SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY Use This Simple Rule To Speak Fluently In English Episode 3

hey welcome to today’s english lesson

now in this lesson you will learn how to

speak english fluently using the simple

rule of threes i guarantee this lesson

is going to change your life are you

ready

well then i’m teacher tiffany let’s jump

right in now as a reminder the rule of

threes it was given to me by my teachers

and it just says provide enough support

for your thoughts your ideas and

opinions by giving three details

three examples or three reasons hence we

say the rule of threes so let’s start

with the first one

three details now the first part of the

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 so let’s say

for example we were talking about food

this guy right here is enjoying his

sandwich

and we can say hey

tell me about your favorite thing to eat

now his response would probably be i

love to eat hamburgers i want to pause

this is a good answer

he understood the question and he

answered it very clearly but remember

we are talking about speaking english

fluently like a native english speaker

which means you must support your answer

so let’s see what three details can be

given about the hamburger here we go

detail number one

crispy

lettuce

detail number two a massive burger patty

and detail number three caramelized

onions

so you see what’s happening right

we have the main response and now we’re

getting three details so how can we turn

the details into a very fluent english

response here we go

i love to eat hamburgers

my hamburgers always include a massive

burger patty i usually have to hold my

hamburgers with two hands because they

are so big

on top of the burger patty i put crispy

lettuce

it makes a loud sound when i bite into

it this sandwich sounds good

finally i add caramelized onions the

sweetness really makes the sandwich

taste good

all of these ingredients put together

usually make me want to eat like a horse

now there are some new expressions and

words that i will explain to you but i

want you to notice this fluent english

response came from three details again

use the three details to make a fluent

english response

so let’s take a real quick look at these

new words and expressions the first one

is massive we said massive burger patty

what does the word massive mean right

here

it means forming or consisting of a

large mass

something extremely big

so when he was eating that sandwich it

did look big right a massive burger

meaning something that is very big or

large

massive after me

massive

excellent one more time

massive

great job now the other word i want us

to look at is

crispy

now in the response we said crispy

lettuce right now again after me for

pronunciation practice

crispy

excellent now crispy just means firm but

easily broken or crumbled

once again

firm but easily broken or crumbled think

about lettuce lettuce that when you cut

through it or when you break it you hear

a sound a crispy piece of lettuce so

again after me

crispy

great job excellent now the other one i

want to explain to you is right here

caramelized

hey you got it one more time after me

caramelized

excellent now caramelized with reference

to food containing natural sugar

cook or be cooked it means to cook or be

cooked so as to develop the

characteristic brown color and nutty

flavor of caramel let me make it a

little easier for you to understand

now you know that i love to cook i love

good food

so when i’m cooking sometimes i need

onions so i’ll slice the onions or i’ll

chop them up and then i’ll saute some oh

i’ll put some oil in the pan and heat it

up and then i’ll saute the onions

what happens when you heat onions up in

oil

yes they start to get a little bit clear

right and they start to get sweeter

that process is caramelization so

caramelized onions they’re a lot sweeter

than raw onions makes sense right all

right good now the last one i want to

explain to you is right here this idiom

eat like a horse

say it after me

eat like a horse

excellent now this just means when

someone eats like a horse they always

eat a lot of food again they always eat

a lot of food again look at this young

man

he is enjoying his meal and he is eating

that burger and he is enjoying it so

again eat like a horse it just means to

eat a lot of food so after me eat like a

horse

excellent very good so we see using

three details we were able to give a

very good response now what about the

next part of this simple rule of threes

you see the next one is three examples

again this focuses on giving examples of

the topic subject or person you are

discussing in other words you want to

help the listener understand more by

giving them

real life example situations so remember

we’re talking about food

so what about this right here

we see this woman in the kitchen looks

like she’s about to bake something the

topic is favorite thing to cook

what is your favorite thing to cook well

the response could be i like to cook

desserts once again

that’s a good response the person

answered the question oh i like to cook

desserts done

but that’s a beginner level response we

want an advanced english response we

want a fluent english response using

three examples so let’s see what happens

here we go example number one i bake

cookies every other friday for my

children

a real life example

second every holiday i make homemade ice

cream for my family

and third example once in a blue moon i

make apple pie for my co-workers

so immediately as i was reading the

example situations a picture probably

started to form in your head making

something for kids making something for

coworkers these are situations example

situations so how can we turn these

example situations into a fluent english

response

let me show you how here we go

all of my friends know that i like to

cook desserts

i bake cookies every other friday for my

children

every holiday i make homemade ice cream

for my family also once in a blue moon i

make apple pie for my co-workers so what

happened

the answer was i like cooking desserts

and then the support came in the form of

three examples oh yeah i cook for my

kids i make homemade ice cream for my

family and i also make apple pie for my

co-workers

so you as the listener know

this individual really does like making

desserts that’s why giving three

examples is so powerful it’s not just

about the number of words you use when

you’re trying to speak english fluently

it really is about how you’re organizing

your thoughts and how you’re able to

respond using the supporting information

so this simple rule of threes is going

to help you so much now within the

response there’s some extra words that i

want to explain to you so here we go

this pattern right here

every other

every other now this just means

each second in a series

or each alternate for example if i say

every other day it means monday

not tuesday wednesday not thursday and

friday every other day in english we say

every other so the alternate or the

second in a series so again after me

every other

excellent i want you in the comment

section let us know what do you do every

other day maybe there’s something you do

unique maybe you exercise every other

day monday not tuesday wednesday not

thursday and friday every other day all

right now let’s go check out the next

one homemade

we talked about her making or him making

homemade ice cream right some of our

guys like to cook too my dad loves to

cook homemade ice cream now homemade

after me repeat homemade

excellent now homemade just means made

at home rather than in a store or

factory we say home made at home

homemade pretty simple right

homemade

excellent very good now the last one i

want to show you from this response is

once in a blue moon

after me

once in a blue moon

excellent now once in a blue moon just

means to do it very rarely not often

sometimes but not regularly in english

we say once in a blue moon now in our

response she said

make apple pie for her co-workers

once in a blue moon she makes it once in

a blue moon

not often rarely but she does do it

makes sense right all right excellent so

again we have three details three

examples now let’s move on to the next

number three

here we go here’s the quick explanation

three reasons

this part 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 remember

english fluency is all about the way you

think and producing your thoughts in a

clear way

not about the number of words you use

it’s about how you put your words

together so let’s check this situation

out right here

yes

he’s eating a cookie and it looks

absolutely delicious so we have him

eating a cookie the topic is snacking do

you snack throughout the day the

response yes i snack throughout the day

again remember i told you

giving a simple response a simple answer

that’s fine you understood the question

and you gave your response however

that’s a beginner level response a basic

english response and you want to give an

advanced english response a fluent

english response

so let’s support the response with three

reasons first

i am usually too swamped at work to eat

a good lunch second my office keeps the

staff kitchen well stocked with free

snacks and finally

it’s convenient for me to grab a quick

snack when i am busy so we have three

clear reasons why this individual likes

to snack every day

so how can we turn the reasons into a

fluent english response here we go

here’s the response

yes i snack throughout the day

the first reason is that i am usually

too swamped at work to eat a good lunch

the second reason is that my office

keeps the staff kitchen well stocked

with free snacks

finally it’s convenient for me to grab a

quick snack when i am busy

very fluent english response

gave supporting reasons for the answer

that was given again this is an amazing

response

but i want us to take a real quick look

at some of the words that came up

swamped

good job again after me

swamped

excellent now this word swamped just

means

overwhelm with an excessive amount of

something

or to be inundated it means there’s a

lot going on and you feel the overwhelm

you feel very overwhelmed like

okay i really have too much work right

now i i feel like i can’t handle

everything i am swamped

makes sense right so when you’re swamped

at work you don’t have time to eat a

good meal so this individual just

snacks

makes sense huh

all right now what about this one right

here

well

stocked

after me

well

stocked

excellent now this just means having or

containing sufficient goods

where’s food etc having enough you have

enough you have all that you need we say

well stocked and it’s usually about a

product right so the snacks

in his office right they have a closet

maybe where they have all the snacks and

every time he opens the door

yes

full of snacks

well stocked you got it right

okay now the last one i want us to look

at is right here

convenient

he said it’s convenient to grab a snack

when he’s busy so after me convenient

excellent again convenient

great job now convenient just means

involving little trouble or effort

once again involving little trouble or

effort

it means hey

it’s not a big deal it’s actually easy

for me to do this thing it’s convenient

again after me convenient

excellent so again using these three

reasons we were able to give a very

clear english response i really hope you

enjoyed the lesson today i hope that you

will continue using this simple rule of

threes to start speaking english

fluently like a native english speaker

i’ll talk to you next time but as always

remember to speak english

you still there ha ha ain’t nothing

changed you know what time it is here we

go it’s story time

hey i said it’s story time

all right it’s a brand new year but i

love telling stories so i want to tell

you a very quick story and it involves

my mother and it also includes

food

so

you all know how passionate i am about

helping you speak english fluently and

with confidence right

so i work hard every day except for

sabbath or saturday i go to church on

saturday so i work usually monday to

friday and sometimes on sundays now last

year this is when i was staying with my

parents they were helping me uh as i was

trying to build my business

i had to work a lot so i worked again

every day except saturday i worked about

maybe 12 hours a day

because i wanted to make sure i provided

you with the best english lessons

now as we mentioned earlier when we

talked about being swamped remember that

word right

when you’re swamped at work you can’t

really eat the healthiest food

so what happened was it was a sunday i’d

gotten up early i’m an early bird and i

was working hard on an english lesson

for you all

and

i noticed that my stomach started to

make some noises

oh

i’m a little hungry so i went downstairs

and my mom happened to be in the kitchen

she said hey tiff how are you i said i’m

good you know just working um i got a

little bit hungry and she said oh man

your dad and i were just talking about

how good fried potatoes are on sunday

mornings

i said yeah

they’re really delicious

i wish we had them today and then i

laughed because i knew my mom was busy

doing things my dad was busy doing

things we were all busy so i didn’t

expect her to make the fried potatoes

because she had things going on too but

i just let her know i really do love

fried potatoes so i got something to

snack on and then i went back upstairs

to my office to continue working

now about 10 or 15 minutes later my nose

started to get this whiff this amazing

aroma started to come and fill the house

and i said i know that wait a minute it

smelled like caramelized onions hey you

got that too i could smell the aroma of

garlic and onion powder and a little

salt and pepper and i said wait a minute

what am i smelling

so i tried to work for a few more

minutes but the smell just became

overwhelming

you got that too right

it smelled so good so i opened my door

and i walked down the steps and when i

got to the kitchen i saw my mom

making fried potatoes for me she turned

around and she said hey tiff and she

gave me that smile and i walked up to

and i gave her a big hug i said mommy i

really appreciate you thank you so much

because she didn’t have to make the

fried potatoes she was all so busy and i

hadn’t even asked her but that’s what a

mother’s love will do

she knew that her daughter really did

and i still do love fried potatoes and

she wanted to do something that seemed

so simple but meant so much because even

to this day i remember it so maybe you

do things like that for your children or

for your family members or for your

spouse

just to let them know that you love them

it’s the little things in life that mean

the most so for me it was fried potatoes

what was it for you i hope you enjoyed

this story guys i look forward to

talking to you in the next english

lesson
