English speaking practice and pronunciation practice is an invaluable method for improving fluency and confidence when speaking English. The student repeats a phrase or sentence after hearing the native speaker say it. The student repeats the phrase or sentence 3 times. This repetition is crucial. Turn the teacher’s voice up loud, and then repeat with a loud voice.

Persistence and perseverance are keys to success. At first it may seem a little monotonous but soon you will get used to repeating each phrase or sentence 3 times. Soon your self-confidence will grow and you will be able to read with much more certainty which will then filter through to speaking English fluently in conversation, which accurate pronunciation.

The Reading

The Power of Enthusiasm!
What is enthusiasm? It is an intense excitement, enjoyment or interest in a subject or activity. A common collocation is to have a ‘burning enthusiasm’ for something. Yes, enthusiasm can be compared to a fire which is intense, hot. Also, like fire which spreads quickly and easily, an enthusiastic person can soon motivate those around them to become enthusiastic.

A vivid demonstration of the power of enthusiasm is found in the story of Frank Bettger. Frank Bettger started out in professional baseball back in 1907. Shortly after, he was fired. His manager told him he was lazy. This came as a shock to Frank Bettger. He started again playing for a minor team but resolved that in everything he did he would act enthusiastically.

After three days he was given the chance of a trial with a big club. From the minute he entered the field, he acted like a man electrified. Did it work? Yes. His enthusiasm overcame his fear. His enthusiasm also affected other players and they became enthusiastic. The newspapers began calling him Pep Bettger, the life of the team. Within 10 days, his enthusiasm had taken him from $25 a month to $185 a month, a 700 percent increase!

Had he acquired more ability as a ball player? No. Enthusiasm did it, enthusiasm alone! Two years later, an accident forced him to give up baseball. He started a new career selling insurance. The next 10 months were some of the most difficult in his life. He was a total failure at selling insurance. Then one night, he sat up thinking back on his days in baseball and realized he had fallen into the same trap. Enthusiasm lifted him out of the pit before and he decided it would do the same again.

From that moment on he decided to put real enthusiasm into his selling presentations. He forced himself to act enthusiastically, and soon after he began to feel enthusiastic. He eventually became one of America’s most outstanding successes. He says: “During my thirty two years of selling, I have seen enthusiasm double and treble the income of dozens of sales personnel. I firmly believe enthusiasm is by far the biggest single factor in successful selling.”

It might be the biggest single factor in successful selling, but it can also be the biggest single factor in success in any avenue of life you wish to undertake. Overcome frustration, mediocrity, failure and despair by using the amazing power of enthusiasm.

How do you show enthusiasm? 1. In your posture. Stand erect, don’t slouch. 2. Smile. A smile widens the eyes and makes a person more attractive. 3. Speak with energy and life. Increase your volume and speak in higher tones to convey excitement and interest. 4. Ask questions. This shows you are interested in the other person and their interests. 5. Move energetically. Walk with a spring in your step.

Set yourself a goal you have just got to reach. Then build under it the fire of anticipation and keep it burning with enthusiasm. Then when you reach your goal, set another one. New goals, fresh objectives are self-perpetuating motivators of enthusiasm. Remember when you face a challenge, tap into the power of enthusiasm!

5 More Key Image Factors

Confident public speaking puts the audience at ease, and creates a good environment for them to absorb the information you present. The speaker who lacks confidence can make an audience feel sorry for them, so the audience ends up concentrating on the speaker, rather than the message.

In view of this, a professional image is a very important ingredient in confident public speaking. Use the following five points to ensure your image enhances rather than detracts from your presentation.

Almost every public speaker feels nervous at some time. Some never conquer their nervousness completely. Nevertheless, you do not need to betray your nervous feelings to your audience.
By paying careful attention to your image using the five points above, you will make a positive impact on your audience, and within yourself feel confident when making presentations.

Next: The 5 Step Starting Routine

This video summarizes some simple rules regarding the use of FARTHER vs FURTHER. Avoid making errors in your speech and writing by examining the illustrated sentence examples.

Here is a transcript of the video: “FARTHER vs FURTHER – What’s the Difference?”

SlideS 2-7:
Because FURTHER and FARTHER have similar meanings, there has been much debate and argument over how to use these words.
In this video we hope to cut through the confusion, and clearly explain how to use these words in modern English, reflecting they way they are now commonly used.

Slide 8:
First, a quick note about pronunciation:
FURTHER – 1st syllable – UR sound
FARTHER – 1st syllable – ARE sound (slightly elongate the ‘ah’ sound)

Slide 9:
FURTHER & FARTHER as adjectives:

Some native speakers differentiate the two words in this way:

FARTHER: distance, either literal or figurative
FURTHER: more, something additional

In modern English and common usage however, FURTHER and FARTHER are interchangeable. Both are used to refer to distance, or extent.

FURTHER can also mean “more, something additional”.
(FARTHER is rarely used this way)

Slide 10:
Here’s a helpful chart to explain clearly:

Some native English speakers use FURTHER only to refer to something more or additional, not to describe distance.
They use FARTHER to refer to distance, whether that’s a physical or figurative distance.

But in common daily usage, perhaps the majority of native English speakers now use either of these words, further or farther to refer to distance.
However, they only use further to refer to something more or additional.

Let’s look at some illustrated sentence examples and you will get the idea . . .

Slide 11:
In the picture we see a woman walking on a country road.

The sentence reads: The walk to the next village was much farther/further than she expected.

Here we are referring to physical distance, so both words can be used. Next,

Slide 12:
We see a man with a serious look on his face.

The sentence reads: Some people thought he was too serious and rarely smiled, but actually, nothing could be farther/further from the truth. He had a great sense of humour.

Here again, both words can be used, this time referring to distance in a figurative way.

Next,

Slide 13:
The picture shows a business meeting in progress.

The sentence reads: He told his colleague: “I suggest we do further research before making a final decision.”

Now the word further is used, meaning, more, additional. In other words “I suggest we do more, or additional research”.

Slide 14:
By the way, a quick reminder,
If you want to continually improve your English, just click the subscribe button, choose the Bell icon, and then ALL.

Slide 15:
Now here is another word, closely related, FURTHERMORE.

Definition: In addition, moreover

It is often used as the first word in a sentence. Here’s an example:

Slide 16:
The picture shows a worker drying incense sticks in Vietnam.

The sentence reads: Vietnam is popular with travellers for its vibrant culture, amazing scenery, and friendly people. Furthermore, it’s one of the most affordable destinations in Southeast Asia.

Here furthermore is a synonym for additionally, or moreover.

Now here is something else that’s interesting about the word FURTHER.

Slide 17:
Further can be used as a verb.

Definition: To advance or help the progress of, to promote

Here’s an example:

Slide 18:
The picture shows a student studying at her laptop computer.

The sentence reads: To further her career, she studied hard for a master’s degree in dietetics and nutrition.

So here FURTHER is used as a verb to explain that the student is studying for a master’s degree in order to advance her career.

Slide 19-23:
Well we’ve covered a lot of information. Let’s summarize the main points.

To summarize:

Slide 24:
do you want to make sure you understand the use of FURTHER and FARTHER clearly? Take a minute to do this test . . . Just fill in the blank.

Slide 25:
He told his colleague: “I suggest we do __ research before making a final decision.”

Slide 26:
Answer: FURTHER

Slide 27:
Some people thought he was too serious and rarely smiled, but actually, nothing could be __ from the truth. He had a great sense of humour.

Slide 28:
Answer: FURTHER or FARTHER

Slide 29:
Vietnam is popular with travellers for its vibrant culture, amazing scenery, and friendly people. __, it’s one of the most affordable destinations in Southeast Asia.

Slide 30:
Answer: FURTHERMORE

Slide 31:
To __ her career,she studied hard for a master’s degree in dietetics and nutrition.

Slide 32:
Answer: FURTHER

Slide 33:
The walk to the next village was much __ than she expected.

Slide 34:
Answer: FURTHER or FARTHER

Slide 35:
That’s it. Well done. Hopefully now you will never be confused by FURTHER or FARTHER again, and you can confidently use them in the correct way depending on the context.

Exercise 5: Goal Setting

Slide 2:

Slide 3 onwards
The Reading

Why Does Goal Setting Work?
Goal setting involves creating an action plan to guide and motivate a person to reach a goal. Goal setting involves more than a mere dream or wish. When a person sets a goal, they are committing mental energy, emotion and action to attaining that goal. So why do people who set specific goals seem to be more successful at getting things done than those who don’t set goals?

Partly because of an amazing mechanism in our brain which has been called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The word reticular means something that is like a net, or network. In this context, RAS refers to the network of neurons located in the brain stem which affects our behaviour, consciousness and awareness. In other words, RAS determines what you will notice and what you will ignore.

The brain processes thousands of pieces of information each minute from our various senses. It is impossible to give equal attention to everything. So the brain uses a screening process so the most important things are brought into focus. By setting a goal and then committing mental energy and awareness to that goal, the brain is alerted and starts to give greater prominence to things related to that goal.

In other words, we begin to see or become aware of things related to the goal that will help us achieve it. These things were probably already around us, but we never gave much attention to them before. Now a goal is set, the RAS begins to make us aware of what we need to reach the goal.

A humorous story is told of a man who dreamed of owning an expensive car. He never expected to be able to afford one but nevertheless, he kept thinking about it and imagining himself owning and driving it. One day as he is browsing the newspaper, he notices a classified advert for this very model. Just out of interest, he called the number to find out the price.

A woman answered and without telling him the price, encouraged him to just come and see it and take it for a drive. He found it to be an amazing experience. Here he was sitting in the driving seat of his dream car. After the test drive he apologetically told the woman he was sorry for wasting her time but he could never afford such a car. The woman said: “It’s yours for $20.” He was shocked and thought it was some joke. The woman assured him this was a genuine offer. He agreed, paid the $20 and signed the papers.

Once the deal was finished, his curiosity running wild, he asked, why did you sell this car for just $20? The woman explained that some months previously her husband had run off with another woman. They were going through a divorce. She received a message from him telling her to sell the car and forward the money to him. The woman said: “I just did!”

While this story has a clever ending, it illustrates the point that without fixing his mind on this car, the man probably would never have even noticed the advert. His RAS made him more aware of anything related to this car model, and he amazed himself by finally becoming the owner of one. So again, why does goal setting work? Partly because of your brain’s Reticular Activating System!

That is the end of the exercise.

Next: 5 More Key Image Factors

This video will show you in 3 minutes the idiom “Back to the Drawing Board – Meaning in a Sentence” through 3 interesting illustrated sentence examples. Combining images with the idiom will help you put this common English idiom into long-term memory.

Here is a transcript of the video: “The Meaning of BACK to the DRAWING BOARD”

Slide 2:
The meaning of:
BACK to the DRAWING BOARD

something you tried was unsuccessful and you need to start again, or go back to the planning stage

The clipart shows a technical, or engineering drawing board.

Let’s consider 3 interesting examples taken from modern history where initial design attempts failed and the engineers or inventors had to start again or make major changes to the original design before they enjoyed success. You may find the 3rd example especially interesting.

Slide 3:
First, the picture shows American aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright flying a glider in 1902.

The sentence reads: Orville and Wilbur Wright, American aviation pioneers, suffered repeated failures and often had to go back to the drawing board to adjust their plans, before making a successful flight on December 17, 1903.

In other words, they had to return to the planning stage on a number of occasions and make adjustments.

Slide 4:
In the next example we see the top of a soft drinks can.

The sentence reads: American engineer, Ermal Fraze, first designed a self-opening can which unfortunately was a little dangerous as it left sharp edges. After going back to the drawing board, he revised the product and created the ring-pull tab.

Slide 6:
In the third example we see an aerosol spray of the popular lubricant named WD-40.

The sentence reads: WD-40 started out as a rust-prevention solvent and degreaser in the aerospace industry. WD stands for Water Displacement.

Employees at the Rocket Chemical Company went back to the drawing board 39 times, until they were successful on the 40th attempt. Hence the name, WD-40.

Slide 7:
So remember, if you need to start something again because an attempt has failed, or you need to go back to the planning stage and make a change, you can say:
“Oh well, back to the drawing board!”

The Reading

How To Get More Done

Here are three key principles of time management that can make a huge difference to your productivity.

The advantage with this technique is that it builds momentum. By completing a small slice of the job, a person can feel energized and motivated to continue to the next slice. As you build momentum, you can feel a surge of power and energy and a strong desire to complete the task.

Some time management experts believe this can reduce the time required to complete tasks by as much as 50 percent. Of course, it takes self-discipline and learning new habits and ways of working. The rewards however more than compensate for the effort required to develop these new disciplines.

Try employing these 3 simple time management principles during your regular work day and get great satisfaction from getting more done, in less time and with less energy.
