   Episode 20 ｜[全英] 為什麼口說比寫作難那麼多？四種方法，讓你破解口說困境！

   你也常常覺得自己寫email沒問題，為什麼一碰到口說就腦袋空白嗎？ 這集內容我們不只跟大家說原因，還要跟你們分享突破的方法！ 聽完後快點回去試試看吧：） ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Hello everyone, and welcome back to Voices on the Road. I’m your host, Chloe. But before we dive in, as always, you can find our full transcript in the show notes. If you want to take notes while listening, or if you want to learn more about Amie Road, feel free to click the link and check it out! Alright, let's get back to today's topic. Today, we are going to talk about the number one struggle for almost every language learner. I hear this from students all the time: "Chloe, I can read English perfectly. I can write long emails in English. But when I open my mouth to speak… my brain just stops working!" Does this sound like you? If it does, don't worry. You are completely normal. Today, we are going to talk about exactly why speaking is so much harder than writing, and of course, how we can improve it. So, why is there such a huge gap between our writing and our speaking? The answer is simple: The pressure of time. When you are writing an email, you have time. You can stop, think, open a dictionary, and check your grammar. You have the time to slowly walk down that "Memory Lane" we talked about in our last episode, and find the perfect word in your long-term memory. But speaking is spontaneous. It happens right now. When you are standing in front of a foreigner, they are looking at you, waiting for an answer. Suddenly, you feel this intense pressure. Because of this time pressure, you start to panic. Your brain doesn't feel like it has time to search your long-term memory. Instead, it tries to quickly grab words from your short-term memory. But remember what we learned about short-term memory? It drops information very quickly! So, what happens? You go blank. You forget the word, you hesitate, and you feel frustrated. Chloe: So, how do we fix this? How do we become better speakers? First, you have to practice retrieving words under pressure. You can do this by talking to yourself out loud. Tell yourself a story about your day while you are cooking dinner. By moving the muscles in your mouth, you are training your brain to find words faster. Second, use those "chunks" of language we talked about before—your Formulaic Competence! Don't try to build a sentence word by word while you are speaking. If you memorize a chunk like, "How's it going?" or "To be honest…", your brain can pull out the whole phrase in one second, without having to think about grammar. And finally, use your Strategic Competence to buy time! If you feel that time pressure, say, "Well, let me think about that for a second." Those extra three seconds will calm your brain down, lower the pressure, and give you time to find the word on your memory lane. Now, let’s move to our Vocabulary Corner. Here are five key expressions to help you talk about this common struggle. 1. Spontaneous This is an adjective. It means happening naturally and suddenly, without being planned. Example: "Speaking is much more spontaneous than writing." 2. Go blank This is a very common phrase. If your mind "goes blank," it means you suddenly cannot remember anything. Example: "I knew the answer, but when the teacher looked at me, my mind went blank." 3. Hesitate This is a verb. It means to pause before you say or do something, usually because you are nervous or unsure. Example: "It is completely normal to hesitate when you are speaking a new language." 4. Under pressure This phrase means feeling stressed because you have to do something quickly or well. Example: "Many students perform worse when they are put under pressure." 5. Overwhelming This is a great B2 adjective. It means something is so difficult or confusing that you feel you cannot handle it. Example: "Having a conversation with three native speakers at the same time can be overwhelming." 中文逐字稿： 那麼，為什麼我們的寫作與口說能力之間會有這麼巨大的差距呢？答案很簡單：時間壓力。 當你在寫電子郵件時，你有時間。你可以停下來思考、打開字典、檢查語法。你有時間漫步在我們上一集談到的「記憶長廊」（Memory Lane），並從長期記憶中找到最完美的詞彙。 但口說卻是「即興的」（spontaneous）。它發生在當下。 當你站在外國人面前，對方看著你、等待你的回答時，你突然會感受到一股巨大的壓力。因為這種時間壓力，你開始感到慌張。你的大腦覺得沒有時間去搜尋長期記憶，於是它試圖快速地從短期記憶中抓取詞彙。 但還記得我們之前學過關於短期記憶的內容嗎？它遺忘資訊的速度非常快！所以發生了什麼事？你的腦袋一片空白（go blank）。你忘記了單字、開始結巴（hesitate），並感到挫折。 那麼，我們該如何解決這個問題？我們該如何成為更好的說話者？ 首先，你必須練習在壓力下「提取」（retrieving）詞彙。你可以透過大聲對自己說話來練習。例如，當你在做晚餐時，對自己講述今天發生的故事。透過活動你嘴部的肌肉，你正在訓練你的大腦能更快地找到單字。 第二，使用我們之前談過的語言「組塊」（chunks）——也就是你的「慣用搭配能力」（Formulaic Competence）！當你在說話時，不要試圖逐字逐句地造句。如果你背下了像「How's it going?」（近來如何？）或「To be honest…」（老實說……）這樣的組塊，你的大腦只需一秒鐘就能提取出整個短語，而不需要去思考語法。 最後，運用你的「策略能力」（Strategic Competence）來爭取時間！如果你感覺到時間壓力，就說：「Well, let me think about that for a second.」（嗯，讓我考慮一下。）那多出來的三秒鐘能讓你冷靜下來，降低壓力，並給你足夠的時間在記憶長廊中找到那個單字。 Chloe：現在，讓我們進入「詞彙角落」。這裡有五個關鍵詞彙與短語，幫助你談論這種常見的困境： 1. Spontaneous (即興的、自發的) 這是一個形容詞，意指自然且突然發生，沒有經過事先計劃的。 例句：口說比寫作要即興得多。 2. Go blank (腦袋一片空白) 這是一個非常常見的片語。如果你的思緒「go blank」，意思是突然什麼都想不起來了。 例句：我本來知道答案，但當老師看著我時，我的腦袋卻一片空白。 3. Hesitate (猶豫、結巴) 這是一個動詞，指在說話或做事前停頓，通常是因為緊張或不確定。 例句：說一門新語言時，感到猶豫是非常正常的。 4. Under pressure (在壓力下) 這個片語指因為必須快速或完美地完成某事而感到壓力。 例句：許多學生在有壓力的情況下表現較差。 5. Overwhelming (令人難以承受的) 這是一個很棒的 B2 等級形容詞，意指某事太困難或太令人困惑，讓你覺得自己無法應付。 例句：同時與三位母語人士交談可能會讓人感到難以承受。 ＿＿＿＿ 如果你喜歡這集分享，想了解更多學習資訊，歡迎來找我們！ ▫️追蹤我們的IG: https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/ (https://www.instagram.com/amieroad_official/) ▫️官網看更多資訊：https://amieroad.com/ (https://amieroad.com/) ▫️加入官方Line了解課程：https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq (https://lin.ee/5VRMEiq) ▫️成為Amie Road VIP會員：https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9 (https://reurl.cc/OR9dN9) ▫️合作/投稿：contact@amieroad.com -- Hosting provided by SoundOn (https://www.soundon.fm/)

I’m your host, Chloe. Welcome to our new series, which is all about the latest Western trends! But before we dive in, as always, you can find our full transcript in the show notes. If you want to take notes while listening, or if you want to learn more about Amie Road, feel free to click the link and check it out! Alright, let's get back to today's topic. Do you remember during the pandemic when everyone was stuck at home, spraying alcohol on everything? During that time, a huge trend started on TikTok. It was the "Hot Girl" trend. People started using phrases like "Hot Girl Walk" for fitness and "Hot Girl Read" for the #BookTok community. Originally, these phrases were created to break stereotypes. They were words of female empowerment, encouraging girls to embrace their confidence and self-value. But recently, these positive internet phrases turned into a massive legal battle. Today, we are going to talk about the TikTok Trademark War, and learn the very important difference between a Trademark and a Copyright. Let's talk about what happened. A popular creator named Allie Rose quietly registered the phrase "Hot Girl Read" as her exclusive trademark. She started selling merchandise like bags and shirts. When people found out, the internet was furious. Why? Because "Hot Girl Read" was a common phrase that belonged to the public. By registering it, Allie Rose directly hurt countless small, independent creators who were also selling book-related items. Allie defended herself by saying, "I just don't want people to copy my original designs." But legal experts and the community quickly pointed out her mistake. If she wanted to protect a design, she should have applied for a Copyright, not a Trademark. So, what is the difference? A Copyright protects your expression. It protects original creative works like articles, paintings, books, and music. The goal is to reward the original creator. A Trademark, on the other hand, protects business identification. Think of a brand name, a logo, or product packaging. The goal of a trademark is to protect fair competition and stop consumers from getting confused. Here is the most important part: once you own a trademark, the law actually forces you to protect it. If you don't warn or sue people who use your trademark, the court will think you don't care about it, and you will lose your rights! Because Allie Rose used a trademark, she accidentally turned a "copyright victim mindset" into "trademark business bullying." Small creators couldn't make money from their own work anymore because they were afraid of being sued. The backlash against Allie was huge. People even dug up her past and found that she used to sell unauthorized merchandise herself! People were angry about her double standard. Eventually, Allie gave up the trademark and promised to donate her profits to charity. But the trust in the community is very hard to rebuild. And she is not the only one! Another creator, Mia Lind, who started the famous "Hot Girl Walk" (walking 4 miles a day while only thinking positive thoughts), also applied for a trademark. Soon, small creators who just organized walking events or created "Hot Girl Walk" Spotify playlists started receiving legal warnings. The internet is a shared space. When someone tries to put a price tag on a shared culture, things get very complicated! Now, let’s move to our Vocabulary Corner. Here are five key words from today's episode that are great for discussing news and social issues. 1. Trademark This is a noun. It is a name, symbol, or design that a company uses on its products and that cannot legally be used by anyone else. Example: "Nike's famous checkmark symbol is a registered trademark." 2. Copyright This is a noun. It is the legal right to control the production and selling of a book, play, film, photograph, or piece of music. Example: "You cannot use this song in your YouTube video because of copyright laws." 3. Empowerment This is a noun. It means the process of gaining freedom and power to do what you want or to control what happens to you. Example: "The movement focuses on female empowerment and building self-confidence." 4. Backlash This is a strong, negative public reaction against something that has happened. Example: "The company faced a huge backlash after they increased their prices." 5. Double standard This is a noun phrase. It means a rule or principle that is applied unfairly to different people or groups. Example: "People were angry at her double standard because she copied others in the past." Thank you for listening to Voices on The Road.
