Try to find material where the speaker doesn't speak too fast.

儘量尋找講話者語速不太快的材料。

Once you have the material, you're gonna listen to it to familiarize yourself with the speech.

拿到材料後，你要先聽一遍，熟悉演講內容。

You don't have to speak yet, just listen and make sure you understand everything.

你不必開口，只需傾聽，並確保你理解了一切。

Be sure to look up words and phrases you don't know.

一定要查找不認識的單詞和短語。

Now, if the speech is long, you don't have to listen to the whole thing.

現在，如果講話很長，你也不必聽完。

Just listen to the first 3 to 5 minutes.

只需聽前 3 到 5 分鐘。

After you finish listening, you're ready to begin your practice.

聽完之後，就可以開始練習了。

Play the speech from the beginning.

從頭開始播放演講。

This time, you're going to repeat after the speaker word for word.

這一次，你要一字不差地跟著演講者重複。

So after a few words, pause the audio and repeat what you hear out loud.

是以，聽完幾個單詞後，請暫停音頻，大聲重複您聽到的內容。

You don't have to wait until the end of each sentence because that might be too difficult.

您不必等到每句話結束，因為那可能太難了。

You can pause mid-sentence and repeat 4, 5, or 6 words at a time.

您可以中途暫停，一次重複 4、5 或 6 個單詞。

When you imitate, try to copy not only the words but also the rhythm, pronunciation, and the emotion in the voice.

模仿時，不僅要模仿單詞，還要模仿節奏、發音和聲音中的情感。

Copy everything so that you sound exactly like that person.

複製所有內容，讓自己的聲音與那個人一模一樣。

So that was one way to practice imitation, but this technique is flexible.

是以，這是練習模仿的一種方法，但這種技巧是靈活的。

As your speaking improves, you can make the practice more challenging to match your proficiency level.

隨著口語水準的提高，您可以根據自己的熟練程度增加練習的難度。

For example, instead of repeating a few words at a time, you can try to memorize and repeat one sentence at a time.

例如，與其一次重複幾個單詞，不如試著一次背誦和重複一個句子。

If you come across a very long sentence and you can't remember the exact words, that's okay.

如果你遇到一個很長的句子，卻記不住原話，沒關係。

The human brain is not very good at remembering individual words or small details, but it's good at remembering meaning or key information.

人腦不善於記憶單個單詞或小細節，但善於記憶意義或關鍵資訊。

So if you forget the original sentence, try to express the meaning in your own words.

是以，如果您忘記了原句，請試著用自己的話來表達意思。

For example, if the original sentence was, Walking alone in a dense forest at night is absolutely terrifying, you might say something like, Walking alone in a forest at night is very scary.

例如，如果原句是 "夜晚獨自在密林中行走絕對令人恐懼"，那麼你可以說 "夜晚獨自在密林中行走非常可怕"。

Or, if that's still too difficult, you can just say, Walking in a forest is scary.

或者，如果這還是太難，你可以直接說，在森林裡行走很可怕。

The process of expressing something in your own words is really helpful.

用自己的語言表達的過程真的很有幫助。

It improves your ability to improvise and find the right words to express yourself.

它能提高你的即興發揮能力，找到合適的詞語來表達自己。

As you can see, there's more than one way to practice imitation, so feel free to do it however you like.

正如你所看到的，模仿練習的方法不止一種，所以你可以隨心所欲地模仿。

The important thing is to always practice with input to ensure constant exposure to proper English.

重要的是，要經常進行輸入練習，確保不斷接觸正確的英語。

Now, although the imitation technique is powerful, it has a little problem.

現在，模仿技術雖然很強大，但也有一個小問題。

The problem is that you have to do everything by yourself, and the more challenging thing is finding the perfect material to practice with.

問題是，你必須獨自完成所有的事情，而更具挑戰性的事情是找到完美的練習材料。

If the material you're using is too difficult, you will have to find a different one that matches your level, and this can be quite frustrating.

如果你使用的材料太難，你就必須另找一種符合你水準的材料，這可能會讓你相當沮喪。

So, if you don't want to do everything by yourself, if you want a more convenient way to practice, let me talk about my English speaking course.

是以，如果您不想什麼都自己做，如果您想要更方便的練習方式，讓我來談談我的英語口語課程。

But first, I want to make it clear that you don't need this course to improve your spoken English.

但首先，我想說明的是，您並不需要通過本課程來提高英語口語。

Everything I've shared so far doesn't cost money.

到目前為止，我所分享的一切都不用花錢。

But if you want a simple solution where you don't need to find practice material on your own, then this course is for you.

但如果你想要一個簡單的解決方案，不需要自己尋找練習材料，那麼本課程就是為你準備的。

The course contains interactive video lessons.

課程包含互動視頻課程。

When you make a purchase and download the lessons to your phone or computer, you can start practicing right away.

購買並將課程下載到手機或電腦後，您就可以立即開始練習。

There are two types of lessons, question and answer lessons and imitation lessons.

課程分為問答式課程和模仿式課程兩種。

In a Q&A lesson, the teacher will ask you a series of questions.

在問答課上，老師會向您提出一系列問題。

Your job is to answer every question out loud.

你的任務就是大聲回答每一個問題。

After you answer each question, the teacher will then provide the correct answer so you can correct your mistakes.

回答完每個問題後，老師會給出正確答案，以便您糾正錯誤。

Let me show you a clip of me practicing with a Q&A lesson.

讓我給你們看一段我練習答疑的片段。

Hi there.

你們好

In this lesson, you're going to practice your speaking with a question and answer exercise.

在本課中，您將通過問答練習來練習口語。

To begin, let me tell you about a guy named Finn.

首先，讓我給你們講一個叫芬恩的人。

You don't have to speak yet.

你先別說話。

Just listen.

聽我說

Finn is 27 years old.

芬恩今年 27 歲。

He was born and raised in Chicago, but now he lives in Seattle.

他在芝加哥出生長大，現在住在西雅圖。

他在芝加哥出生並長大，這意味著他是在芝加哥長大的。

As you can see, Q&A lessons will train you to think and speak in English.

如您所見，Q&A 課程將訓練您用英語思考和說話。

Instead of just repeating after someone, you have to listen to each question, understand the meaning, and then respond with an answer.

你不能只是跟著別人重複，而是要傾聽每個問題，理解其含義，然後做出回答。

Also, because the teacher always provides the correct answer for each question, this allows you to correct any mistakes you make.

此外，由於老師總是會為每個問題提供正確答案，是以您可以糾正自己的任何錯誤。

Now, because the imitation technique is so powerful, we also have imitation lessons.

現在，由於模仿技術非常強大，我們也有了模仿課程。

In an imitation lesson, you will learn to speak natural English by imitating a native speaker.

在模仿課程中，您將通過模仿母語人士學習說自然的英語。

Here is a recording of me practicing an imitation lesson.

Every imitation lesson is paired with a Q&A lesson.

每節模仿課都配有問答課。

To make the training more effective, this course is structured based on the concept called progressive training.

為了使培訓更加有效，本課程採用了漸進式培訓的概念。

This means that the lessons will gradually become more challenging as you progress through the course.

這意味著，隨著課程的進展，課程將逐漸變得更具挑戰性。

This is important because if all the lessons have the same level of difficulty, you will get used to the training quickly and stop improving.

We don't want that.
