SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY 1 Simple Rule That Will Help You Speak English More Fluently Today

hey in english there is a very simple

english rule that every native english

speaker learns in middle school high

school and even college this simple

english rule explains the power of the

number three

you see when i was in middle school in

high school and college my english

teachers always emphasized the

importance of providing enough support

for my thoughts ideas and opinions by

giving three details

three examples or three reasons and this

number three is what helps me

sound like a native english speaker and

speak english fluently and today i am

going to teach you this simple rule of

threes are you ready

well then i am teacher tiffany let’s

jump right in all right so the simple

rule of threes we’re going to start off

with part number one part one of this

rule is the three details part you see

the first part of this rule focuses on

the important details of the topic

subject or person you are discussing in

other words you want to help your

listener

visualize what you are talking about you

want to give them more information which

will help them understand and also help

them to realize wow

you are fluent in english so what about

a real life situation here we go

we’re in this coffee shop

we see people making coffee we see food

on the table how would we talk about

this situation

well the topic is

tell me about your favorite coffee shop

and in response i could say

my favorite coffee shop is starbucks

now here’s the truth

that is a good answer i told you what my

favorite coffee shop is but remember

we’re using the rule of threes the same

rule i learned in school

so if we’re using the rule of threes how

can we give more details let’s check it

out so we’re going back to the coffee

shop now if i give detail number one

it’s very spacious

that is a fact or a detail

detail number two

they sell a wide variety of food and

drinks once again a fact or a detail

and detail number three they play

ambient music

that is also a fact or a detail so you

see what’s happening as soon as i

mentioned a wide variety of food and

drinks i mentioned ambient music and i

said that it’s spacious suddenly in the

brain in the mind of the listener a

picture starts to be created

that is when again the listener starts

to feel like you’re speaking fluently

because they can connect

so having these details how would we

answer and give a fluent response here

we go

speaking english fluently using the

three details

my favorite coffee shop is starbucks

the one not too far from my house is

very spacious

there is enough seating in the starbucks

for about 30 to 45 people

it sells a wide variety of food and

drinks ah one other unique thing about

starbucks is that the managers always

have ambient music playing in the

background

now you know that response was a fluent

english response you were able to

understand everything i said and you

have a picture in your mind now i want

to explain a few words and expressions

very quickly we have spacious

wide variety and ambient so very quickly

i want to explain how to

use these words in real life so we’re

going to go to here’s what we’re going

to do that came out fast

the first one is spacious so after me

spacious

excellent one more time

spacious

very good now this word can be tricky i

want to remind you too if you haven’t

already downloaded the english with

tiffany app download it now because i

have a very good pronunciation course

within the app you can download it for

free right now and it will help you with

pronunciation some words just like

spacious are kind of tricky so what does

the word spacious mean this means having

or giving enough space or room

vast extensive in other words very large

or big so i said the coffee shop that’s

my favorite starbucks is very spacious

it’s large or big we say spacious in

english

now the next expression that came up

right here

wide variety wide variety so let me

explain what this expression means

it’s a group of things that are very

different from each other

diverse group of things so you saw in

the video let me go back and show you

from the video there were many different

types of food and drink being served at

the coffee shop you see some popcorn

some broccoli some bread many different

things are available at the coffee shop

so that is exactly why we used wide

variety all right okay so last time

again

wide variety

excellent all right now the last one i

want to explain was at the very end

ambient

good

ambient

excellent now ambient this word just

means creating

a relaxing atmosphere think about it

when you walk into a coffee shop or a

store and they have music playing in the

background and all of a sudden

you just feel relaxed

we say they are playing ambient music

makes sense right okay so again now

using the three details which is part

number one

of this three simple rule we have all of

the information we understand now how to

give our response and sound like a

native english speaker this is part one

of the rule of threes

now i want us to take a look at part

number two part number two involves

three

examples the second part of this rule

focuses on examples of the topic subject

or person you are discussing in other

words you want to help your listener

understand more by giving them real life

example situations now this part of the

rule of threes is very useful because

the person will immediately connect with

a real life situation or experience so

let’s say for example we’re looking at

this situation

we see a man and it looks like he’s

trying to lift weights and there’s a

trainer near him so if the topic was how

are you liking your personal trainer i

could give a simple response

i’ll be honest with you my personal

trainer makes me go hard every workout

but i really like him

so again i’ve answered the question but

we now need to use the rule of threes

part two giving three

examples remember that number three so

let’s give examples now i said that i

like him but he makes ah me go hard

every workout the guy said that

example number one

on the first day of training he made me

do a 45 minute circuit workout that

included running squats weight lifting

and push-ups

now immediately

you can imagine that situation like whoa

that’s a lot to do in one workout giving

you a real life example real life

situation now what about example two

ah

when i’m sore he tells me to push

through the pain and then makes me go

harder another real life example and

finally example number three

if i complain he doubles my workout

regimen for the rest of the week so now

we’ve organized our thoughts and we have

three examples again the rule of threes

part two is three examples so how would

we speak fluently using these examples

in our response let’s take a look here

we go if i gave a response for this

situation

i’ll be honest with you

my personal trainer makes me go hard

every workout but i really like him on

the first day of training he made me do

a 45 minute circuit workout that

included running squats weight lifting

and push-ups

after that workout my entire body was

screaming but instead of letting me rest

when i’m sore he tells me to push

through the pain and then makes me go

harder

if i complain he doubles my workout

regimen for the rest of the week

now what did you notice

yes i gave a fluent english response but

because i showed you

how i organized my thoughts how i was

able to come up with this long answer it

makes more sense

using the rule of threes i gave three

simple examples to prove

how i feel about my personal trainer or

how this man feels about his personal

trainer makes sense right

three simple examples now let me explain

some of the words that popped up and

some of the expressions the first

expression was go

hard let me explain what this means go

hard now go hard just means to work hard

or to do something with intensity you’re

not sitting there if you’re jumping rope

just relaxing no you’re jumping rope

really fast

you are going hard it means to put great

effort into something usually physical

exercise in english we say go

hard now the next one in this response

was

circuit workout what does that mean

circuit workout now a circuit workout or

circuit training is a combination of six

or more exercises performed with short

rest periods between them or either

excuse me for either a set number of

repetitions or a prescribed amount of

time so let me explain

i have used this when i’ve worked out at

the gym i would go to the gym i’d have

my jump rope i would do push-ups sit-ups

then i would run in place and then i’d

add two other exercises and i would do

this in rotation in between jumping rope

and doing push-ups i would rest for 30

seconds

this was my circuit workout or my

circuit training maybe you enjoy doing

circuit workouts when you go to the gym

alright so again after me

circuit workout

excellent very good very good all right

now the next one that popped up was

right here

body was screaming

how does your body scream let me explain

let me explain

so your body was screaming this means

that your body is in a lot of pain and

extremely sore think about it after you

work out at the gym

maybe you’re

working out on the treadmill and you’re

running hard and then you have to go and

lift some weights and your body will

start being in excruciating pain we can

say

my body was screaming

makes sense right again a natural

expression you can use today to sound

more natural all right more like a

native english speaker now i have three

more i want to explain to you these

three again came from the last portion

push through the pain

doubles and regimen so let me explain

these three to you very quickly push

through the pain this just means to keep

going even though something hurts even

though your body is screaming you don’t

stop you keep going we say push through

the pain push through it don’t stop all

right here’s the next one double now

this just means to become twice as much

or as many or to make something twice as

much or as many remember in this

response right here

he said

if i complain

he doubles my workout regimen which

means he makes him do

twice as much in english we say double

now what about this regimen what does

regimen mean regimen is any set of rules

about food and exercise that someone

follows especially in order to improve

their health it’s basically a plan or a

schedule you follow for example

i enjoy food as you all know last week i

taught you foodie i am a foodie but i

also want to stay healthy so i eat

breakfast at a certain time of the day i

eat lunch at a certain time of the day

and i eat dinner try to eat dinner

before 6 p.m every day this is my

i say my food regimen what time i eat

and also what i eat i try not to eat

lots of sweets i try to eat healthier

foods so again my health regimen or the

food that i eat we say regimen in

english all right okay so again we see

our response speaking english fluently

using three examples explaining how his

trainer treats him and how his exercise

regimen

is pretty difficult but what about the

third part of this

very

useful rule the rule of threes

here’s the third part

three

reasons

now the third part of this rule focuses

on giving specific reasons for your

ideas on the topic subject or person you

are discussing in other words you want

to help your listener

understand your thought process and how

you developed your idea this is a very

important part of this rule

you know i’ve had thousands upon

thousands of students during my time as

a teacher and many of them knew what

their idea was they had an opinion but

when i asked them why

um

i don’t know why teacher

they had a hard time giving me the

reasons to support their thoughts or

ideas but remember what i said earlier

this is a rule that teachers in middle

school high school and college emphasize

for native english speakers so you must

use this rule so for that student for

those students i also try to emphasize

the importance of giving three reasons

here we go let’s look at a real

situation

we see a mother

hugging her daughter so the topic would

be

do you think it is important for parents

to hug their children often

well my response is simple oh yes in my

opinion parents should hug their

children multiple times

a day now that literally is my opinion

but i can’t stop there i need to give

reasons part three of the rule of threes

to support my answer so here we go

reason number one a scientific study

proved that holding children actually

increases brain development

reason number two hugging creates a

strong bond between parents and their

children and finally reason number three

hugging also helps children know that

they are loved which leads to more

self-confidence so again my opinion has

not changed but now i have given three

reasons to support my opinion to help

you understand how i developed or came

to my idea or opinion

so what would this look like in a fluent

english response here we go yes

in my opinion parents should hug their

children multiple times a day

recently i read a scientific study that

proved that holding children actually

increases brain development

on top of that

hugging creates a strong bond between

parents and their children finally

hugging also helps children know that

they are loved which leads to more

self-confidence

so all i did i used my three reasons

again the same three reasons i showed

you underneath my response and these

reasons following the rule of threes

eventually turned into a fluent english

response

now you’ll see there are three

expressions and vocabulary words and i

want to explain them to you very quickly

the first one is prove now prove just

means to demonstrate or to be the

specified thing by evidence or argument

to show that something is true so in

other words when you say i’m proving

something it just means you’re showing

the truth of something

you’re giving a support that will prove

something is real that will show

something is real we say prove in

english

and the other word the other expression

was on top of that look right here i

said on top of that hugging creates a

strong bond well when you use on top of

that you’re just saying additionally

furthermore in addition to something so

i want to add another idea another

reason another point to support my idea

we say on top of that

and finally we have this one right here

strong bond again creates a strong bond

between parents and their children well

a strong bond a bond between people is a

strong feeling of friendship

love or shared beliefs and experiences

that unite them so we say bond or strong

bond in english think about people you

are connected with people that you love

and want to be around you have a strong

bond with those individuals so again we

were able to give a very fluent english

response to this topic should parents

hug their children using part three of

the simple rule of threes giving the

reasons so once again i hope you

remember just like my teachers taught me

all throughout my school’s time my

school time provide enough support for

your thoughts ideas and opinions by

giving three details three examples or

three reasons i really hope you enjoyed

this week’s lesson i hope you apply the

rule of threes and remember you can

speak english fluently all you have to

do is learn the rules and learn how to

think in english like a native english

speaker i will see you next week but as

always remember to speak english

you still there

you know what time it is it’s

story time

eight i said it’s story time

all right

so today i taught you the rule of threes

and toward the end i showed you an

example of a mother hugging her child

so i want to tell you a story about my

niece now many of you have heard me talk

about my nieces and how much i love them

i love being an auntie but my youngest

niece so my mom she actually babysat my

youngest niece for about two years from

the time she was two years old all the

way up until she was four years old so

she was at my house every day every day

of the week

and there’s something she did on a

regular basis as soon as she arrived at

our house again i would be working in my

office she would ask my mom

she called my mom gaming grandma but

gami gamie can i go see titi my mom

would say yes and she’d run up the

stairs knock on my door and i’d say come

in and she would run to me and give me

the biggest hug and kiss now this

happened every single day from the time

she was two years old all the way up

until she’s four years old now she’s in

school she’s in kindergarten pre-k right

now she’s five

and it created this strong bond between

my youngest niece and i again i’m close

to all of my nieces but my youngest

niece because every morning in her brain

she was going to get a huge hug a big

hug from her auntie she looked forward

to it

now fast forward to a few weeks ago now

she’s five years old she doesn’t come

here every day and she had come over to

visit with her sister and my sister with

her mom which is my sister and then my

brother-in-law the whole family came

over and with her older sister so my

brother-in-law my sister and the two

kids were here

and she had come up to my room

gave me a hug gave me a kiss and she was

talking to me

and so i said hey munchkin i call her

munchkin do you want to go on a walk

with tt i needed to go take a walk to

take a break from work and she

immediately said yes i said okay let’s

go and she usually says yes whenever i

ask her to go on a walk with me

as we were walking down the stairs to go

outside on the walk she said titi i said

yes munchkin i wonder why i always say

yes whenever you ask me to go on a walk

i immediately say yes i said yeah you do

and i was just fascinated by this

five-year-old thinking logically about

the situation

but then she said something she said you

know tt

i guess it’s because i love you so much

and when i say my heart burst i said

munchkin i love you too and i gave her a

big hug and a kiss

that moment will forever be imprinted in

my mind and on my heart

this five-year-old again for two years

straight every weekday morning would

come upstairs i’d give her the biggest

hug and the biggest kiss and there was a

strong bond created so much so that at

the age of five she said tt

i just love you so much so my nieces

bring so much joy to me but i wanted to

let you guys know that story because

there’s a strong bond that was created

because of hugs that were given and

kisses that were also given so if you

have someone in your life your nieces

maybe nephews or your own children even

your spouse

give someone a hug today and let them

know how much you love them alright guys
