Let's learn English at the…actually I'm just at home today.

I thought I would make a video today to help you plan for, to help you to get ready for

an English conversation.

I'll go over 5 tips, 5 things that you can prepare so the next time you need to talk

to someone in English you'll be ready.

Hey if this is your first time here don't forget to click the subscribe button below,

and give me a thumbs up at some point during this video if it's helping you learn English.

And, there's something new today.

If you go down to the description you'll actually find some extra examples and you'll

find some things that you can work on to improve the English that you're learning in this

video.

That's all down there in the description, you might have to scroll a little bit to see

it.

So a while ago I made a video on how to prepare, how to plan to have a good English conversation.

I really believe that it's a good idea to be ready to talk about certain things before

you end up having an English conversation with someone.

I'll put a link to that video up here, but in this video I'll give you 5 more things

that you can plan on, that you can work on to help you plan for a good English conversation.

So the first thing that you're going to want to be able to talk about are the things

that you like.

So you want to be able to use sentences like, “I like reading.”

“I like going to the library.”

“I like reading a book.”

Maybe no one will ask you this question, but you do want to be able to talk about the things

that you like doing.

Tip number 2, you want to be able to talk about the things that you love.

And hopefully you know the difference in English between “like” and “love”.

So for instance I like eating, but I love pizza.

Like is when you enjoy something this much and love is when you enjoy something this

much.

So you want to be able to talk about the things that you love.

So for instance if I was going to a party or if I knew I was going to have an English

conversation I would want to be ready to say, “I love pizza.”

“I love eating pizza.”

“I love taking a nap in the afternoon.”

So think of two things that you really, really, really love doing and be ready to talk about

them.

So that was, “like” and that was, “love”.

The third thing that you're going to want to be prepared to talk about are the things

that you want to do, or the things that you want.

So you're going to want to be able to make sentences and say sentences like, “I want

to learn to speak English fluently.”

“I want to graduate from University.”

You're going to just want to prepare for and be able to say to people the things that

you want because it's pretty common when people have a conversation for you to hear

questions like, “What do you want to do in the future?” and to hear answers like,

“I want to graduate from University.”

I'm pretty sure you want to become fluent in English which would be awesome.

So that was, “like” “love” “want”.

The fourth thing that we're going to talk about is the things that you are able to do,

the things that you can do.

So it's nice when you're preparing to have an English conversation to also be prepared

to talk about the things that you are able to do.

For instance you might say, “I can drive a car.”

“I can drive a motorcycle.”

“I am able to understand English.”

These are your competencies.

These are the things that you are good at.

These are the things that maybe in the past you wanted to do, and you worked really hard

at it, and now you are able to do them.

I am able to make videos to help people learn English and put them on Youtube.

So that was, “like”.

That was, “love”.

That was, “want”, and that was “to be able to” or the things you're able to

do.

The fifth thing that you are going to want to be ready to talk about are the things that

you have to do, the things that you must do.

There are many things in life where we have no choice and we must do them.

I must go to work every day.

I have to go to work every day.

I have to eat every day.

So you're going to want to be able to talk about some of the things in your life that

you have to do every day.

Well that was five things but don't leave yet because down there in the description

I have put some practice material because all of the five things we talked about can

also be put into the negative.

So you're going to want to practice how to talk about things you like, but also the

things that you don't like.

The things that you love, but the things you don't love.

The things that you want, but the things that you don't want.

The thing that you are able to do, and the things that you aren't able to do.

And the things that you have to do, and the things that you don't have to do.

So scroll down to the description and have a look there.
