Real English Conversations Episode 24

[Music]

welcome to speak English with Tiffany I

am teacher Tiffany let’s jump right in

and nothing just working on some stuff

here for work / business what are you up

to what you up to what you up to

now this expression means what are you

doing and it is also an informal

greeting usually used between friends

and family okay now here are some

examples of what you up do that have the

same meaning hey what you up to

right now I’m hungry it means what are

you doing right now I’m hungry I want to

go out to eat with you the second

example hey what are you up to today it

means what are you doing today and the

third example since you are off from

work what are you up to today

again you’re not working today so I’m

curious what are you going to be doing

now in the top right corner you’ll see

this right here the word owns so

throughout this conversation I call my

friend owns and she calls me owns this

is actually a nickname that we gave each

other several years ago so a nickname is

just something that you call your friend

or someone in your family okay it’s a

name that you guys choose to represent

your friendship okay so I say owns to my

friend and in the bottom left-hand

corner you see the word / so during the

conversation my friend said work /

business so now you can see that this /

just refers to this right here so when

you say it out loud you call this right

here a / ok me well I was working on

some things but I saw some pictures on

Instagram and I noticed that you went to

Miami this weekend

sure dude yes yes yes big things this is

an expression or slang that means

something great amazing or that you

believe to be good so it’s kind of an

expression used between friends or

family to express great amazing or

something good so I thought it was good

that she went to Miami so I said wow big

things Carnival now Carnival is a series

of events celebrated by Caribbean people

with dancing parades and other

festivities now you’ll see that I have

two different pictures the reason I put

these pictures here is because Carnival

also refers to an area or a place that

people go to have fun they ride a ferris

wheel they walk around and they buy

different food but this is not talking

about that type of carnival instead my

friend is referring to this Caribbean

event that happens in certain countries

and people dress up as you’ll see these

women in this picture are dressed up in

very amazing outfits and there’s lots of

music so my friend went to this type of

Carnival that’s what’s up that’s what’s

up this is an expression slang that

means you like what was said or done it

also means that you think something is

good so once again my friend is talking

about her trip that she took with

another one of her friends to Miami and

they went to Carnival and I said wow

that’s good or that’s what’s up

I know so when we lived together back in

Korea and we were working there we

always talked about traveling and stuff

but like what’s your favorite part about

traveling there like so many things but

I think I like like this to me in my

head I think of like different speeds so

like the worldís shoe

right like you see like the globe and

you’re like grief and I live in like

it’s like peace of it when you travel

even if it’s like internationally or

locally because from where I am Miami’s

three hours

three and change yeah good grief good

grief

now this is an expression that is used

to show irritation frustration or

surprise

so in our conversation my friend was

expressing her frustration when she said

good grief so let’s look at two

different examples using this expression

someone can say

good grief did you burn it again talking

about food or something else or you can

also say good grief it has started to

rain again

so again irritation or frustration maybe

you just got your hair done and you

didn’t want it to rain that’s yeah

that’s like still a whole other part of

the world it’s filled with like Hispanic

culture I mean again we left the

carnival no Caribbean carnival because

they know I think in Brazil they have

their own carnival but it’s you know

huge Hispanic culture like we went to

the beach and I’m really not doing a

huge beach person but on the side like

there’s much a restaurant it was nothing

to have him just walking on in bathing

suit I was like oh okay oh yours your

clothes oh yeah that’s right this is

mine this is another part of what my

enormous so I like seeing other people’s

norms other people’s cultures norm okay

this word is also used very often okay

an accepted standard or a way of being

or doing things okay you can also say

it’s a situation or type of behavior

that is expected and considered to be

typical in English we say norm so let’s

look at three examples using this word

so we can say one child per family is

becoming the norm in some countries it

means having one baby is becoming a norm

in some countries our second example

what are the social norms in your

country so we have social norms

referring to be

a VIIRS okay and our third example is

delays are likely to be the norm for air

travel next year it means they’re going

to be many delays next year

oh wait that wasn’t because of Carnival

it was literally just how they walk

around right so I’ve been to Miami

before and so the difference in going

for Carnival and this time was that it

was a little bit more of the Caribbean

like flag egde if you will flag egde

flag äj–

okay so what’s important about this word

is this part right here a GE this is a

suffix added to a word to emphasize it a

GE is added to it so this is an

expression or slang that means the

amount and types of flags that were

displayed so my friend was trying to

tell me that there were lots of flags

when she went to Carnival I could get

people to the beach and like on the side

where there’s like restaurants and stuff

people were just walking up and down

that’s just Miami on a Tuesday like I

never go to Miami years ago to visit one

of my friends but I was only there for a

short period of time but I remember

being hot but I don’t know her like

being by the beach as much with the

babies and stuff but I mean it’s that

right there experience plus your

experience so what you’ll notice is I

refer to her experience and then I gave

my experience this is a part of having a

good conversation okay you acknowledge

the person’s experience that you are

listening to and then you add it to your

own experience as well so it’s kind of

this back-and-forth connecting their

experience and your experience I mean

I’m down with being outside and walking

around and yeah myself and enjoying the

water at the same time exactly and

that’s the thing no one

I mean I know I generally was because I

was aware of it and so even if for me I

had all like this white mesh

what-have-you and I was still being

cautious of keeping it quote I mean it’s

mesh so like how much closure could I

have gotten out of it but still so I’m

like this is their norm like they’re

just okay you’re okay

button you know it’s just different

cultures and I just like it it’s yeah

and bracing in in others yeah yeah

you’ve done some traveling yourself I

mean you hung out in Korea for a minute

I can feel that okay this is an

expression that I personally use a lot

okay I can feel that so this expression

it’s also slang is used when you are

trying to show empathy with the person

or confirm agreement so when I wanted to

say that I agreed with what my friend

was saying I said oh I can feel that now

let’s look at an example of this okay

basically I am understanding and feeling

the same emotions as you or simply I

understand and agree

okay these are other examples that mean

the exact same thing so again I can feel

that was because of the culture aspect

because Korea was so opposite of my own

culture being an American and being an

african-american it was so honest that

that there were so many aspects of their

culture that really intrigued me and I

was really curious to intrigue intrigue

okay this is a common vocabulary word

now this word means to arouse the

curiosity or interest of okay or to

interest someone often because of an

unusual or unexpected quality remember I

was talking about my culture and Korean

culture okay and I was saying that I

noticed some differences and there were

also similarities but this aspect

actually is what intrigued me okay

now let’s look at some examples on the

bottom of the page it says I was

intrigued by his way

of talking okay his way of talking was

something that interested me the second

example he was intrigued by ancient

mysteries okay ancient mysteries were

something that caused him to be more

curious okay and finally we have they

were intrigued by the possibility of a

natural cure for cancer so finding a

cure for cancer was something that

interested them

so again intrigue understanding how

important it is to learn about cultures

and yeah realizing that the cultures in

Italy what they I guess the right and

that’s kind of a best way to know it I

was gonna say the best way to know it is

you can get a good amount from a book a

movie of this so when you’re in that

culture the pull of something okay this

is an expression that is used to express

the attraction or power of something

real quick remember earlier I taught you

this / okay / so Express the attraction

/ power of something but in this

situation will say or power of something

okay so let’s look at two examples right

here the pull of the movie business

started early on in America so the

attraction or power of the movie

business okay next example

it was the pull of his influence that

led to the passing of the bill so

whoever the man was he had a lot of

influence on other people so his

influence led to the bill being passed

so we call that the pull of his

influence it’s it’s completely different

and you know like you said you’re

African American Caribbean American and

so it’s it’s a different yeah but I

liked it I liked it a lot with tang I

think my uncle’s calling me so I got a

run real quick

欢迎和 Tiffany 说英语

我是 Tiffany 老师 让我们直接跳进去

,什么都没有,只是在

这里为工作/业务做一些事情 你在

做什么 你在做什么 你

现在在做什么 这个表达意味着你

在做什么 这也是一种非正式的

问候,通常用于朋友

和家人之间,好吧,现在这里有一些

你在做什么的例子,它们具有

相同的含义,嘿,你

现在在做什么,我饿了,这意味着

你现在在做什么我' 我饿了我想

和你一起出去吃饭

今天所以我很

好奇你现在要做什么

在右上角你会

在这里看到这个词拥有所以

在整个对话中我称我的

朋友拥有,她称我拥有

这实际上是我们的昵称

几年前给了对方一个 昵称

只是您称呼您的朋友

或家人的名字,好吧,这是

你们选择代表

您的友谊的名字,好吧,所以我说我的

朋友拥有,在

左下角您会看到这个词 / 所以在

谈话我的朋友说工作/

生意,所以现在你可以看到这个/

只是指这个,所以当

你大声说出来时,你就

在这里称呼这个/好吧,我正在做

一些事情,但我看到了一些图片

Instagram 我注意到你

这个周末

去了迈阿密 令人惊奇或

好事,所以我

认为她去迈阿密很好,所以我说哇

大事 嘉年华现在嘉年华是

加勒比人庆祝的一系列活动,

包括舞蹈游行和其他

庆祝活动,现在你会看到 e 我有

两张不同的照片我把

这些照片放在这里的原因是因为狂欢节

也指人们去玩乐的地区或地方

他们乘坐摩天

轮他们四处走动他们购买

不同的食物但这不是在

谈论 那种类型的嘉年华,而不是我的

朋友指的

是在某些国家发生的加勒比活动

,人们会打扮,因为你会看到

这张照片中的这些女人穿着

非常漂亮的服装,而且有很多

音乐,所以我的朋友去了这个

嘉年华的类型 怎么了 怎么

了 这是一个表达俚语,

表示您喜欢所说或所做的,

也表示您认为某事

很好,所以我的朋友又一次

谈论她和另一个人一起旅行的旅行

朋友去了迈阿密,

他们去了嘉年华,我说哇

,这很好,或者这就是

我知道的,所以当我们一起住在

韩国并且在那里工作时,我们

总是谈论旅行和 东西,

但就像你最喜欢

去那里旅行的部分一样很多东西,但

我想我喜欢这个在我

脑海里我想像不同的速度,所以

就像世界的

鞋子就像你看到的地球一样,

你就像悲伤 我的生活就像

你旅行时一样平静,

即使它像国际或

本地一样,因为我在迈阿密的

三个小时

三小时并且改变是的好悲伤好

悲伤

现在这是一个

用来表达愤怒沮丧或

惊讶的表达

所以在我们的谈话中,当我的朋友

说好悲伤时,她表达了她的挫败感

所以让我们看两个

不同的例子

又开始

下雨了,

所以又是恼怒或沮丧,也许

你刚做完头发,你

不想下雨,是

的,这就像世界的另一

部分 rld 它充满了西班牙

文化,我的意思是,我们再次离开

狂欢节没有加勒比狂欢节,因为

他们知道我认为在巴西他们有

自己的狂欢节,但你知道

巨大的西班牙文化,就像我们

去海滩一样,我真的没有做

巨大的海滩人,但在旁边,就像

有很多餐馆

一样,让他穿着泳衣走路

没什么意思

喜欢看到别人的

规范 其他人的文化 规范 OK

这个词也经常使用 OK

一个公认的标准或一种存在

或做事的方式 OK 你也可以说

这是一种

预期并被认为是

典型的情况或行为类型 英语我们说规范,所以让我们

看三个使用这个词的例子,

这样我们就可以说每个家庭一个孩子正在

成为某些国家的规范,这

意味着生一个孩子在某些国家正在成为一种规范

我们的第二个例子

你们国家的社会规范是什么,

所以我们的社会规范

指的

是 VIIRS 一年

哦,等等,这不是因为狂欢节

,实际上只是他们走路的方式

,所以我以前去过迈阿密

,所以参加狂欢节的不同之处

在于,

这一次更像是加勒比海

标记 egde 如果你要标记 egde

flag äj–

好的,所以这个词的重要之处在于

这里的这部分 a GE 这是一个

添加到单词中以强调它的后缀

GE 添加到它所以这是一个

表达或俚语

表示显示的旗帜的数量和类型,

所以我的朋友试图

告诉我,

她去嘉年华

时有很多旗帜

走起来和

这只是周二的迈阿密,就像

几年前我从未去迈阿密拜访

我的一个朋友一样,但我只在那里呆了很

短的时间,但我

记得很热,但我不知道她喜欢

在海滩上 很多关于

婴儿和其他东西,但我的意思

是那里的经验加上你的

经验,所以你会注意到我

参考了她的经验,然后我给出了

我的经验,这是进行良好对话的一部分,

好吧,你承认

这个人的经验 你正在

听,然后你也把它添加到你

自己的体验中,所以这是

一种来回连接他们的

体验和你的

体验的方式

准确地同时浇水,

我的意思是我知道我通常是因为

我意识到了这一点,所以即使对我来说,我

都喜欢这个白色网状物,

你有什么,我仍然很

谨慎 保持引用我的意思是 它是

网状的,就像我能摆脱多少封闭一样

,但我还是

觉得这是他们的常态,就像他们

没事一样,你没事,

按钮,你知道这只是不同的

文化,我只是喜欢它是的,

而且 支持别人 是的 是的

你自己也做过一些旅行 我的

意思是你在韩国呆了一分钟

我能感觉到 好吧 这

是我个人经常使用的表达

好吧 我能感觉到 所以这个

表达也是俚语 当你

试图对这个人表示同情

或确认同意时使用,所以当我

想说我同意我

朋友所说的话时,我说哦,我能感觉到现在

让我们看一个例子,好吧,

基本上我理解并且

和你有同样的情绪,或者只是我

理解并同意,

好吧,这些是其他例子,意思

是完全相同的,所以我再次感觉到

这是因为文化方面,

因为韩国与我自己的文化完全相反,我

是美国人,是美国人

af rican-american 实在是太诚实了

,他们的文化有很多

方面真的让我很感兴趣,

我真的很想引起阴谋

经常因为

不寻常或意想不到的品质而引起某人的兴趣记得我

在谈论我的文化和韩国

文化,我说我

注意到了一些差异,也有

相似之处,但这

实际上是我感兴趣的地方,好吧,

现在让我们看一些例子

在页面底部它说我

对他

的说话方式很感兴趣 好吧 他的说话方式

让我感兴趣 第二个

例子 他对古代的奥秘很感兴趣 古代的

奥秘

让他

更好奇 我们有他们

对自然治愈癌症的可能性很感兴趣,

所以找到

治愈癌症的方法是他们

感兴趣的事情

em 再次引起人们的兴趣

,了解了解文化的重要性,是的,

意识到意大利的文化

我认为是正确的

,这是了解它

的最佳方式,我想说了解它的最佳方式是

你可以 从一本书中获得大量

这样的电影,所以当你在那种

文化中时,对某事的吸引力好吧,

这是一个用来表达

某事的吸引力或力量的表达方式,

快速记住之前我教过你

这个/好吧/ 所以表达

某事物的吸引力/力量,但在这种

情况下会说某事物的力量或力量,

所以让我们看两个

例子,电影业

的吸引力很早就在美国开始了,所以

电影业的吸引力或力量

还可以下一个例子

正是他的影响力

导致了法案的通过,所以

无论这个人是谁,他对其他人都有很大的

影响力,所以他的

影响力导致了法案的通过,

所以我们称之为他的拉力

影响力是完全不同的

,你知道就像你说你是

非裔美国人加勒比裔美国人,

所以这是不同的,是的,但我

喜欢它我很喜欢它和唐我
