THINK AND SPEAK IN ENGLISH How To Talk About Your Goals Fluently In English

hey in today’s lesson i am going to

teach you how to think and then speak in

english fluently that’s right in order

to speak english fluently you must

master the ability to organize your

thoughts like a native english speaker

using the five w’s now are you ready

well then i’m teacher tiffany let’s jump

right in now i mentioned earlier that

you must use the five w’s so let’s look

at this situation we’re talking about

goals and his goal is to speak english

fluently so what would the first w be

it would be who

michael an intermediate english learner

what

he studies english regularly

when

every afternoon prior to eating dinner

where

at the local bookstore

why

he wants to speak english fluently and

travel abroad

now what just happened we organized our

thoughts right about this young man’s

goal to speak english fluently using the

five w’s now we clearly understand what

his goal is and why he has this goal

so now we need to use what we organized

in our minds using the five w’s to speak

in english so here we go here’s the

response using the five w’s right here

read along with me

michael

is an intermediate english learner

he has made it a habit to study english

on a regular basis so

every afternoon prior to eating dinner

he goes to study english at the local

bookstore

whenever someone asks him

why he is studying so hard

michael says it is because he wants to

speak english fluently and travel abroad

now that is a fluent english response

this response is an advanced english

response and you can do the same thing

when someone asks you about your english

goal now there are a few expressions

that i want to go over in this response

so i want you to look very closely the

first one is

make it a habit to do something

make it a habit to do something now this

just means if you make a habit of doing

something

you do it regularly or often so it can

be in the past or right now i made it a

habit of doing

i make it a habit of doing dot dot dot

it just means you do it regularly or

often just like michael studies

regularly he makes it a habit to study

english

now the other one is prior to this is

also a very important one

every afternoon prior to eating dinner

prior to just means before a particular

time or event so i like to call my

parents prior to starting my day before

i start working hard i want to check in

on my parents

prior to before a particular time or

event in english we say prior to so now

we have a good understanding of what

michael’s goals are related to english

and we simply started with step one

thinking in english using the five w’s

about his goal

now what if we talked about another

situation another goal that many of us

have

a goal dealing with health

we again must use the five w’s to think

in english

who

michelle

a mother of two young children

what does she do she does a vigorous

workout with her coach

when

every morning at the crack of dawn

where

at the 24 hour gym in her neighborhood

why

she wants to get back in shape and lose

all of her baby fat so what’s happening

again this is step one

thinking in english in order to speak

english fluently you must start with the

five w’s we’ve organized our thoughts

about michelle’s goals and we’re very

clear

why she is so focused on getting in

shape

now let’s see if we use the five w’s

what would her response be here we go

read along with me

michelle is a mother of two young

children

every morning at the crack of dawn

michelle gets up and does a vigorous

workout with her coach

she usually exercises at the 24-hour gym

in her neighborhood

michelle works out so hard because she

wants to get back in shape and finally

lose all of her body excuse me baby fat

so what happened again speaking about

her health goal

using the five w’s first to think in

english organizing our ideas no matter

what the topic is when you do that first

you can give a fluent english response

now in this response there is a few

there are a few words and expressions

that i wanted to explain to you the

first one is vigorous

yeah i know this could be a little bit

tricky after me again

vigorous

excellent now this word vigorous just

means very forceful energetic or intense

we say vigorous a lot of times when you

go to the gym to exercise you’re running

on the treadmill maybe you’re lifting

weights or doing something you usually

sweat a lot right very intense workout

very vigorous

you got it now i want to pause really

quickly because sometimes you have

trouble with pronunciation like vigorous

is hard i want to encourage you again to

get the english with tiffany app because

i have some pronunciation lessons in the

app that will help you many of you

already have downloaded the app you can

download it for free there are certain

paid portions but you can download it

for free and start learning and

improving your pronunciation learning

new words sentences and so much more i

do believe that this app will help you

with your pronunciation so that when you

come up to words like this vigorous

again in the app i explained front teeth

bottom lip and vibrate

vigorous

excellent job very good now the other

word the other expression was back in

shape she wants to get

back in shape now when you say back in

shape it just means that the person

saying it

once was a healthy

in shape person nice body good shape

and wants to get back to being healthy

and in shape again think about a mother

that is pregnant nine months her body

changes shape because it has to fit and

accommodate a baby once the baby is

delivered there’s lots of excess weight

so this mother michelle wants to get rid

of that and get back in shape makes

sense right

now she mentioned something else she

mentioned that she wants to get rid of

her baby fat

yeah baby fat now baby fat is used to

refer to

mothers um when it’s used to refer to

mothers it means the excess fat

remaining after childbirth nine months

of having an extra human being in your

belly your skin has stretched there’s a

lot of excess fat we call that baby fat

when we are speaking about mothers so

again after me

baby fat

excellent all right so we were able to

speak english fluently about her

situation why because we first thought

in english using the five w’s to think

about

her health goal

now what if we talk about

money or career or a success goal

look at this individual right here he

looks like he’s successful his goal is

to be more successful who is he

samuel

an ambitious stockbroker

what

he studies every publication article and

website about the stock market

when

day in and day out

where

in new york

why

he wants to be the most acclaimed

stockbroker in new york history now what

just happened we organized our thoughts

using the 5ws to talk about his goal his

success goal right so our thoughts are

organized we understand this man samuel

he’s an ambitious stockbroker now how

about speaking english fluently using

this information here we go

again right here follow along with me

samuel is an ambitious new york

stockbroker his main goal is to one day

be the most acclaimed stock broker in

new york history so in order to reach

his goal

samuel studies every publication

article and website about the stock

market he does this day in and day out

every piece of information from the five

w’s is included in this response and

that’s why it’s an advanced english

response

now in this response there are a few

words and expressions that i want to

explain to you so check this one out

right here here we go the first one is

acclaimed right here

acclaimed

excellent last time

acclaimed

good job now this just means receiving

public praise and approval like

amazing

yes you are amazing receiving public

approval he wants to be the most

acclaimed stockbroker makes sense right

all right now what about this one right

here

day in and day out again after me day in

and day out

excellent now this just means

every day for a long time especially in

a way that is boring or unpleasant

we say day in or day out for example

let’s say you don’t like your job

but you have to get up every morning

go to work work for eight hours day in

and day out

every day you have to do this and it’s

boring right because you don’t enjoy

your job in english we say day in

and day out makes sense right all right

so you see again we have all five w’s

included in this response which makes it

an advanced english response the five

w’s we organized in step one thinking

about samuel an ambitious stock broker

this is again how you speak english

fluently

think and speak in english use the five

w’s

organize your thoughts and then speak

like a native english speaker i really

hope you enjoyed today’s lesson i hope

you master the 5ws so that you also can

sound like a native english speaker

don’t forget to download the english

with tiffany app the link is right in

the description i want you to keep

studying with me i want to continue

helping you be confident in your english

alright i will see you all next time

have an awesome week but as always

remember to speak english

you still there

ha ha

you know what time it is it’s

story time

hey i said it’s story time

all right

now for today’s story i want to tell you

about one of my closest friends now we

were talking about goals today right in

our lesson we talked about different

goals people have health goals success

goals and different goals people have

but i want to tell you

about a goal my friend and i had it’s

dealing with health we had a goal to run

five miles every day that’s right five

miles every day that may be 7k or 6k

depending on where you live

that’s a lot now at this time i was

living in south korea and my friend was

still in maryland we were very close and

again we were trying to get back in

shape and we decided to have this

friendly competition now at that time we

were using an app on our phones called

the nike running app right very popular

app and you could connect with your

friends no matter where they were and

they could see your progress and you

could see their progress so my friend

and i decided to do this challenge hey

let’s run five miles every day now i’m

competitive

and my friend is also competitive so

what ended up happening was

we knew we had to run five miles but

then we started to try run five to run

five miles faster than each other so

korea is ahead of america by about 13 or

14 hours depending on if it’s daylight

savings time or not so i was always

ahead of her in the time zone so i’d

wake up in the morning night time for

her the previous day and i would run and

let’s say the first time i ran five

miles in about

50 minutes right 10 minute mile

i’d log in to my app and i’d put in 50

minutes five-mile

right training so i’d go to work that

day and during the work day i’d be

working just excited feeling good about

myself and i’d come home in the evening

morning time for her

and i would see

her name is monica monica five miles 49

minutes and 48 seconds i said

okay you want to beat me by 12 seconds

right again very competitive both of us

so now i knew that okay she was working

and i was going to sleep so i wake up

the next morning her night early and i’d

go to the gym before work i said okay

she did 49 minutes and 48 seconds i’d

get on the treadmill and i’d run and i

run and i got 48 minutes and 30 seconds

excuse me 49 minutes and 30 seconds i

said

beat that now of course we couldn’t talk

at the time because she was sleeping and

i was on my way to work

so i went to work again feeling good 49

minutes and 30 seconds went to work all

day everything was great came home in

the evening perfect looked at my phone

monica mack five miles 48 minutes and 56

seconds i said you have got to be

kidding me and we continue to do this

back and forth back and forth now it was

friendly competition we’re super close

like sisters but what i remember about

that situation that time is

we were in the best shape of our lives

now excluding college because in college

you’re really slim you know but for our

adult lives we were in the best shape

because we were challenging each other

and it was fun and we had a goal to get

in shape so sometimes you can have a

friendly challenge and it ends up making

both of you better

she looked good i looked good and we

were happy and we continued doing that

for several months but we ended up

having to stop because schedules and

other things happen but we always talk

about how much fun we had competing

against each other to reach a goal maybe

you can find a friend and you can start

a challenge hey let’s learn three

english vocabulary words every day and

you guys can challenge each other

something to make your goal reaching

your goal a fun process all right guys i

hope you enjoyed today’s story remember

link is in the description i will see

you next time
