to join a conversation in English and express themselves the way they want to.

過去進行式

I totally understand. I had this problem too when I was studying German in Germany,

But the good news is there are things you can do to train your brain to think in English

但好消息是，你可以做一些事情來訓練你的大腦用英語思考。

so that you don't have to translate in your head, and you can jump right into the conversation in English.

這樣你就不用在腦子裡翻譯了，可以直接跳到英語對話中。

We're going to work on training your brain to think in English today,

今天我們就來訓練你的大腦用英語思考。

and also training your brain to respond quickly to questions.

同時訓練你的大腦對問題的快速反應。

This is all stuff that you can practice and get better at.

這都是可以練習和提高的東西。

So the next time you're in a conversation, you can join it as naturally and as freely as you want.

Now we've already done a few videos where we started building the skill of thinking in English.

現在我們已經做了幾個視頻，我們開始培養用英語思考的技能。

We started with naming objects and then describing sentences.

我們先給物體命名，然後描述句子。

You're going to be asked a question. And there will be ten seconds for you to answer.

你會被問到一個問題。會有十秒鐘的時間讓你回答。

Now if you can't come up with something, some questions will be easier than others, that's okay.

現在如果你想不出什麼辦法，有些問題會比其他問題容易，沒關係。

If you can't form a whole sentence, just think of the words you might use when describing,

如果你不能組成一個完整的句子，就想想你在描述時可能會用到的詞。

So for example, if the question is: What would you do if you won $10,000?

所以舉例來說，如果問題是：如果你中了1萬元，你會怎麼做？

你可以說：墨西哥，海灘，度假。

If you can't come up with something more full.

如果你不能想出更充分的東西。

For example: I would take my family on vacation to Mexico.

例如：我會帶家人去墨西哥度假。

I'd get a house on the beach and we would all have the time of our lives.

我會在海灘上買一棟房子，我們都會享受生活的樂趣。

So whatever your level is, you can still respond in one way or another.

所以不管你的水準如何，你還是可以用一種方式來應對。

At the end of this video, I'm going to show you a few resources for moving forward,

在這個視頻的最後，我將向你展示一些前進的資源。

for continuing to practice answering questions, and I'm also going to issue you a challenge

為繼續練習答題，我也要向你發出挑戰。

where you can practice answering a question, make a video put it on Instagram,

在那裡你可以練習回答問題，做一個視頻把它放在Instagram上。

and then I'm going to share it with everybody.

Alright, let's get started. Here is your first question.

好了，我們開始吧。這是你的第一個問題。

Maybe if you're a little bit more comfortable with English,

如果你對英語更熟悉一點的話，也許會這樣。

your mind went a little further and in your mind, you said: I'm great, how are you?

你的心思更進一步，在你的腦海裡，你說："我很好，你怎麼樣？我很好，你呢？

That's awesome! Wherever you are, it doesn't matter, that's your starting point

那可真是厲害了!無論你在哪裡，都沒關係，那是你的起點

and putting in the work will help you get better.

並投入到工作中去，會幫助你變得更好。

As we go forward with these questions, you may find that you give very simple answers

當我們帶著這些問題前進時，你可能會發現，你給出的答案非常簡單。

or that you can talk for days, that's great!

或者說你能說上好幾天，那就太好了!

Pause the video and keep talking, keep working on that skill of answering in English.

暫停視頻，繼續說，繼續練習用英語回答的那個技能。

Are you tempted to speak out loud? That's actually okay. I'm fine with that.

你是不是很想大聲說話？這其實是好的。我沒問題的。

I know this video is about training your mind to think in English,

我知道這個視頻是關於訓練你的頭腦用英語思考的。

but if you're speaking it instead, that's okay.

但如果你說它代替，這沒關係。

The one thing to be careful of is that you're not thinking it in your native language first,

要注意的是，你沒有先用母語思考。

If you find that you keep thinking in your native language,

如果你發現自己一直在用母語思考。

then you probably need to simplify what you're doing,

那麼你可能需要簡化你正在做的事情。

so rather than trying to put together a sentence,

所以，而不是試圖湊成一句話。

just think of words in English that you would use in an answer, okay?

只要想一想你在回答中會用到的英語單詞，好嗎？

So bring it back as simply as you need to, as far back as you need to in simplification,

所以，只要你需要，只要你需要簡化，就把它帶回來。

in order to be able to do it in only English, thinking in English,

為了能夠只用英語做，用英語思考。

or speaking in English with none of your native language involved.

What's your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

So what is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

也許你用一個詞來回答：百吉餅。

or maybe you got more elaborate with your answer:

For breakfast I love a David's bagel, New York City cinnamon raisin toasted with plain cream cheese.

早餐我喜歡吃大衛的百吉餅，紐約市肉桂葡萄乾烤制的純奶油奶酪。

Maybe orange juice with some pulp on the side.

You have to quickly jump in, answer that in English.

你要趕快跳進去，用英語回答。

And if you're having too hard of a time doing that, and your mind keeps going to your native language,

如果你做起來太難了，你的腦子一直在想你的母語。

then drop answering the question and just say words

那就不回答問題了，直接說詞吧

that you would say in your answer like: bagel, or cream cheese, or whatever.

你在回答中會說：百吉餅，或奶油奶酪，或其他什麼。

Wherever you are, I'm going to keep saying it. Wherever you are, that's okay, that's your starting point.

無論你在哪裡，我都會一直說下去。無論你在哪裡，都沒關係，那是你的起點。

Love it and take one step forward by practicing.

愛上它，就會通過實踐一步步前進。

I know a lot of people like to learn about how to get better at something,

我知道很多人都喜歡學習如何讓自己的某件事情變得更好。

Question after question. But you can do this.
