let’s jump right in day one all right
day one the first thing you want to do
is select five topics you are interested
in it’s very important that you are
interested in the topics now this is
because you will gain confidence by
speaking about topics you are actually
interested in you see let me explain
this more with the graphic what happens
is your current world is filled with
many different things that you like you
may enjoy hanging with friends or
reading books or watching TV or playing
video games or maybe even painting an
art these things are a part of your
current world and now you are trying to
introduce English into that world so the
problem is not your interest the problem
is English so the second part is after
you’ve picked or chosen the topics you
are going to write three reasons for
each topic now this is important because
you are going to organize your thoughts
from the beginning and this is key for
fluency so look at a graphic look at
this graphic right here
what’s happening is inside of your brain
let’s say this is your brain right here
now again we already understood that you
have interests in your current world
right now so let’s say you like reading
now right the reason why you like
reading right three reasons what’s gonna
happen is you will be able to speak
fluently because you already have the
reasons organized in your head now again
remember this is day one so let me show
you an actual example with me so what I
have done is on day one I have chosen
five things that I am interested in and
these are real things so I’m interested
in health cooking sports art and travel
again in my world currently I like these
five things so this is my world right
here these five things now what I have
to do again is I need to go and give
three points or three reasons why I
enjoy these five things or why I am
interested in them so for example health
I like healthy food I want to enjoy life
and health affects the mind these are
the three reasons why I am interested in
health now let’s skip down to art okay
you all know that I’m an artist now
three reasons why do I like art as a
topic well I gave you one I’m an artist
it was my college major and I believe
art is a way to express yourself in a
beautiful way okay so again right here I
have shown you my notebook for day one
okay great
now day to day two now what you’re gonna
do for day two is find a blog or article
about each topic now again remember you
chose five topics which means you’re
going to be finding five blogs or five
articles okay now why is this important
you see this will help you see how other
name
native English speakers actually speak
about the topic you see what’s happening
is as an English Learner you have your
own ideas but what you need to do is
find out how native English speakers
actually speak about the topics you have
chosen okay so after you found the
article or blog post you are going to
pick out three interesting points about
the topic okay now this is important
because by finding interesting points
from the article it will enhance or
improve your ability to speak fluently
about it later now I want to emphasize a
point you see when you’re looking
through these articles you are only
skimming them you don’t have to read
each article in detail I know you may
say teacher you want us to look up five
different articles that’s a lot for one
day remember you’re only skimming the
articles okay skimming just means to
read over quickly okay read over very
quickly so you don’t have to read all
the details you’re just looking for key
points so I’ve shown you guys I picked
out three key points like this you just
highlight them now for my example can
remember I told you guys that my five
topics were health cooking sports art
and travel now I literally found actual
articles for each of these topics
because I want you guys to see that it
is possible to improve your fluency in
five days so if you want the actual
articles the link is in the description
below for each of the articles okay so
now let’s look at for example cooking
alright so for cooking the topic was or
the title of the article was ten things
I learned from culinary school that
every home cook should know now what I
did was I skimmed the article very
quickly and then I selected three
interesting points
and I only wrote down the points so for
example to me it was interesting that
you don’t have to be a professional chef
in order to cook like one at home since
I enjoy cooking that was very
interesting to me
number two basic tools are just as good
as expensive ones it’s very interesting
to me and finally use scraps or
leftovers to make other dishes okay so
these three points were very interesting
to me now the same is going to be done
for each of the articles okay so when
you find the article or a blog post
again just skim the article and find
three points that are interesting to you
and write them down okay I did it for my
five and you can do it for your five
again this is what you’re gonna do on
this day okay all right now we’re gonna
move on to the next day day number three
now on today number three what you’re
gonna do is pick three vocabulary words
you already know that describe the topic
yep you read that correctly you already
know so what does that mean that means
you don’t need to get a dictionary out
for this part you want to pick something
you already know okay now why is this
important you see this is important
because it will help you realize that
you already know topic-specific
vocabulary words it’s gonna give you
more confidence in what you already know
so here’s the deal again I mentioned to
you guys that your current world
involves things that you are interested
in so again if I have chosen art then
what words do I already know that
describe art okay now for the second
part what happens is we’re gonna find
three synonyms now again remember the
word synonym just means similar words
okay you’re following along you are very
intelligent I know you’re following
along so find three synonyms or similar
words for each
vocabulary word I’m gonna highlight that
for each vocabulary word for each topic
so this is important because it will
help you expand or improve your
vocabulary by making connections in your
brain you see this is what happens in
your brain you already have these three
words and now you’re giving your brain
three extra words that are connected to
each vocabulary word now what does this
look like in an actual example so again
we looked at mine in a previous day
right so again I have health cooking
sports art and travel so let’s pick out
the sports category okay the topic of
sports well the three words that I
already know are athlete sweat and
competition athlete sweat and
competition so what’s gonna happen is
I’m gonna go all the way over here and
I’m gonna find synonyms for each of
those words so when I picked athlete I
found in the dictionary now this part
you can go to the dictionary player
competitor and contender now these are
three words I didn’t know before so I
have three new vocabulary words that are
connected to the word I already know
this is why this is so important okay so
again I go to the next word sweat
well perspiration moisture and dampness
okay three more words that have a
similar meaning
and finally competition bout fight and
match so for the topic of sports now
instead of just knowing three words I
now know three plus nine you guessed it
and that means I know twelve words
related to the topic that I am studying
all right so you see how your vocabulary
can expand very quickly so now we have
12 12 12 and 12 right here so when
one day your vocabulary is gonna expand
very quickly and you’ve made connections
all right now for day four on day four
what you’re gonna do is you need to
think of personal experience I love this
step because it connects you to the
topic and makes it easier to speak about
it in English see this is important
because it will help you feel
comfortable when you speak about the
topic if it’s your personal experience
you will naturally speak more about it I
remember when I was learning Korean this
happened to me many times my personal
experience became easier to talk about
so this is what’s going on you have a
topic then you’ve learned the vocabulary
words plus the synonyms now these are in
your brain and now you’re trying to find
an experience in your life that connects
to the topic and also those vocabulary
words now after you have thought of that
experience what you’re gonna do is write
the five W’s for each of the experiences
you listed in part one okay alright now
why is this important this is important
because the more information you are
able to give the more fluent you will
sound so you see this is what’s going on
you have your experience that you’re
gonna talk about but now you’re already
organizing your thoughts about who was
there what happened when did it happen
where did it happen
and why did it happen and this will make
it ten times easier for you to speak
about it if someone asks you a question
about this topic later so again let’s
look at my example my five topics were
again health cooking sports art and
travel now my personal experience for
health is becoming a vegan for my health
okay a vegan is someone who doesn’t eat
meat or milk or cheese products okay
then for cooking I chose cooking Mexican
food for my Korean friends now
all of these experiences are real it’s
very important that they are real for
sports playing basketball and soccer in
college I was a very I was very active
when I was in college I loved sports
now for art being an artist my entire
life that’s true and for travel
traveling to London Paris and Madrid so
you see what’s happened is I have
personal experiences for each of these
topics which means immediately my brain
is starting to formulate an idea now
what I’ve done is I’ve given all of the
information connected with the five W’s
for each of these experiences okay so
that’s why it’s important this step is
important for you to list your details
okay so for example let’s say for sports
okay right here me that’s for who for
what I played basketball and soccer when
in college
where in Alabama why I enjoyed playing
sports if you notice a few moments ago I
actually gave you all that information
naturally why because I am fluent in
English and you can be - all right now
day five day five is where you are going
to create five possible questions for
each topic you selected that’s right now
you’re going to be creative you see now
this is important because it will help
you mentally prepare and not get nervous
when speaking so many times students get
nervous when someone asks them a
question they never heard but if you
prepare possible questions beforehand
not only will you be comfortable you
will be able to speak fluently because
you prepared yourself now what’s gonna
happen is after you have created these
questions you’re going to review the
previous four days and see how that
information connects now this is
important because it will help you learn
how to connect information with certain
topics and
prove your fluency so you see what I
have done I’ve laid out we have day one
day two day three and day four again
we’ve already looked at these four days
previously now we’ve created these five
questions on day five and I have
connected them with one of the previous
days
maybe the vocabulary or my personal
experience so let’s look at this in an
actual example okay so again we have my
five topics at the top and let’s say for
travel I’m gonna give you the questions
I made so I said do you like to travel
which is the very common question that
ESL learners are asked have you ever
traveled abroad number three if you
could go anywhere where would you go
number four which form of travel do you
prefer backpacking or a cruise and
number five why do you think travel has
become so popular over the last ten
years so again you can make five
questions for your topics now I will say
this if you have difficulties making
questions you can find them on line ok
just type the topic and look for
questions about the topic that is okay
but that’s how you become fluent in five
days I hope you enjoyed this lesson if
