hi there I'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and today we're trying
trying something a little bit different
different
different i
i recently put up a video or actually
actually was in an advanced listening
listening practice video here on the
the channel it's
it's the video with the dog on it
it and I was talking about answering
answering a question that i had received
received from a student and that was
was about how to describe things and
and how to develop fluency by giving
giving examples of things everyday
everyday things in English so because
because i put a comment down below
below that video that said if this
this gets over 100 likes this comment
comment feel free to go give that
that comment some more likes or just
just like this video if you enjoy
enjoy this kind of series I
I figured okay since that got over
over a hundred likes I will make this
this new series and we will try it
it out
it out so
so in this video i'm actually going
going to describe and just an everyday
everyday common thing a tennis ball
ball in the beginning in the intermediate
intermediate and the advanced wait
wait
wait so
so again these are just examples you
you don't have to express it in a
a particular way like that but in
in this video series if i decide to
to continue it if you enjoy this and
and hopefully if you do you like this
this video and continue to ask for
for more maybe you can put down a
a comment below this video asking
asking for a particular thing you'd
you'd like to learn more about but
but hopefully this video gives you
you a good sense of how to explain
explain things just using regular
regular conversational english so
so i won't i'll try to be fairly slow
slow about how I'm explaining things
things but just listen carefully and
and try to get the basic meaning of
of what I'm talking about so
so first we have the basic description
description of what this is a beginning
beginning English Learner might say
say this is a ball this
this is a tennis ball the color is
is yellow wish green yellowish green
green and the ball is fairly small
small
small it's
it's a small ball smaller than a basketball
basketball so a basketball a tennis
tennis ball so
so that's just a basic definition
definition something where I'm just
just talking about the ball i'm describing
describing the basic sighs and maybe
maybe shape and what it is that's
that's the basic way of explaining
explaining now
now more in intermediate way of explaining
explaining this maybe I talk a little
little bit more detailed Lee our in
in detail about the ball itself so
so here's an intermediate way of expressing
expressing this so this is a tennis
tennis ball it's got a round shape
shape and if you look carefully look
look closely you can see that the
the the texture of the ball is quite
quite fuzzy so
so it's got the the texture the texture
texture of the ball is fuzzy and the
the ball actually bounces very well
well
well so
so this is a tennis ball and you hit
hit the tennis ball with a tennis
tennis racket and you can volley the
the ball back and forth this is how
how you hit a ball when you're playing
playing tennis this is to volley something
something just like volleyball so
so you're hitting something back and
and forth when you volley something
something
something so
so this is a tennis ball it's got
got a kind of lime color to it a yellowish
yellowish green and it's got some
some dark green writing on here that
that says Cal flex and a number three
three
three so
so this is an intermediate way of
of describing something I'm going
going into a bit more detail about
about it but now i'm going to give
give the advanced way of its our the
the way kind of a native speaker would
would describe this notice how in
in the advanced way i'm talking about
about the the shape of the ball the
the description of it but maybe giving
giving some more information thats
thats related to that always try to
to practice giving more information
information about something if you
you can say just one thing try
try to say one more so if this is
is a ball you can say this is a small
small ball for this is my friends
friends
friends small
small ball so you're always adding
adding something more in giving yourself
yourself the ability to speak more
more fluently is fluent speech just
just means you can continue talking
talking about something even if you
you don't really know much about it
it so i have no prepared speech here
here I'm just holding this ball and
and describing it the way I would
would maybe to a friend of mine so
so I received this ball yesterday
yesterday this is a tennis ball actually
actually was from a friend of Mines
Mines tennis match so he was playing
playing a game and he actually won
won the game now
now you use lots of tennis balls in
in a match so he was happy to give
give me one I'm
I'm not much of a tennis player I'm
I'm not much of a tennis player so
so i don't really play tennis I'm
I'm not much of a tennis player but
but it's fun to play with the ball
ball
ball so
so I'm actually a baseball player
player and a baseball is slightly
slightly larger than tennis
tennis balls so this is the size of
of a tennis ball it's round it has
has a kind of lime ish greenish yellowish
yellowish color to it I
I guess it makes it easier to see
see especially if you're playing on
on maybe like a grass-court or something
something
something so
so the tennis ball is fairly easy
easy to see but a baseball is just
just white so
so it's really hard to see that when
when you're playing so a tennis ball
ball actually a tennis ball is a lot
lot of fun and since I'm a baseball
baseball player when I do go to a
a tennis court i try to hit the ball
ball as hard as I can out of the tennis
tennis court so we call this home
home run derby when you're playing
playing home run derby so
so again i'm just giving some basic
basic ideas about something just showing
showing what it looks like talking
talking about how it is we're talking
talking about the texture the shape
shape and maybe some experiences or
or something thats related to this
this ball
this ball so
so when you're just trying to practice
practice things like that on your
your own and think about ways where
where you can explain something make
make it easier for people to understand
understand but also to give you the
the training to be able to speak more
more fluently you
you have to continue adding more information
information and you have to practice
practice to develop fluency fluency
fluency does not mean learning more
more words it's the actual habit of
of being able to speak well
