Background or Problem Statement

Context

Learning English can be challenging, especially if you don't live in an English-speaking country. Many learners struggle to find practical ways to incorporate new vocabulary and expressions into their daily conversations.

Problem

The main issue is that learners often lack exposure to the everyday language used by native speakers, making it difficult to speak fluently and naturally. This guide addresses this problem by providing practical steps to help you find and use real-life English words and phrases.

Key Point 1: Find Five Words Used by Native English Speakers

To speak English like a pro, start by identifying five words commonly used by native speakers in real-life situations. You might wonder how to find these words if you don't live in an English-speaking country. Here are some strategies:

Watch English TV shows and write down the words you hear.
Listen to podcasts and jot down interesting vocabulary.
Visit online forums where native speakers interact.

For example, let's look at five words I selected: focused, inquisitive, determined, prepared, and diligent. Write down these words along with their definitions. For instance, "focused" means having a clear and specific goal, giving all your attention and effort towards achieving it.

Key Point 2: Find Three Images of Real-Life Situations

Next, find three images depicting real-life situations. This step helps you visualize the context in which you might use the new words. Here’s how you can find these images:

Use Google to search for relevant images.
Take your own photos using your smartphone.
Browse social media for suitable pictures.

For example, I found three images: a mother and daughter baking bread, a group of friends working on a project, and three women who seem to have just finished a marathon. These images will help you practice using the new vocabulary in context.

Key Point 3: Describe the Images Using Each of the Five Words

Now, use the words from step one to describe the images from step two. This exercise helps you integrate the new vocabulary into your speaking practice. Here’s how:

Describe the actions of people in the pictures.
Look at their facial expressions and guess their thoughts.
Think about what might have happened before the picture was taken.

For example:

The young mother was focused on making a delicious loaf of bread with her daughter.
Her daughter watched her carefully because she was inquisitive about the process.
Despite a few setbacks, the young mother remained determined to make the perfect loaf of bread.
She wanted to make the baking process go smoothly, so she prepared all the necessary ingredients ahead of time.
Throughout the entire baking process, the mother and her daughter were diligent in their efforts to make a great loaf of bread.
