English Podcast for Learning Conversation 💬 | English Speaking Practice 🎤

0:04 [Music] Hello English learners and welcome

0:08 back to the English Easy Practice podcast.

0:11 I'm Emily and I'm Mike.

0:13 We're really happy you're here with us today.

0:16 In this podcast, we talk about real everyday English.

0:21 We help you learn useful words and phrases for daily life.

0:26 That's right.

0:26 And today's topic is very special.

0:29 It's called the power of positive thinking.

0:33 Change your mindset, change your life.

0:36 We're going to talk about how having

0:37 a positive attitude can help you learn better,

0:40 feel better, and do better in life.

0:44 So, if you sometimes feel tired, stressed,

0:47 or worried about learning English, don't worry.

0:50 We're here to help you stay strong and motivated.

0:54 Today's episode will help you in two big ways.

0:58 First, it will help you practice listening and speaking in English.

1:03 And second, we hope it gives you motivation to stay positive and never give up.

1:10 So, get ready.

1:11 We'll start with a short conversation that's full of helpful English.

1:16 Then, we'll learn new vocabulary,

1:18 ask you some easy questions, and do shadowing practice together.

1:23 Let's have fun and let's learn together.

1:29 [Music] The power of positive thinking.

1:40 [Music] Hi Mark, why are you always so happy and motivated?

1:49 Because I believe in positive thinking.

1:53 When I think good thoughts, I feel stronger and learn better.

1:58 Really?

1:59 Does it help with studying?

2:03 Yes.

2:03 If I say I can do this, instead of this is too hard, my brain works better.

2:11 Positive thoughts make learning easier.

2:15 But what if I fail?

2:18 Failure is just the step to success.

2:22 Positive people see mistakes as lessons.

2:26 They try again and improve.

2:30 That sounds nice.

2:32 How can I start?

2:35 First, smile more.

2:38 Then replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

2:44 Say, I will try my best every day.

2:48 Okay, I'll try.

2:51 Maybe my grades will improve, too.

2:56 Exactly.

2:57 A positive mindset changes everything.

3:01 You'll see success soon.

3:04 Thanks, Mark.

3:05 I feel more hopeful already.

3:09 [Music] So before we learn new words,

3:16 let's talk more about today's topic, positive thinking.

3:21 Mike, do you believe that changing your mindset can change your life?

3:26 Yes, I really do.

3:29 When we think in a positive way, we feel better.

3:32 We're more confident, more open to learning, and we don't give up so easily.

3:37 That's so true.

3:39 I've seen many students who say, "I can't do this," or, "My English is

3:45 bad." But when they change their mindset and say, "I will try my best," or, "I'm

3:51 improving every day," their English gets much better.

3:56 Exactly.

3:57 Positive thinking helps your brain stay calm.

4:01 When you feel good, you remember more, speak more clearly, and learn faster.

4:06 It's not magic.

4:07 It's a real change in how your mind works.

4:11 And it's okay to make mistakes.

4:13 Positive people don't feel bad when they make a mistake.

4:16 They just say, "That's okay.

4:19 I'll try again." Right?

4:21 So, if you're listening right now and you

4:23 sometimes feel shy or scared, remember this.

4:27 You can change your life by changing how you think.

4:31 Say good things to yourself.

4:33 Be kind to yourself.

4:35 And every day, take one small step forward.

4:40 All right.

4:40 Now, let's learn some great words from today's conversation.

4:46 Let's start our vocabulary section.

4:49 Yeah, these words will help you understand and use English better in real life.

5:00 [Music] Vocabulary thoughts.

5:07 A thought is something you think in your mind.

5:09 It can be a good idea or a feeling.

5:14 Example, I try to think happy thoughts when I feel sad.

5:21 Replace.

5:22 To replace means to take one thing away and put something new in its place.

5:29 Example, I replaced my old phone with a new one.

5:36 Grades.

5:37 Grades are the scores or marks you get in school or on a test.

5:43 Example, if I study every day, my grades will get better.

5:51 Mindset.

5:52 Your mindset is the way you think about things, your attitude.

5:59 Example, with a positive mindset, you can learn anything.

6:07 Great job.

6:08 Now that you know these words, it's time to practice speaking.

6:13 Let's go to the next part.

6:15 Speaking practice with the listen and answer method.

6:25 Now it's time to practice speaking.

6:28 We'll ask you some easy questions about the conversation between Anna and Mark.

6:34 After each question, pause the video and say your answer out loud.

6:39 Speaking out loud is very important.

6:42 It helps you train your mouth and brain to speak English more easily.

6:48 If you don't know the answer, no problem.

6:51 Just listen and repeat.

6:53 You can watch this part many times.

6:56 The more you repeat this practice, the faster your English will improve.

7:01 So, don't be shy.

7:02 Say your answers with a smile and keep going.

7:10 Answer the questions out [Music] loud.

7:15 Hi Mark, why are you always so happy and motivated?

7:22 Was Anna happy and motivated?

7:26 No, she wasn't.

7:28 She wasn't happy and motivated.

7:33 Who was happy and motivated?

12:17 How does Anna feel at the end of the conversation?

12:23 Hopeful.

12:24 She feels more hopeful.

12:29 Now, let's practice shadowing.

12:32 You'll hear one speaker's line.

12:34 Listen carefully, then say it out loud.

12:38 After that, read the other speaker's line yourself.

12:41 You'll take turns speaking both parts of the conversation.

12:46 If it's too fast, just pause or slow down the video.

12:50 Repeat this practice often.

12:52 Shadowing helps you speak more clearly, naturally, and with confidence.

13:04 Hi Mark.

13:05 Why are you always so happy and motivated?

13:20 Really?

13:21 Does it help with studying?

13:54 How can I start?

14:10 Okay, I'll try.

14:13 Maybe my grades will improve, too.

14:25 Thanks, Mark.

14:26 I feel more hopeful already because I believe in positive thinking.

14:42 When I think good thoughts, I feel stronger and learn better.

14:52 Yes, if I say I can do this instead of this is too hard, my brain works better.

15:00 Positive thoughts make learning easier.

15:08 Failure is just a step to success.

15:12 Positive people see mistakes as lessons.

15:16 They try again and improve.

15:25 First smile more, then replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
