Intro Hello VoiceTubers! I am Mia. In our daily lives, it is common for us to invite someone to an activity or have dinner or lunch together. While how to communicate under that scenario properly and reply to related questions that might pop out? You’ll see in this video, and now is time for our sentence.
Sentence I’m a very weak swimmer, so the ocean and I don't mix well.
Pronunciation Tips
1. I’m a very weak swimmer: In the sentence, the stress is on the word “weak.” When you are trying to describe something or use an affirmative sentence, you can lower your tone first to pave the way to say the important word or fact in the sentence. Raising your voice is like showing the highlight of the sentence. In this sentence, for example, compared to “I’m a very…” “weak swimmer” is the main point here.
2. The ocean: When “the” is before a vowel sound, we have to pronounce /ði/, instead of /ðə/.
3. So the ocean and I (pause) don’t mix well: Here we use the same technique as “ what kind of events are they?” Before “don’t mix well” we raise our intonation, to let the listener pay attention to us. And then, we pause a little bit for pause is a way to hold on a little bit for more important information to come out.

2. Weak (a) （身體）虛弱的KK[wik] IPA /wiːk/ Def: not physically strong Tigers will abandon their cubs if they think the cub is too weak to survive in the wilderness. 如果老虎認為幼崽太虛弱，無法在野外生存，就會拋棄幼崽。
3. Mix (v) 混合 KK[mɪks]IPA /mɪks/ Def: to (cause different substances to) combine, so that the result cannot easily be separated into its parts Since oil cannot mix with water, it’ll float on the surface. 因為油和水不能相融，所以油會浮在表面上。
Outro In the very beginning, in case the person you wanna invite is busy with something, you can say “Do you have a minute?” By saying so, you show your respect instead of just abruptly bothering him/her. After that, you can get right to the point about your invitation, and you also have to know some details of the activity. Because if you have no clue about what the invitation is about, then the person that you are asking for might feel weird and surely decrease his/her willingness to go to the event. That’s all for today’s episode. If you want to improve your daily English conversation skill, you can’t miss out on the video. Go check it out! I am Mia, see you next time.
