Hi, this is Keith from IELTS Speaking Success and today in this video, I'm going to show you how the WIP method can really radically improve your spoken English.
It's a method I've taught for years; it's one that I have used and it's helped improve my spoken French, spoken Spanish, and spoken Chinese.
嗨，我是來自 IELTS Speaking Success 的基思，今天在這段視頻中，我將向你展示 WIP 方法如何真正從根本上提高你的英語口語。這是我教了很多年的一種方法，也是我用過的一種方法，它有助於提高我的法語口語、西班牙語口語和漢語口語。
Let me show you how to do it. So, what is the WIP method?
讓我教你怎麼做。那麼，什麼是 WIP 方法？
It stands for Watch, Imitate, and Practice, three simple steps but they make a huge difference. So, let me show you how we do each one.
它代表「觀察、模仿和練習」，這三個簡單的步驟卻能產生巨大的效果。那麼，讓我給你介紹一下每個步驟的做法。
The first one is "watch". Now, whilst it's great having a teacher, and teachers will explain to you bits of language and how you say something and when you should use it.
第一個是「觀察」。有個好老師很重要，他們會向你解釋一些語言，教你如何使用和何時使用它們。
But until you actually see it in action, it's really hard to grasp it and absorb it and make it yours. But once you see it or hear it, you go "Oh, that's when they use it; oh, that's how it's used."
但在你真正在實際中看到它的使用之前，你很難掌握它、吸收它，讓它成為你的語言。但一旦你看到或聽到它，你會說，「哦，他們就是這麼用的；哦，這就是它的用法。」
It's really important to see the language in action and so the watch part is, at the same time you have a teacher teaching you language, is to expose yourself to as much English as possible, through films, podcasts, TV programs, YouTube videos, listen and listen and listen, and notice the language.?That's the first most important thing — watch.
看到語言的實際運用是非常重要的，所以觀察的部分是，在你有老師教你語言的同時，儘可能多地接觸英語，通過電影，播客，電視節目，YouTube 視頻，多聽，觀察這種語言的使用。這是第一件最重要的事——觀察。
The second point is imitate. Now, if you have a teacher or you've been to a class, I'm sure your teacher does what we call "controlled practice" or "drilling" where they get you to repeat a phrase or a sentence: I have been to Africa, I have been to America, I have been to, I've been, to I've been to, I've been to Africa, I've been to America.
第二點是模仿。如果你請了私教或者參加過學習班班，我相信你的老師會做我們所說的「控制練習」或「訓練」，讓你重複一個短語或一個句子：我去過非洲，我去過美國，我去過，我去過，我去過，我去過，我去過，我去過非洲，我去過美國。
And what's happening? The teacher is teaching you how to use this muscle, the mouth. They're teaching you the pronunciation, maybe the contraction, the intonation. "I've been to Africa, I've been to Manchester".
怎麼回事？老師在教你如何使用這塊肌肉，嘴巴。他們在教你發音，也許是省音，語調。「我去過非洲，我去過曼徹斯特」.
And it's a drill, and it's this imitation that is so important, because if you can imitate and get it right in the class or at home, it's much easier to use it in real life, not that your class is not real life, but in the other real life when you're out and using English. So imitation. Getting it really as good as you can is the second most important thing.
這是一種訓練，這種模仿非常重要，因為如果你能在課堂上或在家裡模仿並把它做好，那麼在現實生活中使用它就容易得多，不是說你的課不是真實的生活，而是你在外面用英語時的另一種真實生活。所以，要模仿。第二件最重要的事情是儘可能把它做好。
The third point is "practice", and this is where you go out into the world and you start practicing. Because it's all well and good sitting at home and in your classroom practicing with other students, but to really push yourself and put you on the spot, it's when you start to process the language in real interaction that you really start learning and hardwiring this language up here.
第三點是「練習」，關於這一點，需要你出門開始練習。因為坐在家裡和在教室裡和其他學生一起練習雖好，但要真正迫使自己，讓自己置於這種環境，只有當你開始在真實的互動中處理這門語言時，你才真正開始學習和鞏固這門語言。
So that practice is essential to really help you make that connection and get the language into you, make it yours, so you can also produce it. So, practice is essential and that is it, three really simple steps: watch, imitate, and practice.
因此，練習對於真正幫助你建立這種聯繫，讓語言融入你的語言，使之成為你的語言，這樣你也可以生產它。所以，練習很重要，就是這樣，三個非常簡單的步驟：觀察、模仿和練習。
