TIP 3 6 Tips For Speaking Natural English
hi I’m Vanessa from the website speak
English with Vanessa comm how can you
stop sounding like a textbook and start
sounding like a native speaker let’s
talk about it
welcome to tip number three in the
series six tips for speaking natural
English tip number three is to listen to
a story and try to repeat it this tip
might take a little bit of time 15
minutes may be 30 minutes but if you do
it it can be really effective for
helping you use natural English there
are two parts to this tip the first part
is after you listen to a short story
maybe 2 minutes long write down in the
notebook that we talked about for tip
number 2 write down in your notebook the
story in your own words write it down in
your own words what happened what do you
remember what words can you remember
just try to write down anything that you
remember then listen back to the story
and compare your written version to the
version that you listen to to the
version the story the original version
the second part is the speaking exercise
listen to the story one more time and
try to speak out loud using your own
words try to repeat the story using your
own words out loud and if you would like
to compare it with the original version
I recommend using your phone to record
your voice so that you can have a record
of what you said it’s easier to compare
if you have this record record your
voice and compare it to the original see
which words you missed which words were
different which words you could add
maybe there were some expressions in the
video that you would like to use
yourself and then you can see I’m not
using the natural expression from the
video
I should try to use that so you can
refine your English you can make your
English sound more natural through this
