and this one's the proper camera okay

close up we have a close-up camera now

camera and ask Alicia who are we hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia

the weekly series where you ask me questions and I answer them maybe first

question this week comes from ways highways ways says hello can you tell us

which sentence is correct did you used to play ball or did you use to play ball

thank you yeah nice question in speech you'll hear used to used to know D sound

used to this is because it's really difficult to pronounce that D sound next

to the T sound quickly in speech regarding text though there's some

debate so there are some people who believe used to is correct in text and

other people who think that use to with no D is fine I would say just follow the

rules of whatever text book you use whatever you choose just try to always

use the same one if you prefer used to try to use that in text if you prefer

used to you can use that just try to stick to the same one so I hope that

helps you thanks for the question all right next question next question comes

from Fernando Valencia hi Fernando Fernando says hi Alicia I would like you

to explain the difference between unbelievable and incredible also

especially and especially and when should I use them okay first let's start

with the word unbelievable and compare that to incredible so when we look at

unbelievable there are three parts to think about first there's unn which

means not or like the opposite of something next we have that root which

is believed so to believe something means to have faith in something like to

trust something finally we see the end part that suffix Abel Abel means like

something that we have the ability to so when we look at unbelievable it means

something that we are not capable of or we do not have the ability to trust or

to believe or to have faith in to find is true all right so we use unbelievable

for surprise or for shock and actually your intonation matters your intonation

is really important here because you communicate which you mean like surprise

or shock some examples this dessert is unbelievably good

someone stole my bicycle unbelievable so you can hear when someone wants to

communicate a positive meaning of unbelievable they use that upward

intonation like this dessert was unbelievably good when someone wants to

communicate that negative meaning they use the downward intonation someone

stole my bike unbelievable now let's look at incredible incredible we can

break down incredible in the same way as we broke down unbelievable so first

let's look at in and incredible the in just like the onion unbelievable means

not so it's like opposite against something then we have this root part

cred which relates to like credibility which means something is legitimate or

true or genuine finally we see the suffix double again the spelling is

different from unbelievable but it means like the ability to do something so here

incredible means something that we do not have the ability to believe is

genuine or true or legitimate so that means that incredible and unbelievable

have similar meanings but it's just that incredible is something that's like we

can't believe it's real unbelievable is like we're not able to trust it or we're

not able to believe in it also incredible tends to be used in more

positive situations than unbelievable today's lunch was incredibly good we saw

an incredible movie last night does anything incredible movie which movie

all the Incredibles yeah and the movie Incredibles of course okay let's go on

to your next question the next question you had is the difference between

especially and especially okay so let's start with

especially especially is used to mean in particular or above all other things

like above everything else I especially love the red dress he hates spicy food

especially peppers we can't wait to go on vacation

especially to our summer campsite so especially is used to refer to things

that have a specific purpose we often use it for things that are made or

designed or created or like set up so some kind of making or building is very

very commonly associated with this some examples I had this dress specially made

the computer was specially set up for classroom use our lessons are specially

designed for young students so though there are these two separate meanings

for these words you may hear especially used to refer to things that have a

specific purpose this is just a general guideline but I hope that that helps you

in choosing between these two words thank you for the question next question

next question comes from nerd on M Annette Hagan nerd on nerd on says hi

Alicia what is the difference between knowledge and information okay all right

think about information like data we use information like to share things between

people so information is sort of everywhere we can find information

everywhere knowledge however is something that we gain so by taking lots

and lots of pieces of information and putting that together and like studying

a topic or learning about something specific we gain knowledge so knowledge

is like lots and lots of specific information together that we can use to

like you know make things or form opinions or live our lives we lack

knowledge about this topic I don't have enough information so I hope that this

helps you thanks very much for the question the next question comes from

Ronnie Ahmed hi hi Ronnie Ronnie says do you

have any tips on how to improve vocabulary within a limited time also

please what is the meaning of hope this email finds you well and

not more the casual in relationship okay let's begin with your question about

improving vocabulary in a limited period of time I'll just share with you what I

did when I was studying and what helped me a lot was writing I would just write

like crazy the new vocabulary words like a few days before the test

I would like cram them in my head and just practice writing them over and over

and then I would cover up like the the words in English in my language and look

at them in the other language I was studying and try to recall from that

then once I saw that like in the language I was studying in Japanese I

would cover that up and try to write the English equivalent so I was always like

producing producing it wasn't only input I forced myself to actually produce so

that really helped me for tests yes but I should say that this is not something

that you can expect is going to help you remember words forever like you have to

continue studying those words so like in my case because I would focus so much on

the test and when like when the test was over I wouldn't go back and try to

practice those words again and then I would forget them until like the next

time we needed them so this may be this could be a good short-term vocabulary

study strategy but if you really want to remember the words you need to continue

that kind of study let's move on to your other two questions your first one was

the about the expression hope this email finds you well it's just a formal

greeting it's just saying I hope that when you read this message that you are

doing okay that's what this means your other question is about the expression

not more the casual actually I'm not sure this doesn't appear to be a common

phrase I wonder if this could be not more than casual in talking about

relationships so when we say that you don't want a relationship that's more

than casual it means that you don't want a romantic relationship or a serious

romantic relationship in other words you just want to be friends with the person

or you just want to have like a casual like

friendly relationship with someone nothing serious so maybe that's what

this means not more than casual I hope that that

helps you okay thanks for your questions our next question this week from door

Gregory hi door door says hi Alicia what does it mean it's time to turn new leaf

ah this is the expression it's time to turn over a new leaf or he turned over a

new leaf so we use this expression to mean someone changed their behavior so

they made an improvement on past behavior so if something was bad in the

past but they turned over a new leaf past tense turned over a new leaf it

means that they made an improvement to their past behavior they are now doing

something better than they did before my brother finally started taking care of

himself and cleaning his house he's turned over a new leaf

she began cooking at home instead of eating out at expensive restaurants she

turned over a new leaf so I hope that that helps you understand

the expression turn over a new leaf thanks for the question alright so

that's everything that I have for this week thank you as always for sending

这个是合适的相机 好的

特写 我们现在有一个特写相机

相机问艾丽西娅我们是谁 大家好 欢迎回来问

艾丽西娅每周系列你问我 问题我回答他们也许

本周的第一个问题来自 方式 高速公路 方式说你好 你能告诉我们

哪个句子是正确的 你曾经 打球还是你曾经打球

谢谢 是的 演讲中的好问题 你会听到 习惯 习惯 知道 D 音

习惯这是因为它是 尽管存在一些争论，但

在关于文本的语音中，很难在 T 音旁边快速发音 D 音，

所以有些人 认为 used to 在文本中是正确的，而

另一些人认为 use to 没有 D 很好 我会说 只需遵循

您使用的任何教科书的规则， 无论您选择什么，

如果您更喜欢习惯，请 尝试始终使用相同的教科书 如果您更喜欢

习惯，请尝试在文本中使用它，您可以使用它，尝试 坚持相同的 我希望

对你有帮助 回答这个问题 好吧 下一个问题 下一个问题

来自费尔南多·瓦伦西亚 你好费尔南多· 费尔南多说你好 艾丽西亚 我想让

你解释一下难以置信和难以置信之间的区别

，尤其是特别是我什么时候 应该使用它们，好吧首先让我们

从难以置信这个词开始 并将 其与难以置信相比，因此当我们看到

难以置信时，首先要考虑三个部分， 首先有 unn

表示不或与 某事相反，然后我们有根

，相信某事 意味着相信某事

最终相信某事，我们看到 后缀 Abel Abel 的结尾部分

意味着我们有能力 相信的东西，所以当我们看到令人难以置信的

东西时，它意味着 我们没有能力相信

或相信或无法相信或相信的事情 相信找到 是真的，所以我们用令人难以置信

的惊喜或震惊，实际上 你的语调很重要你的

语调真的很重要 在这里，因为你 传达了你的意思，比如惊喜

或震惊 一些例子 这个甜点

非常好 有人偷了我的自行车

想要

传达负面含义 他们 使用向下的语调 有人

偷了我的自行车 难以置信 现在让

我们看看难以置信 unbelievable 的意思

不是，所以它就像对立的 东西，然后我们有这个根部分

cred，它与类似的可信度相关 ，这意味着某物是合法的、

真实的或真实的，最后我们 再次看到后缀双倍，拼写

与 unbelievable 不同，但它 意味着能够 做一些事情，所以这里

令人难以置信的意思是我们没有能力做的事情 相信是

真实的或真实的或合法的，因此这 意味着难以置信和难以置信

具有相似的含义，但这只是 令人难以置信的是我们

无法相信它是真实的，难以置信的是 就像我们无法信任它或我们

无法 相信它也 令人难以置信的倾向于用于

比难以置信的更积极的情况 今天的午餐非常好我们

昨晚看了一部令人难以置信的电影做了 任何令人难以置信的电影哪部电影

都是超人特工队是的还有电影 超人特工队当然好吧让我们

继续你的 下一个问题 你的下一个问题

是特别好和特别好之间的区别，所以让我们 从

特别特别是用来表示 特别或高于所有其他事物的意思，

比如高于一切 我特别 喜欢红色连衣裙，他讨厌辛辣的食物，

尤其是辣椒， 我们可以 't wait to go on holiday

特别是到我们的夏令营， 所以特别是用来

指有特定目的的东西，我们经常 使用它 对于制作或

设计或创建或喜欢设置的东西，因此 某种制作或建筑

通常与此相关联一些 示例我有这件衣服是专门制作

的计算机是专门为课堂使用而设置的 我们的课程是

专门为 年轻的学生，所以虽然这些词 有这两个不同的

含义，但您可能会听到特别 用于指代具有

特定目的的事物，这只是一般 准则，但我希望这有助于您

在这两个词之间进行选择， 谢谢 问题 下一个问题

下一个问题来自 M 的 nerd Annette Hagan nerd on nerd on says hi

Alicia 知识和

信息之间的区别

我们可以在

任何地方找到信息但是知识 是我们通过获取

大量信息并将其 放入 t 在一起，喜欢研究

一个主题或学习 特定的东西 我们获得知识，所以

知识就像很多很多特定的 信息在一起，我们可以用来

像你知道的那样做事情或形成 意见或过我们的生活 我们缺乏

关于这个主题的知识 I 没有 足够的信息，所以我希望这

对您有帮助 非常感谢您提出的 问题 下一个问题来自

Ronnie Ahmed 嗨，您好 Ronnie Ronnie 说您

有关于如何 在有限的时间内提高词汇量的任何提示，还

请什么是 希望这封电子邮件的意思是希望这封 电子邮件能找到你，而

不是更多的随意的关系好吧 让我们从你关于

在有限的时间内提高词汇量的问题开始 我将与你分享

我在学习时所做的事情以及对 我有很大帮助的事情 正在写作 我会

在考试前几天疯狂地写新词汇

用我的语言用英语写的单词，用

我正在学习的另一种语言看它们， 并尝试从中回忆，

然后一旦我看到就像 我用日语学习的语言一样，我

会掩盖它并尝试写出对应的 英语 所以我一直喜欢

制作 制作它不仅是 我强迫自己实际制作的输入

，这确实对我进行测试很有帮助，是的，但 我应该说这

不是你可以期望的，它会帮助你 像你一样永远记住单词 必须

继续学习这些单词，就像 我的情况一样，因为我会非常专注

于测试，当测试 结束时，我不会回去尝试

再次练习这些单词，然后我 会忘记它们，直到喜欢

下次我们需要它们，所以这 可能是一个很好的短期词汇

学习策略，但是如果你真的想 记住你需要继续

这种学习的单词，让我们继续你的 另外两个问题，你的第一个问题

是 关于 e xpression 希望这封电子邮件 能顺利找到您，这只是一个正式的

问候，它只是在说我希望 当您阅读此消息时，您

做得很好，这意味着您的 另一个问题是关于表达

而不是更随意实际上我 不确定这个 似乎不是一个常见的

短语我想知道这 在谈论关系时是否只是随意的，

所以当我们说你 不想要一段过于随意的关系时，

这意味着你不想要 一段浪漫的关系 或者是一段严肃的

浪漫关系，换句话说，你 只是想和这个人成为朋友，

或者你只是想

和一个不严肃的人建立一种随意的友好关系， 所以也许这就是

这个意思， 不过是随意的，我希望这

对你有帮助 感谢您的 提问 我们本周的下一个问题来自 door

Gregory hi door door says hi Alicia 是 什么意思 it's time to turn the new leaf

啊这是表达 it's time to turn over a new leaf or he turn ove ra

new leaf 所以我们用这个表达方式来 表示某人改变了他们的行为，因此

他们对过去的行为进行了改进， 所以如果过去有什么不好的事情，

但是他们翻了一张新的叶子 过去时翻了一张新的叶子，这

意味着他们做了一个 改善 他们过去的行为 他们现在

做的事情比我 哥哥终于开始照顾

自己和打扫房子之前做得更好 他 翻开了新的一页

她开始在家做饭而不是 在昂贵的餐馆吃饭 她

翻过新的 叶子 所以我希望这能帮助你理解

这个表达 改过自新 谢谢你的问题 好吧

这就是我这周的一切 谢谢你一如既往地发送

你的问题 请记住你 可以用英语把你的问题发送给我
