Vol385.日常英语学习How Good Is Your English Pronunciation
获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888 How good is your English pronunciation? Let's find out. I will give you a pronunciation test that will test your ability to hear and to pronounce vowel sounds. I'm also going to teach you how to produce some of the trickiest vowel sounds that even advanced speakers often mispronounce. Most English classes don't teach pronunciation in detail. So, today we're going to work on both your listening skills and your pronunciation. Keep track of your score and let me know how many mistakes you made. And if you would like to truly master English pronunciation, at the end of this video, I will tell you more about my American accent training options, including how you can receive regular personalized feedback on your accent from me and one of my expert instructors without paying for expensive one-on-one training. All right, let's get started. Question 1 Let's look at the first question. Which word contains a vowel sound that is different from the others? Or, are they all the same? What do you think? The correct answer is foot. Listen to my pronunciation: food foot mood moon The double O spelling can be confusing. Sometimes it's pronounced as anoosound, as intoo,cool, orfood. You probably have the same sound in your language. But, sometimes the double O is pronounced as anuhsound.Uh, as infoot,book,should. Look at the shape of my mouth. For theoosound, my lips are pushed forward.Oo, oo.And theuhsound is called a neutral vowel sound. The tongue is relaxed and the lips are a little bit farther down in the back.Uh. Uh.And the lips are not very rounded at all. So, let's compare: Ooh: food Uh: foot, book, shouldQuestion 2 Let's go on to the next question. Which vowel sound is different in these four words? You say them. The first word is different. Listen: comma coma comb don't A comma is a punctuation mark.Don't forget to add the comma. And a coma is a medical state.The patient is in a coma. Did you get those correct? Question 3 Let's look at the next one. Which vowel sound is pronounced differently in these words? Or are they all the same? You say them first. They're all the same. Does that surprise you? Listen: hurt learn bird world That last one is commonly mispronounced: world. Some common words spelled with W-O-R are pronounced aser, er. Repeat after me: work worth word worm world Repeat after me:I work for a worldwide company. Question 4 Let's go on to the next question. Which word is pronounced with a different vowel sound from the rest? Or are they all the same? They're all the same. All four words have the same vowel sound. Let's practice. Repeat after me: cookie look put wool Wool is the trickiest one because the W requires you to round your lips.Wuh, wuh, but then you have to pull them back pretty quickly to get into theuhposition. Otherwise, it'll sound likewool. So, it's going to be like this:Wool. Wool.You say it: wool.I love your wool sweater.Wool. Question 5 Let's go on to the next question. Which word has a different vowel sound from the rest? Or are they all the same? The correct answer is pool. The last one is pronounced differently from the rest. Repeat after me: wood should look pool Did you get that one right? And by the way, would, could, and should are all pronounced with the same neutral vowel sound, theuhsound. That's a common mistake. Repeat after me:I would if I could. Question 6 Let's go on to the next question. Which word is pronounced with a different vowel sound from the rest? Or are they all pronounced the same? The correct answer is cost. Listen to my pronunciation: most post cost toast Did you get that one right? Words spelled with O-S-T can be pronounced in two different ways. For example, most, post, and host are pronounced with theOvowel sound. Make sure you sayO, it's notaw. It's notmast, it's most, post, host. But, cost, lost, and frost are pronounced with an open sound, anawsound. Cost.How much does it cost? I drove to the coast.Have you been saying them correctly? Let me know in the comments. Question 7 Let's go on to the next question. Which word has a different vowel sound, or are they the same? You say them first. The answer is they're all pronounced with the same vowel sound. Listen: no road flow old Make sure that you're not sayingaw. It's notnaw. It's no.No. Oh, no.Repeat after me:Oh, no. Don't go home. Question 8 Okay, let's go on to the next one. Which vowel sound is different? The third one, fill. Listen: weak week (Exact same pronunciation. Those two are homophones.) fill seen The third one, fill, is a neutral vowel sound. Your lips should be relaxed and your tongue is also relaxed in the back.Ih. Ih.Fill. Fill. Let's say these two words: feel / fill leave / live Have you been pronouncing them correctly? Question 9 Let's go on to the next one. Which vowel sound is different in these four words? You say them first. The correct answer is the same. They're all pronounced the same. Listen: fun sun come up It is the neutraluhsound. Repeat after me:My son had fun. It didn't come up.

Vol384.日常英语学习When You Want to Quit
获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888 Welcome, friends. Let me ask you one question. Are you tired today? I don't mean tired in your body. I mean tired in your heart. Maybe you tried something many times. You studied, you worked, you waited, and nothing changed. So, now a small voice in your head says, "Stop. It is too hard. Give up." If you hear this voice, this video is for you. Today, I will not tell you to be happy all the time. That is not real. Everyone feels tired. Everyone feels afraid. Everyone wants to quit sometimes. But, here is the good news. Feeling like quitting does not mean you must quit. In this video, I will share seven simple lessons. Each lesson has a short story. Each story has a clear solution. You can use them today at the exact moment when you want to stop. And there is something more. This video also helps your English. Every sentence is slow and simple. You will hear the important words again and again. Try. Keep going. One more step. When you hear a word many times, you remember it. So, you are not only learning how to never give up, you are learning English at the same time. At the end, I will give you new words with simple meanings. So, please stay until the end. Now, take a deep breath, get comfortable, let's begin. Lesson 1 Let me tell you something important. Feeling like quitting is normal. You are not weak. You are not strange. Many people who did big things felt the same way. Singers felt it. Doctors felt it. Writers felt it. They all said, "I want to stop." But, there is one small difference. They felt tired, and they still kept going. Here is a story. There was a young woman named Emma. She wanted to learn English. Every day she studied for 1 hour. She learned new words. She listened to podcasts. She practiced speaking. But after 3 months, she felt nothing had changed. When people spoke fast, she could not understand them. When she spoke, she made many mistakes. One night, she closed her book and said, "I am not good at this. I want to quit." She sat in silence for a long time. She felt sad. She felt tired. Then she looked at her notebook. It was full of pages, new words, new sentences, all written by her. 3 months ago, she could not say one full sentence in English. Now she could say many. She smiled a little. "Maybe I don't want to quit," she said. "Maybe I am just tired." The next day, she told her friend, "Last night, I almost quit." Her friend smiled and said, "But you didn't. And your English is better than before." Emma felt strong again. She kept going. 1 year later, Emma spoke English with confidence. Now, let's talk about the solution. Here are three simple steps. Step one, say the truth. Say it out loud, "I feel tired, but I am not done." Step two, look back. Think of three things you can do now that you could not do before. Write them down. You have come further than you think. Step three, tell someone. Talk to a friend or a family member. Say, "I want to quit, but I am trying to keep going." When you say it to another person, the feeling becomes lighter. Remember this: Feeling like quitting is normal, but quitting is a choice, and you can choose to keep going. Lesson 2 Many people want a big change. They want it fast, so they make a big plan. But a big plan is heavy, and when a plan is too heavy, we drop it. Here is a better idea. Small steps beat big jumps. Let me tell you a story. There was a man named Daniel. He was 40 years old. He did not exercise. He felt tired all the time. One morning, he looked in the mirror and said, "I will change my life. Starting today, I will run for 1 hour every day." On the first day, he ran very fast. After 20 minutes, his legs hurt. His chest hurt. He stopped and walked home. On the second day, his whole body was in pain. He stayed in bed. On the third day, he stayed in bed again. After 1 week, he said, "Running is not for me. I give up." But he was not happy. He still wanted to change. So he tried a new way. He made his goal very, very small. "I will run for only 5 minutes," he said. "Just five." 5 minutes was easy. He did it the next day, and the next day. Soon, running was a habit, like brushing his teeth. After 1 month, he ran for 20 minutes. After 6 months, he ran 5 km, and he did not feel pain. He felt strong. Daniel did not become strong in 1 day. He became strong one small step at a time. Now, let's talk about the solution. Here are three simple steps. Step one, make your goal tiny. If you want to read more, read one page. If you want to learn English, learn three new words. Make it so small that you cannot say no. Step two, do it every day. It is better to do a little every day than a lot one time. Every day is how a habit begins. Step three, add a little more. After 1 week, make it a bit bigger. One page becomes two pages. Three words become five. Slowly, you will grow. Remember this: Small steps beat big jumps. Keep going, one small step at a time.

Vol383.日常英语学习English Conversation Practice
获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888 Good afternoon, sir. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm doing my homework. Can you help me? Hello. Homework? I don't know. How do you want me to help you, son? I just need you to answer some questions, please. It's about your experiences. Please, please. My experiences? All right. I suppose I have some minutes. Tell me. Oh, thank you. I have a survey here. The teacher told us to complete the list of questions. Well, let's start. The first question is, have you ever smoked a cigarette? Cigarette? Well, yeah. I mean, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, but I have smoked cigarettes. Of course, I don't recommend anyone to smoke anything. Please. Also, I have to say it, I have smoked cigarettes, but I haven't smoked the other thing. The other thing? What do you mean? A different cigarette or something like that? No, no. I forgot you're a child. Never mind. Next question, please. If you say so. All right. Next question. Have you ever met a famous person? Of course. I have met Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Orlando Bloom. Wow, I can't believe it. Have you talked to them, or have you ever been together? I haven't talked to them. I have just seen them when they were working, acting, of course. Oh, I see. All right. And next question, has it ever snowed in your hometown? Well, I live in the city, but my brother lives in Europe, and I usually visit him in winter. And it has never snowed here since it has a tropical weather. But it has snowed in my brother's city. Interesting. What else? Oh, have you ever ridden a horse? A horse? Yeah. When I was younger, I used to go camping, and there's a place near here which has a big park with horses and other animals. It's beautiful. I have ridden a horse there many times. I've had a great experience there. All right. Um, have you or a friend done something embarrassing? Of course, we have. We have done many embarrassing things. Believe it or not, when I was in the school, I used to be a funny guy. Oh, I remember those times. I have knocked on the door of houses that were not mine, and then I have run away. I have laughed until the food came out of my nose. That was very embarrassing. They have laughed at me for wearing different shoes when I got up late to go to school. Oh, that has also happened to me once. I understand you. Yeah, I know. I could write a book with all the embarrassing moments in my life. Okay, thank you. Have you broken a bone in your body? Sure, I have. I used to play soccer. I have broken a leg many times. Nothing serious, of course, but I had to stop playing sports for a while. I hate it. Okay, next question. Have you learned to play a musical instrument? Oh, I have. I have learned how to play the guitar, the piano, and the violin. Wow, how have you done it? I mean, it must be difficult, right? It is. But I have had great teachers. It's all about passion. You know. If you like it, it's easier to learn something. I have learned very fast thanks to my teachers. I haven't learned how to play any instrument. But I promise I will learn how to play the piano someday. I'm sure you can make it. You look like an intelligent boy. So go for it. Learn to play the piano. Thank you, sir. Next question. Have you ever been on a blind date? You shouldn't be asking those kind of questions. You are a kid. I'm sorry, but it is part of my homework. That question is on my list. Okay, no problem. And yes. I have been on a blind date. Just once. And it hasn't been a good experience, I must say. I would never do something like that again. Wow. But why? Why would you never do something like that again? Don't be curious. You're too young to know these kind of things. Next question. Okay, okay. What is the strangest food you have eaten? The strangest food I have eaten? I don't remember, give me a minute. Oh, there is a type of food in Asia. It is made with egg and cinnamon. It is very weird. I have eaten many things in my life, but that has been the worst. Oh, okay. Next, has anyone ever thrown a surprise party for you? My wife, when she was alive, she did everything to make me happy. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Let's better go with the next question. What is the best movie you have ever seen? I haven't seen many movies. I am not a fan of watching movies on the TV or in the movie theater, but I have watched some videos on YouTube about how to learn languages. I love them. Yeah, me too. I have seen many videos. Have you ever done something silly that you wish you had not done? I don't like to regret the things I do, but there is one thing I regret. I have done some bad things in my life, and one of them is lie to the person I love. Please, for everyone who is watching this video, if you love someone, don't lie to him or her. Some things cannot be fixed. And one of them is lies. So, please don't make that mistake.
