let me explain this really

quickly the first part again being

stating what you will be talking about

this

is something that seems very basic

because as an english learner

you normally start off by saying what

you’re going to talk about

right but what happens is you stop there

sometimes right

if someone asks you a question hey how

was your week last week

you may say it was good right

a basic answer but again you need to

state what you’re talking about my week

was

good but then give a short description

of the topic you need to kind of give a

little bit more detail

and it doesn’t matter what the topic is

but you’re starting off

with the name or title and a short

description

this also introduces the listener into

what you are about to say it’s an

excellent way

to grab their attention you know i’ve

done a lesson before on how to give a

speech in english right

and we talked about the attention

grabber your goal

your purpose when you’re speaking in

english is to not only use

words but to also get the

the attention of the person you’re

speaking to right

you want them to understand what you’re

saying and also

speak to you go back and forth

in order to do this you must first

state what you’re talking about

introduce the individuals to the topic

all right

so you’re going to give for example the

exact name of the individual

situation or topic and then give a

simple description

so let’s say for example we have this

image right here it looks like a woman

sitting at

a table she’s either editing or

doing some coding on her computer so

we’re probably going to be talking about

someone dealing with computers

so let’s say this is the question

looking at this example here we go

here’s the question someone asks you

what do you study again you’re starting

off with the topic and a simple

description

here we go i am currently studying

computer graphics

which is a very popular major at my

university

so what happened the topic what’s the

topic

hey what are you studying maybe they’re

asking about

your university man your university

your university is amazing but i’m

curious

what are you studying now before you may

have just said

i’m studying computer graphics and stop

there but again

we’re trying to develop this system that

will help you speak

fluently using the three simple steps so

now you introduce the topic

i am currently studying computer

graphics oh but don’t stop there

short description which is a very

popular major at my university what

happens

when you give this short piece of

information right after you introduce

the topic

you’re actually grabbing their attention

they’re like oh really

i wonder why that’s so popular at

her university i wonder what else is

popular there

again remember fluency is not just about

the words that come out of your mouth

it’s also about encouraging the other

individual

to want to speak to you right to speak

with you and have a great conversation

so step one again you are

giving the topic and a short description

now if we move on to step number two

step number two is

giving three key features or

characteristics

the second thing you need to do is give

the three or

key features or characteristics of the

person situation

or topic you will be talking about you

should focus

only on three key features or

characteristics

now this is so interesting because i’ve

had so many conversations with my

students i’m going to drink some water

real quick guys

i have so many wonderful students and

one of my students

she would always say teacher i don’t

have three key

features right ooh this water’s good

y’all

um she said i don’t have three key

features she said i only have

two and i would always tell her hun a

hun

is another term just uh endearment it’s

just a nice way to say uh to someone

hey dear hey hun i say hun you know it’s

important to have

three key pieces of information it’s

very important if you only have

two later on you may forget

you might forget the information but if

you have three pieces of information

it will allow the person listening to

get a good understanding of what you’re

talking about

and once you get in the habit of

providing three pieces of information

your brain will also adapt and adjust so

whenever you’re studying something

it’s like your brain will gravitate and

grab three pieces of information

to hold on to all right so we would

always have this conversation

and exactly what i said would happen did

happen the next time we had class

she said ah teacher i can’t remember i

said i told you

your brain said oh you don’t want us to

have

three pieces of information fine we’ll

only give you two

again what i’m explaining is you’re

training your brain

to always have three pieces of

information

no matter what you’re studying again i

just drink some water right

now think about this if you talk about

this situation later

what are three pieces of information

three details or

features you can bring out from that

situation my teacher drank water

my teacher was really thirsty because

she was talking

my teacher said the water was amazing

three

key details about what just happened now

you see how naturally it was for me how

natural was for me to do that

because i’ve been practicing all my life

i’ve been learning english all my life

as a native english speaker so that’s

why it’s so important

to find three key features or

characteristics so let’s say for example

again we’re continuing

with the example we have this computer

here it looks like it’s dealing with

computer graphics as well

so again the question being what do you

study

three key details that i must understand

about computer graphics are that it

requires

an extensive understanding of various

math concepts

multiple art genres and modern

tech technology so you see

three key features or details were given

in order to understand computer graphics

it requires an extensive means of vast

abroad

right understanding of various math

concepts so now i know oh

math is important as it relates to

computer graphics math is important to

know

math art genres and technology

math art technology three key details so

now even for you

you’re watching this video maybe you

didn’t know that about computer graphics

but in my short answer giving those

three details now you have a better

understanding of

computer graphics now i want to tell you

something

you’re going to get to this point as

you’re practicing and trying to apply

these three simple steps

where you need help and that’s where

let’s keep going on with the lesson

y’all alright so again

we understand step number two now step

number three

is important your personal opinion

about it the third thing you need to do

is give your personal opinion

about the person situation or topic

you will be talking about you need to

remember to make your opinion clear and

easy to understand

now this is something that was a little

bit

tricky for me to teach my students when

i lived in south korea

because giving your opinion is

such a big part of american culture but

when i was in south korea it was

different

in south korea you’re used

people are used to listening to the

teacher the professor the person in

charge

and following the rules right not giving

their own personal ideas

it’s the way the culture is structured

and again korea has an amazing culture

but it’s very different from america our

culture is

based on and founded on giving your own

opinion right freedom of speech

and that’s a main or integral part of

speaking

english so giving your personal opinion

step three this is so important which

means you

have to have a good understanding of the

topic and you also have to know

hey what is my opinion what do i think

about this topic

this is very important so you’re going

to give your personal opinion

now you state a fact or a debated

situation
