How to organize your thoughts and answer any question in English Part 2
fact English is one of the most widely
spoken languages in the world
approximately one new word is added to
the English language every two hours and
around 4,000 new words are added to the
English dictionary every year so in
truth even native English speakers don’t
know every single vocabulary word in the
English language well if this is the
case is it really possible for a
non-native speaker to master the English
language by simply memorizing new words
and expressions or is there a secret
that is more important than memorizing
the answer yes now would you like to
know the secret well I will teach you
part 2 of the first secret today welcome
to speak English with Tiffany I am
teacher Tiffany and today we are going
to learn part two of the first secret to
speaking English this secret will
improve your ability to speak clearly
and logically in English are you ready
well then let’s jump right in
in the last video we learned that one of
the foundations of speaking English is
being able to properly express your
thoughts and feelings logically we
learned that to do this we must properly
use the web and we also learned the
first three steps to using the web step
one was to determine the main idea step
two select three of the five W’s and
step three write supporting information
for each w using these steps we
logically and clearly answer the
question why are you studying English in
this lesson we will go into more detail
about step two in step two we used three
of the five W’s the main point of step
two is to have three designated
information categories the categories
for our first answer were based on the
three WS that we chose
but we can also choose different
categories that are not related to the
five W’s here’s how it works in step two
the focus is three different categories
to choose from category one five W’s
selection category two three top level
reasons and category three three details
so basically at step two we can make the
choice as to how we want to answer the
question or how we want to express our
opinion on a specific topic now let’s
look at this in an actual example using
the same question from the first lesson
example one the question again was why
are you studying English step one the
main idea well the main idea for work
step two we’re going to use category one
with the five W’s and we’ll choose when
where and why and step three when Monday
to Friday where language Institute and
why promotion so the spoken response
would be I am studying English for work
actually I want to get a promotion soon
so I study English Monday to Friday at a
Language Institute
now that was example one using category
one for step two now let’s go to the
next example example two the question
again is why are you studying English so
step one now our main idea is three
reasons for studying English this
becomes the main idea
step two this time we’re going to use
category two which is three top level
reasons so reason one reason 2 and
reason 3 now in step three for reason
one we will write my boss reason to
promotion
and reason three necessary for survival
so the spoken response for this example
would be currently I am studying English
for three reasons the first reason is
because my boss ordered all of his
employees to study English the second
reason is so that I can get a promotion
next year and the final reason is
because English is necessary for
survival same question but very
different answer and now for example 3
again same question why are you studying
English step one this time my main idea
is English is fun step 2 I’m going to
use category 3 which is made up of three
details detail one detail two and detail
three so in step three I add the details
detail one new interesting idioms detail
- body language and detail 3
communication I think English is really
quite fun when I study English I can
learn new interesting idioms that make
me laugh along with this I can also use
lots of body language when I speak in
English
and in my opinion it is very fun to
watch people of different cultures
communicate in English again same
question but the answer is completely
different
