SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY 1 Simple Rule That Will Help You Speak English More Fluently Today
hey today i am going to teach you how to
speak english fluently like a native
english speaker using the simple rule of
threes now are you ready to finally
sound like a native english speaker and
speak english fluently
well then this lesson is for you
i’m teacher tiffany let’s jump right in
now this simple rule let me remind you
what the rule is my english teachers
taught me this rule
the rule goes like this provide enough
support for your thoughts
ideas or opinions by giving three
details
three examples
or three reasons this is how you speak
english fluently and start sounding like
a native english speaker so let’s look
at the first example and see how we can
use three details to speak english
fluently about a topic now here’s a
video clip the topic is your pet
tell me about your pet
now the response we have right here is
i have a dog now this response is good
but it’s not representing a fluent
english response because it’s very short
so we have to add again three details
so what are three details we can give
about our dog here we go the first
detail i’d like to give is this one
he was
the runt
of the litter the runt of the litter
detail two
he is very rambunctious
and detail number three
he is a pure bred golden retriever
so again we just listed three details
now we are going to use these three
details to give a fluent english
response
now part of the details included some
interesting words some words that maybe
you don’t know so let me explain some of
those words all right now i’ll read the
response the fluent english response and
as we get to the word i’ll tell you the
meaning so here’s the response using the
three details
you know
my current pet is a golden retriever
he actually was the runt of the litter
when i purchased him but now he is very
rambunctious
now real quick
what is runt let’s look at this word run
to see what it means so after me
runt
excellent one more time
runt
good now when we say runt in english
we’re just referring to an animal that
is smaller than average especially the
smallest in a litter right when a dog
gives birth they have several puppies
right but among those puppies there’s
one that’s really small and really weak
in english we call that puppy
a runt all right so again
runt excellent now the dog the golden
retriever was the runt of the litter but
again we have right here the word
rambunctious
so here we go
rambunctious after me the pronunciation
can be a little bit tricky
rambunctious
excellent last time
rambunctious
good job now this word rambunctious just
means difficult to control or handle
wildly boisterous easily excited very
excited all the time we call that animal
or individual a very rambunctious animal
or rambunctious individual make sense
all right now after me one last time
rambunctious
excellent all right so let’s go back now
to the response once again i’ll start
from the beginning my current pet is a
golden retriever he actually was the
runt of the litter when i purchased him
but now he is very rambunctious
i also found out recently that he is a
pure bred golden retriever now this is
the third detail but what does the word
pure bread mean so after me pure bread
excellent last time
pure bread
good job now purebred just means when
speaking about an animal right there
bread from parents of the same breed or
variety so my dog is a golden retriever
that means its mom was a golden
retriever and its dad was a golden
retriever pure bread the parents the mom
and the dad were from the same breed
alright makes sense all right after me
again one last time
pure bread
excellent so we have again the last
detail being pure bread but what
happened again we’re looking at three
details the first part of this simple
rule of threes to speak english fluently
we were able to give this fluent answer
using the three details very easily all
right now the next one we have again
part of this rule of threes remember we
had right here
three examples so let’s see one that
uses the examples all right here we go
we have this gorilla the topic is
animals at the zoo so what is the most
interesting animal to see
at the zoo
the response
i think gorillas are the most
interesting animals to see at the zoo
now that’s the response we’re giving it
makes sense oh
i think gorillas are the most
interesting
but if you stop there the person
listening the native english speaker
will not feel like you are a fluent
english speaker you have to go back to
the simple rule of threes and think wait
a minute
let me give three examples to support my
idea so when we go back we’re looking
again at the video
first example
they speaking of gorillas
try to interact with people at the
windows that’s the first example
second example
watching their babies cling to their
parents as human babies do
and third example
watching them being affectionate with
their trainers so we’re giving three
examples that support the thought we
have that wow gorillas are the most
interesting so how can we turn these
three examples into a fluent english
response here we go
here’s the response
one of the most interesting animals at
the zoo is a gorilla
when zoo visitors pass by their
enclosures
gorillas go to the glass barrier and try
to interact with them example number one
another interesting thing about gorillas
is how the babies cling to their parents
as they walk around
second example
and third you can also see gorillas
being affectionate with their trainers
as they clean their enclosures
all three examples are in our response
and that’s why it’s a fluent english
response now there are quite a few words
in this response that maybe you don’t
know so let me explain them very quickly
now the first word is
in
closures let’s go there real quick in
closure now real quick i want to pause
for a second because
a lot of times you need help with your
pronunciation so i want to remind you to
download the app right here english with
tiffany the link is right in my
description you can download the app and
i actually have pronunciation courses
inside of the app you can download the
app for free and start practicing to
improve your pronunciation so hit the
link in the description and get english
with tiffany the app so now we’re back
again and we’re looking at this word
enclosure i want you to repeat after me
enclosure
excellent last time after me
enclosure
excellent now this word enclosure just
means an area that is sealed off with an
artificial or natural barrier think
about when you go to the zoo that’s not
a natural habitat or not a natural area
for animals to exist in so in order for
us to enjoy looking at animals at the
zoo they have to make some barriers to
protect the animals and to protect us
they make
enclosures
make sense
alright so again after me
enclosure
excellent very good
now the other word we had was
interact all right so after me
interact
excellent last time
interact
very good now this word interact just
means to communicate with or react to to
communicate with or react to so gorillas
even though they cannot talk they’ll
come to the glass barrier and look at
people and try to interact with them or
communicate with them and people also
try to communicate with the gorillas in
english we say interact
excellent last time
interact
very good now the other word we had was
right here we said babies cling to their
parents so i want you to repeat after me
cling
good last time
cling
excellent now this word cling just means
to stick on to or hold something or
someone tightly
or to refuse to stop holding it him or
her think about a baby on a parent’s
back
holding on tight we say they are
clinging to their parents
makes sense right
all right so after me
cling
excellent very good now the last word
you’ll see the last sentence gorillas
being affectionate
a longer word but i want you to repeat
after me you can do it
affectionate
excellent last time after me
affectionate
good job now this word affection it just
means showing feelings of liking
or love
i remember my nephew
when he was a baby he was maybe about 10
months old there was a friend of ours at
our church
and the moment he saw her
he was in love so whenever she was
around he’d go to hug her and kiss her
cheek he loved her he liked to be
affectionate because he liked her so
maybe you show your affections or you’re
affectionate with your spouse because
you love him or her alright so last time
after me
affectionate
excellent good job so we have this
fluent english response because we used
three examples now again there’s one
more part to this rule of threes
remember we had three details
three examples
or three reasons to give a fluent
english response so
if we are looking at three
reasons
here’s the topic
service animals the question being
what is a good example of a service
animal now your response may be in my
opinion
police dogs are a good example of
service animals now remember
that response is fine it makes sense
however we want to give a fluent english
response which means we need to give
three details examples or in this case
three reasons so okay in my opinion the
dogs are very good and they’re very
helpful
what is my first reason the first reason
is
dogs are
inherently protective of their owners
reason number two
dogs have a keen sense of smell
and reason number three dogs run
extremely fast so they can apprehend
criminals faster than police on foot
again you see that we’re giving more
support
for our response by giving three
reasons why we feel that dogs are good
service animals
so what will our response look like if
we use these three reasons here we go
this is our response using the three
reasons you know in my opinion police
dogs are a good example of service
animals
the first reason is that dogs are
inherently
protective of their owners
their goal is to protect the cop they
have been assigned to which is very
important
another reason is that dogs have a keen
sense of smell
this means that dogs can detect odors
that humans cannot
finally
dogs can run extremely fast
this means that they apprehend and they
can apprehend criminals faster than
police can on foot you see what happened
right it’s amazing how the simple rule
of threes can help you start sounding
like a native english speaker just
remembering three details three examples
and in this example three reasons so
there are some words that i want to
explain to you that are in this example
the first one is
inherently
after me
inherently
excellent last time
inherently
good job now this just means in a way
that exists as a natural or basic part
of something so for example i really
enjoy drawing and painting now this is a
natural talent i have it because of my
dad he used to draw and paint my
sister’s also very artistic so
it’s inherent
right a natural ability all right we say
inherently makes sense
all right now the other word i want to
talk about is right here we said a keen
sense of smell so after me
keen
good last time
keen
excellent now this word keen just means
extreme
very strong or well developed so it
means dogs they can smell
things from far away they have a better
sense of smell than even human beings
they have a keen or strong sense of
smell so again last time after me
keen
very good very good
now what about
odor
dogs with the keen sense of smell can
detect
odors now after me
odor
excellent last time after me
older
good job now this word odor just means a
smell
but it’s often
unpleasant whoa no no
it does not smell good in english we say
older all right last time after me
older
good job good job now in the last
sentence the last two words are on
foot all right so real quick after me
on foot
excellent last time
on foot
good job now this just means if you go
somewhere on foot you walk or run
rather than using any other form of
transport so
instead of driving in your car or taking
a bus you decide to walk using your own
feet you’re going on foot make sense all
right last time after me
on foot
excellent very good so we’ve seen these
examples of the power of this simple
rule of threes if you want to speak
english fluently you must master this
simple rule
three details
three examples or three reasons and you
can start sounding like a native english
speaker don’t forget if you want to

guys i really hope you enjoyed today’s
lesson remember
master this rule and you will start
speaking english fluently i’ll see you
next week but as always remember to
speak english
you still there
you know what time it is sing it with me
it’s
story time hey i said it’s story time
all right guys so for today’s story you
know at the very beginning of the lesson
today we were talking about pets we
talked about a dog and a golden
retriever now i used to have a dog and
her name was snickers snickers was our
dog i was in high school when we got her
she was cute very loyal and she was fun
but i always had in my mind that you
know dogs
they’re man’s best friend but dogs were
the best pets
and when someone asked me about having a
bird as a pet
i said birds can’t really be good pets
because they just stay in their cages
that seems kind of boring i like the
fact that dogs kind of could be taken on
walks they could spend time with you i
liked the idea of a dog
but i had a friend that tried to
convince me that birds really are good
pets but
it didn’t really work the convincing
however
one day a family friend um had her kids
stay with us for a short period of time
about a week for a vacation while she
was gone so her son and her daughter
stayed with us and they just happened to
have a pet bird
now their pet bird was named matt
and he was probably about that big not a
big bird very small
when he came into the house i just said
okay he’s a bird he’s cute but i wasn’t
expecting anything because again in my
mind birds just stayed in their cages
and they were kind of a little boring
you gave them bird seed and that was it
but matt was different
so i remember the first day they were
with us
my friend the young boy he took matt out
of the cage i said okay i guess matt is
going to sit around because matt
couldn’t fly
so
matt started walking on the floor
following us into the room we were going
to watch tv in the living room so i said
okay he kind of follows us like a dog
does
so we we sat down and we were watching
tv and matt was just kind of sitting and
standing at our feet i said oh that’s
interesting the bird is kind of watching
tv
the next day
now on the next day that they were with
us my friend the young boy happened to
decide to stay upstairs
i wanted to watch tv and eat something
for lunch eat a snack actually but my
friend he wanted to stay upstairs now he
was younger than me more like a younger
brother
so
i decided to take the bird with me i
said okay i’ll take matt and see what he
wants to do
so
i was walking down the stairs and i
realized that matt was also walking down
the stairs like you know a bird just
hopping down the steps i said okay i
didn’t have to pick him up
so we got down the steps and we rounded
the corner to the living room and i laid
out a blanket because i figured maybe
you know i guess the bird wants to sit
on the blanket so i put the blanket out
and i decided to also lay down i got my
snacks and i said well maybe maybe matt
wants some snacks you see how my mind
was starting to change all of a sudden i
was taking care of this bird like it was
my dog snickers so i got matt some of
his little snacks and i was laying on
the ground on top of the blanket and i
had my snacks in front of me and i
turned the tv on to watch one of my
favorite shows
so i gave matt his snack and i was
assuming that he was in his own world
just eating his snacks and being a bird
so i found the show that i was going to
watch and i sat i laid kind of on the
ground on top of the blanket and i
started eating my snacks and i was
watching the show
but then something said tiff look to
your right
so i’m looking at the show and i turned
to my right and matt was doing the same
thing
i was eating out of my hand the snacks
and matt with his little beak kept his
eyes on the tv dipped down got food and
kept watching the tv we were watching tv
together and my mind was blown because i
said this is a bird again small bird but
i’m getting the same feelings i get when
i have my dog snickers with me
needless to say after a week of having
matt stay with us along with my two
friends
i fell in love with birds so much so
that to this day again
almost 20 if not more 20 more than 20
years later yeah a lot more than 20
years later i am thinking about birds
still so one day i plan on getting a
bird because of matt matt changed my
whole view of birds birds can be great
pets they can sit with you eat snacks
with you and watch tv too now maybe you
guys had a pet bird or maybe you have a
pet bird right now let us know in the
comment section what your favorite pet
is and if you have a bird let us know
what your experience has been alright
guys i really hope you enjoyed today’s
lesson i’ll talk to you next week have a
wonderful day
