Practise Your Speaking Skills | NEW Imitation Lessons | English Pronunciation & Expression


[Music]
hello I’m Emma from mmm English here on
the English YouTube channel I create
lessons to help you speak English more
clearly and confidently my students you
guys often ask me how can I improve my
speaking skills speaking confidently in
another language and improving those
skills requires a few different things
including clear pronunciation a good
range of vocabulary and expressions
including informal or colloquial
language that’s often not taught in
textbooks understand and use language as
its spoken naturally so in English that
includes the way that words link
together they contract and reduce how to
use interjections you know like you also
need confidence and bravery to use the
language aloud there’s a lot to think
about and improve right but why not
study all of these things together
naturally at the same time in the same
way that children learn to speak their
native language now that sounds like a
very efficient way to start making
improvements to your English speaking
skills the own English imitation lessons
are a really practical way to improve
all of these aspects of speech have you
practiced with these lessons yet
these are some of the new English
imitation lessons that are already
available but today I want to share one
of the latest imitation lessons they’ve
only just become available on the
English website this lesson is part of a
series of 10 imitation lessons where
you’ll
practice describing people and we do
this a lot don’t we we talk about our
friends our colleagues our family
strangers that you sat next to on the
bus being able to describe people well
is an essential part of speaking English
in some of these lessons you’ll be
describing people in a positive way in
others it might be a little bit negative
and obviously throughout all of these
lessons you’ll be learning lots of
adjectives and expressions to talk about
someone’s behavior their character
personality and feelings so do you want
to try about now if you’ve never
practiced with my imitation lessons
before then watch this video here for
clearer instructions on what you need to
do but I think that most of you have
already tried the English imitation
lessons so let’s jump straight in step
one in this step you just need to listen
to the conversation and read the
subtitles don’t you hate it when people
push in front of you in a queue
absolutely why did that happen to you
yeah at the zoo today
you know it’s school holidays so it’s
really busy this woman comes along
totally selfish with her three children
and you can tell like she’s really
annoyed because there’s so many people
but instead of going to the back of the
queue she decides she’s going to push in
didn’t anyone say anything well not at
first because she’s kind of standing
down this branch you know just like
pretending to be looking at the
information board like with all the
prices on it but then when the family at
the front has finished paying and like
they leave the counter she jumps right
in and calls their children over to join
her like no eye contact nothing just
straight in surely someone said
something
then Gooden back oh yeah I’m not just
one person like everybody had something
to say even the lady at the ticket
counter Stearns have right
I mean it’s so inconsiderate you know to
think like you’re so much more important
than everybody else you know and so you
don’t have to wait in the queue when
everybody else has to stand there and
wait right so what happened well she
tried to tell everyone that she didn’t
realize that there was a queue which is
completely untrue they ended up leaving
altogether I think she would have felt
really embarrassed about her behavior
and I felt so sorry for her kids too you
know you could see on their faces they
were so upset well I think she probably
learned her lesson then huh well yeah
hopefully but with people like that who
knows step 2
now it’s your turn you’ll hear the same
conversation again but this time you’re
going to imitate or copy the native
English speaker repeat what they say
aloud when the video pauses don’t you
hate it when people push in front of you
in a queue absolutely why does that
happen to you yeah at the zoo today
you know it’s school holidays so it’s
really busy
this woman comes along totally selfish
with her three children and you can tell
like she’s really annoyed because
there’s so many people
but instead of going to the back of the
queue
she decides she’s going to push in
didn’t anyone say anything well not at
first because she’s kind of standing
down the front
– no just like pretending to be looking
at the information board like with all
the prices on it
but then when the family at the front
has finished paying and like they leave
the counter
she jumps right in and calls her
children over to join her
like no eye contact nothing
just straight in
surely someone said something then
didn’t Becky oh yeah and not just one
person
like everybody had something to say even
the lady at the ticket counter
stones have right I mean it’s so
inconsiderate
you know to think like you’re so much
more important than everybody else
you know and so you don’t have to wait
in the queue
when everybody else has to stand there
and wait right
so what happened well she tried to tell
everyone that she didn’t realize that
there was a queue
which is completely untrue
they ended up leaving all together
I think she would have felt really
embarrassed about her behavior
and I felt so sorry for our kids too you
know
now you could see on their faces they
were so upset
well I think she probably learned her
lesson then ha well yeah hopefully
but with people like that who knows
step 3 now you need to shadow the native
speaker and this part usually takes a
bit of practice so don’t worry if you
don’t get it right the first time try to
speak at the same time as the native
speaker don’t you hate it when people
push in front of you in a queue
absolutely why did that happen to you
yeah at the zoo today
you know it’s school holidays so it’s
really busy this woman comes along
totally selfish with her three children
and you can tell like she’s really
annoyed because there’s so many people
but instead of going to the back of the
queue she decides she’s going to push in
didn’t anyone say anything well not at
first because she’s kind of standing
down the front you know just like
pretending to be looking at the
information board like with all the
prices on it but then when the family at
the front has finished paying and like
they leave the counter she jumps right
in and calls their children over to join
her like no eye contact nothing just
straight in surely someone said
something men didn’t Mac oh yeah I’m not
just one person like everybody had
something to say even the lady at the
ticket counter stands have right
I mean it’s so inconsiderate you know to
think like you’re so much more important
than everybody else you know and so you
don’t have to wait in the queue when
everybody else has to stand there and
wait right so what happened well she
tried to tell everyone that she didn’t
realize that there was a queue which is
completely untrue they ended up leaving
altogether I think she would have felt
really embarrassed about her behavior
