[Music]

hi everybody welcome back to ask alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and i answer them

maybe okay let’s get to your first

question this week

first question this week comes from mo

adam hi mo adam

mo adam says how do i express the plural

form of

non-humans like animals or things should

i use

it are or they are ah

use they are i assume for this question

we’re talking about countable nouns if

you’re using countable nouns

please use they are plus the noun with

an

s sound at the end so i know that we

might kind of associate using they with

people but we actually also use they

when we’re talking about

objects so we don’t use it when we’re

talking about

plural objects we will however use it

if we’re talking about an uncountable

noun so please keep this in mind

if you’re using a countable noun please

use they are

if you’re using an uncountable noun use

it

is so let’s take a look at some examples

of

they are with the plural form and these

things will introduce

non-human things for example these

computers

they’re from my company nice shoes

they’re brand new yeah

i wish i could stay in a luxury hotel

but man

the rooms they’re so pricey

so in sum please just make sure if

you’re using a countable noun use

they are plus the plural form of your

noun i hope that this helps you

thanks for the question okay let’s go on

to your next question

next question this week comes from aniko

hi aniko

aniko says hi alicia could you please

explain the meaning of

for the record when and how is it used

in everyday speech

okay sure we use for the record to mean

my official statement is or my

official opinion is so we use for the

record

just before we make the statement or

just before we share that information

the idea here is that we expect that

information

is going to be written down or is going

to be recorded

like literally recorded in a record

so a record literally used to refer to

something like a notebook where we kept

information so when we say

for the record it literally means this

is information that i want to say

and have included in a record so we use

this a lot

when we’re trying to clear up so that

means trying to make something clear

when we’re trying to clear up something

that’s controversial

or maybe there’s been a misunderstanding

or there’s been trouble or a problem of

some kind

because information is not so clear and

so we say

for the record to make our official

statement or to share our official

opinion about something

let’s take a look at some examples i

would like to say for the record that i

think this is a terrible decision

for the record i didn’t cheat on that

test

so you might hear people like begin an

interview or you might hear people

beginning

like a legal situation with the

expression state your name for the

record

which means please say your name so that

we can officially record it

so for the record just means give us

information that you

expect to be considered official another

related term that you might hear

also in kind of legal or like uh maybe

police related or controversy related

situations

is the expression let the record show

let the record show

so let the record show is usually said

by

like a lawyer or some other kind of

legal professional

and it’s usually said to the person

writing notes or the person recording

like the discussion or the situation and

they use it

to mean please like make a note in the

record that something happened

so for example let the record show that

the witness refused to answer

questions so in simple english that

means please write down in the record

that the witness refused to answer

questions so this let the record show is

kind of a specific expression that we

use

in legal situations for the record is

fairly similar though you may also hear

it used in everyday speech

to sound kind of funny like if we want

to make kind of a

basic or very like everyday opinion

sound a little official just like for

humor purposes to sound funny

someone might say for the record and

then introduce their opinion

but in most cases especially for like

media for the record

is used to make official statements so i

hope that this helps you thanks for an

interesting question

okay let’s move on to your next question

next question

comes from jung yoon kim i hope i said

that right hi jungyeon kim

jungyun says a friend of mine asked if

something was mine

i was sure it did not belong to me

what’s the best way to respond to the

question

is this yours in a case like this it

couldn’t be mine

or it can’t be mine which is correct um

you could use either really i think i

would probably use

it can’t be mine because it couldn’t be

mine sounds to me a little bit too

formal and too polite and you mentioned

you’re talking to your friend

in this case so i would probably say it

can’t be mine

if i had to choose from one of these i

mean they’re both correct they both

communicate the same idea

but if it were me again in this

situation i would probably say something

a little bit different i would probably

say something like that’s definitely not

mine mine’s in my house or there’s no

way that’s mine i threw mine away last

year

i would probably say something like

that’s definitely not mine or

there’s no way that’s mine like those

feel a little more direct

and they’re a little bit rough so it

feels natural to use those expressions

with my friends

by the way the expression there’s no way

means there’s no possibility like

there’s no chance that that

is mine that’s what that expression

means so in sum you could use

all of these i think i would probably

use there’s no way that’s mine or

that can’t possibly be mine something a

little bit more direct and then i follow

up

with some evidence like mine is at my

house or i threw it away last year

so you can use any of these whichever

you prefer but i would suggest using

something a little more direct when

you’re speaking with your friends

so i hope that this helps you thanks for

the question let’s move on to our next

question

next question comes from alexander hi

alexander

alexander says hi do the expressions you

want to do something

you should do something and you need to

do something mean the same thing

i’ve heard many people say you want to

do something

meaning you should do something but i

can’t find any explanations about using

want to in this way thanks ah i’m

guessing that this use of want to

is when people are teaching someone else

how to do

something so like for example if you’re

showing someone how to use

software for the first time you might

hear people use you want to do this you

wanna do that

like you’re you’re kind of teaching them

something but some people

choose to use you want to like the next

step you’re going to

want to do that’s kind of the feel of

this expression

this is a personal choice so in that

case

yes when you’re teaching someone to do

something

and you’re like you’re showing them

steps in a process you can use

you want to do this so for example like

if i’m teaching someone how to edit

video i might say

first you want to import the video then

you want to make a timeline

then you want to start choosing the

parts of the video to use

so i’m using you want to there but you

could replace that with

you should first you should import the

video then you should create a timeline

then you should choose the parts of the

video

so yes in that specific situation

want to and should can have the same

meaning

but in general no they have very

different meanings

like we use you want to generally to

ask about someone’s feelings for

something like you want to go to a movie

later or like you want to get something

to eat

like you’re asking for someone’s opinion

about something making a suggestion

when you’re using you should do

something it’s for advice

reasons so that’s kind of similar to

teaching someone to do something

then your final point about using you

need to do something

that could also be used to describe

steps in a process

yes but it has that feeling of

responsibility

so we use that when we have obligations

like things that we need to take care of

like you need to go to the bank today

like you’re telling someone else to do

something you’re telling someone else

about their responsibilities

so in some yes uh in this specific

situation when you’re teaching someone

steps in a process

you should do something and you want to

do something

can mean the same thing but outside of

this situation

they have very different functions and

very different meanings

so i hope that this helps you thanks

very much for this question

all right let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from

jin hi jin jin says what is the

difference between

new and newbie how do i use these words

ah nice one yeah nu is an adjective

newbie refers to a person who is new in

a situation and it is a noun

let’s take a look at a couple of example

sentences to compare

how we might use these let’s imagine you

have just

joined like a team of some kind like a

new sport or some kind of activity

you could introduce yourself to the

people in your team by saying hi

i’m new or you could say hi i’m a newbie

so using hi i’m new sounds a little bit

more natural in that situation

because you’re introducing yourself to

people you

don’t know so the deal with newbie or

the thing about newbie is that it’s kind

of a cute word it’s sort of

casual it’s friendly we use it when

we’re talking to people that we already

know

or we’re kind of in a community that we

already know

so for that reason hi i’m a newbie might

sound a little bit

too friendly when you’re introducing

yourself to someone for the first time

let’s compare this then to a different

situation

let’s imagine you’re working together

with your teammates on a new project

and you need to learn a new software

like microsoft excel or something

you might ask your teammate for help by

saying something like

hey i’m new to excel can you help me

or you could say um i’m an excel newbie

can you help me so in that case either

is fine

but newbie sounds a little cute a little

friendly a little bit closer

so newbie has the feeling of

friendliness a little bit like you’re in

a community you’re in a situation

where people already know who you are

and you can kind of feel that it’s

acceptable to use that word

so again both sentences they communicate

the same

idea it’s just a little bit of a

distance difference like the distance

between you and the person listening

is a bit closer than if you say i’m new

so you can think about this

when you’re choosing between these two

words again nu is an adjective

hi i’m new and newbie is a noun hi

i’m a newbie so i hope that this helps

you

one more bonus point you may also see

n-o-o

like the number zero zero and b noob

so noob is an even more casual word

that’s very commonly used

online and in video games and it means

someone who is new to the situation

but also doesn’t really know very much

and they’re kind of irritating or they

get in the way

so you might hear people using noob in

this way

some people myself included also like to

use noob in a kind of self-deprecating

manner

so self-deprecating means you use it to

make yourself seem a bit lower

so when you want to express that you’re

new to something and not very good

you can say i’m a noob so again it’s a

noun just like newbie

so a few extra points there i hope that

this was helpful for you thanks for an

interesting question

hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i’m going to talk about

catenative verbs let’s get started

first let’s begin what is a catenative

verb

there are two points i want to introduce

first

first a catenated verb is a verb that

can

chain to other verbs so we can connect

a second verb to this first catenary

verb

when we use catenated verbs the verb

after the catenative verb can take two

forms

first it can take the infinitive form

that means

to plus the verb or

it can take the infinitive form without

to

i’ll show you some examples later the

second form it can

take is the gerund form that’s the ing

ending form of the verb so we use

catenated verb plus infinitive or

catenated verb plus

gerund when we make these sentences so

it’s like the verb that we begin with

and then our chaining verbs come after

that so the first verb is the catenated

verb

let’s take a look at some example

sentences then

first one she should stop smoking

here my caternative verb is in red so

stop is my catenated verb

it connects to smoking so

smoking ends in the ing form here

smoking so this is the connecting verb

we start here we connect it here with

this ing

form another example with the ing

form the gerund form please start

writing so start is my catenated verb

it chains to the next thing writing is

the second verb the verb we use to

follow it so this is in the ing form

let’s look at two more examples that use

the infinitive form

here we want to build

a house so here’s my catenated verb

the first verb here then i follow it

with two builds so

two and build together here this is the

infinitive form

i need to use two here we want to build

a house second he needs

to buy a suit my cat a native verb is

need i’ve got this s here i need to

conjugate the verb because my subject is

he

he needs to buy a suit

so depending on the sentence we need to

choose the infinitive form

or the gerund form i marked this

example though with this mark because

this is an example of some

situations where using the gerund form

or the infinitive form

can actually change the meaning of the

sentence

if for example i said she should stop to

smoke

it means she should stop her activities

to smoke like to smoke a cigarette this

sentence means

she should stop smoking like that means

that she should stop the activity of

smoking

in her life altogether so be aware that

there are some cases where

gerund and infinitive have different

meanings

there aren’t so many but there are some

so try to keep this in mind

and this is something that you need to

remember as you read and as you listen

so based on context really okay

so now i want to continue to kind of a

more

uh in-depth topic a little bit deeper

into this subject

complex catenatives so complex catenated

verbs

these are catenated verbs that take an

object

so i have some example sentences here

again the catenated verb is in red

and the object is in blue here

will you help me clean the room

so my catenated verb here is help my

object is me and then my linking verb is

clean so clean here you’ll notice

there’s no

two this is an example like i mentioned

here

where sometimes we don’t use two before

the infinitive

so we don’t use it in this case it’s

just a plain infinitive

will you help me clean the room so

here’s my cattle native i chained it

to clean with an object so this is a

complex catenative

another example they asked us to move

our bags they asked us to move our bags

so

here is my verb my catenated verb ask

past tense in this case my object

so us we were the receiving party

so they asked us to move our bags here i

have the infinitive form again to move

in this case i have the two included

here

okay um some more examples she wants

them to take photos here’s my catenated

verb

want in this case wants because my

subject is she

and my object them to take again i have

the infinitive form

here she wants them to take photos

finally he took me to apply for a loan

again my catenated verb took past tense

object me and i have the infinitive form

again to apply for alone

so you will see these different types of

catenated verb related structures so

complex catenative refers to

these patterns that have objects

so when do we use this kind of thing we

use it

actually a lot in speech especially when

we’re just talking casually like about

things we need to do

we can make long sentences by chaining

verbs together in this way

here’s a quick example we went to get a

rental car

to help our friends move to a new

apartment

so this maybe is a little bit awkward

but

it’s something that a native speaker

might say we just say everything really

quickly

but let’s break this sentence down so we

went

here’s my past tense we went to get so

here’s a catenated verb right here

we went to get a rental car so my

linking verb here is in the infinitive

form

to help so here’s another catenative

verb

in this case it’s complex so to help our

friends so who did we help

we helped our friends move so here’s my

linking verb

move to a new apartment so we can kind

of chain a lot of

ideas together with something like this

so native speakers as well when we’re

speaking quickly maybe we don’t make

perfect sentences or we don’t make

complete sentences

but we use this kind of speaking we use

this kind of

verb linking to make longer ideas and

longer sentences

so i hope that this helps you as you

think about how to put verbs together

if you want some more information on

catenative verbs

i would recommend checking just doing a

google search to see some lists and some

more example sentences of catenative

verbs

because there are there are quite a few

um but we

just kind of put them together depending

on the situation depending on what we

want to communicate as with any

other grammar point so i hope that you

get some practice with this and pay

attention to this when you’re reading to

see

common types of pairings that use this

kind of grammar

so i hope that this was helpful for you

of course if you have any questions or

comments

or if you want to practice making

example sentences with catenative verbs

please feel free to do so in the

comments section of this video

hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i’m going to talk about how to

use

a and the and when

to use no article so let’s get started

okay first i want to begin by talking

about using

a and an these are the indefinite

articles that we use in

english regarding pronunciation you

might hear people use

a or a you can choose whichever you

prefer

they’re both correct so we use the

indefinite article

uh or an when we want to introduce

a noun so that means it’s our first time

using the noun like when we’re telling a

story for example

so the first time we introduce the noun

we use

a or an to do that

so we use a if the following noun

begins with a consonant sound a

consonant

sound some examples of this a cookie

this is a a consonant sound a

pen this p is a consonant sound

and a fish so this f is a consonant

sound so if the next word if the

following noun

begins with a consonant sound we should

use the

uh indefinite article then

we use an when the following noun

begins with a vowel sound so some

examples of this are

an apple so here we have a as our vowel

sound we use

an an apple an egg

hear the e sound and then an

hour so here this is a vowel

sound so this is a great example of this

note that i want to mention

sound does not equal spelling

so i said when the following noun

begins with a vowel sound we use

an here yes we have the consonant

h beginning this word but it makes

a vowel sound an hour

hour so it’s like the h doesn’t make

that h

sound so an hour we use this indefinite

article

an instead of uh so please be careful

we’re listening for a sound not for the

spelling

in this case okay then as you can see

we use the indefinite article before

nouns in the singular form only

so for example you don’t see s at the

end of these words

we can only use the singular form so

meaning

one of something only the singular form

when you’re using

the indefinite article so a very simple

example sentence

using the indefinite article is

i got a dog we might start a story with

this i got

a dog so dog is in the singular

i got one dog this is a new dog i’m

introducing this dog to my conversation

so i use uh to do that okay

let’s compare this now to the definite

article

the is the definite article in english

so we use the to refer to

a known or a specific noun

so this can be something that we

directly explain

or we just understand it from the

context

so relating to this point something that

we understand from context or a specific

noun this can be when there’s only

one of something so a great example of

this is some countries

for example the united states of america

or like the republic of so and so

those begin with the so there’s only one

of that and we understand that

we use the in cases like that it’s in

like the title

okay so we use that to talk about things

we know about

so something that we heard earlier in a

conversation or earlier in a story for

example

or when we know what the noun is so

we can use this before singular or

plural forms of nouns so here’s an

example

i got a dog which we saw before i got a

dog i bought a bed

for the dog here i’ve used

the because in this sentence

i mentioned this dog the dog in this

sentence

is the dog i bought or i got rather

in the first sentence so i’m introducing

it here i got a dog

this is my introductory statement kind

of my full sentence

here’s this new information this new

noun i got a dog

in my next sentence i want to mention

this same dog

i use the to describe that i bought a

bed

for the dog you’ll also notice here i’ve

introduced another

new thing i bought a bed for the dog so

i’ve used

the indefinite article here this is

another new thing

but i want to refer to the same known

now that i

introduced in the previous sentence okay

so this is an introduction to using the

definite article

now let’s look at when to use no article

so

no uh no and no the

we use no article when referring

generally

to a group or all instances like all

kinds or all types of

something we use this a lot when we’re

talking about things we like

or dislike for example so

we use the plural form of the noun we do

not use the singular form we need to use

the plural form

a very simple example of this is i like

dogs

i like dogs so you’ll see here i’ve used

the plural form

dogs so by saying i like dogs

it means i like all instances of that i

like all

examples of dogs all different kinds of

dogs i like

dogs okay so let’s continue on then

to a short story example that i prepared

so this example includes uses

of the indefinite article the definite

article

and cases where we’ll see no article

there are a couple points i want to talk

about

so let’s take a look last weekend i took

a bus to a park near my neighborhood

i walked around the park then i found

a place to sit down and relax i read a

book

took photos and enjoyed watching the

people

at the park but i got bit by a bug

i hate mosquitoes so this is a very

simple story

about something that happened recently

this is a past tense story

it features um indefinite definite

articles and no article

so let’s take a look last weekend i took

a

bus so i’m introducing a bus this is the

first case

where i’m explaining a bus in my story

so i took a bus

to a park near my neighborhood so

a park near my neighborhood this means

there could be

other parks near the neighborhood i want

to talk about one

in particular to a park in my

neighborhood

i walked around the park so here i use

the to refer to this park

i introduced earlier in my story

i walked around the park this park i

talked about before

then found a place to sit down

and relax so my next step was to find a

place

so i’m using a here because

the place is just any place i just

chose one specific place to sit down and

relax this could be any place i want to

talk about just one in particular

okay then i said i read a book so again

i’m using uh here to introduce this so i

have not talked about the book before

i want to introduce my book to the story

i read a book

took photos so here there’s nothing

you’ll notice

i took a photo i could say i took a

photo if i took one photo but maybe if i

took

a lot of photos i would say i took

photos i took

photos and i enjoyed watching

the people at the park so this the i

think is pretty clear

at the park so i’m talking about the

specific park i visited

this one however i’ve included in

parentheses

watching the people at the park

why did i do this so there are some

cases

where it’s correct to use the and it’s

correct to use no

article this is one example of that here

enjoyed watching the people in the park

and enjoyed watching people in the park

those are both correct sentences

actually

there’s not really a difference in

meaning here because

i’ve included a location here like if i

said

i enjoyed watching the people i might be

confused as the listener like which

people

who were you watching so saying watching

people

at the park makes it clear that it’s

only about people who were at the park

if i want to be extra specific and give

extra emphasis

i can include that here watching the

people

in the park like this is the thing i was

focusing my attention on in the park

so you can choose to include it you can

choose not to include it they

communicate the same thing but this is

one example of a situation

um where you could use uh you could use

the article or you could choose

not to okay then our last sentence

but i got bit by a bug a

bug so again new thing something new is

in my story a bug in this case by one

bug

then i finish with this expression i

hate mosquitoes so mosquitoes are those

small bugs that bite you and it gets

really itchy a mosquito

but i’m making a general statement all

mosquitoes i

hate mosquitoes maybe because they bite

so

i use the plural form i hate mosquitoes

with no article i hate mosquitoes

so this is a simple example of a

situation

or a story where you would use definite

indefinite and no

article to explain something that

happened to you

so i hope that this lesson gives you a

good introduction to

how and when to use uh an and

and no article but if hi everybody my

name is alicia

in this lesson i’m going to talk about

some expressions you can use

to talk about your hometown or your home

city or maybe your home

country let’s get started okay

the first sentence or the first

expression that i want to talk about is

just a basic

introduction i’m from so i’m from

your city or i’m from your country

please be careful

i’ve noticed in like the comment section

of the videos that we make for example

many of you introduce yourself but you

forget this

i’m from i’m from i often see the

mistake

i from which is incorrect so that’s not

correct we should use

i’m from remember i’m is the contracted

the reduced form of

i am i am from city i am from

country so please don’t forget this uh

um

i am i am from a city

when we make a sentence with this we

could say i’m from

vietnam for a country i’m from vietnam

or from a city i’m from bangkok so you

can choose either one your city or your

country both are fine to use

so if you want to choose something

different or if you want to explain

in a little more detail specifically you

can use an expression like this

i was born in a city

or in a specific country i was born

in another mistake i see with students

is they forget this was i often see

comments that say

i born in which is incorrect i was

born in city or country

i was born in brazil in the case of a

country

i was born in cambodia so you can use

your country name

here of course if you want to use a city

for example i was born in bangkok

and you want to give more information

maybe for some reason the person you’re

talking to

doesn’t know that city or maybe it’s a

really small city

you can say it’s in country so for

example

i was born in bangkok it’s in thailand

so you can explain the country as a

follow-up with this expression

it’s in where it is your city it

is in thailand in this case it’s in

country

then if you want to share some

information about your hometown

these are some expressions you can use

to do that these are very open so i hope

that you can find something that helps

you

the first one is it has a lot of

noun phrase it has a lot of noun phrase

here it means your city or your country

it’s probably best to talk about your

city here

though if you live in a really small

city maybe you can share about your

country maybe your country is small too

so it’s good to share about something

that’s maybe easy to understand if

you’re introducing your city or your

country

so you could say it has a lot of

something so some examples

would be it has a lot of traffic like if

your city has a lot of traffic you can

mention that

it has a lot of good food or it has a

lot of

nature so there’s some kind of simple

noun phrase

here that you can use to describe

something in your city

please note we use has it

has the city has so not is

we use is for adjectives we’re using

has here because these are noun phrases

so you could say it is busy city

or it is a windy city for example

but when you’re using a noun phrase you

need to change your verb here

it has a lot of traffic it has a lot of

nature

so please be careful about this point

let’s go to the next point

it’s famous for it’s famous for

so in some cultures each city or each

country maybe has some

specific thing that that city is really

well known for

you can use this expression to describe

that thing

it’s famous for again it is your city

or maybe your country it’s famous for

something so again there’s some noun

phrase

some maybe activity some famous item

for example it’s famous for spicy

food like my country is famous for spicy

food for example

or it’s famous for entertainment or

nightlife maybe

so think of something that your city is

well known for

so like for example las vegas maybe it’s

famous for entertainment that’s

something we could say about las vegas

in the usa

okay another expression you can use

that’s very similar to

it has a lot of is this one here i’ve

made

two sentences or two expressions you can

use

there is or there are a lot of

something so there is or reduced theirs

or there are a lot of something so this

is kind of a different way to say

this very similar let’s look at some

examples

here this is kind of a negative point

but there’s

a lot of crime so maybe your hometown is

rather dangerous and you want to talk

about that

you can say there is a lot of crime

crime

is like activities or actions that are

against the law

they are illegal so to describe that you

can say

there’s a lot of crime in my hometown or

there are a lot of animals maybe in your

city that’s really closely connected to

nature

you can say there are a lot of animals

so just be cautious

here there is a lot of crime um so

crime is a mass noun or a plural noun

rather

so we can use this is form but here

when we have there are we need to use

this s at the end of the word there are

a lot of animals the plural form

there are a lot of animals so just pay

attention

if you’re using um a singular noun or

you’re using this like plural or mass

noun

that has no s at the end you can use

this is form

if you’re using a plural noun there are

is fine

so there are a lot of animals okay let’s

go on to the next one

lots of people like to do something lots

of people like to

and here we’ll do we’ll have like an

activity some kind of verb

phrase probably lots of people like to

go out at night so for las vegas for

example lots of people like to go out at

night

or lots of people like to do outdoor

sports

so you’ll notice i’ve got a verb here

lots of people like to verb

and then some other information to tell

us about that

lots of people like to swim in the river

something that

is like an activity that’s kind of

unique or that’s particularly

interesting for your city

okay finally the population this is

another one people like to talk about

if you want to be specific you can say

of course my hometown is very small or

my home city is really

big you can talk about it like that yes

if you want to give the specific number

how many people

you can use this expression population

means the number of people in your city

or the number of people

in your country so the population is

and follow it with the number the

population is about

20 000 people or about

150 000 people

i have people in parentheses here

because

we don’t really need to use it but you

might hear people say

people at the end of this expression we

don’t need to include

people here because we have population

we know

population means the number of people

though sometimes we include this

you don’t need to really the population

is about twenty thousand

is perfect okay let’s go on then to the

last couple points

the last points i marked here these are

about the weather

so a really common topic when you’re

talking about your hometown is the

weather

these are a few expressions you can use

to talk about

what the weather is like in your

hometown for example

it rains a lot it rains a lot

or you could say it’s very rainy

it’s dry you might say for example in

the summer

it’s dry or in winter it’s dry so

it here refers to weather like weather

patterns it rains a lot

it’s dry another one the weather

is sunny year round so this is a word

or a hyphenated word year round which

means

all throughout the year so non-stop the

weather is sunny

year-round another good word to know is

humid it’s humid so this is when

like um a good example might be like a

tropical

situation a tropical city or a tropical

country so

maybe the temperature it’s not so hot

maybe sometimes

but the water content the moisture

content in the air is very

high so we call that humid it’s humid

it’s very humid

you might also hear the word muggy muggy

muggy is a little bit less formal than

humid it sounds a little more negative

too it’s humid it’s so humid

so these are a few weather related words

like climate related words

here you can replace this word rains

with something else like it snows a lot

for example

it rains a lot it snows a lot maybe it

hails where you’re from

hail is like a ball of ice so when you

want to talk about precipitation like

things coming from clouds

you could use this pattern all right so

this is just a quick introduction to a

few things that i hope can help

you as you try to explain your hometown

or your home country to other people

if there’s something else that you would

like to know how to say or if you have

any questions

or comments or if you want to practice

making an introduction to your home city

with your english studies

jam okay hi everybody welcome back to

know your verbs my name is alicia and in

this lesson we’re going to talk about

the verb

jam let’s get started

let’s start with the basic definition of

this verb the basic definition of

jam is to cause something to be blocked

to cause something to be blocked

examples

i jammed the printer somehow we jammed

the shredder with paper

now let’s look at the conjugations for

this verb

present jam jams

passed jammed past participle

jammed progressive jamming

now let’s talk about some additional

meanings for this verb the first

additional meaning

is to push or force something into a

space

examples he jammed himself onto the

packed train

the moving company is jamming boxes into

trucks

so here we see examples of someone or

something

being pushed or forced into something

it’s like something that’s difficult to

get into or maybe there’s not enough

space

in the first example we see he pushed

himself

into a packed train that means that the

train is

full of people already but he pushes

himself he

jams himself in forcefully pushing in

order to get on the train

in the second example sentence we see it

in reference to

boxes a moving company is jamming boxes

into trucks which

means there’s maybe not a lot of space

in the truck

however he needs he or she the moving

person

needs to get these boxes in so they’re

forcefully pushing we use

jam to talk about that to describe that

act all right let’s go on to the second

additional meaning for this verb

the second additional meaning is to play

music

informally or to improvise music in a

group

examples the group jams a few times a

month

i think the neighbors are jamming again

so this use of

jam refers to practicing music or

playing music

in a group of people so there’s a group

of people usually different instruments

and there’s no song specifically there’s

no like

goal really they’re just making music

together

so you might have heard this called a

jam session

actually to me it sounds a little

strange to use the word

jam if you yourself are not a musician

like it feels strange to me to say

they’re jamming

because i’m not really the kind of

person who uses that word

but it might sound more natural coming

from a musician

so if you’re a musician and you like to

improvise music with people

you might be able to use this word quite

naturally to talk about your practice

sessions

so again it’s just practice it’s just

kind of enjoying and feeling the music

it’s not really playing with a goal in

mind

you’re improvising improvising so you

can also use it in general kind of to

talk about other ways of enjoying music

like with dance

or even just enjoying music and kind of

moving your head a little

bit too we sometimes use the word jam to

mean just like

improvising and enjoying music in some

way

um so that’s another way kind of related

to this meaning

that we can sometimes use jam the third

additional meaning for this verb

is to cause a part of the body to be

crushed or

injured somehow usually crushed examples

my friend jammed his finger in a door a

few years ago

i jammed my toe on my bed

okay so jammed in these cases usually

refers to some kind of like crushing

motion or some like

like hard impact something like this so

in the first example sentence

my friend jammed his finger in a door a

few years ago

it means in the open door so maybe

there’s the door

and the space between the door and the

wall this person’s finger

went in between those two and the door

closed that’s a perfect example of when

we would use

jam this actually happened to my friend

this is true and his finger

was jammed in the door so this crushing

motion this crushing injury

we use jam to refer to that we can also

use it to refer to other kind of similar

small

injuries usually to like fingers and

toes as in the second example sentence

i jammed my toe on my bed that refers to

like

against a hard object you’re walking

walking walking and you

touch or you jam your

finger or you jam your toe into an

object like a table

or sofa or a bed or something it’s quite

painful and it feels like you just

pushed it forcefully into that object we

can say

jammed another verb we use in this case

is stub i stubbed my toe

but you can say jammed or stub depending

on what you like

people use both okay let’s go on to the

next additional meaning

the next additional meaning is to

interfere with a broadcast to interfere

with a broadcast let’s go to some

example sentences

they’re jamming our signal the signal

from the satellite has been jammed so

this means that some thing or someone or

some kind of

like machine or data or something is

blocking

some signal so this could be blocking

like a wi-fi signal like

satellite tv radio signal something

is causing the signal to be disrupted

the broadcast to be disrupted there’s

some problem there

so we use the word jam to talk about

this you will see this a lot

in like spy and police and suspense

movies relating to technology

like you can jam your enemy’s signal and

they can’t get any communications out

for example

so you block someone’s communication or

you block someone’s ability to broadcast

information we use jam to refer to that

okay now let’s look at a variation for

this verb

this variation is to jam on the brakes

to jam on the brakes quite specific

this expression means to push quickly

and with

force on the brakes of a vehicle

examples

he jammed on the brakes when the child

stepped into the road

don’t jam the brakes so to jam the

brakes or jamming the brakes is usually

like a very

quick and fast and very uncomfortable

motion very uncomfortable like results

actually

so you push the brakes and the car

quickly comes to a stop where the car

jerks very fast so the people inside the

car feel uncomfortable

and it can be bad for the car’s braking

system

maybe it can also like damage items in

the car

so it’s considered typically to be not a

good thing to do

so it’s typically not recommended to jam

the brakes

you’ll hear jam the brakes and also jam

on the brakes both of them

are in use so you can choose which you

prefer they have the same

meaning okay so those are a few

different ways that you can use the verb

jam i hope that you found something new

of course if you have questions comments

or other ways to use the word jam

please let us know in the comment

section of this video hi

everyone i’m gabriella how are your

english listening skills

in this video you’ll have a chance to

test them out with a quiz

a man and a woman are talking about

banks

which bank is the woman going to choose

[Music]

i’m starting a part-time job so i’m

thinking about opening a new bank

account

which bank do you recommend well it

depends on what you’re looking for

for example both bank a and bank b have

plenty of locations and atms to choose

from

this is very convenient but bank a

charges atm fees for every transaction

bank b allows me to use their atm at no

charge during business hours on weekdays

that’s true speaking of atm fees bank c

never charges fees but they don’t have

as many atm locations

that is nice but i don’t like the fact

that it would be more difficult to find

atms with bank c

by the way bank d is the best when it

comes to high interest rates

are they but i’m only planning to use

this bank account for money i’ll be

making from my part-time job

which won’t be that much then you should

choose the bank with the most convenient

atms and lowest fees

link in the description below right now

they’re yours to keep forever okay let’s

jump into today’s topic

how to get back on track after language

learning failure

so how do you get back on track with

language learning after failing

think back to your school days did you

ever miss a homework assignment

most of us did you’d have to make it up

and do the next one

you had to double up on your work so if

you’ve ever missed a goal you might be

tempted to do the same thing

finish your old goal and achieve a new

one however that might not be such a

good idea

a key point to remember after failing a

goal is don’t set the same goal again

let’s explain why one if you’ve failed

the goal before

there’s a good chance that the goal

might be too much for you

in that case you want an easier goal two

you need to give yourself a chance to

succeed and if that requires setting a

super easy goal that you actually can

reach then so be it

do that for example if you tried to

learn 100 words in one month and failed

but you want to try again go for

something smaller like 20 words

between trying and failing the 100 word

goal again or reaching a smaller 20 word

goal

you’re much better off with the 20 word

goal it’ll be better for your motivation

to hit a super easy goal

instead of failing multiple times in a

row it’ll get you back in motion with

language learning

now that you know how to get back on

track here are some steps you can take

one think back to the last language goal

you set and

failed was it last year’s new year’s

resolution

and was it something like i just want to

be fluent or i want to speak the

language

you can let us know what your old goal

was in the comments

two aim for a smaller more realistic

goal

with that last goal in mind think about

how you might make a new

easier goal remember your goal should

always be

one small two measurable for example one

minute of conversation

100 words 10 grammar rules 10 lessons

etc

and three have a small time frame with a

deadline

in other words it’s a goal for the week

or for the month and the deadline is

january 31st for example

so if your failed goal was to just speak

fluently aim for something smaller

set a goal like i want to speak for one

minute this month

or i want to be able to introduce myself

by the end of this week

or i want to master the alphabet by the

end of this week

and schedule a deadline for yourself all

of these goals are small

measurable specific and easy to achieve

you’ll easily know if you’ve reached one

minute of speaking if you’ve learned the

alphabet or

learned how to say my name is in the

language you’re studying

so now that you have a goal three

find a way to fit language learning into

your life

instead of creating new routines that

you may have trouble sticking with

work with which you already have your

existing routines

if you already spend 10 minutes on

chores in the morning you can listen to

a lesson and learn a bit of language

if you take a walk you can listen to a

lesson then if you watch youtube for an

hour in the evening you can spend five

or ten minutes watching one of our

lessons

piggybacking off of your existing daily

routines is the easiest way to introduce

language learning into your life

okay now let’s talk about learning

material

four get back on track with easy

learning material

an easy way to restart learning is with

our audio and video lessons

all you have to do is hit play and

follow along and if you have to you can

multitask

for example as we mentioned you can be

doing chores and listening in

taking steps like these can help you

form study habits

it’s a lot easier to listen and do what

you usually do

as opposed to buying a textbook setting

aside time sitting down

and trying to go through it especially

if you’re not used to learning a

language

finally another very easy thing you can

do is take advantage of our word of the

day lessons

these are daily emails that teach you

one new word a day

the goal of these emails is to get you

used to learning and create a simple

routine

if you can stick with spending one quick

minute every day learning a new word

then you can grow to stick with almost

any other routine

so to recap we often fail and give up on

our goals because we overwhelm ourselves

whether it’s with an unrealistic goal a

heavy routine or complicated resources

you want to do the opposite avoid

overwhelming yourself

if you failed a goal before aim for a

smaller goal

avoid heavy learning routines and

piggyback off of your existing daily

routines

if you take a walk then use that time to

listen to audio lessons

and finally use easy learning material

such as our audio and video lessons on

our website

what if you could go from struggling to

speak to speaking with confidence

reviewing is a huge part of achieving

this

in this video you’ll learn six ways our

language learning program helps you

review

number one replay your lessons

if you’re using our language learning

program you can download lessons and

review them at a later date

and since lessons are 3 to 15 minutes

long your preparation and review

sessions won’t take a lot of time

the easiest way to review is to simply

replay past lessons

of course make sure you pay attention

number two

read the lesson notes imagine you’ve

finished reading a big book or watching

a video course

do you remember everything you’ve

learned of course not

when you get a lot of information at one

time it’s normal not to be able to

recall

all of it immediately but you can

refresh your memory by going back to

reread

re-watch and take notes it takes effort

this is why you get lesson notes with

every lesson

these notes give you the lesson in

writing so you can review the

conversation

the vocabulary grammar and cultural

points quickly

number three listen to lines from the

lesson conversation with the dialogue

tool

the dialogue tool is a premium feature

that our users love

because you get line-by-line breakdowns

of conversations

for every line of the conversation you

get audio the transcript

and the translations this tool helps you

master entire conversations

speak faster and improve your listening

you can listen to each line one by one

read along and repeat out loud repeating

out loud will help your speaking skills

and because you can listen as much as

you want you can also use this tool to

work on your listening skills

number four the vocabulary slideshow

with this you can review words and

phrases from a specific lesson

just press play and watch the slideshow

for each word

you’ll hear the native pronunciation

you’ll also get the meaning

the text and translations right there on

the screen you can even put the

slideshow on loot to review as much as

you want

number five practice your speaking

skills with the voice recorder

with the voice recorder tool you can

record yourself and compare your speech

to that of native speakers

this can help you find out where you can

improve your speaking skills

it’s a great way to practice speaking

and perfect your pronunciation

number six review conversations with the

dialogue audio track

the dialogue track gives you just the

conversation it’s purely the target

language

no translations you get it for every

lesson listen to it again

and again until you completely

understand every single word

this is a great way to see how much you

understand and it’s a great language

immersion tactic

want to learn new words and phrases fast

so you can speak and

understand more of your target language

in this video you’ll learn all about

space repetition flash cards

you’ll learn about why this particular

study tool is so useful and how using it

can help keep vocabulary words fresh in

your mind

first here’s what’s new with our

flashcards

you can now access your flashcards on

any mobile device

they’re mobile responsive so visit the

site on any device

iphone ipad android or any tablet

access the flashcards and learn anywhere

anytime

but what if you’re a new language

learner and have never seen this tool

before

second what are spaced repetition

flashcards

what are they and how do space

repetition flashcards teach you words

and phrases better than regular

flashcards

first imagine a regular flash card

imagine a teacher is quizzing you with

paper flashcards

on the front you see the word in the

target language

the meaning of the word is on the other

side your teacher shows you the target

language word

and asks you what the word means if you

get the answer right

your teacher puts the card in a pile of

correct answer cards

if you get the answer wrong your teacher

puts the card in a pile of wrong answer

cards

spaced repetition flashcards are like a

digital version of this

but a computer sorts your answers into

correct answers and wrong answers

and then chooses which cards to quiz you

on accordingly

with a spaced repetition flashcard you

see a word you mark whether you know it

or not

you learn whether you are right or wrong

then you get the next word

but what exactly is spaced repetition

third how spaced repetition works

this is the part of the tool that makes

the flashcard so powerful

if you get a word wrong you’ll see that

card more often

until you get it right the card will

keep popping up

until you remember the answer spaced

repetition flash cards help you focus on

the words you don’t know yet

or the words you’re weak with instead of

asking you to review words you already

know well

if you get a word right you’ll see that

word again in perhaps two days

if you get the word right again after

waiting two days you might see the word

four days later

then 16 days later and so on as you

study and remember words

the flash cards will appear less

frequently this is because you’re

remembering the vocabulary and don’t

need to spend time studying the words

you already know

spaced repetition flashcards help you

study words at the right time

the flashcards will track your progress

this means you don’t have to remember

which words you got right or wrong

the flash parts you are twist on will be

customized to your knowledge level

every time you study and the quizzes

will also help you keep your memory

fresh

remember we don’t learn things simply by

seeing them once

by repeating our studies over a period

of time we remember things better

and the best part is that you can study

translating your teacher can lend you a

hand

or if there is a specific movie or song

you want to consume in your target

language

your teacher can gear your lessons to

help you achieve your goal

being in planes trains and buses can be

an uncomfortable experience for many

people

often there are small cramped seats not

many things to do

and sometimes the experience is even

scary despite this you often see people

working in these environments

how do they do it in this video you’ll

learn three tips to help you be able to

study anywhere

the first one is adjust to your

environment

most of us would probably agree that a

plane or a bus is

not the best place to study these

environments are usually dark and

cramped and you may have a crying baby

next to you

but the point is there’s never a perfect

time or place to learn

the reality is that a lot of us use

transportation every day

we face environments that are typically

considered unsuitable for study

trains get crowded you can’t do much in

your car even in your own home you’ll

get distracted by the tv or facebook or

something

and some days you’ll be sick you’ll be

tired you’ll have dinner plans

once you accept that there’s rarely such

a thing as the perfect time to study

you can start thinking about how to make

the best of the environment you have at

that time

for example if you ride a train you

might stand up for a long time

it might be difficult to focus on a book

in a case like this you can use the

innovative language 101 app to study

listen to the audio lessons or do the

word of the day by email

there are ways that you can learn in

just about any situation

the point is you need to adjust your

study method to your environment

so take a look at your day and see where

your time goes are there any gaps in

between your activities where you feel

like you can’t study

and is there any way you can adjust two

take advantage of your limited time

we’ve surveyed tons of learners over the

years and every year we find that the

number one reason most people don’t

learn a language is they say they have

no time

but there’s a chance you may have some

spare time to study

you might just not recognize it yet

let’s say you commute for 30 minutes

every day

you can ask yourself how do i put these

next 30 minutes to use

or if you finish work at 7 pm and spend

an hour doing nothing

you can think about what you might do in

that hour that will help you work

towards your goals

you don’t have to use all 30 minutes of

your commute or the full hour of your

free time

but you can definitely fit in a short

lesson or take other steps towards your

goals

three have an on and off mindset

when you work it can be really helpful

to have a kind of on off switch for when

it’s time to work and time to rest

you can apply the same idea to your

language studies

when it’s time to study you can focus

solely on that you don’t spend time

thinking about doing it you just do it

it doesn’t matter where you are or what

kind of studying you’re doing

as long as it gets done and when you’re

done with a lesson

reward yourself it can be as simple as

telling yourself

great job when you’re finished with the

time you promised yourself for studies

feel free to focus on the next thing

great work

here’s a reward speed up your language

大家好，欢迎回来问

艾丽西亚每周系列，你问我

问题，我回答他们

也许可以，让我们来回答你

本周的第一个问题，

本周第一个问题来自 mo

adam，你好，mo adam，

mo adam 说如何 我是否表达了非人类的复数

形式，

例如动物或事物，

我应该使用

它是还是它们是啊

使用它们是我假设的这个问题 n

我们说的是可数名词，如果

您使用可数名词，

请使用它们是加上最后带有

s 音的名词，所以我知道我们

可能会将它们与人联系起来，

但实际上我们在使用时也会使用它们

‘正在谈论

对象，所以我们在

谈论

复数对象时不使用它，但是

如果我们谈论不可数

名词，我们将使用它，所以请记住这一点，

如果您使用的是可数名词，请

使用

如果您使用不可数名词，请使用

它，因此让我们看

一些使用复数形式的示例，这些

东西将引入

非人类事物，例如这些

计算机，

它们来自我的公司 不错的鞋子，

它们 ‘是全新的，是的，

我希望我可以住在豪华酒店，

但是

房间太贵了，

所以总而言之，如果

你使用可数名词，请确保

它们是加上你的名词的复数形式，

我希望 这对你有帮助 谢谢你

的问题 好的，我们走吧

关于你的

下一个问题 本周的下一个问题来自 aniko

嗨 aniko

aniko 说你好 alicia，你能

解释一下

for the record 的含义，它何时以及如何

在日常演讲中

使用 好吧，我们用记录来表示

我的官方声明是 或者我的

官方意见是，我们

在发表声明

之前或在我们分享该信息之前将其用于记录，

这里的想法是我们期望

信息将被写下或将

像字面上记录的那样被记录在 记录

所以记录字面上用来指代

我们保存信息的笔记本之类的东西，

所以当我们

说记录时，它的字面意思是这

是我想说的信息

并且已经包含在记录中，所以我们经常使用

它

重新试图澄清，这

意味着

当我们试图澄清

一些有争议的事情，

或者可能存在误解，

或者有麻烦或问题时，试图澄清一些事情 某种

原因，因为信息不是很清楚，

所以我们

说记录一下，发表我们的正式

声明或分享我们

对某事的官方意见

让我们看一些我

想记录的例子，我

认为这是一个

记录在案的糟糕决定 我没有在该测试中作弊，

因此您可能会听到人们喜欢开始

面试，或者您可能会听到人们

开始

像法律情况一样使用“

State your name for the

record”

这句话，这意味着请说出您的名字，以便

我们 可以正式记录它

所以记录只是意味着向我们

提供您

希望被视为官方的信息另一个

相关术语您可能

也会在法律或类似的情况下听到，呃也许

与警察相关或与争议相关的

情况

是表达让记录显示

让 唱片秀

所以让唱片秀通常

由律师或其他

法律专业

人士说，通常是对

写笔记的人说 r 记录的人

喜欢讨论或情况，

他们用它

来表示请在

记录中记下发生的

事情，例如让记录

显示证人拒绝回答

问题，所以用简单的英语

表示请写下来 在

证人拒绝回答问题的记录中，

所以这让记录显示是

一种特定的表达方式，我们

在法律情况下使用的记录

非常相似，尽管您可能还会听到

它在日常讲话

中听起来有点滑稽 如果我们

想让一种

基本的或非常相似的日常观点

听起来有点官方，就像出于

幽默目的听起来很有趣，

有人可能会说出来记录

一下，然后介绍他们的观点，

但在大多数情况下，特别是使用

记录的类似媒体

发表官方声明，

希望对您有所帮助，感谢您提出一个

有趣的问题，

好吧，让我们继续您的下一个问题，

下一个问题

来自 Jung yoon kim 我希望我说的

是对的 hi jungyeon kim

jungyun 说我的一个朋友问我有

什么东西是

不是我

的

'

不是我的，

也不是我的

并且您提到

在这种情况下您正在与您的朋友交谈，所以我可能会说

如果我必须从其中一个中选择它就不是我的，我的

意思是他们都是正确的，他们都

传达了相同的想法，

但如果是 在这种

情况下，我可能会说一些

不同的话 或者

那不可能是我的 就像那些

感觉更直接

，它们有点粗糙，所以

和我的朋友一起

使用这些表达方式感觉很自然，表达方式没有办法

意味着不可能，就像

没有机会那

是我的那样就是那个表达方式

意味着总而言之你可以使用

所有这些我想我可能会

使用没有办法那是我的，或者

那不可能是我的

更直接的东西，然后我

跟进一些证据，比如我在我

家或 去年我把它扔掉了，

所以你可以使用任何

你喜欢的东西，但我建议

你在和朋友交谈时使用更直接的东西，

所以我希望这对你有帮助，谢谢你

的问题让我们继续我们的 下一个

问题

下一个问题来自 alexander hi

alexander

alexander says hi do you

want to do something

you should do something and you need to

do something 意思相同

我听过很多人说 你想做某事

意味着你应该做某事，但我

找不到任何关于

以这种方式使用想要的解释谢谢啊我

猜想这种使用想要

是当人们教别人

如何

做某事时 例如，如果你

第一次向某人展示如何使用软件，你可能会

听到人们在使用你想要这样做你

想要那样做

就像你在教他们

一些东西但有些人

选择使用你 想要喜欢

你

想要做的下一步 这就是这种表达的感觉

这是个人的选择 所以在这种

情况下

是的 当你教某人做某事

并且你就像你在展示 他们

在一个过程中的步骤你可以使用

你想这样做例如

如果我教别人如何编辑

视频我可能会说

首先你想导入视频然后

你想制作一个时间线

然后你想开始选择

要使用的视频部分，

所以我正在使用你想要的 到那里，但您

可以将其替换为

您应该首先导入

视频，然后您应该创建一个时间线，

然后您应该选择视频的各个部分，

所以是的，在那种特定情况下

想要并且应该可以具有相同的

含义，

但通常没有 它们有非常

不同的含义，

就像我们用你想一般地

询问某人对某事的感受，

比如你想稍后去看电影，

或者你想吃点东西

，

就像你在征求某人

对某事提出建议的意见

当你使用时，你应该做

一些事情，这是出于建议的

原因，所以这有点类似于

教某人做某事

然后你关于使用的最后一点你

需要做一些

也可以用来描述

过程中的步骤的事情

是的，但它有 那种

责任感，

所以当我们有义务，

比如我们需要照顾的事情，

比如你今天需要去银行，

就像你告诉别人e一样，我们会使用它 lse

做某事你是在告诉

别人他们的责任，

所以在某些

情况下是

的

这种情况

他们有非常不同的功能和

非常不同的含义

所以我希望这对你有帮助

非常感谢这个问题

好吧让我们继续你的下一个

问题下一个问题来自

jin hi jin jin说

new和newbie有什么区别 我该怎么用这些词

ah nice one 是的 nu 是一个形容词

newbie 指的是一个新的人

，它是一个名词

让我们看几个

例句来比较

我们如何使用这些让我们想象你

刚刚

加入某个团队，例如一项

新运动或某种活动，

您可以

向团队中的人介绍自己，说你好，

我是新人，或者你可以说你好，我是新手

所以在这种情况下使用 hi i’m new 听起来

更自然一些，

因为你是在向你

不认识的人介绍自己所以与新手的交易或

关于新手

的事情是它是一个可爱的词

随意 它很友好 我们

在与我们已经认识的人交谈时使用它，

或者我们在一个我们已经知道的社区

中，因此，嗨，我是新手，

当你说的时候可能听起来有点太友好了

第一次向某人介绍自己

让我们将其与不同

的情况进行比较 通过

说类似

嘿，我是 excel 新手，你能帮助我

吗？或者你可以说，嗯，我是一个 excel 新手

，你能帮助我吗？所以在这种情况下，

要么很好，

但新手听起来有点可爱，

有点友好 更近，

所以新手有费用

友好的感觉有点像你在

一个社区你处于

人们已经知道你是谁的情况下

，你会觉得

使用这个词是可以接受的，

所以这两个句子再次

传达相同的

想法，只是 有点

距离差异，比如

你和听的人之间的距离

比你说我是新

来的要近一些，所以

当你再次在这两个词之间进行选择时，你可以考虑

一下 nu 是一个形容词

hi i ’m new and newbie 是名词 嗨，

我是新手，所以我希望这可以帮助

您多加一点，您可能还会看到

noo，

例如数字零零和 b noob，

所以 noob 是一个更随意的词

，非常常用

在线和视频游戏中，这意味着

有人对这种情况

不熟悉，但也不是很了解

，他们有点烦人，或者他们

会妨碍

你，所以你可能会听到人们以这种方式使用 noob，

有些人我自己 包括也喜欢

用 noob in 一种自我贬低的

方式

所以自我贬低意味着你用它来

让自己看起来有点低

所以当你想表达

你对某事不熟悉并且不是很好时

你可以说我是一个菜鸟所以又是 一个

名词，就像新手一样，

所以还有一些额外的点我希望

这对你有帮助谢谢你的一个

有趣的问题

大家好，我的名字是艾丽西亚在这

节课我要谈谈连接

动词让我们

先开始让我们开始什么是 一个连接动词

有两点我想首先介绍

一个连接

动词是一个

可以

链接到其他动词的动词，所以当我们使用连接动词时，我们可以

将第二个动词连接到第一个连接

动词 连接动词

后面的动词可以采用 两种

形式

首先它可以采用不定式形式

，

即加动词，

也可以采用不定式形式

，

稍后我将向您展示一些示例，

第二种形式可以

采用动名词形式，即ing

结尾形式 动词，所以我们在造这些句子时使用连接

动词加不定式或连接

动词加

动名词，

这就像我们从动词开始，

然后我们的链接动词在后面

，所以第一个动词是连接动词

让我们来看看一些

例句 then

first one she should stop

smoke here 我的连接动词是红色的所以

stop 是我的

连接动词它连接到吸烟所以

吸烟以 ing 形式在这里

吸烟所以这是

我们从这里开始的连接动词 我们在这里将它与

this 连接 ing

形成另一个带有 ing

形式的例子 gerund 形式 请开始

写作 所以 start 是我的串联动词

它链接到下一个东西 写作

是第二个动词 我们用来

跟随它的动词 所以这是 ing 形式

让我们再看两个 在这里

使用不定式的例子

我们想建造

一座房子所以这是我

的连接动词这里的第一个动词然后我跟在它后面

有两个构建所以

两个并一起构建这是

不定式 形式

我需要在这里使用两个我们要建造

一所房子第二他

需要买一套西装我的猫需要一个本地动词

我有这个在这里我需要

共轭动词因为我的主题是

他

他需要买一个 适合

所以根据句子我们需要

选择不定式

或动名词形式

我用这个标记标记了这个例子，因为

这是

使用动名词

形式或不定式

实际上可以改变句子含义的一些情况的例子

例如，如果我说她应该停止

吸烟，

这意味着她应该停止她的活动

来吸烟，就像抽烟一样，这

句话的意思是

她应该停止吸烟，这意味着

她应该

在她的生活中完全停止吸烟的活动，所以请注意

在某些情况下，

动名词和不定式有不同的

含义

，没有那么多，但有一些

所以尽量记住这一点

，这

是你在阅读和阅读时需要记住的东西 十个

所以基于上下文真的很好

所以现在我想继续

更

深入的话题 对

这个主题更深入一点

复杂的连接词 如此复杂的连接

动词 这些是带

对象的连接动词

所以我有一些例句

再一次，连接动词是红色的

，对象是蓝色的，

你会帮我打扫房间吗，

所以我的连接动词是帮助我的

对象是我，然后我的连接动词是

干净的，所以干净，你会注意到

没有

两个 这是一个例子，就像我在这里提到的

，有时我们在不定式之前不使用两个，

所以在这种情况下我们不使用它，它

只是一个普通的不定式，

你能帮我打扫房间吗，所以

这是我的牛本地人，我把它

拴在 clean with an object 所以这是一个

复杂的连接词

另一个例子他们要求我们移动

我们的包他们要求我们移动我们的包

所以

这是我的动词我的连接

动词在这种情况下问过去时我的对象

所以我们是接收方

所以 他们让我们把行李搬到这里我

有不定式形式再次移动

在这种情况下我有两个包括

在这里

好吧嗯还有一些例子她想让

他们拍照这是我的串联

动词

在这种情况下想要想要因为我的

主题是她

我反对他们再次采取我这里

有不定式

她希望他们拍照

最后他带我再次申请贷款

我的连接动词用过去时

反对我我又有不定式

可以单独申请

所以你 会看到这些不同类型的连接

动词相关结构如此

复杂的连接是指

这些具有对象的模式

所以我们什么时候使用这种东西我们

实际上在演讲中经常使用它特别是当

我们只是随便谈论

我们需要的东西时

我们可以

用这种方式把动词连在一起来造长句

这是一个简单的例子，我们去

租一辆汽车

来帮助我们的朋友搬到新

公寓，

所以这可能有点麻烦 不尴尬，

但母语人士

可能会说我们只是说得

很快，

但让我们把这个句子分解一下，所以我们

去

这里是我的过去时，我们去得到所以

这里是一个连接动词，

我们去租一辆汽车，所以我的

这里的连接动词是不定式

来帮助所以这里是另一个连接动词

在这种情况下它很复杂所以帮助我们的

朋友所以

我们帮助了谁我们帮助我们的朋友搬家所以这是我的

连接动词

搬到新公寓所以我们

可以 将很多

想法与这样的东西联系在一起，

所以当我们快速说话时，母语人士也

可能不会做出

完美的句子，或者我们不会做出

完整的句子，

但我们使用这种说话方式我们使用

这种

动词 链接以产生更长的想法和

更长的句子，

所以我希望这

对您有所

帮助 gle搜索以查看连接动词的一些列表和

更多例句，

因为有很多

嗯，但我们

只是根据情况将它们放在一起，这

取决于我们

想要与任何其他语法点进行交流的内容，

所以我 希望您

对此进行一些练习，并

在阅读时注意这一点，以

查看

使用

这种语法的常见配对类型，

所以

如果您有任何问题或意见，或者如果您有任何问题或意见，我当然希望这对您有所帮助

你想练习

用连接动词制作例句，

请随时在

本视频的评论部分中这样做

大家好，我的名字是 alicia 在

本课中我将讨论如何

使用

a 和 the 以及

何时使用 no 文章所以让我们

开始好吧首先我想先

谈谈使用

a 和 an 这些

是我们在

英语中使用的关于发音的不定冠词你

可能会听到人们使用

a 或 a 你可以选择 e 无论你喜欢哪个，

它们都是正确的，所以我们使用

不定冠词

uh 或 an 当我们想要介绍

一个名词时，这意味着这是我们第一次

使用这个名词，就像我们在讲

故事时一样，

所以我们第一次 介绍

我们使用

a 或 an 的名词

所以我们使用 a 如果后面的名词

以辅音开头

辅音 这个 f 是辅音，

所以如果下一个词如果

后面的名词

以辅音开头，我们应该

使用

uh 不定冠词，那么

当后面的名词以元音开头时，我们使用 an，

所以这里的一些例子是 apple so here 我们有 a 作为我们的

元音 我们使用

an apple an egg

听到 e 音然后一个

小时所以这里这是一个

元音所以这是这个音符的一个很好的例子

我想提一下

声音不等于拼写

所以我 当下面的名词

b说 egins 带元音的我们

在这里使用 an 是的，我们有辅音

h 开始这个词，但它在

一个小时小时发出元音，

所以就像 h 不会发出

那个 h

声音，所以一个小时我们使用这个不定

冠词

an 而不是 呃，所以请小心

，在这种情况下，我们正在听一个声音而不是

拼写

，好吧，那么你可以看到，

我们

只在单数形式的名词前使用不定冠词

，例如，你看不到 s 在

结尾 这些词

我们只能使用单数形式，所以当您使用不定冠词时

，仅表示单数形式中的一个，

所以使用不定冠词的一个非常简单的

例句

是

我有一只狗，我们可以用这个开始一个故事

我得到

一只狗 所以狗是单数的

我养了一只狗 这是一只新

狗 我们用 the 来指代

一个已知的或 一个特定的名词，

所以这可以是我们

直接解释的东西，

或者我们只是从上下文中理解它，

因此与这一点相关，

我们从上下文中理解的东西或一个特定的

名词，这可能是当只有

一个东西时，这是一个很好的

例子 是一些

国家，例如美利坚合众国

或某某共和国，

那些以 the 开头，所以只有

一个，我们知道

我们使用这种情况，它

就像标题一样，

所以我们用它来 谈论

我们知道

的事情，例如我们在

谈话中或故事中早些时候听到的事情，

或者当我们知道名词是什么时，

我们可以在单数或

复数形式的名词之前使用它，所以这是一个

例子，

我养了一只狗 我们在我养狗之前看到的我在这里为

狗买了一张床

我

用过因为在这句话中

我提到了这只狗这

句话

中的狗是我买的狗或者我

在第一句话中得到的狗所以我

我在这里介绍它 我有一只狗

这是我的介绍性陈述 这

是我的完整句子

这是这个新信息 这个新

名词 我在下一句中得到了一只狗

我想提到

这只狗

我用 来描述我买了

一张床

对于狗，你也会注意到这里

我介绍了另一个新事物

在前面的句子中好吧，

所以这是使用

定冠词的介绍

现在让我们看看什么时候不使用冠词

所以

不，不，不，

我们在

泛指一组或所有实例（如所有

种类或所有类型）时使用无冠词 例如，

当我们

谈论我们喜欢

或不喜欢的事物时，我们经常使用它所以

我们使用名词的复数形式我们

不使用单数形式我们需要

使用复数形式

一个非常简单的例子是 我喜欢我喜欢的

狗

gs 所以你会在这里看到 我使用

了复数形式的

狗 所以说我喜欢狗

这意味着我喜欢所有的例子 我

喜欢

所有不同种类的

狗 我喜欢

狗 好的所以让我们

继续 我准备的一个短篇故事例子，

所以这个例子包括

不定冠词的使用，定冠词

和我们看不到冠词的情况

有几点我想谈谈

所以让我们看看上周末我

乘公共汽车去 我附近的一个公园

我在公园里走了一圈然后我找到

了一个坐下来放松的地方我看书

拍照并喜欢

看公园里的人但是我被虫子咬了

我讨厌蚊子所以这是一个非常

简单的

关于最近发生的事情的故事

这是一个过去时的故事

它有不定

冠词和没有冠词

所以让我们看看上周末我坐

了

一辆公共汽车所以我要介绍一辆公共汽车这是

我解释的第一个案例 巴士在我的故事

中 我乘公共汽车

到我附近的一个公园 所以我附近的

一个公园 这意味着

附近可能还有

其他公园 我想

特别谈谈我附近的一个公园

我在公园里走来走去 所以在这里我使用

提到我在故事前面介绍的

这个公园 我在公园里逛了一圈 我

之前谈到的这个公园

然后找到了一个可以坐下来放松的地方

所以我的下一步是找一个

地方

所以我在这里使用 因为

这个地方 只是任何一个地方 我只是

选择了一个特定的地方坐下来

放松 这可能是我想

谈论的任何地方 一个特别

好的 然后我说我读了一本书 所以

我再次使用 uh here 来介绍这个 所以我

在

我想把我的书介绍给这个故事之前还没有谈过这本书

我读了一本书

拍了照片 所以这里没有

你会注意到

拍

了很多照片我会说我拍

了我拍的照片

照片，我喜欢

看公园里的人，所以我

认为

在公园里很清楚，所以我说的

是我参观过的具体公园，

但是我在括号中包括了

观察公园里的

人我为什么要 这样做，所以在某些

情况

下使用 the 是

正确的，而使用 no

article 是正确的 这是一个例子，这里

喜欢看公园里的

人，喜欢看公园里的

人，这两个句子都是正确的，

实际上

并没有 这里的含义有所不同，

因为

我在这里包含了一个位置，例如，如果我

说

我喜欢看人，我可能会

因为听众而感到困惑，例如

您在看哪些人，所以说

在公园看人表明这

只是关于 公园里的人，

如果我想更具体并

特别强调，

我可以包括在这里看着

公园里的人，这是我

把注意力集中在我身上的事情 在公园里，

所以你可以选择包含它 你可以

选择不包含它 他们

传达同样的事情，但这

是一个

例子，你可以使用，你可以

使用文章，或者你可以选择

不接受 最后一句话，

但我被虫子咬了，

虫子，所以

我的故事中又有新的东西，在这种情况下，

虫子

被虫子咬了，然后我用这个表达结束，我讨厌蚊子，所以蚊子是

那些咬你的小虫子，它得到了

真的很痒蚊子，

但我做一个一般性声明所有

蚊子我

讨厌蚊子可能是因为它们咬

所以

我使用复数形式我讨厌

蚊子没有文章我讨厌蚊子

所以这是一个

情况

或故事的简单例子你 将使用明确的

不定冠词和无

冠词来解释

发生在你身上的事情，

所以我希望这节课能给你一个

很好的介绍，让你

了解如何以及何时使用 uh

和无冠词，但是如果大家好，我的

名字是 alicia

in th 是课我要讲

一些表达你可以

用来谈论你的家乡或你的家乡或者你的

家乡让我们开始吧好吧

我要谈论的第一句话或第一个表达

只是一个基本的

介绍 我来自所以我来自

你的城市或者我来自你的国家

请小心

我已经

注意到我们制作的视频的评论部分，例如

你们中的许多人介绍自己但你

忘记了

我 from i’m from 我经常看到

错误

i from which 是不正确的，所以这是不

正确的，我们应该使用

i’ from remember i’m is the contracted

the reduction form of

i am i am from city i am from

country 所以请不要 不要忘记这个，嗯，

我来自一个城市，

当我们用这个造句时，我们

可以说我来自

越南，代表一个国家，我来自越南

或来自一个城市，我来自曼谷，所以你

可以选择 您的城市或

国家/地区都可以使用，

因此如果您想选择

不同的东西 或者如果你想

更详细地解释一下，你

可以使用这样的表达

我出生在一个城市

或一个特定的国家我出生

在另一个错误中我看到的学生

是他们忘记了这是我经常看到的

评论 说

我出生在哪个不正确我

出生在城市或国家

我出生在巴西的

国家

我出生在柬埔寨所以你当然可以在这里使用

你的国家名称

如果你想使用一个城市

例如我 出生在曼谷

，您想提供更多信息，

可能出于某种原因，与您交谈的人

不知道那个城市，或者它是一个

非常小的城市，

您可以说它在乡村，

例如

我出生在曼谷，它是 在泰国，

所以你可以用这个表达来解释国家作为

后续

，它在你的城市在哪里，

在这种情况下它在泰国，

那么如果你想分享一些

关于你家乡的信息，

这些是你可以的表达

用来做 t 这些非常开放，所以我

希望你能找到对你有帮助的东西

第一个是

它有很多名词短语 这里有很多名词短语

这意味着你的城市或你的国家

也许最好谈谈你的

城市 在这里，

如果你住在一个非常小的

城市，也许你可以分享你的

国家，也许你的国家也很小，

所以如果你介绍你的城市或你的国家，分享一些可能很容易理解的东西是很好的，

这样你就可以说出来 有很多

东西所以一些

例子是它有很多交通比如如果

你的城市有很多交通你可以

提到

它有很多好吃的食物或者它有

很多

自然所以有一些简单的

名词 短语

here，您可以用来描述

您所在城市的事物

请注意我们使用has it

has the city has so not is

we use is for adjectives we

are using here 因为这些是名词短语，

所以您可以说它是繁忙的城市

或 例如，这是一个多风的城市

但是当你使用名词短语时，你

需要在这里改变你的动词

它有很多交通它有很多

自然

所以请注意这一点

让我们进入下一个

点 文化 每个城市或每个

国家可能都有一些

特定的东西，那个城市真的

很出名

你可以用这个表达来描述

它再次出名的东西 它是你的城市

或你的国家 它以

某物而闻名 所以再次有一些名词

短语

一些可能是活动一些著名的项目

，例如它以

辛辣食物而闻名，例如我的国家以辛辣

食物而

闻名，或者它以娱乐或夜生活而闻名，

也许想想你所在城市的知名事物，

例如拉斯维加斯，也许它是

以娱乐而闻名 这

是我们可以说的关于美国拉斯维加斯的事情

好吧 另一个你可以使用的表达方式

非常相似

您可以使用的句子或两个表达方式

there is or there a lot of

things 所以有或减少了他们的

或有很多东西 所以这

是一种不同的表达

方式 非常相似 让我们看看

这里的一些例子 这是 有点负面，

但

有很多犯罪，所以也许你的家乡

相当危险，你想

谈谈，

你可以说有很多犯罪

犯罪就像违法的活动或行为，

它们是非法的，所以 描述你

可以说

我的家乡有很多犯罪，或者

你的城市有很多动物可能

与自然密切相关

你可以说有很多动物

所以要小心

这里有很多犯罪 嗯，所以

犯罪是一个大众名词或复数

名词，

所以我们可以使用这是形式，但是

当我们有的时候，我们需要

在词尾使用这个s，

有很多动物，复数形式

有a 很多动物，所以只是 请

注意，

如果您使用 um 是一个单数名词，或者

您使用这个像复数或质量

名词

一样，最后没有 s，您可以使用

这是形式

如果您使用的是复数名词，

那很好，

所以有 很多动物 好吧 让我们

继续下一个

晚上，例如拉斯维加斯，

很多人喜欢晚上出去，

或者很多人喜欢做户外

运动，

所以你会注意到我在这里有一个动词，

很多人喜欢动词

，然后是一些其他信息 告诉

我们

很多人喜欢在河里游泳的

东西，

这就像一种独特的活动，

或者

对你的城市特别有趣

当然可以说我的家乡

很小 y 家乡真的

很大 你可以这样说 是的

如果你想给出具体的数字

可以用多少人 这个表达 人口

是指你所在城市

的人口数 或者

你所在国家的人口数 所以人口 是

，然后加上

人口大约

20 000 人或大约

150 000 人的数字

我在括号里有 people

因为

我们真的不需要使用它，但你

可能会听到

人们在这个表达的末尾说 people we

don 不需要在这里包括

人，因为我们有人口

我们知道

人口意味着人数

虽然有时我们包括这个

你不需要真的

人口大约两万

是完美的好吧让我们继续最后

几点 我在这里标记的最后几点是

关于天气的，

所以当你谈论你的家乡时，一个非常常见的话题

是

天气，

这些是你可以用来谈论天气的一些表达方式

就像在你的

家乡

例如下雨很多 下雨很多

或者你可以说下雨很大

很干燥 你可能会说

例如夏天

很干燥 或者冬天很干燥

所以这里指的是天气

模式 下雨 很多

它很干燥 另一个

天气全年晴朗 所以这是一个词

或连字符的词 全年 这

意味着

全年如此不间断

天气

全年晴朗 另一个好词要知道

潮湿 它很潮湿 所以 这是

一个很好的例子，比如一个

热带地区，

一个热带城市或一个热带

国家，所以

也许温度有时不那么热

，

但

空气中的水分含量非常

高，所以我们称之为潮湿。 潮湿

，非常潮湿，

您可能还会听到“闷热”这个词

在这里你可以用其他词替换这个词下雨

例如下

很多雪 例如下很多雨下雪很多 也许它

来自你来自的地方

冰雹就像一个冰球所以当你

想谈论降水时像

来自云的东西

你可以使用这个模式，所以

这只是对一些事情的快速介绍

，我希望

在你尝试向其他人解释你的

家乡或你的国家时对

你有所帮助

想知道怎么说，或者如果你有

任何问题

或意见，或者如果你想

练习介绍你的家乡，

其他一些可以帮助

你学习英语的东西，

好的，大家好，欢迎回来

知道你的动词我的名字 是 alicia，在

本课中，我们将

讨论动词

jam

让我们开始吧 让我们从

这个动词的基本定义开始 jam 的基本定义

是导致某事被阻塞

导致某事被阻塞

示例

我卡住了 打印机不知何故我们

用纸卡住了碎纸机

现在让我们看看

这个动词的变位

现在卡住卡住

通过卡住过去分词

卡住渐进式卡住

现在让我们谈谈

这个动词的一些附加含义第一个

附加含义

是推动或迫使某物进入

空间

他把自己

塞到拥挤的火车上

的例子搬家公司正在把箱子塞进

卡车

所以在这里我们看到某人或

某物

被推入或被迫进入某物的例子，

这就像某物很难

进入，或者可能没有足够的

空间

在第一个例子中我们 看到他把

自己

推上了一辆挤满了人的火车，这意味着

火车上

已经坐满了人，但他推

着自己 如果

他在第二个例句中为了上火车而强行推动，

我们看到

它指的

是搬家公司将箱子

塞进卡车的箱子，这

意味着卡车中可能没有太多空间

但是他需要他 或者她搬家的

人

需要把这些盒子放进去，所以他们会

用力推动我们用

果酱来谈论那个来描述那个

行为好吧让我们继续

这个动词

的第二个附加含义第二个附加含义是非正式地播放

音乐

或者在小组中即兴演奏音乐

示例小组即兴演奏每月几次，

我认为邻居又在即兴演奏，

所以这种

果酱的用法是指在一群人中练习音乐或

演奏音乐

，所以有

一群人通常使用不同的乐器

和 没有特别的歌曲

没有类似的

目标 他们只是一起创作音乐

所以你可能听说过这叫做

jam session

实际上对我来说听起来有点奇怪

如果你自己不是音乐家，那么使用 jam 这个词

对我来说说他们在即兴演奏让我感觉很奇怪，

因为我不是那种

使用这个词的人，

但从音乐家那里听起来可能更自然，

所以如果 你是一个音乐家，你喜欢

与人即兴创作音乐

你可以很自然地使用这个词

来谈论你的练习，

所以这只是练习它只是

一种享受和感受音乐

它并不是真正有目标地演奏 请

记住，

您正在即兴创作，因此您

也可以在一般意义上使用它来

谈论其他享受音乐的方式，

例如跳舞

，甚至只是享受音乐以及

稍微移动您的头，

我们有时会使用“果酱”一词来

意思就像

即兴创作和以某种方式享受音乐，

嗯，这是与这个意思相关的另一种方式

，我们有时可以使用 jam 这个动词的第三个

附加含义

是使身体的一部分成为

小腿

以某种方式受伤或受伤 通常被压碎的例子

我的朋友几年前把手指卡在门

上 我把脚趾

卡在床上 好吧 所以在这些情况下卡住 通常

是指某种类似挤压的

动作或

类似的硬冲击 像这样 所以

在第一个例句中，

我的朋友几年前把手指卡在门

里，

这意味着在敞开的门里，所以也许

有门

，门和墙之间的空间

这个人的手指

进入了这两者之间，门关上了

这是

我们何时使用

果酱的完美示例 这实际上发生在我的朋友

身上 这是真的 他的手指被卡在门上 所以这种挤压

动作 这种挤压伤害

我们用果酱来指代我们也可以

用它来指代其他 一种类似的

小

伤，通常是喜欢手指和

脚趾，如第二个例句中的

i jammed my toe on my bed，指的是

喜欢

靠在坚硬的物体上

或者你卡住你的

手指或者你把你的脚趾卡到

桌子

、沙发或床之类的东西上，这很

痛苦，感觉就像你只是

用力把它推到那个物体上，我们

可以说

卡住了我们在这种情况下使用的另一个动词

是 stub i stubbed my toe

but you can say jammed or stub 这

取决于你喜欢什么

人们都用这两个好吧让我们继续

下一个附加

含义下一个附加含义是

干扰广播

干扰广播让我们来看一些

例句

他们干扰了我们的信号 来自卫星的信号被干扰了，

所以

这意味着某物或某人或某种

类似机器或数据或某物正在

阻塞某些信号，因此这可能

像卫星电视之类的 wi-fi 信号一样阻塞

无线电信号 某

事导致信号

中断 广播中断 那里有

一些问题，

所以我们用堵塞这个词来谈论

这个你会

在间谍和警察等中看到很多 nd

与技术相关的悬疑电影，

比如你可以干扰敌人的信号，

他们无法获得任何通信

，

例如，你阻止某人的通信，或者

你阻止某人广播信息的能力，

我们用干扰来指代，

好吧，现在让我们看一个

这个动词的

变体 这个变体是

to jam on the brakes to jam on the brake 非常具体

这个表达的意思是快速

并

用力地推动车辆的制动器

例如

他在孩子踩到马路时踩到了刹车

卡住刹车，所以卡住

刹车或卡住刹车通常

就像一个非常

快速和非常不舒服的

动作，非常不舒服，就像实际结果一样，

所以你踩刹车，汽车

很快就会停下来，汽车会

非常快速地猛拉，所以 车内的人会

感到不舒服

，这可能对汽车的制动系统不利，也可能会损坏车内的

物品，

因此通常被认为是 n

这样做不是一件好事，

因此通常不建议

卡住刹车，

您会听到卡住刹车的声音，也会

卡住刹车，它们

都在使用中，因此您可以选择自己

喜欢的它们具有相同的

含义，好吧，这些都是

使用动词 jam 的几种不同方式

我当然希望你找到新

的东西如果你有问题评论

或其他使用 jam 这个词的方式

请在这个视频的评论部分告诉我们

大家好我是 gabriella 您在本视频中的

英语听力水平如何

账户

你推荐哪家银行好

取决于 s 关于您要查找的内容

，例如，银行 a 和银行 b 都有

很多地点和自动取款机可供选择

，

这非常方便，但银行 a

对每笔交易收取自动取款机费用，

银行 b 允许我在期间免费使用他们的自动取款机

工作日的营业时间确实如此 说到 atm 费用 银行 c

从不收取费用，但他们没有

那么多好的 atm 位置

，但我不喜欢这样一个事实

，即在银行 c 上找到 atm 会更困难

当谈到高利率时，银行 d 是最好的

方式，但我只打算用

这个银行账户来赚钱，我

将从我的兼职工作

中赚到钱，不会那么多，那么你应该

选择 拥有最方便的自动取款机

好的，谢谢您的建议

女人会选择哪家银行

男人和女人正在谈论

银行

女人会选择哪家银行

我正在开始一份兼职工作，所以 我正在

账户

wh 你推荐的银行好不好这

取决于你在寻找什么

例如银行a和银行b都有

很多地点和atm可供选择

这非常方便但是银行a

对每笔交易收取atm费用

银行b允许我 在工作日的营业时间内免费使用他们的自动

取款机，这是真的说到自动取款机费用，银行 c

从不收取费用，但他们没有

那么多

很好的自动取款机位置，但我不喜欢这样一个事实

，那就是更难

找到银行 c 的自动

取款

机 就是这么多，那么你应该

选择最方便的自动取款机和最低费用的银行，

谢谢你的建议，

跳入今天的话题

如何在语言

学习失败后

重回正轨那么你如何在

语言学习失败后重回正轨

回想你的学生时代你有

没有 错过

了我们大多数人的家庭作业，您是否必须补上

并做下一个

您必须加倍工作所以

如果您错过了一个目标，您可能

会想要做同样的事情

完成您的旧 目标并实现一个新目标，

但是这可能不是

一个好主意 目标失败后要记住的一个关键点

是不要再次设定相同的目标

让我们解释一下为什么如果你在

很有可能之前没有实现目标 在这种情况下，目标

可能对你来说太过分了，

你想要一个更简单的目标，

你需要给自己一个成功的机会

，如果这需要设定一个

你实际上可以达到的超级简单的目标，

那就这样做吧

，例如，如果你 试图

学习 100 个单词 一个月但失败了，

但你想再试一次，

在尝试和再次失败 100 字

目标或达到更小的 20 字

目标之间选择更小的东西，比如 20 字

，20 字的

目标会更好 你有动力

去实现一个超级简单的目标，

而不是连续多次失败

它会让你重新开始

学习语言

，因为你知道如何回到

正轨这里是一些你可以回想一下的步骤

你设定但

失败的语言目标是去年的新年

决心

，是我

只想流利还是我想说这种

语言

你可以在评论中告诉我们你的旧目标是什么

两个目标是更小更多

考虑到最后一个目标的现实目标 想想

你如何制定一个

更容易的新目标 记住你的目标应该

永远是

一个小的两个可衡量的，例如一

分钟的对话

100 个单词 10 语法规则 10 课

等

，三个有 一个有截止日期的小时间框架

，换句话说，它是一周

或一个月的目标，截止日期是

1 月 31 日，

例如，如果你失败的目标是流利地说，那么就

为更小

的目标设定一个目标，比如我想说话 本月一

分钟，

或者我希望能够在

本周末之前介绍自己，

或者我想在本周末之前掌握字母表

并为自己安排一个截止日期

所有这些目标都是小的，

可衡量的，具体且易于实现

如果你学会了

字母表或

学会了如何用你正在学习的语言说我的名字，那么你会很容易知道你是否已经达到了一分钟的发言

时间，

所以现在你有一个目标三

找到适合的方法 将语言学习融入

您的生活，

而不是创建新的例程，如果您早上已经花 10 分钟做家务，

您可能难以坚持

现有的例程工作

如果您早上已经花 10 分钟

做家务，您可以听

一堂课并学习一点

如果你散步，你可以听一

堂课，如果你晚上看 youtube 一个

小时，你可以花五

到十分钟看我们的一

堂课

捎带你现有的

日常生活是介绍语言的最简单方法

学习进入你的生活

好的，现在让我们谈谈学习

材料

四 使用简单的

学习材料

重新回到正轨 重新开始学习的简单方法是使用

我们的音频和视频课程，

你所要做的就是点击播放并

跟随，如果你有你 可以

多任务

，例如，正如我们提到的，你可以

做家务和倾听，

采取这样的步骤可以帮助你

养成学习习惯

经历它，特别是

如果你不习惯学习一门

语言

最后你可以做的另一件非常简单的事情

是利用我们每天

的每日课程 每天教你

一个新单词的

电子邮件 这些电子邮件的目标是让你

习惯学习并创建一个简单的

例程，

如果你能坚持每天花一

分钟快速学习一个新单词，

那么你几乎可以坚持

其他

例行程序 总结一下，我们经常失败并放弃

我们的目标，因为

无论是不切实际的目标，

繁重的例行程序还是复杂的资源，

您都想要做相反的

事情，

如果您在追求较小的目标之前未能实现目标，请避免压倒自己

如果您散步，请避免繁重的学习程序和捎带您现有的日常生活，然后利用这段时间

听音频课程

，最后使用简单的学习材料，

想象一个茶壶 她正在用纸质抽认

卡在前面对你进行测验 你看到

目标语言

中的单词 单词的意思在另

一边 你的老师向你展示目标

语言单词

并询问你这个单词的含义，如果你

得到正确的答案

老师把卡片放在一堆

正确答案卡中

回答

，然后选择用间隔重复抽认卡相应地测验你的

卡片 你

看到一个单词 你标记你是否知道

你知道你是对还是错

然后你得到下一个单词

但是间隔重复到底是什么

第三个如何 间隔重复有效

这是使抽认卡如此强大的工具的一部分，

如果你写错了一个单词，你会

更频繁地看到那张卡片，

直到你把它弄对了卡片 会

不断弹出，

直到你记住答案 间隔

重复的闪存卡帮助你专注于

你还不知道的单词或你不擅长

的单词，而不是

让你复习你已经

熟悉

的单词，如果你猜对了一个单词 你可能会

这个词 如果你在等待两天后再次正确地

看到这个词你可能会在四天后看到这个词

然后 16 天后等等，当你

频繁地出现 这是因为您正在

记住词汇，并且

不需要花时间学习

您已经知道的单词

所以如果你在去上班的火车或公共汽车上

你可以把这段时间用来

拿出手机，每天花几分钟学习新单词，

这将

帮助你快速学习新单词

目标 在飞机上乘坐火车和公共汽车

对许多人来说可能是一种不舒服的体验

经常有狭小的座位，没有

多少事情可做

，有时体验甚至

令人恐惧，尽管如此你经常看到人们

在这些环境中工作

他们是如何做到的在这个视频中你将

学习三个技巧来帮助你能够在

任何地方学习

第一个是适应你的

环境

我们大多数人可能会同意

飞机或公共汽车

不是学习的最佳场所 这些

环境通常是黑暗和

狭窄的，你旁边可能有一个哭闹的婴儿

，

但关键是从来没有 了解现实的最佳

时间或地点

是我们中的许多人

每天都在使用交通工具

我们面临通常

被认为不适合学习的环境

火车变得拥挤 你可以

即使在你自己的家里也不会在你的车里做太多事情 你会

被电视或脸书之类的东西分散注意力

有时你会生病 你会

很累

一旦你接受很少有这样的事情你就会有晚餐计划

作为学习的最佳时间

你可以开始思考如何

充分利用你当时的环境

例如如果你坐火车 你

可能会站很

长时间 可能很难专注于一本书

在这种情况下，您可以使用

创新的语言 101 应用程序来学习

听音频课程或

通过电子邮件做每日单词

您可以在几乎任何情况下学习，

关键是您需要调整

学习 方法来适应你的环境，

所以看看你的一天，看看

你的时间都花在了

哪里你

觉得你不能学习的活动

之间是否有任何差距，你有什么办法可以调整两个

利用你有限的时间

我们 已经调查了大量的学习者

年复一年，我们发现

大多数人不

学习一门语言的首要原因是他们说他们

没有时间，

但你可能有一些

空闲时间学习

你可能只是不认识它但

假设你通勤 每天花 30 分钟，

你可以问问自己，我该

如何利用接下来的 30 分钟，

或者如果你在晚上 7 点完成工作，然后花

一个小时无所事事，

你可以想一想在那一小时内你可能会做什么

，这将有助于你

朝着你的目标努力 目标

您不必使用全部 30 分钟

的通勤时间或整小时的

空闲时间，

但您绝对可以参加简短的

课程或采取其他步骤实现您的

目标

三

在工作时有断断续续的心态 在工作和休息时间

有一种开关真的很有帮助

你可以在学习的时候将同样的想法应用到你的

语言

学习中 你可以

只专注于你不花时间

思考的事情 做你就做

无论您身在何处或

正在做什么类型的学习

，只要完成

它就可以

了

您承诺的学习时间

随时专注于下一件事

出色的工作
