MASTER ENGLISH FLUENCY WITH THIS EASY RULE

Hey, in this week's English lesson, I'm going to teach you a simple rule.

This rule is going to help you speak English more fluently.

It's the simple rule of threes.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

All right.

So here's the simple intro to this rule.

My English teachers, when I was in high.

School, and even when I was in college, they taught this rule to

me and every other English student.

So native English speakers already know this rule, and now

it's time for you to master it.

Here's the simple rule, provide enough support for your thoughts, your ideas

and opinions by giving three details.

Three examples, or three reasons you heard me, right?

This simple rule right here is going to change your English.

Let me explain it a little bit more.

Starting with part number one, three details.

So the first part of this rule focuses on the important details

of the topic, the subject, or person that you are discussing.

In other words, you, my friend want to help your listener visualize

what you are talking about.

So what does this actually look like?

Let's look at this example right here.

We have a video example, and we're going to use.

This simple rule of threes, the first part to describe it.

So here's the topic activities in the evening.

The question being, what is your favorite thing to do in the evening?

Now we're going to answer this question by using three details.

Here's detail number one.

Now, again, good book is a detail detail.

Number two, cozy.

Blanket and detail number three, cup of hot tea.

Now we're going to use these three details to give a long response, a fluent English

response, but look at the simple response that does not include the details.

Here's a simple response.

My favorite thing to do in the evening is to relax.

Now, my friend, this is a good answer.

It's true.

It answered the question, but we are trying to give a fluent English

response using the simple rule of three.

So we have the three details, good book, cozy blanket, cup of hot tea.

Now using these three details, what would the answer look like?

Here's what the answer would look like, including these three details.

My favorite thing to do in the evening is to relax on the couch with a good book,

a cozy blanket, and a cup of hot tea.

All of a sudden now you're able to visualize.

Me relaxing in the evening.

Now I do want to explain this word cozy.

All right.

So after me, cozy, excellent.

Again, cozy.

Very good.

Now this word cozy right here, it just refers to.

A feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation.

It is often associated with the snug and comforting environment, such

as being wrapped in a soft and warm blanket or enjoying a cozy fireplace.

On a winter day.

Now, remember, we just looked at the video clip.

If you're watching this lesson with the young man sitting on his couch,

drinking a cup of hot tea, and now we're describing this scene for

the individual we're speaking to.

So once again, my favorite thing to do in the evening.

It's to relax on the couch with a good book, a cozy

blanket, and a cup of hot tea.

We're talking about the simple rule of threes, and we're looking at part

one, three details, but what about the second part of this simple rule?

Here's the second part of the rule.

Three examples.

The second part of this rule focuses on examples of the topic, subject,

or person you are discussing.

In other words, you want to help your listener understand more by giving

them real life example situations.

Remember this simple rule is going to change your English fluency.

So here we go.

I want you to check out this video example.

Again, the question and the topic activities in the evening.

What is your favorite thing to do in the evening?

Basic response.

My favorite thing to do in the evening is to relax.

Notice.

We're still using the basic response.

Now we're going to use the simple rule of threes to transform it.

So here's example, number one, curl up on the couch with a

captivating book or novel example.

Number two, my cozy blanket envelopes me in warmth,

creating the perfect atmosphere.

And example, number three, I enjoy sipping my tea as I read my novel.

Remember we're on part two of this simple rule of threes

and we're looking at examples.

So now we have these three examples.

What would this look like in an actual answer?

Here's the answer.

And I want you to listen very closely.

In the evening, I absolutely love to curl up on the couch with a captivating

novel, a very interesting novel.

There's just something amazing about getting lost in a fictional world.

As I lose track of time, my cozy blanket envelops me in warmth,

creating the perfect atmosphere.

To complete this delightful experience.

I always make sure to have a piping hot cup of tea nearby, whether it's a soothing

chamomile or a fragrant Earl gray, I enjoy sipping my tea as I read my novel.

Now, my friend, I know you stepped on in to my situation, right?

As I explained what was going on, I gave you clear examples.

Now I want to describe and explain some of the words and terms that were used.

The first one is lose.

Track of time after me, lose track of time.

Great job.

Now this just means to become unaware of the passing of time or to be so

engrossed or absorbed in activity that one loses awareness of the time passing.

This happens to me a lot when I'm drawing, when I'm painting,

when I'm spending time with.

Friends, I lose track of time.

Oh my goodness.

I didn't even realize two hours went by in English.

We say lose track of time.

And what about the other word that I used?

In vel up good again, in vel up.

Excellent.

Now this just means to completely surround or wrap something or someone

typically in a covering or an atmosphere.

Remember I said my cozy blanket envelopes me in warmth.

In English, we say in velop.

Good job.

All right.

The next thing I said, I said piping hot cup of tea.

So after me piping hot.

Good job.

I love it.

Now, piping hot.

It just means very hot, boiling or extremely heated.

You have to blow on your cup.

If you're drinking piping hot tea.

Right.

Excellent.

All right.

And finally I said, I enjoy sipping my tea as I read my novel.

So after me sip, good job again, sip.

Excellent.

Now this just means to drink a beverage by taking small mouthfuls

or swallows, or to drink slowly.

And in small quantities in English, we say sip.

Good job.

Good job.

So again, you're seeing how we're using this.

Simple rule of threes to truly give fluent English responses.

Once again, part two, three examples.

Now it's time for us to move to part three of this simple rule.

Part three is three reasons.

The third part of this rule focuses on giving specific reasons for

your ideas on the topic, subject, or person you are discussing.

In other words, you want to help your listener understand your thought

process and how you developed your idea.

Remember this simple rule of threes is going to help you starting

today, speak English more fluently.

Remember this rule and I guarantee it will transform the way you speak English.

So.

Same situation, activities in the evening.

What is your favorite thing to do in the evening?

The simple response.

My favorite thing to do in the evening is to relax.

We have the same response.

Now we're using part three of our rule.

Here's the first reason allows me to escape from the stresses of the day.

Reason two, snuggling under a soft blanket creates a sense of comfort and relaxation.

And reason number three, sipping a cup of tea warms me up and enhances

the overall cozy experience.

I'm giving reasons.

For my response, part of this simple rule of threes.

So what will this look like in a fluent English response?

Here's the response, including those three reasons.

I find that my favorite thing to do in the evening is reading because firstly,

it allows me to escape from the stresses of the day and transport myself.

To different worlds and adventures.

Secondly, the act of snuggling under a soft blanket creates a

sense of comfort and relaxation that makes it even more enjoyable.

Finally, sipping a cup of hot tea while engrossed in a book.

Adds another layer of pleasure as it not only warms me up, but also

enhances the overall cozy experience.

Come on now, that's an amazing English response, a fluent English response that

any native English speaker would give.

And all we did was use the simple rule of threes.

Part three being three reasons.

Now I want to break down some of the terms used in this response.

The first one is transport.

Excellent.

Again, transport.

Great job.

Now it means to mentally or emotionally carry someone to a different

place, situation, or experience.

It refers to the act of being deeply engrossed in something

to the extent that it feels like being transported to another world.

Or time in English, we say transport.

Good job.

Excellent.

The next word I used was snuggle.

Good again, snuggle.

Excellent.

It just means to get close and cozy with someone or something to snuggle up.

Usually by nestling or cuddling up against them or it, it implies seeking warmth.

Comfort and affection by getting physically close to someone or something.

In English, we say snuggle, just like I said, secondly, the act of

snuggling under a soft blanket.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right.

And then I said, add another layer.

Good again, add another layer.

Excellent.

Now this expression just means to introduce an additional aspect or

element that enriches or deepens an experience, idea, or situation.

It suggests enhancing or expanding upon something by incorporating another

dimension or a level of complexity.

In English, we say add another layer.

Again, I said, while engrossed in a book adds another layer of pleasure.

I was already enjoying the experience of snuggling up in my blanket, but

now engrossing myself in this novel adds another layer of pleasure.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right, here we go.

The last word I want to explain is enhance good again, enhance excellent.

Now this just means to improve or amplify the quality value

or effectiveness of something.

It involves making something better, stronger, or more desirable

by adding elements or features that enhance its overall impact.

Or appeal to make something better or have a greater impact.

Make sense.

Excellent.

All right.

So again, you understand the words and you see how the three reasons helped

us expand our response and make it more of a fluent English response.

I hope you enjoyed today's lesson.

Haha, you know what time it is.

It's story time.

Hey, I said, it's story time one more time.

I said, it's story time.

Hey, I said, it's story time.

All right.

So I had another story planned for you, but this one just popped up.

It happened yesterday.

So I'm going to tell you this story.

So I enjoy delicious food.

Listen, you understand I'm a foodie.

I've told you this before.

And my friend, maybe you're a foodie as well.

Are you a foodie?

Okay.

You like good food as well.

So yesterday, spur of the moment, my mom and I went to lunch together.

I was at home working and I called her.

And And she mentioned going to lunch and I said, yes, let's do it.

So I finished my work up in the morning and at around 1230, I went

to meet my mom at a restaurant.

There's this new vegan restaurant.

It's vegan Asian food, not too far from my house.

So I said, Hey mommy, after your doctor's appointment, meet me at this restaurant.

Now, my mom is an amazing cook.

And sometimes when you're an amazing cook, you're very particular

with the food you eat when you go outside of your home, right?

Because you know how to season food properly.

So my mom is a little picky when it comes to food.

So I knew that.

So I was a little bit nervous.

Ah, maybe she'll like this restaurant.

Maybe she won't.

My sister and I absolutely love it.

My nieces love it.

So I said, maybe my mom will like it.

So we get to the restaurant and I ordered before my mom got there.

I ordered the things that I like.

And my sister, like I said, okay, these have been winners with me and my sister.

Hopefully my mom will like them as well.

So my mom arrives, puts her purse down her jacket, and then goes to

the bathroom and comes back and we're just chit chatting it up, just

talking and the food arrives one dish.

Two dishes, three dishes, four dishes, and they're placed in front of us.

And I see my mom, Oh, Oh, okay.

Okay.

Just kind of looking at the dishes.

I'm still like, Ooh, I hope she'll like them.

So she takes her fork out and she, you know, put some of the food onto her plate.

And so we continue our conversation and she puts the fork to her mouth.

One of my favorite dishes, she puts the fork to her mouth and says, Hmm.

Wait a minute.

Now I'll tell you something about African Americans.

When something is delicious, we don't smile.

We frown.

Let me explain.

If something is real good, we do this.

Whoa, wait a minute.

That's letting you know that this fool right here is good.

So I saw that frown come on her face and I said, okay, we're doing good.

And then the heat kicked in.

So my family, we like spicy food, right?

So she bit into it.

The frown came.

She said, It is spicy too, yes.

So I was happy.

I knew she liked it.

Now we kept eating and she looked happy and then I had to get up to get a napkin.

So I stood up to walk up to get some napkins and on my way

back, my mom's back was to me.

She couldn't see me, but I could see her and I saw my mom doing this.

I mean, the shoulders were dipping.

She was just a shimming.

And I bust out laughing.

I said, , I guess you like it, mommy.

She said, Ooh, girl, I love it.

So we had a wonderful meal together yesterday.

My mom.

Everything that was ordered and it made me happy.

I sent all of the leftovers home with her because I was happy that my mom who cooks

so well and who blesses me, my sister and my whole family all the time with great

food finally was able to eat something she hadn't cooked, but she actually loved.

So I hope you enjoyed today's story and I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
