your coupon let’s jump right in a + D +
Q now the letter e is the first step in
this equation and it stands for
experience okay experience now what this
means is when you are speaking to
someone during your conversation you
first want to respond or speak to them
by giving an example of your own
personal experience now the second part
of this equation is the letter D and
this refers to details now for example
when you are having a conversation after
you have given your personal experience
you want to give two to five details or
you can also give two to five reasons
that are connected with what you are
speaking about and finally the letter Q
the third step you want to ask a
question now your question needs to be
directly related to what you are
speaking about with the person during
your conversation so let’s see an
actual example let’s say for example you
are in a group and you are discussing or
they are discussing their hobbies okay
so again the first thing you want to do
is using the letter e you want to talk
about your experience so let’s say for
example they’re speaking about hobbies
and you want to talk about biking which
is your hobby now the key to remember is
that you need to always focus on giving
your response for the five W’s the who
what when where and why so we said to
start off we said I also enjoy biking
well that covers the what when I lived
in Korea my friends and I would go
biking on Sunday mornings well that
answers the wind and also the who now we
can also find the where because we see
Korea right there now we continue we
usually rode along the Han River which
is pretty popular in Korea what we see
that it was popular which is the reason
why you rode with your friends so again
the first part has been taken care of we
have explained our experience and also
given an answer for each of the five W’s
now as we continue again we’re staying
with our hobbies but we need to look at
the details related to our hobbies so
the hobbies were biking now this is what
we have done you see me say I think
biking is a great hobby but now I’m
gonna start giving some reasons or
details remember two to five reasons or
details
so here we go because it is good for
your health you can get fresh air and
you can spend time with others that is
why it is such a popular hobby again I
have given one two and three reasons
that fall in line with part two of our
equation now staying with the hobbies as
the topic we have to move on to the
third part which is the cue or the
question so how can we do this you see
what you want to do is you want to ask a
question that is related to what you are
already talking about you spoke about
biking you spoke about your personal
experience and you also gave three
reasons why biking is popular so now
you’re gonna ask a question we can say
have you ever been biking overseas or we
can say have you ever went on a biking
trip or you can say when did you like to
go or when do you like to go biking so
what happens we have a biking as a part
of our question because this is what we
have been talking about now why is this
step so important you see one part about
being fluent in English and sounding
like a native speaker is being able to
go back and forth in a conversation so
when you are speaking with someone if
you are able to give your opinion and
then also ask them their opinion the
conversation begins to go back and forth
and makes you sound more like a native
speaker but let’s look at this a little
bit closer here’s another example here’s
the question what type of work do you
want to do in the future now again
remember we’re going to use the same
equation e plus D plus Q so for e we
have your experience so we’re talking
again
what type of work we want to do in the
future okay all right so again we need
the five W’s right here though who what
when where and why so let’s see if we’re
able to answer all of these when we’re
speaking about our personal experience
here we go I have always wanted to be a
web designer I remember the first time I
learned about Web Design when I was in
high school so let’s pause really
quickly we see that the who is of course
we are talking about ourselves now we’re
going to go to what well we’ve always
wanted to be a web designer okay now we
need to find out when well the
experience let’s change this color to
make it easier for you all to see well
the experience we’re talking about for
when happened when we were in high
school okay now we’re gonna continue
here we go one day while walking in the
hallway a friend of mine told me about
how interesting the work was now where
did this happen
so let’s use this black color right here
this happened when I was walking in the
hallway so where is taking the care of
and finally let’s look at the next one
let’s use what means blue again here we
go
his explanation really inspired me well
that takes care of why his explanation
really inspired me so again we have
given our personal experience connected
to the question and covered letter e so
now if we’re going to move on to the
next part of the equation which is
letter D okay specific details remember
once again our purpose is to give either
two to five details or reasons okay
details or reasons here we go details or
read
all right now let’s look at how we
answered this part of the question here
we go
after doing lots of research I learned
that web design is a perfect combination
of the left and right brain all right so
that’s our first piece of information or
first detail let’s keep going
it requires mathematical and logic
skills while also requiring creative
skills all right so we have part number
two let’s continue plus since the
internet is not going anywhere
web design will also not be going
anywhere so again we have our third
detail which covers letter D or part two
of our equation now the final part of
our equation deals with asking a
question connected to the topic so we
are talking about what kind of work we
want to do in the future but we have
specifically said web design so let’s
see some example questions we can ask we
could say have you ever thought about
web design or we could say what type of
work would you like to do or we can say
what about you which is a simple way of
just connecting what you were talking
about by asking them for their opinion
so these are three different ways that
we can ask questions and using this
equation we sound very natural and you
can sound a natural now let’s see if it
really works in all situations here’s
another example if you could eat any
type of food for a week what would it be
so we’re talking about food now again
we’re going to our equation e plus D
plus Q and the first part is your
experience so once again we need to make
sure that we include the who what when
where and why as the part of our answer
so here we go personally I would eat
Indian food well that covers the
what and it also covers the who because
we’re talking about ourselves right
there now I continue with giving my
experience I remember the first time I
had Indian food years ago so when was it
well I said it was years ago that’s the
first time I had Indian food let’s keep
going
there was a big event at my school again
that covers where at my school and our
Indian friends cooked lots of
traditional food for us their food was
super delicious
now that answers why so again I have
given more details about my personal
experience connected to the topic or the
question and I answered it by giving an
answer or connecting it to the five W’s
okay so the second part of the equation
is the D alright details or reasons okay
so again details or reasons and again
remember you want to give two to five in
order to sound more natural or like a
native speaker so here’s what I said I
think Indian food is popular because of
the unique combination of spices used to
make it alright so that is one detail
that I have given okay one reason let’s
continue even when the dishes look
simple they usually include tons of
herbs and spices
alright this is number two the second
detail and reason and finally these
spices really enhance the flavors now
the word enhance just means to improve
or make better okay to improve or make
better that’s what the word enhance
means okay so that is our I put on this
side third detail or reason so for this
equation we
I’ve done it correctly for the letter D
now as we continue with a third part of
the equation the letter Q they’ll follow
up questions remember they’re going to
be connected to the topic which is food
that you can eat for a week and I also
mentioned that I like Indian food so we
want to figure out how we can connect
these with our question when we’re
speaking to the other person here we go
do you like Indian food again you see we
have Indian food right here or you can
say what type of food will you choose
and we have food right here or finally
you could say do you have a favorite
type of food so again remember the whole
goal or the whole purpose of this third
part of the equation is to connect with
the person we are speaking with okay
connect with the other person and this
helps the conversation continue to go
back and forth and makes you sound more
like a native speaker
now the next one again we’re just trying
to see if we can apply this equation to
every situation here we go this one says
what country have you always wanted to
visit all right so let’s see if we can
apply the equation to this one as well
again the equation is e plus D plus Q
and the first part is giving our
experience now remember we must always
give our experience and answer the five
W’s who what when where and why so let’s
start here we go I have always wanted to
visit Nigeria well that answers the hoop
which is I and it also answers the what
have always wanted to visit Nigeria
let’s continue the first time I saw a
picture of Nigeria I was blown away by
the beautiful scenery okay so when when
I first saw a picture now I do want to
explain something to you guys very
quickly you’ll notice right here
blown away okay this expression this
just means to
shocked or amazed by something okay
blown away alright let’s keep going
after looking at the picture for several
minutes I immediately put a trip to
Nigeria on my bucket list alright so we
actually have already answered why up
here because the picture blew us away or
shocked us now where but this one we can
just leave it with Nigeria because we
are talking about Nigeria all right okay
so you’ll see we have the first part
taken care of now the next part is the D
okay remember details or giving reasons
okay details or reasons and once again
we want to give two to five all right so
here we go let’s get started
we have Nigeria is a country full of
wonderful people amazing food and
beautiful landscapes now this right here
is already given three different details
about Nigeria but let’s keep going there
are many Nigerians currently living in
America so many Americans are being
exposed to various unique aspects of the
Nigerian culture well we’ve given
another fact we said that Nigerians many
of them live in America currently okay
so many Americans are being exposed
exposed just means to be able to
experience okay experience first-hand ok
experience or being shown ok being shown
something they’re being shown the
culture ok so again letter D is taken
care of now for letter Q remember our
goal is to have follow-up questions that
connect with the topic here we go let’s
look at these three right here what
country would you like to visit next
have you ever been to Nigeria and
finally have you done any
traveling recently so each question
connects to the topic either the country
which is right here or Nigeria which we
talked about or traveling because we’re
talking about visiting a specific
country so that means that this equation
e plus D plus Q actually worked and if
you use it you will sound more like a
native English speaker once again I want
