YET - Use and meaning in English


source: Crown Academy of English    2017年8月1日
"yet" is an adverb and conjunction. A conjunction joins together phrases, clauses or sentences. “yet” as a conjunction means ‘but’ or ‘nevertheless’. It shows contrast with the first part of the sentence.
Example: Mark doesn't like Jane, yet he often talks to her. When “yet” is an adverb, it is often used in a NEGATIVE sentence. The meaning is to describe something that has not happened in the past / is not happening in the present. We expect it to happen or to be true in the future. We also often use "yet" in a QUESTION to ask if something has happened / is happening or true in the past or present. We expect it to happen or be true in the future. We often use “yet” with the present perfect tense and other perfect tenses.
We also sometimes use it in the present tense. We may also use “yet” with affirmative (positive) sentences but this is less common. This use describes a situation that is continuing even when we think the situation will not continue.
“yet” with superlative adjectives describe something that is the best, worst, biggest etc from the past up until the present time. “yet” as an adverb – position in a sentence “yet” is usually at the end of the sentence. However, for negative sentences, we can put "yet" immediately after the word "not" In this video, I give a detailed explanation of all of the rules with several examples. There are subtitles / text on the screen to help you follow the class. The accent is British English, spoken by a native speaker.

My 8 Favourite English Adjectives | Improve Your Vocabulary | Describing...


source: mmmEnglish    2017年8月12日
To be expressive, to show emotion and feeling and to sound more interesting when you use English, your need to start pushing your vocabulary further. Saying something is nice or beautiful is good… But adjectives like magnificent, remarkable or inspirational are so much stronger and more meaningful!
You already know what an adjective is - there are lots of them in English! They are used to describe or give more information about a noun. One of the most common mistakes that English learners make is about where to put an adjective in a sentence.
In English, you need to use adjectives like this: a/an + adjective + noun A remarkable woman. A thoughtful child. This structure is very common too: Noun/Pronoun + (be) +adjective He was a generous man. Sally is very sophisticated.
In this lesson, I’m going to share 8 of my favourite adjectives with you, to help you build your vocabulary for describing people! 1. Exceptional 2. Aggressive 3. Responsible 4. Generous 5. Independant 6. Sophisticated 7. Intelligent 8.Valuable Read the full transcript: https://www.mmmenglish.com/2017/08/12...

Shadowing: Can This Method Help You Speak English Fluently?

Can shadowing help you speak English fluently? Watch this video to learn how to do this and why you might prefer to use another method instead.

**********
Shadowing has become popular with English learners. It's a method where you listen and repeat. You continue listening while you're speaking.
The biggest problem I see with this method is that you can end up with issues with your pronunciation.
You end up mumbling as you try to keep up with the natural audio.
A good test is to record yourself while shadowing. If you sound good, continue doing it. If not...
... try this instead:
1. Listen to an English phrase.
2. Repeat the phrase and record your voice.
3. Compare your version with the original.
4. Make any changes you need to make.
5. Get long-term repetition
Additionally, it's wise to improve your pronunciation before using this method.
That's how my program can help.
It gives you a pronunciation tutorial, this full method, and the phrases you need to improve.
I'll also give you feedback on your speaking.

Setting priorities - 56 - English at Work gets you organised


source: BBC Learning English     2017年7月26日
Denise is back and Anna needs to get organised and get her priorities straight!
For more English at Work and other great content:: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/...

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator
Welcome back to English at Work. At the offices of Tip Top Trading, things are a bit… tricky. Denise has been reinstated at the company but now wants to do more than just ordering pens. Tom has other ideas and Anna is just caught in the middle. Who can she turn to? Paul maybe… or maybe not?

Paul
So Denise, let's get this straight. You don't want to order the pens anymore, right?

Denise
Well,I did say if I came back, I wanted to have a go at doing sales.

Paul
Err, yes, you did. That's right.

Tom
Yeah but we got Denise back because we didn't have anyone to order our pens and stuff. That's her main job.

Paul
Err yes, absolutely. I see your point.

Anna
Excuse me Paul, could I suggest we all take it in turns to order things like pens and paper… share the responsibility?

Denise
That's a good idea Anna.

Tom
Yeah but…

Paul
No buts Tom, that's a good solution. Well done Anna… could you draw up a rota so we know who's going to be ordering the pens and when? And don't forget to order biscuits too! Phew, I'm glad I got that sorted out. Right, back to work everyone.

Tom
I can't believe I've got to order pens, it's Denise's responsibility… err, are you OK Anna?

Anna
No I'm not. I can't draw up a rota, not now. I've got too much to do.

Tom
Oh don't panic Anna. Just do what I do.

Anna
What's that?

Tom
Nothing! Just do what you can do and then pretend you've forgotten about the other stuff. Easy!

Narrator
Oh dear, Tom's not that professional is he? Not like you Anna. You just need to get organised and prioritise.

Anna
I need to prioritise?

Narrator
Yes. Decide what tasks need doing first and maybe delegate some tasks to others. You could say to people "I've got to prioritise. This is the most important so I'm going to concentrate on this first.", then you could say to someone "It would be a great help if you could take on this other task". You could also say "I'll have to put off some tasks until tomorrow". And if you still feel under pressure, say to your boss "I need help, I have too much to do".

Anna
Thanks, good advice. I'm just writing a list of all the things I need to do on my new mini me-pad.

Narrator
Writing a list is a good place to start. Good luck!

Anna
There, that's my list finished. Ah, Denise, sorry to bother you, but you know that rota I was talking about?

Denise
The one for ordering pens?

Anna
That's it. Well, I'm so busy, I was wondering… it would be a great help… if you could make a start on this? Please?

Denise
Of course Anna. As it's you. If it was Tom asking, I would have said no!

Tom
What's that Denise? Hey Anna, what are we going to do about the designs for that plastic aubergine?

Anna
Gosh, our new aubergine. Hmm, I'm going to have to put that off until tomorrow I'm afraid.

Tom
Oh right. Why, have you got something more important for us to do together, eh?

Anna
No Tom. I've just got to prioritise. This new order from Nice'n'Cheesy is the most important, so I'm going to concentrate on that first. OK?

Tom
Oh yeah sure. Me and you will have to wait until tomorrow! So… so… how's it going with Dave from Computer Support?

Anna
Very well thanks Tom. Last night he took me somewhere I've never been to before.

Tom
Really. Nice.

Anna
Yes, a discount computer shop – he bought me a mini me-pad.

Tom
Oh. Just a 'mini' one hey.

Anna
Now, if you could take more interest in our Nice'n'Cheesy contract than you do in Dave, it would be a great help.

Tom
Sure, yes, of course… nice'n'sleazy, that's a good name for Dave!

Narrator
Idiot! Getting organised is important when you have a lot to do. Tell people what you're doing and don't forget to ask for help. Here's a reminder of what Anna said:

I've got to prioritise. This task is the most important so I'm going to concentrate on this first.

It would be a great help if you could do this for me please.

I'm going to have to put that off until tomorrow I'm afraid.

Narrator
And don't forget, when you simply have too much to do, tell your boss!

Anna
Hello Paul, sorry to bother you. I'm a bit worried… I just have too much to do and need some help.

Paul
Yes of course. I don't want you feeling stressed. Let me think… erm... I know, why don't I do the pen rota?

Anna
It's OK,Denise has offered to do that.

Paul
Phew, I mean super! Erm… hmm… well, maybe Tom could help you with the launch party?

Anna
Launch party? What launch party?

Paul
Didn't Tom tell you?

Anna
No, he didn't.
