選擇合適的練習(xi) 材料很重要。在考慮口語材料的時候，一部分人可能首選比較正式的演講，像總統演講，畢業(ye) 演講，大場演講等等；一部分可能首選情景喜劇，像 Friends, The Big Bang Theory；一部分人可能選擇新聞，像 BBC，VOA，或者 NPR Radio 這種。
當然，沒有說什麽(me) 材料好或不好，合不合適就看自己的口語目標是什麽(me) 。
今天主要是想分享下，在生活口語上，我自己會(hui) 選擇什麽(me) 材料去提升 + 怎麽(me) 提升。
我會(hui) 用什麽(me) 材料
首先，我平時基本不會(hui) 去看情景喜劇來提升生活口語（不是否認情景喜劇沒有幫助，裏麵確實有很多有用的表達，整體(ti) 比演講和新聞這種正式的材料來說更貼近生活，也有很多人是通過整理和模仿情景喜劇裏麵的表達提升口語的）。
個(ge) 人不看的原因主要是：
1. 笑點對不上。嚐試看過各大口碑不錯的 sit coms 但真的笑不出來，而且覺得表演略誇張很難專(zhuan) 注看下去，大多一集左右就棄了；
2. 自己能用的表達不多，畢竟是 comedy ，為(wei) 了一定的效果，對話本身還是會(hui) 有點刻意。
所以對我來說，為(wei) 了實現 "自己能堅持下去 + 生活中能用上"，就我要尋找一些，話題有趣 + 有用/真實的材料。漸漸後來，比較常用常聽的主要是：podcast，interview 以及 vlog。
這幾個(ge) 類型的材料好的地方在於(yu) ：說話人都是自然思考情況下開口輸出。
雖然 podcast 和 interview 確實會(hui) 有一個(ge) 中心話題另外說話人會(hui) 提前準備下，但也就是個(ge) 大致的話題範圍，用詞用句和表達還是自然的，不像新聞演講或者劇集一樣是逐字記憶輸出。
vlog 就更不用說了，就是日常聊天。另外有很多可挑選的話題，隻要自己感興(xing) 趣就好，比如 podcast 我會(hui) 聽 After Hours 或者 Pop Culture；interview 我看的就比較雜，通常從(cong) 自己喜歡的 cast，singers，或者 influencer 開始；vlog 就看 vlogger，一般會(hui) 避免那些隻有拍攝沒有說話的 videos，大多可能是聊自己的、講規劃講生活講心情、或者記錄和朋友出來玩之類的。
一個(ge) 方麵簡單提一下，有些人在用這些生活材料去學習(xi) 口語時，偶爾會(hui) 發現這樣的情況：因為(wei) 說話人是自然輸出，往往語速比較快，導致自己容易跟不上，聽不懂，或者聽懂了但是不好去積累表達。
所以選擇的時候建議大家找有 transcript 的，比如 YouTube 上看 vlog 和 interview（有 caption 和 transcript 可以對照）， podcast 選擇有 transcript 可以下載的（可以去 podcast 官網看，有些會(hui) 提供對話全文文本）。
我怎麽(me) 用材料提升口語
之前強調過很多次，看一遍或者聽一遍材料，對口語來說是沒有用的。
最終要有用，一定是要到 "開口表達" 這一步。步驟其實很簡單，就是 "聽" 到 "篩" 到 "說"。
· 聽
第一遍放鬆聽/看就好，對整體(ti) 的內(nei) 容有個(ge) 大致的了解，知道這個(ge) podcast / interview / vlog 是在講什麽(me) 。隻聽/看一遍就能全部模仿下來是比較難的。一部分是自己可能會(hui) 沒注意到對自己來說有積累價(jia) 值的詞句，畢竟 interview / vlog 這種材料比較快，很難留意，另外也因為(wei) 有畫麵感，理解上不會(hui) 有障礙，因此有趣的表達不會(hui) 引起自己的注意；還有就是，如果第一遍看的時候如果又看又記，會(hui) 很分心，反而讓自己不想看了。第二遍再次聽/看的時候，因為(wei) 已經知道整個(ge) 材料的前後內(nei) 容，所以重心可以放在表達上，把有用的表達記下來。如果覺得跟不上或者聽不出來，就打開 caption 或者 transcript 對照著聽/看。
· 篩
那什麽(me) 表達是有用的呢？每個(ge) 人需求不同，可能想記的都會(hui) 不一樣。對我來說，可能會(hui) 額外留意 "簡單詞表達" ，怎麽(me) 靈活用簡單詞表達出各種不同的情緒和看法也不是容易的事情；另外有多個(ge) 人參與(yu) 到對話的時候，是怎麽(me) 對對方進行回應的，有哪些表達是有趣或者陌生的。
· 說
我們(men) 當然希望這些寫(xie) 下來的表達在以後類似的場景，在需要的時候，自己能夠用上。但實際情況是，我們(men) 很難即刻遇到類似的場景；而且在未知的以後，就算真的遇到的，自己當下可能也會(hui) 忘記（也不可能隨時帶著個(ge) 本本去翻）。
因為(wei) 積累完的表達，最好刻意去練習(xi) ，練習(xi) 到熟悉，這樣才能讓這些表達變成自己的，這樣才會(hui) 在需要表達的時候馬上說出口。
講完了，我們(men) 拿個(ge) vlog 舉(ju) 例子：

Transcript
As you just saw I'm currently reading The Song of Achilles. I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I finished that book, and then I ordered this one. And I also have It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover.I started it the other day, and I'm now about halfway.
And this book is so hyped up on TikTok. People rave about this, and say that it's like the best book they've ever read. I'm halfway and I feel like I'm just like still not really into it. Welcome to my second semester preparation. It's currently Saturday, and I start classes on Tuesday.
So I've got about three days left before I go back to class, and I am feeling not super excited for that to be honest.Basically I just wanted to show you guys kind of how I'm going to get back into the swing of things, because I really want to make sure that I start off this semester strong, because I know right away that I have like assessments in the first week. Coming out of winter break, teachers are a lot less lenient than coming out of summer break, um in terms of like taking things slow and like transitioning out of a break.And reading has actually been something that I've been doing. To prepare me for this semester, I really do want to start creating that habit of reading more frequently than I have in the past. And I really want to make sure that I actually have that habit, kind of like set down once school starts. Definitely if reading more books this year is one of your goals for 2022, then I definitely start getting into that ASAP. Some stuff that I need to do before I get back to school is: my goal was to start this chemistry lab that I have to do ASAP. And then also I have some stats notes that I need to take, because um we have to take the notes for this chapter over the break. I was about halfway in these notes before the break started, so I just have like half left to do. I also have a video that I need to watch and take notes on for calc. And today I also was kind of hoping that I could get a workout in, but I'm not really sure if I have time for that. So instead of doing chemistry, because I'd like to procrastinate, I just submitted my self-reported grades for a university that I'm applying to. I basically have submitted all of my university stuff that I need to submit. If you watch my videos from all of first term, then you would know how much I wanted to finish my university applications, and to just get them done.
It was a very slow and dragged out process for me. It took a really long time but I'm really really glad that I now kind of have like a huge weight lifted off my shoulder. I don't have to work on any university applications anymore. And I'm so happy about that I'm gonna give myself a little pat on the back. The last thing that I need to submit is just like another set of self-reported grade to McGill. It's good because I've actually gotten some university acceptances, because I applied early action to some schools, but I'm not gonna like say anything on here yet I feel like it's just good for me to just wait. Once everything comes out, other seniors who are watching this, who finish their university applications, I wish you all the best of luck. So I'm going to eat my lunch now actually and then we're going to get into Chemistry. I'm not gonna lie, this is actually kind of fun that I've been working on. I literally worked on it for like a straight hour without any breaks. And I wasn't like tempted to use my phones or anything, because I was just genuinely invested in doing this lab. That's what happens when I have a break from school. Like I actually want to do work. Tomorrow Monday I'm going to do the actual like lab write-up, because I want to do a workout in 30 minutes, and I need to make my own dinner, and then I'm heading to Kate's tonight, because I'm sleeping over at her place. Today I'm doing a lower body workout. I literally just did a lower body workout in my last video, my 2022 video. Don't think that I only work out lower body, this is my fourth time working out this week, the two days in between my filming days, I did two upper body workouts. I'm hoping that the next time that I film a workout, it works out with like my schedule, and I'm actually doing an upper body workout, because y'all don't need to see me do legs again. So welcome to the last day of the winter break, I have no school today because it's like a professional development day. Last night I went out for dinner with Thomas, it was really really good. It's nice we got to dress up, and it was very very fun. I think it's safe to say that I did make the most of this break, I got to rest, and I also got to catch up with my friends that I sometimes don't have a chance to see during the school year. Today I'm going to be taking some stats notes, what I'm going to be doing right now, because I have stats tomorrow I checked my schedule, and gosh, this is a really long chapter. I also have that Chem lab that I mentioned, so I'm going to start that today, and then basically I have Chem on Wednesday. So I'll have time after school tomorrow to finish that up. I refuse to go into this semester behind all my stats, I'm doing this now. The day has come for the return of the plant study app. This app is called Flora, for all of you asking. I get asked this in every single video and I mention it all the time. It's Chem lab time. I need to do this right now, like I need to do this right now. I need to try and sleep early tonight, cross my fingers that I actually fall asleep. I'm gonna have to start this today, and then finish it tomorrow, like I said, because I want to sleep early, and like get ready for tomorrow. I just put on my face mask. I want my skin to have a good start. When I'm stressed out, my skin kind of deteriorates a little. The last thing that I want to do before tomorrow, is set some goals for the new semester. To be honest, I haven't actually like fully written down my new year's resolutions, and like my intentions for this new year. I've only kind of like thought about it. But I want to actually write down some goals, and specifically for this video, some school related ones, that i can remember and work towards, for the next few months at least. I think I'm now definitely a very different sort of like academic headspace, because in a few weeks, as people like to say when they're in grade 12, like my grades won't matter. That's not necessarily true, because literally up until the point that I graduate, my grades are going to be like evaluated by the schools that I applied to, to make sure that i like actually graduate and like pass on my classes. So I'm not really sure if like marks or something like that is kind of like a goal that I'm gonna be working towards, I think that one of my goals that i always have for school is to make sure that I'm getting nine hours of sleep every night, that was my goals for my last term and it went really well actually, because I got like eight and a half hours of sleep pretty much every single night, which was really nice. I think one of my goals is going to be to kind of like work around implementing a workout schedule, on top of like my homework schedule, because I'm not doing club volleyball this term, which I normally do, so I kind of want to fill up that time with like working out at home. Another goal that I'm gonna make for this term slash semester is going to be to work on setting aside time for like socializing and like seeing my friends, because that's definitely something that I have struggled with so much, like in the past, and even like in the last few months, and like even in december, like the last few weeks before winter break. It was such a struggle for you to like make the time to have like a social life on top of school. So I'm definitely gonna write that down, and I really do want to work towards that, especially because these are my last like six months of high school and so I really want to make sure that I'm actually spending time with my friends and not just doing homework all the time. Okay I think I'm good with that. I survived the first day. It was a long day. We jumped into things right away in all of my classes. It's really weird coming back home straight after school, because all of last term I had volleyball after school, so I was basically staying at school from like 8 a.m to 7 p.m, because my volleyball was from five to seven, so I would just like do homework from 3:30 to 5:00. That's not the case anymore. I'm basically coming home like this every single day after school, which is kind of sad, not gonna lie. So I'm gonna get to work with my Chem lab now, like I mentioned I need to finish it today, because I have Chem tomorrow and I just want to finish it before I walk into class. I also need to do some AP World History notes, because we have a test next week.
