Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. With the

1:05

price of just about everything going up during

1:07

inflation, we thought we'd bring our prices down.

1:10

So to help us, we brought in a reverse auctioneer, which is

1:12

apparently a thing. Mint Mobile Unlimited Premium Wireless. I bet you get

1:14

30, 30, I bet you get 30, I bet you get 20,

1:16

20, 20, I bet you get 20, 20, I

1:19

bet you get 15, 15, 15,

1:21

15, just 15 bucks a month.

1:23

So, give it a try at

1:26

mintmobile.com/switch. $45 upfront for three months plus

1:28

taxes and fees. Promo rate for new customers for limited time.

1:30

Unlimited more than 40 gigabytes per month. Mint Mobile Unlimited Premium

1:32

Wireless. truth

8:00

is this. That's very high scoring. It's so

8:02

native to do that. It's so good. All

8:05

right. Now, if we're adding a

8:07

new idea, like another reason, another

8:10

example, another main idea, we can

8:12

also use actually, right? Actually is

8:15

very versatile besides or

8:17

besides that. And then here's a

8:19

long phrase that's great. In fact,

8:22

you're not going to believe this,

8:24

but I love this

8:26

one. I do this a lot, right? And you're

8:28

sort of building interest in your answer, which the

8:31

examiner is going to love. They've been hearing speaking

8:33

answers all day long. And if you go to

8:35

share something that is a little surprising, right? Actually

8:38

you're not going to believe this, but, and

8:40

then anything that's a little bit surprising is

8:42

perfect to follow that. Love it.

8:44

Easy to use. When

8:46

you need mealtime inspiration, it's worth shopping

8:49

Kroger where you'll find over 30,000 mouthwatering

8:52

choices that excite your inner foodie. And

8:54

8:57

9:04

9:08

More savings and more inspiring flavors make

9:11

shopping Kroger worth it every time. Kroger,

9:13

fresh for everyone. Fuel restrictions apply. All

9:16

right. So example phrases, and then we're

9:18

going to give you guys some sample

9:21

speaking part one answers. So

9:23

examples, of course you can use for

9:25

example, for instance, I

9:28

want you guys to start using the word

9:30

like as an example

9:32

phrase. So not a filler. We

9:35

use like as a filler all the time. Yes,

9:37

I know, but we can

9:39

also use it to carry

9:41

meaning of an example. So

9:43

for instance of

9:46

the examiner says, do,

9:49

who is your funniest friend? I'd

9:52

be like, well, honestly, I have, I have

9:55

so many funny friends. All my

9:57

friends are hilarious. Like my one

9:59

friend, Aubrey. She

10:01

actually did stand up comedy. So

10:04

we could say like my one

10:06

friend so and so, or like

10:08

this one time I

10:10

did this, or like this one

10:12

song, blah, blah, blah. So

10:15

like this one something, and that's

10:17

how you introduce the example. It's

10:19

so native. Yes, here it means

10:21

as an example, but in a

10:23

very informal way. So it's

10:25

perfect for part one, where

10:27

a lot of these more formal ways

10:30

of introducing an example feel very strange

10:32

for part one, and

10:34

you need those more informal words.

10:37

All right, now we're going to challenge ourselves, Aubrey.

10:40

Let's see if we can use some of

10:42

these phrases in example and servers. All right.

10:44

Do you want to ask me

10:46

first? You want to go first? I'll ask you first. Ready?

10:48

All right. Do

10:51

you like watching advertisements? Oh

10:53

my gosh, no. I really get,

10:55

I get so annoyed with

10:58

advertisements, seriously. Actually,

11:01

I guess I don't mind all of them,

11:03

you know, like this one

11:05

advertisement that I just saw yesterday

11:07

and it's making fun of influencers,

11:11

but I think it's for insurance somehow, and

11:13

I found it to be hilarious. So

11:16

I guess, I guess, I

11:18

don't mind them if, as long as they're funny. Nice,

11:20

really good. So I love the

11:22

switch there to say, actually, I guess,

11:24

and then you're going to share that

11:26

sometimes you don't mind them. And then

11:29

to introduce the example, this very good

11:31

informal, like this one, perfect, right? This

11:34

works for an informal, it's crazy. Yes,

11:36

as we're doing this, I'm realizing how often

11:39

this happens, that a student is answering a

11:41

part one question and just throws

11:43

in really formal linking phrases. So I'm excited

11:45

for you guys to now have all of

11:47

these informal options. All right, I'm

11:49

ready for mine, Jessica. All right. Will

11:52

you buy something because of an

11:54

advertisement? Absolutely not.

11:57

I try to really not be

12:00

informal. influenced by ads. Actually

12:02

scratch that. That's not true because just the other

12:04

day I saw an advertisement

12:06

on TikTok and immediately bought something at TikTok

12:09

shop. So that's not true at all. In

12:11

fact, you're not going to believe this. But

12:13

now that I think about it, I spent

12:15

over a hundred dollars the other day on

12:17

eBay because I saw an advertisement for something.

12:20

So yes, I am influenced by advertisements. Okay.

12:23

Was any of that true? No.

12:26

Okay. But you guys got

12:28

awesome examples. Not very possible.

12:31

The phrases with, you know what, scratch that.

12:33

In fact, you're not going to believe this,

12:35

but such good examples. I love it. I

12:38

love it. I love it. So

12:40

guys, the takeaway today for

12:43

this two part series, yes,

12:46

you need a lot of

12:48

linking words. You need a variety of

12:50

linking words and you also have to

12:52

practice using them in writing and speaking

12:55

before you're going to be ready to

12:58

use these spontaneously on test day. Absolutely.

13:00

These don't come up as much in

13:02

day to day conversation. We don't always

13:04

add linking phrases when we're chatting. So

13:07

this is something you will have to

13:09

proactively practice. Yeah. Answer speaking questions aloud

13:11

and use these linking phrases and think

13:13

about what they mean so that you're

13:15

ready to use them in the correct

13:18

context as well. Exactly.

13:20

Exactly. All right, guys. Thank you for

13:24
