here is the text to follow along ' Sometimes a candidate studies hard to graduate, and this moment becomes the ultimate reward. In a friendly climate, people gather to celebrate together, because progress feels brighter when it is shared. A private time of reflection can help us separate emotions and find a more realistic direction. It is not always automatic to feel calm; sometimes the experience is dramatic, sometimes it is chaotic, but every step forward brings a specific sense of hope. When we dedicate effort, we often generate new skills that we quickly appreciate. These habits may feel fantastic, and they can motivate us to continue. A graduate looking back may say the most basic lesson was to communicate, because even a small conversation can activate confidence and create connection. A private talk may turn into a romantic memory, or a simple word can lead to an artistic idea. Sometimes we learn from one candidate, sometimes from a whole class, but in both cases the climate of support makes a difference. When the group works together, the energy becomes almost magnetic. People who participate feel stronger, because their effort does not separate them but instead brings them closer. The ultimate result is not only knowledge, but also a rhythm of speaking that feels natural and alive."

02:01mistakes instead are fewer mistakes that we're gonna work on right now all right so you are speaking of
02:08phonetics let me first uh try again about the words you have highlighted yes i would say for ultimate i don't know
02:18if i have done it before like that ultimate chaotic chaotic i would say often i would say for this one and
02:28graduate for this one result and effort maybe i have said effort i'm not sure um it's good very close
02:37but but so here in english it's ultimate ultimate ultimate in english if you have the suffix eight right
02:44this one over here and if it is in let's say a noun the suffix exists in a noun or an adjective right
02:52um the pronunciation will be on it of the suffix so ultimate ultimate reward right um if you look at over
03:02the suffix here chaotic uh you had the mispronunciation of chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic because if you look
03:08at chaotic uh you have the suffix ick in english the suffix ick on if exists in a word we uh stress the
03:19the previous suffix or the previous um not suffix previous uh syllable you see the syllable it's uh
03:26chaotic chaotic right this is where you stress right um often was good i think um uh this one
03:35you also mispronounced can you repeat this one graduate graduate graduate a graduate look this is
03:42a noun this is not a verb so the verb is going to be graduate i graduated university right but if you
03:51want to uh use a noun you can say a graduate a graduate is looking for a job right on if we look
03:58over here come over here can you read this one appreciate so appreciate so it looks like it's a
04:06it is pronounced ah in english if this one is not pronounced very good it's not uh if it's like a
04:14shwa maybe yes exactly exactly appreciate appreciate right appreciate so the stress is on three
04:23appreciate right if it is the stress on the air it's going to be like app app app it has only one
04:29syllable and it is stressed on the first one right so you can say app but this one it's not uh appreciate
04:36it is appreciate okay um last one is this one um effort oh my god uh here uh
04:44um this is not effort a lot of people tend to pronounce it effort because they see an l here
04:53this is not stressed and therefore it's going to change to a shiva short sound
05:00very good so this is the first one that is stress is stress on the first syllable right effort effort
05:07right result can you repeat this one or result result result result yes like a kind of shwa between
05:17the s and the l maybe or the l changes the sound of the vowel yeah it's stress on the
05:24sound results result so any second sound result result we can do one more time yes do one more time
05:32yeah how you know as much as phonetic i study phonetic actually nice but how do you do that
05:39because there are several i don't know rachel with english maybe or how did you get the phonetics i
05:45studied linguistics in university and uh i branch out of lingu i like linguistics oh that's very nice
05:50that's really nice it would be a pleasure to talk to you again because i like phonetics a lot i have
05:54started that by myself but uh it's a pleasure to find to meet someone with more knowledge about phonetics i
06:00appreciate it thank you you are knowledgeable as well thanks for your class because it was really
06:06yeah yeah fun it's a valuable very valuable for me really really really i appreciate it see you next
06:11time have a nice day have fun when the group works together the energy becomes almost magnetic people who
06:20participate to feel stronger because their effort does not to separate them but instead bring them
06:28closer closer then ultimate result is not only knowledgeable but also a reason on speaking that feels natural and alive
06:41thanks god oh wow you did great you did great thanks oh really thank you i was really surprised um something i noticed is that your intonation is slightly off right and on your stress on certain words and the
06:55right? And your stress on certain words is like not emphasized. In English, stress is a very
07:02important in like determining your accent, right? You speak with an accent to be done
07:08because again, you're Chinese, right? You speak with a Chinese accent because you are not around
07:13a lot of American speakers, right? And to be, it's not a problem. It's not, you can communicate with
07:19any accent. I can communicate English with a Moroccan accent. But if you aim for excellence,
07:24if you want to improve and you want to be better at anything, you should aim to be, to improve on
07:31the things you are short on, right? For example, if you look at the word realistic, right? In English,
07:39it's pronounced realistic. Words in English that ends with ek, the suffix ek, all of them are going
07:47to be emphasized, right? On the syllable before them. So, look at it here on automatic, right?
07:55Automatic. Very good. You see? Dramatic. Okay. Dramatic. Dramatic. Dramatic. See? Dramatic. Okay. And if this
08:04part of the word is going to be weak, dramatic, not dramatic, it's dramatic, right? Same thing here.
08:11Oh, yeah. Dramatic. Very weak, right? Same thing also that is important about English is the pronunciation
08:19of certain suffixes, right? This suffix in English, it is, has two pronunciations. If it is on a verb,
08:28this one is a verb, right? The suffix is going to be pronounced aid, like to graduate, graduate,
08:37right? Graduate. Very good. But if it is on a noun or an adjective, so noun or adjective, right?
08:47The pronunciation is going to be it, it, right? So, look at over here, this is the noun, sorry, adjective,
08:56the ultimate, ultimate, you see? Pronounce it. Ultimate. Okay. You can say ultimate, it's an ultimate, right?
09:03And it is here, graduate and graduate. But you did good. Graduate. I'm proud of you. You did very well.
09:09So, good job. Your name is Ming, right? Ming, right? What's your name? Ming, yeah. Nice. You did well.
09:18So, for your first feed-in, you did surprisingly well. So, good job. Just a few lessons that you can take
09:25with you on, and you learned something in our conversation, right? Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate it.
09:33Would you like to be on, on a YouTube video? Is that possible? Or you value your privacy? No?
09:42Oh, you have a YouTube channel? Yes. Yes. You have a YouTube channel. Wow. Yeah. Of course,
