last time we talked about American

supermarkets and how they're unique this

time we're going to look at how much it

actually costs to live in New York City

when you think about America perhaps one

of the first things that might come to

mind is the bright lights and the fast

pace of the big city for sure in New

York City everyone who visits wants to

go to the big tourist locations Central

Park Times Square the Statue of Liberty

but how much does it actually cost to

live there in this video we're going to

talk about the actual living costs of

New York City let's start with the most

basic thing you need to live in New York

an apartment without an apartment you

can't really say you live in New York

City but if you want to live in the city

you should be prepared to live in a

small space more than half of the

apartments in New York City are 700

square feet or smaller that's about 65

square meters this could be for a studio

apartment which has no walls between the

kitchen and the bedroom or it could be a

one-bedroom apartment which does have a

separate bedroom these kinds of places

cost on average 1890 dollars or two

thousand one hundred dollars

respectively so expect to pay a pretty

high price if you want to live in the

city but keep in mind that a separate

payment is required for heat and water

in your apartment for an average

apartment about 915 square feet in New

York City about $145 is required for

utility bills

this covers heating electricity water

and garbage for Internet and phone

however that's a totally separate

payment one of the best things about

living in New York City is how

convenient things are if you walk down

the street you can quickly find a coffee

shop a bookstore or a supermarket

because of this people who live there

rarely have cars it's quite expensive to

keep one in the city instead people use

public transportation like buses or the

subway for a monthly transit pass you

can expect to pay about 120 dollars and

if you want to use a taxi fares start at

two dollars and fifty cents New York

City is known for its wide variety of

delicious restaurants you can find food

from all over the world you can get

anything

from a food cart hot dog to an expensive

steak dinner in New York City

because of this wide variety however

it's hard to determine a specific

average for a meal with living in New

York City you can imagine going to

concerts shows baseball games and so on

but the cost of these can get pretty

pricey if you want to see the latest

film in New York City you can expect to

pay about $15 per ticket if you want to

do something a little more exciting and

check out a Yankees baseball game for

example it'll cost you about $50 a

ticket and if you want to check out

Broadway and see one of the latest shows

you can expect to pay about a couple

hundred dollars for the best seats there

are lots of ways to determine the cost

of living in New York City but these are

just a couple important aspects so how

does New York City compared to big

cities in your country what are some

things that are different and what else

would you like to know about American

culture let us know in the comments hi

everybody my name is Alicia in this

lesson I'm going to talk about formal

request patterns these are a few

different patterns that you can use when

you're making formal requests so these

are great for business emails and other

situations where you need to politely

ask for something I'm going to introduce

the patterns and then I'm going to share

a couple of examples as well these are

not the only patterns you can use

they're just a few ideas to help you get

started so let's take a look okay first

one let's begin with the first one

you'll see some of these patterns today

we'll use the word wood at the beginning

remember we can use wood as a common

word to begin a request so the first

example includes this would you be so

kind as to something another thing

you'll see in many of these examples is

the word - before kind of the extra

information portion this is a great hint

that we should follow this part with

some kind of verb so - plus the

infinitive form of over we'll see a lot

of examples of this so the first one

I've included be so kind as to do

something so this is making a request

and this part be so kind as to

that the speaker is asking for the

kindness of the listener or the reader

in doing this action which we're about

to describe so let's look at an example

of this would you be so kind as to send

me the files so here the verb we're

using is send as I said we need to

follow this two with the infinitive form

of the verb send and send me the files

finishes the phrase so would you be so

kind as to send me the files means

please send me the files but it's a more

formal sounding request you're saying it

would be really nice of you if you would

send me the files

it just means please send me the files

but it sounds more polite okay let's

look at another one similar again this

one begins with wood and ends with two

in the introductory part of this pattern

however here we have possible would it

be possible to this sentence or this

pattern rather this is another way of

saying can you can you but would it be

possible to sounds much more formal than

can you or in some cases can I so let's

look at an example of this one would it

be possible to discuss this later would

it be possible to discuss this later

again we have this 2 here which shows us

we should use the infinitive form of the

verb the regular form of the verb to

discuss this later this part would it be

possible to means can so in other words

can we discuss this later that's what

this request is but it sounds more

formal would it be possible to discuss

this later we're connecting if you're

using this in speech we're connecting

these sounds would it be becomes would

it be would it be possible would be

possible to discuss this later okay so

this is a good one to use for can

situations if you would use can in a

regular request you could try would it

be possible to in the formal request

okay let's go along to the next one may

we ask you to may we ask you to this is

a formal way of saying

please please please do this thing so

again we're ending the pattern with two

here we have this kind of confusing

maybe may we ask you so you know that we

use may to ask for permission to do

something but we're also using ask so

really this combination make a very soft

request here I'm using we this we could

mean your group or your company or your

department perhaps so may we ask you to

is kind of making yourself sound quite

humble so you're kind of lowering

yourself and making a request from the

other person but again this just means

please please we're just using a more

formal expression again we're going to

need to use the infinitive form here

because we see two at the end of this

introductory section so let's look at an

example

alright may we ask you to submit the

application by tomorrow so again to our

infinitive form and here may we ask you

to submit the application by tomorrow I

phrased this as a question really if

you're using please you could just say

please submit the application by

tomorrow period not a question mark here

because we're being formal and polite we

say may we ask you to submit the

application by tomorrow so may we ask

you it's like you're asking permission

to ask for something from someone if

that makes sense so it's kind of a very

soft expression but we're phrasing this

as a question here again this just means

please submit the application by

tomorrow okay on to the next one the

next one is also a possibility

expression do you think you would be

able to so here we see would do you

think you would be able to this means

that in the future you're asking about

someone's future ability is something

that someone could do or would be able

to do in the future so do you think you

would be able to verb phrase here we

should follow this with the verb again

this part do

you think you would this is maybe kind

of softening it instead of would you be

able to it's do you think you would be

able to hear as well a pronunciation

point this you would we reduce this to

you'd do you think you'd be able to do

you think you'd be able to in speech in

writing we can use the regular form the

non reduce the non contracted form let's

look at an example of how to use this do

you think you would be able to have it

ready by tomorrow so this could be a

document for example do you think you

would be able to have it ready by

tomorrow if we want to make this really

really simple do you think you would be

able to have it ready by tomorrow is can

you have it ready by tomorrow that's

really what this means it's just a very

formal way of saying that do you think

you would be able to have it ready by

tomorrow so it's quite soft it's like

giving the other person a chance to say

no I'm really busy but it means can you

can you have it ready by tomorrow do you

think you would be able to have it ready

by tomorrow quite nice okay let's move

along to the next one again we're

starting this with wood so another soft

request pattern would you have some time

available to so this is asking about

someone's schedule would you have some

time available to verb we need to follow

this with the verb so let's look at the

example would you have some time

available to chat about this so again

here's our to our verb to chat about

this in other case this just means do

you have time to chat about this but

this would you have some time available

in the future

in other words or do you think that it

would be possible to chat about this is

another way to say that so just a quite

formal expression again do you have time

to chat in other words okay let's move

along to the next one for very kind of

direct requests but that are also formal

we

can use a pattern like this I would like

to request I would like to request here

you notice there's no - at the end of

this so we should probably use a noun

phrase here there's something that you

want to receive so I would like to

request something example I would like

to request your attendance at the

meeting I would like to request your

attendance at the meeting this is a

formal sentence which means please come

to the meeting please come to the

meeting so I would like to request you

can imagine this as meaning I want or a

need or please do this I would like to

request something I would like to

request a a letter I would like to

request an application form please I

would like to request your attendance at

the meeting as well so these mean I want

something but as I've gone over here try

to avoid using some of these expressions

informal requests I want and I need can

sound very casual and too direct

especially in business situations when

you're making a request I tend to avoid

using these if you're trying to give

some supporting information or your

requests maybe that's okay so for

example I would like to request your

attendance at the meeting because I need

your approval for my project for example

in that case using I need could be okay

but if you make your request your first

kind of introduction to your request

using I want or I need in some cases it

might sound a little too direct

so please kind of be cautious I tend to

avoid these same thing with can I can I

can sound a little bit casual sometimes

so you can kind of feel the situation

and how close you are to the person

you're speaking to or writing to okay

let's move along to the next one the

next one is great in emails and written

correspondence so this is when you are

maybe introducing yourself in an email

or you're introducing a request in an

email I am writing to request this is

very clear I like to use this when I'm

right

to someone that I don't know I use this

after I introduce myself

hi my name is Alicia I'm from ABC

company and I am writing to request so

this is in other words why am i writing

to this person so I'm writing to request

a meeting I'm writing to request to

request this document for example I'm

writing to request noun phrase Here I am

writing to request a letter of

recommendation so in other words this is

the thing I want I'm writing to request

this thing this is great to use in

emails when there's some specific thing

that you want and you want to describe

it quickly and clearly that's quite nice

alright let's move along to the next one

when you need to ask permission to do

something so here you'll see we go back

to this too at the end of the pattern

meaning we should use a verb here may I

or may we have permission to in other

words is it okay to but this is a formal

way to ask permission example sentence

example sentence may I have permission

to use your video in an article so this

is actually I think this is a similar

similar to a comment we received on the

channel may I have your permission to

use your video in an article in this

case so in other words is it okay if I

use your video in an article this is a

much more formal a much nicer way to ask

if something is okay to do or not all

right let's move on to the last pattern

for today

could you please could do you please

here you'll notice I've used you you can

change this if you've changed this to

like could I please it means you want

something like you want to receive

something here you're asking for someone

else to do something for you could you

please do something

example could you please let me know if

this is acceptable so this part let me

know if this is acceptable means please

let me know if this is okay acceptable

means okay really

but more formal so could you please let

me know if this is okay is what this

means but you can change this this you

to whoever like could he please give me

the information or could I please meet

with you later for example you can

change this could this could you

depending on the situation depending on

who is giving and who is receiving

information or a favor or so on so this

one there's quite a lot of flexibility

with this so keep that in mind okay so

those are a few different patterns that

you can use when you're making formal

requests so as I said this is really

good for business emails and formal

situation so I hope that you got some

new ideas of course if there's something

else that you like to use in your formal

requests please let us know in the

comments hi everybody my name is Alisha

in this lesson I'm going to talk about

how to make negative requests by

negative requests I mean how to make

requests for someone not to do something

or to stop a behavior so I'm going to

talk about some formal and some very

casual examples of this I hope that it's

useful let's get started all right first

one the first one is probably the most

useful and the easiest to remember it's

kind of polite a little bit but it's

also very clear and direct the pattern

is please don't verb please don't verb

so put any verb here in the regular like

the plain infinitive form no change to

the verb just please don't plus a

regular verb example please don't take

my pens please don't fire her so in

these examples my verbs are take and

fire please don't take my pens

please don't fire her so we can make

very simple ones too like please don't

sit there or please don't smoke for

example these are very quick short

direct easy to understand requests to

stop or not to do something okay let's

go to a very formal expression you might

see this on signs or you might see this

in official rules in regular

policies for example this is not

something that is commonly used in

everyday speech please refrain from verb

ing so we tend to use the ing form of

the verb here please refrain from please

refrain from this refrain from means

don't please don't and instead of using

the regular infinitive form of the verb

here we use the ing form here so this is

like the more formal version of the

first pattern

please don't burp to make it more formal

please refrain from verb in examples

please refrain from feeding the pigeons

so here feeding is in the ing form

please refrain from feeding the pigeons

if I want to use another simpler example

like in this sentence I used please

don't smoke we could use that here

please refrain from smoking that's a

very common one that you might see

posted in restaurants like on signs

please refrain from smoking please

refrain from ing form for a formal way

to say don't do this behavior okay let's

go on to three examples that are very

casual these are ones you'll use with

kids

you'll hear among close friends family

members and in some cases these are the

easiest to use because they're so direct

first one stop verb + ing so this is

very very direct there's no please

there's no could you it's just stop so

this is a very direct request stop verb

in examples stop hitting your sister

hitting is the ing form stop hitting

your sister stop looking at me so these

are very direct so we can imagine these

might be from like a parent to their

child or perhaps us to a close friend

for example so these are used in

situations where we're very close to the

listener stop

ing in the verb form okay let's go to

another one don't plus a verb

sometimes if

the verb is very clear if the action is

very clear we drop the verb and we

extend this don't sound so let's look at

some examples with a verb first don't

plus a verb it's just like this please

don't verb but even more direct more

casual don't put your elbows on the

table so elbows remember this part of

your body and putting it on a table like

at a dinner table for example is

considered rude so don't put your elbows

on the table don't bless our verb and

some extra information here don't put

your elbows on the table don't chew with

your mouth open so chewing is the action

this action of your mouth and chewing

with your mouth open instead of closing

your mouth as you chew is also

considered rude so these are a couple

quick room maybe reminders from a mother

or father or other parent figure don't

put your elbows on the table don't chew

with your mouth open

don't plus a verb so you might hear

especially young kids and kind of adults

who are having a little bit of fun with

language you might hear the verb getting

dropped so a great example would be mmm

like if a kid is fighting with their

brother or sister and the kid is getting

punched like there's someone like that's

hitting the kid the kid might just say

don't

so because the action they want to stop

is quite clear like don't hit me is what

the is what the speaker the little kid

means but they drop the the verb because

it's very clear the unpleasant action is

very very clear in those cases you might

hear speakers drop the verb completely

don't when it's very clear we know which

action we don't want so you might hear

that in lots of cases though we do

include the verb okay let's go to

another one though a pair stop it and

stop that stop it and stop that so here

the difference is it and that this just

depends on the speaker's feeling really

stop it means stop the behavior stop

that also it means stop the behavior

stop that is probably used

more when we want to point out a

behavior a little bit removed from us so

if I'm watching bad behavior across the

room I could say stop that stop that I

could say stop it as well if I want to

it just kind of depends on the speakers

the speaker's mood a little bit so stop

it or stop that or quick commands again

often from parents to mean stop that

behavior to stop that behavior stop it

or stop that so you can use both of

those um maybe a question some of you

might have stop this stop this we don't

use that one very much stop you could

say stop this car for example if you

want to talk about an object or

something that is moving that you want

to stop moving you could say stop this

car or stop this bus for example but

when you're talking about behavior we

don't use stop this we say stop that or

stop it interesting point okay let's go

along to a very casual kind of more

common in the last maybe 10 to 15 years

I would imagine I'm not sure

specifically but this is when we see a

lot on the Internet these days and a lot

used among young people could you not

plus maybe do that sometimes this is

dropped so this is very similar to don't

but what makes this interesting is it's

phrased as a polite expression could you

could you is use in polite requests here

we're using not though so could you not

do something could you not do that this

is actually not used in formal

situations yes we use could and you here

making us think oh well maybe it's

formal but this is actually a very

casual expression could you not do that

we use this with that sort of intonation

could you not do that we use it with

close friends only

so examples could you not post such

embarrassing pictures of me online so

this is used with someone that we're

quite close to we

make kind of a direct and slightly

sarcastic maybe request sometimes to

people so again as I talked about with

don't if the action is very clear we can

drop this whole part of the sentence and

just keep could you not so if for

example maybe a close friend is singing

really really loudly in my ear I could

say could you not

or I could say could you not do that

which means please stop please stop so

this is kind of an interesting an

interesting pattern it sounds kind of

formal it seems like it could be formal

but it's not actually it's quite it's

quite casual okay let's go on to the

last one for today this one is a formal

expression if you could please not verb

we would appreciate it if you could

please not verb we would appreciate it

so again this might come from maybe a

service staff or you might see this on a

sign in a restaurant or perhaps add like

I don't know some other kind of

gathering place where lots of people

visit so if you could please not regular

verb form we would appreciate it so a

formal expression at the beginning and

at the end so example if you could

please not feed the animals at the zoo

we would appreciate it so here's my verb

feed the animals at the zoo I have an

object here we would appreciate it

or if you could please not smoke we

would appreciate it

so this is a formal request not to do

something and we include an appreciation

expression too so this is another nice

formal expression you can use if you

forget though this one is maybe the

easiest to remember it's good and polite

situations good and casual situations

please don't burp pretty simple so I

hope that this was useful for you of

course if you have some other patterns

that you know of or if you have any

questions please feel free to let us

know in the comment section

let's begin with the basic definition of

this verb the basic definition of the

verb to put is to place something in a

location examples put your bag over

there don't put your feet on the sofa

let's look at some conjugations for this

verb now present put puts past put past

participle put progressive pudding

let's talk about some additional

meanings for the verb to put the first

one is to write to write examples

put your name on this line she put her

name on the list so when we say put in

this way we refer to writing so you're

adding some information to a written

document or a typed document as well so

can mean to write or like to type

information so put your name on this

line means like write your name or type

your name on this line in the second

example sentence she put her name on the

list it means the same thing she wrote

her name on the list or she added her

name to a list in some way it means

writing information ok let's go on to

the second additional meaning the second

additional meaning is to use words to

express something to use words to

express something examples how should I

put this you're putting it quite simply

so we can replace the word put with

express like how should i express this

in the first example sentence but we use

put because put sounds much less formal

than to express how should i express

this it sounds way too formal way too

polite instead we say how should I put

this we use that expression when we're

not quite sure how to say something like

we're maybe talking about a sensitive

topic and we don't know the correct

words to use or it's difficult to

explain you can say how should I put

this in the second example sentence

you're putting it quite simply it means

you're expressing things quite simply so

maybe it's a complex situation but the

listener is explaining things or

expressing things maybe too simply so

the speaker in this case could say it

you're putting it quite simply ok let's

go on to the third meaning the third

meaning is rather open and kind of vague

which is to cause to be in a situation

to cause to be in a situation let's look

at some examples this change puts the

whole company at risk you're terrible

driving puts us all in danger so in

these examples we see put is used to

refer to a situation that some group of

people or some person is caused to be in

so in the first example sentence this

change puts the whole company at risk

this change causes the whole company to

be at risk in a situation of risk in a

condition of risk we use put to refer to

that to refer to being caused to be in

the situation of risk

the second example sentence is the same

your terrible driving this is the reason

why the people are in danger in this

example sentence your terrible driving

puts us all in danger your terrible

driving causes us all to be in a

condition of danger it's very clumsy but

we use the verb put to make this quite

short and easy to say your terrible

driving puts us all in danger ok

there are so many variations so many

phrasal verbs to use with put yeah so

check and dictionary for more these are

just a few I'm going to introduce but

check a dictionary for this the first

variation for the verb put is put aside

to put aside so to put aside means to

stop thinking about something to seize

or to pause and activity while you do

something else

examples put aside your worries and

relax for a day I put my phone aside and

tried to focus on my work so in both of

these examples sentences we see that one

thing is kind of being moved away from

the focus so for example in the first

example sentence put aside your worries

it means like stop thinking about your

worries like put those to the side in

your mind like like don't think about

those things for a while

so in the second example sentence I'm

talking about my phone where I'm saying

I can literally put my phone aside put

my phone to the side of the thing I'm

doing and focus on my work I put my

phone aside so we can use this to talk

about a concept in our minds or to talk

about a physical object as well okay

let's go on to the next variation so the

next variation is to put someone down it

means to disrespect someone or to make

fun of someone to make them feel bad

about themselves some examples don't put

down your classmates it's rude his boss

keeps putting him down in front of his

co-workers so in both of these examples

we see situations where one person is

being disrespected by another person so

don't put down your classmates it's rude

so this in this case the listener is

maybe a kid in school who is

disrespectful to his or her classmates

so a parent or a teacher might say don't

put down meaning don't disrespect your

classmates don't be mean to your

classmates don't make fun of your

classmates so you know be kind to them

in other words don't put down your

classmates

you could also say don't put your

classmates down if you like that's fine

too in the second example sentence we

see a work situation like his boss

always puts him down in front of his

coworkers means the boss disrespects

this person in front

his co-workers so it's a disrespectful

situation again but one point about this

the expression to put someone down

refers to disrespect with regard to

humans however when talking about

animals like we had to put the cat down

and we had to put the dog down

it means usually due to some serious

sickness or some serious injury or

illness the owners of the pet usually a

pet or the animal decide that the pet

should have doctor-assisted death so to

put down an animal means to choose to

allow the animal to die peacefully

instead of suffering so we used that

expression I had to put my cat down this

is a much more soft expression than the

doctor killed my cat which is

essentially what happens but it's

because of some kind of suffering or

some kind of illness or injury the owner

wants to prevent we use the expression

to put an animal down in those cases we

do not use this for people we don't say

I had to put my brother down though we

do actually have an expression for

babies which which we use when we put

babies to bed like I'm going to put down

the baby for bed we do have that but

please be cautious of the differences

between animals and humans with this

expression to put someone down has very

different meanings ok let's go on to the

next variation which is to put up with

to put up with means to tolerate

something examples I don't want to put

up with this crazy schedule anymore

don't put up with their bad behavior in

these examples put up with refers to

tolerating or being able to stand

something or continuing to live with

something in the first example sentence

I can't put up with this crazy schedule

anymore means I don't want to live with

this crazy schedule anymore I can't

stand it I don't want to do it anymore

in the second example sentence don't put

up with their bad behavior it means

don't tolerate their bad behavior so put

up with something means like to continue

living with something and we often see

it in the negative form as and don't put

up with something

okay so those are a few new ways I hope

to use the verb put I hope that you

found something new and as I said there

are a lot of phrasal verbs that can be

used with put so please check a

dictionary if you'd like to see some

more how to improve your language and

speak more through preparation do you

think it's possible to speak more of

your target language by preparing lines

ahead of time today you're going to

learn one why you should prepare for

conversations ahead of time and two how

you can prepare for conversations in

your target language if you've always

wanted to speak more of your target

language but didn't know how this tactic

will give you more to talk about how to

improve your language and speak more

through preparation okay let's get into

part 1 why you should prepare for

conversations ahead of time if you're a

beginner you can probably relate to this

when it comes to speaking you tend to

run out of things to say and that's

because you don't know enough of the

language to express yourself and that's

where preparation comes in you may think

that the conversations we have in our

daily lives are spontaneous that you

can't prepare for them you're right to

an extent but imagine meeting someone

for the first time both of you will go

through some common questions and

phrases like what's your name my name is

where are you from and how long have you

been studying the language as a language

learner you'll have these kinds of

conversations with almost every native

you meet guaranteed they'll always ask

you about how long and how you've been

learning and even with your friends some

conversations start the same way for

example you say things like hey how are

you how are things how was your weekend

my weekend was good and you let's say

you went to a restaurant this weekend

man now you want to talk about it well

that allows you to prepare and learn

some phrases like I went to a restaurant

the restaurant had delicious food the

point is some questions and phrases come

up often in conversations so it makes

total sense to master them ahead of time

and you can always plan ahead and

prepare for things you want to talk

about when it comes time to speak you

know what to say how to respond and you

don't

out of talking points as quickly so how

do you prepare let's jump into part two

the first thing you can do to prepare is

check out our 25 questions you need to

know lesson series this series is

specifically designed to help you with

the first time conversations you'll have

with native speakers you'll learn the 25

most common questions and answers used

in conversations just listen to the

lessons repeat out loud then put what

you learn to use these will serve as

talking points so you can keep your

conversations going number 2 print out

the curriculum for this lesson series so

you can review all of the lessons at

once the curriculum gives you the lines

and vocabulary used in all lessons up

front so you can use this to review key

questions and responses this will allow

you to control conversations and ask

questions instead of just having the

native speaker ask you all the questions

in other words you'll sound like a fluid

confident and experienced speaker number

three check out our printable

conversation cheat sheets this is

another free resource that gives you

lines and words for all kinds of topics

for example talking about hobbies your

family and much more number four ask

yourself what do you want to talk about

come up with some topics and for each

topic write out potential questions and

phrases that would come up in a

conversation for example if you want to

talk about restaurants you can have

lines like my favorite restaurant is my

favorite food is what's your favorite

restaurant and then run these lines

through a translation app it won't be

perfect but it will give you lines to

use that you can correct later number

five look for lessons that are related

to your topics with our lesson library

on our site we have hundreds of lessons

that teach you conversations so if

you're looking for lessons related to

restaurants and food you'll get all

kinds of conversations that you can use

teacher via my teacher and try a

conversation with them they'll help you

every step of the way

lines to use in a conversation that way

on the page so thank you for watching

this episode of monthly review next time

we'll talk about how to start

conversations talking points for

language learners most people don't like

to hear this but consistent hard work is

one of the biggest factors in your

language learning success the course or

method you choose makes a difference too

but at the end of the day you write or

die by the work you put in the quantity

of time spent studying language doesn't

necessarily determine the quality of

your study spending 3 hours a day

watching movies doesn't help you learn

much if you're not actively engaging

with the language in this video we'll

talk about 3 ways to actively engage

your mind while studying a new language

number 1 think of your brain as a muscle

you're probably familiar with the phrase

feel the burn

or maybe no pain no gain if you've been

to your local gym recently there's a

chance you might have heard one of these

phrases or seen them plastered on a wall

there's an idea in the world of sports

and workouts that the discomfort you

feel when running pumping iron or doing

some other physical activity is what

brings results during a healthy workout

the muscles of the body are effective at

a microscopic level the discomfort you

feel is your muscles being pushed to

their limit it's the limit pushing that

strengthens your muscles so that over

time your performance increases in the

context of language learning it's

helpful to think of your brain as a

muscle just as we need to push

physical limits when exercising we also

need to push our mental limits when

learning a foreign language

have we ever studied or practiced your

target language in a way that left you

tired or even exhausted if so you've

experienced what it's like to push your

brain out of its linguistic comfort zone

number two practice active listening one

of the easiest ways to push your

language skills is to practice active

listening active listening is when you

listen to someone speaking your target

language and you do your best to

understand what you hear the best way to

accomplish this is by using audio that

you can't completely understand on the

first listen preferably you want to use

audio that has subtitles or transcripts

for you to double-check your

understanding after you listen to it you

can use movies YouTube clips or even our

language program which has very useful

transcripts for each lesson during a

practice session you should listen to

the audios several times the first time

around it's okay if little to no words

stick out to you simply make a mental

note of any words or sounds you

recognize the second time you listen

you're likely to recognize a little more

than you did the previous time expect

similar results with your third or even

fourth time listening after you've hit

the ceiling of words you can decipher go

ahead and look at the language subtitles

or transcripts listen to the audio again

reading along with the text odds are

that you will see words in the text you

know but didn't hear correctly you're

also likely to encounter words that are

new to you completely as you play back

the audio and read along try to guess

what these words mean from the context

of the words around them after you have

read along a couple times feel free to

look up the remaining unfamiliar words

in a dictionary or translator app this

active listening exercise routine is a

great way to increase your listening and

comprehension skills while picking up

some new vocabulary along the way it

also allows you to learn new words in

context which itself is a powerful

method to help you retain what you study

number three practicing with native

speakers practicing with native speakers

is the epitome of pushing your language

skills using what you know to

communicate in real time is where the

rubber really meets the road try to

connect with a native speaker on a

weekly basis regularity is what makes

the difference when you're learning a

foreign language if you live in a large

metropolitan area then there's a

significant chance that there are some

local native speakers nearby try hitting

up a local language exchange or meetup

group to make the necessary connections

if you're unable to find a practice

partner locally then you can take your

search online there are a number of

sites out there that help you find and

connect with other language learners

from around the world there are tons of

language learners around the world who

have learned or are learning a second

language you're likely to find someone

who knows your target language and is

looking to improve their own language

skills as well learning a new language

isn't always easy but it's the

discomfort that comes with pushing your

ability in the language that produces

results in your studies don't be afraid

to step outside of your comfort zone the

further away you get from your native

language the closer you'll be to

attaining fluency also remember that

language learning is in every way a lot

like an adventure there will be fun

times and times when it feels like

you're swimming up the proverbial stream

it's by keeping your head up long enough

through these ups and downs that you

will experience the priceless

satisfaction that comes from learning a

foreign language just keep moving

forward let's be honest it's difficult

to learn a new language if you're new to

a language it's going to take consistent

and concentrated effort to start using

the language fluently

however this fact shouldn't discourage

you while learning a new language is

hard it's far from impossible in this

video will outline five tips you can use

to jump-start your language learning

follow these pointers to learn your

target language in a way that is

efficient and effective number one limit

your native language use when practicing

the idea here is that when you practice

with native speakers you do your best to

refrain from using your native language

this is generally harder the less you

know but if you can manage to stick to

this rule you'll reap some huge rewards

if you commit to a known native language

practice session it's not going to be

easy

most likely there will be some

frustrating if not painstakingly

difficult moments where you either have

trouble understanding the person you're

talking to or you can't say what you

want to say it's precisely in these

moments that your language learning

muscles are built up to capacity the

process really isn't all that different

from working out in the gym just replace

the physical burn of lifting weights for

the mental burn of thinking in a new

language in the end if there's no pain

there's no gain

obviously this no native language rule

doesn't have to be written in stone

there are times when it's more

beneficial to break out of the target

language box and have something

explained to you in your native language

however this should definitely be the

exception rather than the standard

number to have set times to practice

speaking throughout the week now that

we've discussed a good way to practice

speaking let's delve a bit into when to

speak one of the best commitments you

can keep while learning a new language

is to set aside specific times to

practice speaking the language on a

weekly basis ideally these speaking

sessions are on set days at specific

times and formed part of your weekly

routine if you don't make it a point to

set aside specific practice times you

run the risk of your language practice

falling through the cracks of your busy

schedule I recommend writing down your

practice times and hanging it somewhere

you can always see it you could also

input the times in to your phone and set

an alarm the point is to remind yourself

of your commitment every day so that it

doesn't fall by the wayside number three

get picky about vocabulary whether you

practice with a podcast a friend at a

coffee shop or a teacher you're going to

run into a flood of new and unfamiliar

vocabulary despite your best efforts

it's unlikely that you'll be able to pin

down every new word or phrase you hear

and study it later

thus you should pick and choose which

new words you focus on the defining

quality of each new word you learned

should be its practicality the more

useful of word or phrases to you in a

conversation the more important it is

that you learn it don't feel like you

have to cram the entirety of your target

language into one week of study take it

one step at a time

few practical words here some more there

before you know it you'll see your

vocabulary improved number four write

and practice short monologues this tip

can be a lot of fun begin by selecting a

topic you enjoy discussing then simply

write out a short monologue or speech on

the subject in your target language the

first thing you'll notice while doing

this will likely be the holes in your

grammar and vocabulary but when you try

to write out your thoughts in a foreign

language you might inevitably hit

roadblocks you might not be able to

think of a word or know how to formulate

a specific idea or opinion yet this can

be great because these holes are the

exact areas where you should focus your

studies you can bring up these problem

areas in your next lesson or a browse

through your favorite language course or

textbook in order to find the answer

the constant process of finding these

language holes and filling them is what

keeps you moving along the path to

fluency once you finish your short text

it's a great idea to practice reciting

it or even memorizing it the

memorization will help you internalize

the new grammar and vocabulary you've

learned reciting it will get your tongue

and mouth used to the sounds number 5

keep an up-to-date list on what you want

to learn throughout your studies you

should always have a sort of language

shopping list as you practice and study

you will most likely come across things

you'd like to be able to say but don't

know how to yet especially if you follow

our previous tip write this wish list

down it's one thing to learn the

vocabulary you pick up via a course or

podcast both of which are great it's a

bit different when your vocabulary gets

personal learn the words that matter to

you either because they're practical or

because you simply find them interesting

the more relevant the vocabulary the

more likely you are to retain it some

people might tell you it's impossible to

learn a new language for whatever reason

but it's important to remember that the

way you study and engage with a language

greatly affects how quickly or

effectively you learn it want to speed

上次我们谈到美国

超市以及它们的独特之处

这次我们将看看

在纽约市生活的实际成本是多少

你想到美国

，可能首先想到的事情之一

就是纽约市的明亮灯光和

大城市的快节奏，

每个到访的人都

想去 到大型旅游景点 中央

公园 时代广场 自由女神像

但是

在这个视频中住在那里的实际成本是多少 我们将

谈论纽约市的实际生活成本

让我们从

您需要的最基本的东西开始 住在纽约

没有公寓的公寓你

不能说你住在纽约

市，但如果你想住在城市里，

你应该准备住在纽约

一半以上公寓的狭小空间

里 城市面积为 700

平方英尺或更小，约为 65

平方米 平均分别为 1890 美元或

2100 美元，

所以

如果你想住在城市里，预计会支付相当高的价格，

但请记住，公寓

的暖气和水需要单独支付

对于

纽约市约 915 平方英尺的普通公寓

，水电费大约需要 145 美元，

这包括取暖、电、水

和垃圾，用于互联网和电话，

但这是完全独立的

付款

生活在纽约市最好的事情之一就是多么

方便 事情是，如果你走

在街上，你可以很快找到一家咖啡店、

书店或超市，

因为住在那里的人

很少有车

，在城里养车很贵，人们使用

公共交通工具，如公共汽车或

地铁 每月的过境通行证

大约需要支付 120 美元，

如果您想乘坐出租车，票价从

2 美元 50 美分开始 纽约

市以其种类繁多的美味餐厅而闻名，

您可以找到

来自世界各地的美食 在纽约市可以买到

从食品车热狗到昂贵的

牛排晚餐的任何东西，

因为种类繁多，但是

很难确定具体的 c

住在纽约市的一顿饭的平均水平

你可以想象去听

音乐会、看棒球比赛等等，

但是如果你想在纽约市看最新的电影，这些费用可能会变得相当

昂贵，

你可以期望

支付大约 每张票 15 美元，如果您

想做一些更令人兴奋的事情

，例如观看洋基队棒球比赛，

每张票大约需要 50 美元

，如果您想去

百老汇看一场最新的演出，

您可以期待

为最好的座位支付大约几百美元

有很多方法可以确定

纽约市的生活成本，但这

只是几个重要方面，

那么纽约市与

您所在国家的大城市相比如何？

那是不同的，

你还想知道什么关于美国

文化让我们在评论中知道

大家好，我的名字是艾丽西亚在这

节课中我将讨论正式的

请求模式这些是一些

不同的模式 您可以

在提出正式请求时使用它们，因此

它们非常适合商业电子邮件和其他

需要礼貌地

提出要求的情况 我将介绍

这些模式，然后我将

分享几个示例 好吧，这些

不是您可以使用的唯一模式，

它们只是帮助您入门的一些想法，

所以让我们来看看好吧第

一个让我们从第一个开始，

今天您将看到其中的一些模式，

我们将使用 开头的单词 wood

记住我们可以使用 wood 作为

开始请求的常用词，因此第一个

示例包括 this you will be so

kind to something

在许多这些示例中您会看到的另一件事是

这个词 - 在 kind of 之前 额外的

信息部分，这是一个很好的提示

，我们应该在这部分后面

加上某种动词，所以 - 加上

over 的不定式形式，我们会看到很多这样

的例子，所以我包含的第一个例子是这样的

做某事，这就是提出请求，

并且 这部分要善意，

以至于说话者

在做我们将

要描述的这个动作时请求听众或读者的善意，所以让我们看一个

例子，你能好心给

我发邮件吗？ 文件，所以这里我们使用的动词

是发送，正如我所说，我们需要在

这两个后面

加上动词发送的不定式形式，并将文件发送给我

完成这个短语，所以请你

给我发送文件的意思是

请 把文件发给我，但听起来

更正式 在

这个模式的介绍部分，这个以木头开头，以两个结尾，

但是在这里我们

有可能这句话或这个模式是否可能，

而是这是另一种

说法，你能不能，但

听起来可能很多 比正式

你能或者在某些情况下我能不能让我们

看一个例子

动词 动词的常规形式 to

discussion this later this part would it be

possible 意味着 can

so 连接 如果你

在演讲中使用它 我们正在连接

这些声音 会不会变成这样

在

常规请求中你

可以尝试在正式请求中

是否

可以 '正在结束 patt ern 在

这里有两个，我们有这种混淆

也许我们可以问你，所以你知道我们

使用 may 来请求做某事的许可，

但我们也使用 ask 所以

这个组合在这里提出了一个非常软的

请求我正在使用 我们这个我们可能

意味着您的团队或您的公司或您的

部门也许我们要求您

这样做有点让自己听起来很

谦虚，所以您有点降低

自己并向对方提出要求，

但这只是意味着

请 拜托，我们只是再次使用更

正式的表达方式，我们

需要在这里使用不定式，

因为我们在介绍性部分的末尾看到了两个，

所以让我们看一个

例子

好吧，我们可以要求您通过以下方式提交

申请 明天再次使用我们的

不定式表格，在这里我们可能会要求您

在明天之前提交申请我将其

表述为一个问题，如果

您正在使用，请您可以只说

请在明天之前提交申请，

而不是问题 在这里做标记

是因为我们是正式和有礼貌的，我们

说我们可能会要求您在

明天之前提交申请，所以我们可能会问

您，这就像您请求允许

向某人索取某些东西，如果

这有意义的话，所以这是一种非常

温和的表达，但我们在

这里再次将其表述为一个问题，这只是意味着

请在

明天之前提交申请 好的，继续下一个

下一个也是一种可能的

表达，你认为你能做到吗

，所以在这里我们看到会做 你

认为你能做到这

意味着在未来你询问

某人未来的能力

是某人可以做或

将来能够做的事情所以你认为你

可以在这里动词短语 we

should 再次跟这个动词后面

这部分

你认为你会吗这可能是

一种软化它而不是你能

不能它你认为你

能听到以及发音

点这个你会我们把它减少给

你吗 'd do you think you'd be able to do

you think you'd speech in

writing we can use the regular form

the non reduce noncontracted form 让我们

看一个如何使用它的例子，

你认为 您可以在

明天之前准备好它，因此这可能是一个

文档，例如

，

如果我们想让这变得

非常简单，您认为您是否可以在明天之前准备好它您认为您

可以拥有它吗？ 明天准备好是

你能不能把它明天准备好这

真的是什么意思这只是一种非常

正式的说法你认为

你能在明天之前准备好

所以它很柔软就像

给另一个人一个机会 说不，

我真的很忙，但这意味着

你能不能在明天之前把它准备好，你

认为你能在明天之前准备好它

吗？很好，让

我们再次进入下一个，我们

从这个开始 木头，所以

你可以有一些时间吗？

有空所以这是询问

某人的日程安排 你有

时间来动词吗 我们需要

跟在动词后面 所以让我们看看这个

例子 你有

时间聊聊吗 再说一遍

我们的动词聊天 关于

这个，在其他情况下，这只是意味着

你有时间聊聊这个，但是

换句话说，你将来有时间吗，或者你认为

有可能聊聊这是

另一种说法 只是一个非常

正式的表达你有

时间聊天换句话说好吧让我们

继续下一个非常

直接的请求但这也是正式的

我们

可以使用这样的模式

在这里请求，

您注意到没有 - 在此结束时，

我们可能应该使用名词

短语，这里有您想要接收的东西，

所以我想

请求一些示例我

想请求您出席 t the

meeting I would like to request you

waiting at the meeting 这是一个

正式的句子，意思是

请到会，请到会，

所以我想请求你

可以把这想象成我想要或

需要或请做的意思 这个 我想

请求一些东西 我想

请求一封信 我想

请求一份申请表 我

也想请求你

出席会议所以这些意味着我想要

一些东西但是因为我已经过去了

为了避免使用其中一些表达方式，

我想要和我需要的非正式请求

听起来非常随意和过于直接，

尤其是在您提出请求的商务场合中，

如果您试图提供

一些支持信息或您的信息，我倾向于避免使用这些表达方式。

请求也许没关系，

例如，我想请求您

参加会议，因为我需要

您对我的项目的批准，例如

在这种情况下，使用我需要可以，

但如果您让 你的请求你的第

一种介绍你的请求

使用我想要或我需要在某些情况下它

可能听起来有点太直接

所以请小心我倾向于

避免这些同样的事情我可以我

可以听起来有点随意 有时，

这样您就可以感觉到这种情况

以及您与

正在与之交谈或写信的人有多亲近，好吧，

让我们继续下一个，

下一个在电子邮件和书面通信中很棒，

所以这是您

可能的时候 在电子邮件中介绍自己

或您在

电子邮件中提出请求

我的名字是艾丽西亚，我来自 ABC

公司，我正在写信请求所以

这就是为什么我要写信

给这个人所以我写信是为了

请求开会我写信是为了请求

请求这份文件 我

写信是为了请求名词短语 Here I a 我

写信是为了请求

推荐信，换句话说，这就是

我想要的

东西 很好，

好吧，

当你需要请求允许

做某事时，让我们继续

下一个

has permission to

换句话说，可以，但这是请求许可的正式

方式 在

频道上，我是否可以

在这种情况下获得您在文章中使用您的视频

的许可，所以换句话说，如果我

在文章中使用您的视频可以吗？这是一种

更正式的更好的方式来询问

是否可以 做或不做所有

好吧，让我们继续今天的最后一个

模式，

你可以吗？你可以吗？

在这里你会注意到我已经用过你你可以

改变这个如果你把它改成

喜欢我可以吗？这意味着你想要你想要的

东西 在

这里收到东西你要求

别人为你做某事你能不能

做一些

例子你能不能让我知道

这是否可以接受所以这部分让我

知道这是否可以接受意味着请

让我知道这是否可以 好的，可以接受的

意思是真的可以，

但是更正式，所以请告诉

我这是否可以，这意味着什么，

但是您可以将其更改

为任何喜欢的人，他可以给

我信息

吗，或者我可以稍后与您见面吗？ 您可以

根据具体情况进行更改，具体取决于

谁在给予和谁在接受

信息或帮助等等，所以

这个有很大的灵活性

，所以请记住这

一点 这些是

您在提出正式请求时可以使用的几种不同模式，

正如我所说，这

对于商务电子邮件和正式

场合非常有用，所以我希望您当然有一些

新的想法，如果您还有

其他喜欢的东西 在您的正式

请求中使用请

在评论中告诉我们大家好，我的名字是 Alisha

在本课中我将讨论

如何通过否定请求提出

否定请求我的意思是如何

请求某人不做某事或不做某事

停止一个行为，所以我将

谈论一些正式和一些非常

随意的例子我希望它

有用让我们开始吧第

一个第一个可能是最

有用且最容易记住的它

有点礼貌 一点点，但它

也非常清晰和直接模式

是请不要动词请不要动词

所以把任何动词都放在规则中，

就像普通的不定式形式没有

改变动词只是请不要加上

规则动词考试 ple please don't take

my pen 请不要解雇她，所以在

这些例子中，我的动词是 take 和

fire，请不要拿我的笔，

请不要解雇她，所以我们也可以制作

非常简单的，比如 please don't

坐在那里或请不要吸烟

例如这些非常快速 简短

直接 易于理解 请求

停止或不做某事 好吧 让

我们用一个非常正式的表达方式，您可能会

在标志上看到这一点，或者您可能会

在官方规则中看到这一点 常规

政策 例如，这不是

日常用语中常用的东西，请不要使用动词

ing，因此我们倾向于在这里使用动词的 ing 形式，

请不要使用，请

不要使用，请不要使用，请

不要使用，请不要使用。 我们在这里使用 ing 形式，而不是使用

动词的常规不定式形式，

所以这

就像第一个模式的更正式版本

请不要打嗝以使其更正式

请不要在示例中使用动词

请不要喂食 鸽子

所以这里的喂食是 ing 的形式

如果我想用另一个更简单的例子，

比如我用的这个句子

，请不要吸烟，我们可以在这里使用，

请不要吸烟，这是一个

很常见的例子，你可能会 看到

张贴在餐馆像标志

请不要吸烟请

不要用正式的

方式说不要做这种行为好吧让我们

继续举三个非常

随意的例子这些是你会和

孩子一起

使用的例子 会在亲密的朋友家人中听到

，在某些情况下，这些是

最容易使用的，因为它们非常直接，

第一个停止动词 + ing 所以这是

非常直接的，没有请

，没有，你可以，它只是停止，所以

这是一个非常

示例中的直接请求停止动词停止打你的妹妹

打是ing形式停止打

你的妹妹停止看着我，所以这些

非常直接，所以我们可以想象这些

可能是从父母到他们的

孩子，或者也许是我们 例如给一个亲密的朋友

，所以这些用于

我们非常接近

听众

的情况 以动词形式停止 好的，让我们去

另一个，不要加上动词，

如果动词很清楚，如果动作是

很清楚，我们去掉了动词，我们

扩展了这个不听起来，所以让我们看

一些例子，动词先不要

加上动词，就像这样，请

不要动词，但更直接更

随意不要放你的 肘部放在桌子上，

这样肘部就会记住

你身体的这一部分，然后把它放在餐桌上，

比如在餐桌上，这被

认为是不礼貌的，所以不要把肘部

放在桌子上，不要祝福我们的动词和

一些额外的信息。 不要把

你的肘部放在桌子上不要张

着嘴咀嚼所以咀嚼是你嘴巴张开的动作

而不是在

咀嚼时闭嘴咀嚼的动作也

被认为是粗鲁的，所以这些都是

快速的 房间可能来自母亲

或父亲或其他爸爸的提醒 租图 不要

把你的手肘放在桌子上 不要

张开嘴咀嚼

不要加上动词，这样你可能会听到

特别是年幼的孩子和对语言

有点乐趣的成年人，

你可能会听到 动词 getting

dropped 所以一个很好的例子是 mmm

就像一个孩子正在和他们的

兄弟或姐妹打架并且孩子被

拳打脚踢，就像有这样的人在

打孩子，孩子可能只是说

不要

这样，因为他们想要的动作 停止

很清楚，就像不要打我一样，

这就是说话者小孩的

意思，但他们放弃了动词，因为

很明显，在那些情况下，不愉快的动作非常清楚，你可能会

听到说话者完全放弃

动词 '当很清楚我们知道

我们不想要哪个动作时，所以你可能会

在很多情况下听到，尽管我们确实

包含了动词，好吧，让我们去

另一个，虽然一对停止它并

停止那个停止它并停止那个所以 这里

的区别是它和 这只是

取决于说话者的感觉真的

停止它意味着停止行为停止

这也意味着停止行为

停止

当我们想要指出一个

离我们有点远的行为时可能会使用更多所以

如果我在看不好 整个

房间的行为我可以说停止那个停止

如果我愿意的话我也可以说停止

它只是有点取决于

扬声器扬声器的情绪所以停止

它或停止它或经常再次快速命令

来自父母 意思是停止那个

行为 停止那个行为 停止它

或停止那个，这样你就可以使用这

两个 嗯，也许你们中的一些人

可能已经停止这个停止这个我们不

使用那个停止你可以

说停止这辆车 例如，如果您

想谈论一个物体或

正在移动的东西，您

想停止移动，您可以说 stop this

car 或 stop this bus 例如，但是

当您谈论行为时，我们

不使用 stop this 我们说 stop 那或

停止它的兴趣 ting point 好吧，让我们

继续使用一种非常随意的方式，

在过去的 10 到 15 年中更常见，

我想我不确定，

但这是我们

这些天在互联网上看到很多并且

在年轻人中使用很多的时候 人们可以你不

加也许这样做有时这会被

丢弃，所以这与不这样做非常相似，

但有趣的是它被

表达为一种礼貌的表达方式，

你可以在礼貌请求中使用吗？

我们在这里使用不是这样 你能不

做某事你能不做吗？

这实际上不用于正式

场合是的，我们使用 can，你在这里

让我们想，哦，好吧，也许它是

正式的，但这实际上是一个非常

随意的表达方式，你能不这样做吗？

那种语调

你能不能做到我们

只和亲密的朋友一起使用

所以例子你不能在

网上发布我这样令人尴尬的照片所以

这是与我们

非常接近的人一起使用的

rcastic 可能有时会向人们提出要求，

所以正如我所说的

那样，如果动作非常清楚，我们可以

放弃整个句子的这一部分，

并保持你不能这样，

例如，也许一个亲密的朋友正在

大声唱歌 在我耳边我可以

说你不能

或者我可以说你不能那样做

这意味着请停止请停止所以

这是一种有趣的

有趣模式听起来有点

正式它似乎可能是正式的

但实际上并不是

很随意 好吧 让我们继续

今天的最后一个 这是一个正式的

表达 如果你能请不要动词

我们会很感激 如果你能

请不要动词 我们会很感激

所以这可能来自

服务 工作人员，或者您可能会在餐厅的标志上看到这个，

或者可能会添加

我不知道有很多人访问的其他类型的

聚会场所，

所以如果您可以请不要使用常规

动词形式，我们将不胜

感激 开头

和结尾的正式表达例如，如果您可以

请不要在动物园喂动物，

我们将不胜感激，所以这是我的动词

，在动物园喂动物我在这里有一个

对象，我们将不胜感激，

或者如果您可以请 不吸烟，我们

会很感激，

所以这是一个不做某事的正式要求

，我们也包括一个赞赏的

表达，所以这是另一个不错的

正式表达，如果你

忘记了，虽然这个可能是

最容易记住的，但它是好的和礼貌的

情况 好的和随意的情况

请不要打嗝很简单所以我

希望这对你

当然有用如果你有

一些你知道的其他模式或者如果你有任何

问题请随时

在评论部分

让我们知道让我们 从

这个动词的基本定义开始 to put 动词的基本定义

是把东西放在一个

地方 例子把你的包放在

那儿 不要把你的脚放在沙发上

让我们看看 me 这个

动词的变位 现在现在 put puts past put

Past particile put Progressive pudding

let's talk about some additional

meanings for the verb to put the first

one is to write to write示例

把你的名字放在这一行 她把她的

名字放在名单上 所以 当我们说以这种方式放置时，

我们指的是书写，因此您正在

向书面

文档或打字文档添加一些信息，因此

可能意味着书写或喜欢键入

信息，因此将您的名字放在这一

行意味着喜欢写下您的名字 或者

在第二个例句的这一行中输入你的名字

她把她的名字放在

名单上 这意味着

她在名单上写下她的名字或她

以某种方式将她的名字添加到名单上 这意味着

写下信息 好的，让我们继续

对于第二个附加含义 第二个

附加含义是用词来

表达某事 用词来

表达某事 例子

我该怎么说 你说得很简单，

所以我们可以用 expre 替换这个词

ss 比如我应该如何

在第一个例句中表达这个，但我们使用

put 因为 put 听起来

比表达我应该如何表达

这个更正式，这听起来太正式了太

礼貌了相反我们说我应该如何

表达这个我们使用那个表达 当我们

不太确定如何说诸如

我们可能在谈论敏感

话题并且我们不知道该使用正确的

词或难以

解释时，您可以说我应该

如何在第二个例句中表达

你说得很简单，这意味着

你在表达事情很简单，所以这

可能是一个复杂的情况，但

听者在解释事情或

表达事情可能过于简单，所以

在这种情况下，说话者可能会说

你说得很简单 好的，让我们

继续第三个含义第三个

含义相当开放且有点模糊

，即导致处于某种情况

导致处于某种情况让我们

看一些示例这种变化使

整个公司处于危险之中 k 你的驾驶很糟糕

让我们所有人都处于危险之中，所以在

这些例子中，我们看到 put 用于

指代某些

人或某些人被导致处于其中的情况，

所以在第一个例句中，这种

变化会使整个公司 at risk

这种变化会导致整个公司

处于风险状态 in a situation of risk in a

condition of risk 我们用 put 指代

那个表示被导致

处于风险的情况下

第二个例句是相同的

你的可怕 驾驶这就是

为什么在这个例句中人们处于危险之中的原因

你糟糕的驾驶

让我们所有人都处于危险

之中 很容易说，你糟糕的

驾驶让我们都处于危险之中，好吧

，有这么多的变化，这么多的

短语动词可以和 put 一起使用，所以

检查和字典了解更多这些

只是我要介绍的几个，但

检查字典 y 为此，动词 put 的第一个

变体是

putside to put side so to putside 意思是

停止思考要抓住的东西

或在你做其他事情时暂停和活动

示例放下你的担忧，

放松一天 I put 我的手机放在一边，并

试图专注于我的工作，所以在这

两个例句中，我们都看到有一

件事正在

远离焦点，所以例如在第一个

例句中，抛开你的担忧，

这意味着就像停止思考你的

担心，比如把那些放在一边

，比如暂时不去想

那些事情，

所以在第二个例句中，我

说的是我的手机，我说

我可以把手机放在一边，把手机放在一边

在我正在做的事情的一边

，专注于我的工作我把

手机放在一边，这样我们就可以用它来

谈论我们脑海中的一个概念或

谈论一个物理对象，好吧，

让我们继续下一个变化 所以

下一个变化是 贬低某人 这

意味着不尊重某人或

取笑某人让他们

对自己感到难过 一些例子 不要

贬低你的同学 这是粗鲁 他的老板

一直在他的同事面前贬低他

所以在这两个方面 例如，

我们看到一个人

被另一个人不尊重的情况，所以

不要贬低你的同学，这是不礼貌的，

所以在这种情况下，听众

可能是学校里的一个孩子，他

不尊重他或她的同学，

所以是父母或老师 可能会说不要

放下意思不要不尊重你的

同学不要对你的

同学刻薄不要取笑你的

同学所以你知道要善待

他们换句话说不要贬低你的

同学

你也可以 说

如果你喜欢就不要贬低你的

同学在第二个例句中我们

看到这样的工作情况，比如他的老板

总是在他的同事面前贬低他，这意味着老板在他的

同事面前不尊重

这个人

所以 这又是一种不尊重的

情况，但是关于这一点

，放下某人的表达

是指对人类的不尊重，

但是当谈到

动物时，比如我们不得不放下猫

，我们不得不放下狗，

这意味着通常是由于一些 严重的

疾病或一些严重的伤害或

疾病 宠物的主人通常是

宠物或动物决定宠物

应该由医生协助死亡，所以

放下动物意味着选择

让动物平静地死去

而不是受苦，所以我们 用那个

表达我不得不把我的猫放下这个

表达比

医生杀死我的猫

要温和得多

在这种情况下放下动物的表达方式 我们

不会将其用于人们 我们不会说

我不得不放下我的兄弟虽然我们

确实有一个表达

婴儿的表达方式 e 当我们让

婴儿上床睡觉时使用，就像我要放下婴儿上床一样

，我们确实有，但

请注意

动物和人类之间的差异，这种

表达方式来放下某人有非常

不同的含义，好的，让我们继续吧 到

下一个变

体 忍受 忍受意味着容忍

某些事情 我不想

再忍受这个疯狂的时间表

不要忍受他们在

这些例子中的不良行为 忍受是指

容忍 或者能够忍受

某事或继续忍受某

事在第一个例句中

我不能忍受这个疯狂的日程安排

意味着我不想再忍受

这个疯狂的日程安排我

受不了我不' t want to do it more

in the second example

不容忍他们的不良行为，这意味着不要容忍他们的不良行为，所以

忍受某事意味着喜欢继续

与某事生活在一起，我们经常

以否定的形式看到它 作为和不' t put

up with something

OK 所以这些是一些新的方式

您想了解

更多如何通过准备来提高您的语言并

说得更多 您

认为通过提前准备台词可以说更多

您的目标语言

今天您将

学习一个为什么您应该为对话做准备

提前两个

如果你一直

想讲更多的目标

语言但不知道这种策略

如何让你更多地谈论如何

提高你的语言和说话，你如何准备用你的目标语言进行对话 更多

通过准备 好的，让我们进入

第 1 部分，为什么你应该

提前准备对话 如果你是

初学者，你可能会与此相关，

当谈到说话时，你往往

会无话可说，那就是

b 因为你

对表达自己的语言不够了解，这

就是准备工作的地方 你可能

认为我们日常生活中的对话

是自发的，你

无法为它们做好准备 在某种程度上你是对的，

但想象一下

第一次见面你们俩都会

遇到一些常见的问题和

短语，比如你叫什么名字我的名字

是你来自哪里以及

你学习语言多久了 作为一个语言

学习者你会和你进行这类

对话 几乎

你遇到的每个当地人都保证他们总是会问

你学习了多长时间和如何

学习，甚至与你的朋友之间的一些

对话也以同样的方式开始，

例如你说诸如嘿，

你好吗？你周末过得怎么样？

我的周末很好，假设

你这个周末去了一家餐馆，

伙计，现在你想好好谈谈这件事

，这样你就可以准备和学习

一些短语，比如我去了一家

餐馆 牛头人吃了美味的食物

关键是谈话中经常出现一些问题和

短语，所以

提前掌握它们是完全有意义的

，你总是可以提前计划并

准备你想要谈论的

事情，当你

知道的时候说话 该说什么如何回应，而且你

不会

很快失去谈话要点所以

你如何准备让我们跳到第二部分

本期的每月回顾 下次

我们将讨论如何开始

对话

语言学习者的谈话要点 大多数人不

喜欢听到这个，但始终如一的努力是

您语言学习的最大因素之一

成功

你选择的课程或方法也会产生影响，

但归根结底，你写作或

死于你投入的工作

学习语言所花的时间并不

一定决定

你每天花 3 小时学习的质量

如果您不积极

参与本视频中的语言，看电影并不能帮助您学习太多我们将

讨论

在学习时积极参与思想的 3 种方法 一种新的

语言 1 把你的大脑想象成一块肌肉，

你可能熟悉这句话

如果你最近去过当地的健身房，感觉烧灼感或者没有痛苦没有收获

你可能听说过这些

短语中的一个 或者看到它们贴在墙上

运动和锻炼的世界有一个想法，就是

你

在跑步或做

一些其他体育活动时感到的不适

是健康锻炼过程中带来的结果，

身体的肌肉

在微观上是有效的 平衡你感到的不适

是你的肌肉被推到

了极限这是

加强你的肌肉的极限推，所以随着

时间的推移，你在语言学习的环境中的表现会提高，把

你的大脑想象成一块

肌肉，就像我们需要推动一样

锻炼时的身体极限 我们还

需要在学习外语时突破心理极限

如果是这样，您是否感到疲倦甚至筋疲力尽 您已经

体验过将您的

大脑推出语言舒适区

的感觉 第二练习主动聆听

提高语言技能的最简单方法之一

是练习主动

聆听 主动聆听是当您

听别人讲你的目标

语言，你会尽力

理解你听到的内容 最好的

方法是使用

你在第一次听时无法完全理解的

音频 您在听完后仔细检查您的

理解 您

可以使用电影 YouTube 剪辑，甚至我们的

语言程序，

在练习期间每节课都有非常有用的成绩单

您应该

在第一次听音频时多听

几遍 如果可以的话 几乎没有

词对你来说很突出 只需在脑海中

记下

你第二次听时认出的任何词或声音，

你可能会 认得

比上一次多一点 期待

与你第三次甚至

第四次听的结果相似 在你达到

可以破译的单词上限后

继续看语言字幕

或成绩单 再次听音频 继续

阅读 与文本的可能性是

，您会在文本中看到您

知道但没有正确听到的

单词

当您

播放音频并阅读时，您也可能会遇到完全陌生的

单词 尝试猜测这些单词是什么

在您阅读了几次之后，从他们周围单词的上下文中理解，您可以

随意在字典或翻译应用程序中

查找剩余的不熟悉的单词

这种

积极的听力练习程序是

在挑选时提高听力和理解能力的好方法 在此过程中增加

一些新词汇，

它还可以让您在上下文中学习新单词，

这本身就是一种强大的

方法，可以帮助您记住所学的

第三个 p 与母语

人士练习 与母语人士一起练习

是提高语言

技能的缩影

如果您居住在

大都市地区，

那么当您学习外语时，很有可能附近有一些

当地的母语人士，如果您无法联系，请尝试

联系当地语言交流或聚会

小组以建立必要的联系

在当地找到一个练习

伙伴，然后您可以

在线搜索 有许多

网站可以帮助您找到并

与

来自世界各地的其他语言学习者建立联系 世界各地有大量的

语言学习者

已经学习或正在学习 第二

语言 您可能会找到

了解您的目标语言并

希望提高自己的语言

技能的人 s 同样，学习一门新语言

并不总是那么容易，但

在学习中

取得成果的是提高你的语言能力所带来的不适 不要

害怕走出你的舒适区，

你离你的距离越远

母语越接近

流利程度 还要记住，

语言学习在各方面都

像一次冒险 会有有趣的

时刻和时刻，当你感觉就像

在众所周知的溪流中游泳

时，保持头脑清醒

经历这些起起落落的时间足够长，您

将体验

到学习一门外语带来的无价的满足感

继续

前进 老实说，

如果您不

熟悉一门语言，那么学习一门新语言是很困难的

努力开始

流利使用该语言，

但是这一事实不应该让

您灰心，因为学习一门新语言

很难，在这个

视频中远非不可能 utline 五个提示，您可以使用这些提示

来快速开始您的语言学习

按照这些提示以高效和有效的方式学习您的

目标语言

第一个限制

您在练习时使用母语

这里的想法是，当您

与母语人士一起练习时，您 尽量

避免使用你的母语，

这通常越难你知道的越少，

但如果你能设法坚持

这条规则，

如果你承诺参加一个已知的母语

练习课程，你将获得一些巨大的回报，这不会是

容易

很可能会有一些

令人

沮丧的时刻 提升这个过程的能力与

在健身房锻炼并没有什么不同，只是用

举重

的身体燃烧代替瘦的精神燃烧 最终掌握一门新

语言的国王 如果没有痛苦

就没有收获

显然这没有母语规则

不必一成不变

有些时候

打破目标

语言框并解释一些东西会更有益

你用你的母语

但是这绝对应该是一个

例外而不是标准

数字，

因为

我们已经讨论了一个练习口语的好方法，所以我们已经讨论了一个练习口语的好方法，

让我们深入研究一下什么时候

说其中一个

在学习一门新语言时，您可以坚持的最佳承诺

是每周留出特定时间

练习说该语言，

理想情况下，这些口语

课程是在特定时间的固定日期，

如果您没有做到，则成为您每周例行活动的一部分

留出特定练习时间的要点 你

冒着语言练习

在繁忙

日程中落空的风险 我建议写下你的

练习 e时间并将其挂在

您随时可以看到的地方您也可以

在手机中输入时间并

设置闹钟重点是每天提醒

自己您的承诺，这样它就

不会掉到路边 第三个

变得挑剔 关于词汇 无论你是

和播客一起练习

咖啡店里的朋友还是老师 你会

遇到大量新的和不熟悉的

词汇 尽管你尽了最大的努力

你不太可能能够

确定每一个新单词或 短语你听到

并稍后研究它

因此你应该选择

你关注的

新单词你学到的每个新单词的定义质量

应该是它的实用性

在对话中对你来说单词或短语对你越有用

它越

重要 你学会了 不觉得你

必须把你的全部目标

语言都塞进一周的学习中

一步一步地学习

一些实用的单词

在你知道之前你会看到你的

词汇量 改进了第四 写

和练习短独白 这个技巧

会很有趣 首先选择一个

你喜欢讨论的话题，然后简单地

用你的目标语言写一个简短的独白或演讲

你会在这样做时注意到的第一

件事 可能是您的

语法和词汇中的漏洞，但是当您尝试

用外语写出您的想法时，

您可能不可避免地遇到

障碍，您可能无法

想到一个单词或不知道如何表达

特定的想法或意见

可能很棒，因为这些漏洞

正是您应该集中

学习的领域 您可以

在下一课中提出这些问题领域，或者

浏览您最喜欢的语言课程或

教科书以找到答案

寻找这些语言的不断过程

一旦你完成了你的短文

，练习背诵甚至记忆是一个好

主意 记住它

记忆会帮助你内化

你学到的新语法和词汇

背诵它会让你的舌头

和嘴巴习惯于第 5 号声音

在整个学习过程中保持最新的清单，列出你应该学习的内容

在你练习和学习时，总是有一个语言购物清单，

你很可能会遇到一些

你想说但不

知道如何说的东西，特别是如果你按照

我们之前的提示写下这个愿望清单

学习

通过课程或

播客获得的词汇的一件事，两者都很棒，

当你的词汇变得个人化时，会有点不同，

因为它们很实用，或者

因为你只是觉得它们

更有趣 与词汇相关，

你越有可能保留它 有些

人可能会告诉你

，无论出于何种原因，学习一门新语言是不可能的，

但重要的是要记住

你学习和参与的方式 使用一门语言会

极大地影响

您学习的速度或效率 它希望

加快您的语言学习
