Hi guys. Its Keith from IELTSspeakingsuccess. Here to give you the skills and confidence you need for the IELTS speaking test. And today, I want to share with you the fluency formula.

大家好。我是 IELTSspeakingsuccess 网页的基斯。下面就为你提供雅思口语考试所需的技巧和自信。今天，我想和大家分享流利的秘诀。

I want to show you three easy steps to speaking fluently just like this. Let"s get straight into it.

我想向你展示三个简单的步骤，让你像这样流利地说英语。让我们开始吧。

So today, I"m gonna share with you the fluency formula. This is a technique that I have learnt and developed.

今天，我要和你们分享流利的秘诀。这是我学习和形成的一种技巧。

Well, I don"t know if it"s mine actually, but I"ve developed it over the years and used it to speak the languages I speak fairly fluently and to help my students as well.?And it is so simple, the fluency formula.

我不知道这是不是我独有的，但我已经研究很多年了，用这个方法来让我说得相当流利的语言，也帮助我的学生。而且这个秘诀很简单。

So without beating around the bush, here it is. One, repeat.

不拐弯抹角，直接来吧。第一，反复练习。

Two, substitute. Three, make it true.

第二，替代。第三，真情实感。

It doesn"t get any easier. Now, I"ll explain to you exactly how this works, but first, we need to understand something called chunks right now.

一点都不容易。现在，我将向你们解释它是原理，但首先，我们需要理解一个叫做 chunks 的东西。

What are chunks? Chunk of bread? Chunk of language? Chunk is a piece of something, so a piece of language.

什么是 chunks？一块面包吗？一块语言？Chunk 是某物的一块，也可以说是语言的组成部分。

We can have lots of kinds of chunks, ok? We can have collocations, grammatical patterns, idioms, functions, phrasal verbs, all of these can be chunks.

这些组成部分有很多类型。有搭配用语，语法结构，习语，功能词，动词短语，所有这些都是语言的组成部分。

Two or three words usually put together as a chunk of language and this is the secret to language learning. It really is. But it"s so simple.

通常把两个或三个单词组合在一起就可以构成语言的一个部分，这就是学习语言的秘诀。确实是。但其实很简单。

So, let"s take grammatical patterns. Instead of learning "I + am + going + to", infinitive, we learn the chunk "I"m going to", "I"m going to", easy.

那么，让我们以语法结构为例。我们不学习“I +am+going+to”，不定式，而是学习“I"m going to”， “I"m going to”，简单吧。

"You should"ve", "you should"ve listened to me", "you should"ve". "I"d rather", "I"d rather not go".

“You should"ve”，“you should"ve listened to me”，“you should"ve”。“I"d rather”，“I"d rather not go”。

So, instead of thinking of grammar, we think of chunks: "I"m going to", "you should"ve", "I"d rather". And there are hundreds of chunks.

我们不会去想语法，而是整块的组合：“I"m going to”，“you should"ve”，“I"d rather”。有数百个组合。

We can also have chunks which are fillers and these are very common in conversational English. "The thing is. . .", right? Well, "you know". Oh, "by the way". . .

还有填充用语，这在英语会话中很常见。“The thing is...”，对吧？嗯，“you know”，噢，“by the way”。

And when we learn these, we don"t learn "by + the + way", we just learned the chunk "by the way". And to really learn this effectively, I think you have to focus on the listening to the sound: "by the way", "by the way"; don"t think of "by", "the", "way", three words, think of the sound "by the way", "by the way", "by the way".

我们学习这些的时候，我们不会这样学：by + the + way，而是整个短语“by the way”。要更有效率地学习它，我认为你需要注重听它的读音：“by the way”，“by the way”；不要想着“by”，“the”，“way”，三个词，而是它的读音“by the way”，“by the way”，“by the way”。

The more you say it, the more it sounds like one sound and that is what the chunk is all about. We also have phrasal verbs can be chunks.

你说得越多，它听起来就越像一个词的音，这就是语言组合。也有动词词组的组合。

"Let"s put it off", you link it all together, right? "Let"s put it off", "listen up", "I get up at 6 o"clock", sometimes "I get up at 7 o"clock", "I get up", right? It"s one sound, "I get up". That"s your chunk.

“Let"s put it off”，连读。“Let"s put it off”，“listen up”，“I get up at 6 o"clock”，有时候“I get up at 7 o"clock”，“I get up”，一个音，“I get up at”。这就是组合。

It"s a phrasal verb and it"s a chunk, "I get up". So, we"re going to look at taking the chunks and putting them into the fluency formula.

这是一个动词词组，是一个组合，“I get up”。我们要看看语言组合的流利秘诀是什么。

So, the fluency formula, as you remember, has three parts. Number one is. . . that"s right, repeat.

流利秘诀，你们应该记得，有三个部分。第一个是......没错，反复练习。

So, we take an example. So, here"s a grammatical chunk, right? "I want to", "I want to", "I want to go to Paris."

我们举个例子。这个是语法结构组合，对吧？“I want to”，“I want to”，“I want to go to Paris.”

So, the chunk is "I want to". We can make it meaningful, in this example, "go to Paris".

组合是“I want to”。我们可以使它有意义，在这个例子中，加上“go to Paris”。

Now, to repeat this, it doesn"t really work if you"re just reading it off a piece of paper, because then you miss so much. What you really need is to be listening a lot and to find listening or audio models.

要反复练习它，如果你只是从一张纸上读，并不真的有效，因为那样你会错过很多。你真正需要的是多听，并找到听力或音频模式。

So, if you"re listening to a podcast or a YouTube video or one of my model answers, there"s lots of those and lots of nice examples. You can pick out a chunk that you want to practice, maybe it"s a chunk you don"t feel confident with or a chunk you"re not very fluent with.

如果你在听播客或 YouTube 视频或我的示范答案，有很多这样的好例子。你可以选择一个你想练习的组合，也许是你不自信的组合，或者是你不太流利的组合。

This is a very simple example, right, but when you listen, you can pick up things around pronunciation and I think there are three things I recommend. One is the connected speech.

这是一个非常简单的例子，但是当你听的时候，你可以学到与发音有关的东西，我想我有三个建议。一个是连读。

So, "pick up", "pick up", the connected speech. "I want to", "want to", connects, right? "I want to", "I want to".

例如“pick up”，“pick up”，连读。“I want to”，“I want to”，连起来的，对吧？“I want to”，“I want to”。

Connected speech. Number one. Number two, pick up the stress, the word stress.

连读，第一个。第二个，学习到重读，单词重读。

"I want to go to Paris", "I want to go to Paris", "I want to go to Paris". You"ll notice that the weak forms of "to" is /t/, "to", again is /t/.

“I want to go to Paris”，“I want to go to Paris”，“I want to go to Paris”。你会注意到，“to”的弱读是/t/，“to”，读成/t/。

The weak forms come before the stress. So, it"s not "I want to/tu/ go to Paris".

弱读在重读之前。因此，不是“I want to/tu/ go to Paris”。

It"s "I want to/t/ go to/t/ Paris". "I want to/t/ go to/t/ Paris."

是“I want to/t/ go to/t/ Paris”。

So notice the stress. So number 1 notice the connected speech.

注意重读。第一，注意连读。

Number 2 notice the stress. And number 3 is notice the intonation or the rhythm if you like.

第二，注意重读。第三，注意语调，或者节奏，随你喜欢。

dee dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee dee. . . "I want to go to Paris.". . . . "I want to go to Paris."

dee dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee dee......“I want to go to Paris.”......“I want to go to Paris.”

I know we don"t speak like that but what we do actually, I mean when we practicing it"s useful to pick up on and learn this kind of intonation and and rhythm. So that is repeating.

我知道我们不那样说话，但我们实际上做的是，我的意思是，当我们练习的时候，注意学习这种语调和节奏是很有用的。这就是反复练习。

I, I know I"ve made it sound a bit complicated with all the pronunciation, but it"s just repeat. "I want to go to Paris."

我知道这个发音听起来有点复杂，但就是重复。“I want to go to Paris.”

Try, and again and again. Brilliant.

尝试，继续尝试，继续尝试。太棒了。

So just repeat it until the cows come home. No, just repeat it three or four times is enough.

你只要把这话重复一遍，直到永远。不，只要重复三到四次就足够了。

That is the first step. And what is happening here is it"s a bit like going down the gym.

这是第一步。这里发生的事情有点像去健身房。

It"s all muscle work. You"re training your muscles in your mouth and in your jaw and your lips to produce the English sounds.

都是肌肉运动。你在训练你的嘴、下巴和嘴唇的肌肉来发出英语发音。

Probably a lot of the sounds in your mother tongue are different and they use different muscles. So, this is a bit like going down the gym, right?

你的母语可能有很多不同的发音，它们使用不同的肌肉。所以，这就有点像去健身房，对吧？

"I want to go to Paris", "I want to go to Paris." You"re practicing the weights and the barbell.

“I want to go to Paris”，“I want to go to Paris.”你在练习举重和杠铃。

Great. Number one is repeating.

太棒了。第一个是反复练习。

Part, part, stage two of the fluency formula, copyright Keith O"Hare. Mm-hmm, no, it"s not. Really, share this with the world.

流利秘诀的第二阶段，版权归基斯·奥黑尔所有。呵呵，不是啦。认真的，向全世界分享这个秘诀。

Stage two is. . . Correct! Substitute.

第二阶段是......正确。替代。

Substitute. So, "I want to go to Paris".

替代。例如“I want to go to Paris”。

Substitute "go to Paris" for another place. "I want to go to Manchester."

用另一个地方代替“go to Paris”。“I want to go to Manchester.”

"I want to go to London." "I want to go to Australia."

“I want to go to London.”“I want to go to Australia.”

"I want to go to New York." Have a go.

“I want to go to New York.”试一下。

And again. And again.

再来。再来。

The secret is the practice, practice. Now, what"s happening here is not only is it muscle practice, but you"re starting to engage the brain a little bit just a little bit and you"re building flexibility.

秘诀是练习，练习。这里不仅仅是肌肉练习，而且你开始让大脑参与一点进来，你正在锻炼灵活性。

"I want to go to Paris." "I want to go to London."

“I want to go to Paris.”“I want to go to London.”

It"s great practice and you"ll notice you"re actually also practicing lots of place names, cities or countries. This is stage 2, substitution.

这是一个很好的练习，你会注意到你实际上也在练习很多地名、城市或国家。这是第二阶段，替代。

For example, "I want to go to London," "I want to go to the cinema," "I want to go home." That"s all we"re doing, substitute and repeat, okay?

例如，“I want to go to London，” “I want to go to the cinema，”“I want to go home.”我们做的就是这些，替代和反复练习。

If possible, try not to read this because you don"t want to be reading aloud. That is not gonna help you because "surprise" "surprise".

如果可能的话，尽量不要读，不要大声朗读。那样对你没有帮助，例如“surprise”，“surprise”。

When you go down the shop or the pub and speak to your friends, you don"t have your scripts written in front of you. It has to be up here, okay?

当你去商店或酒吧和你的朋友交谈时，你面前并没有你的剧本。它肯定是在这里的。

So, avoid reading. That"s substitution.

所以，避免读出来。那就是替代。

Number three, stage three of the fluency formula is. . . Very good! Well done!

第三，流利秘诀的第三阶段是......非常好！做得好！

Stage three is make it true. Make it true here, takes it a step further.

第三个阶段是真情实感。表达真情实感需要更进一步。

So not only are we working the muscles. Not only are we building flexibility, but we are now engaging the brain by thinking about what is true for me.

我们不仅在锻炼肌肉。不仅是锻炼灵活性，还有让我们的大脑思考自己的真实所想，让我们的大脑参与进来。

"I want to go to Paris." "Really? Do you really want to go to Paris or somewhere else?"

“我想去巴黎。”“真的吗？你真的想去巴黎还是别的地方？”

What is true for you? "Oh, I don"t want to go to Paris at all."

你的真实想法是什么？“噢，我根本不想去巴黎。”

"I want to go to Sydney." Make it true for you.

“我想去悉尼。”说出你的真实所想。

So, you create sentences that are true for you. If we went back before to "I want to go to London", maybe not, "I want to go to Sydney", "I want to go to Africa", the cinema? mmm, "I want to go to the theatre".

你要按照你的内心去造句。如果我们回到前面“我想去伦敦”，也许不，“我想去悉尼”，“我想去非洲”，电影院？嗯，“我想去剧院。”

And so here we make it true. Maybe "I want to go to Paris."

我们要说出真实想法。也许“我想去巴黎。”

"I want to go to the cinema." "I want to go out."

“我想去电影院。”“我想外出。”

"Actually, I don"t want to go to Paris." So, here you could be even changing the grammatical chunk if you want, but making it true.

“事实上，我不想去巴黎。”如果你愿意，你甚至可以把语法组合换掉，但要真实。

So, we bring it all together, we"ve got muscle practise, flexibility, and here engaging the brain, so we"re thinking. And these three steps can be done in probably under a minute with any chunk.

都有了，肌肉练习、灵活性、大脑参与，我们在思考。用任意的词语组合练习这三个步骤可以在一分钟内完成。

But it is a great start and foundation to build your fluency. Of course, you need to go the next step and get down the pub or the shop or the into the street and practicing with people so you"re reacting.

这是提高你的流利程度的一个很好的开始和基础。当然，你还需要更进一步，到酒吧、商店或大街上和人们练习。

But you"ve built up this great base for your fluency and it all sits around chunks, right? Chunks like "I want to show you", "three easy steps", "to speaking fluently", "just like this", "just like this".

但你已经为你的流利打下了良好的基础，而这一切都是关于语言组合的，对吧？像这些组合“I want to show you”，“three easy steps”，“to speaking fluently”，“just like this”，“just like this”。

I want to show you three easy steps to speaking fluently just like this. That"s how we build fluency.

我想向你展示三个简单的步骤，让你像这样流利地说英语。这就是我们提高流利度的方法。

That is the fluency formula. Don"t just sit there.

这就是流利的秘诀。别光坐在那儿。

Get out there, start practicing. It"s better to do five minutes every day rather than one hour once a week.

走出去，开始练习。最好是每天做五分钟，而不是一周做一小时。

Do a little bit every day and you will see your fluency really picking up. For the chunks, go and look at some sample answers.

每天练习一点，你会发现你的流利程度真的提高了。至于这些组合，去看看一些参考答案吧。

Go and find some audio and pick out the chunks you want to work on. Remember, don"t read, listen.

去找一些音频，然后挑出你想练习的部分。记住，不要读，要听。

That"s it. The fluency formula, have fun.

就是这样。流利的秘诀，好好享受。
