7 METHODS

The 5-Minute Daily Story
1. This method helps you build fluency by speaking about your day for five minutes straight without stopping.
2. HOW TO
  1. Speak for five minutes about something that happened today.
  2. Choose simple, everyday topics.
  3. Focus on speaking continuously.
3. Example:
  1. “This morning I woke up later than usual, so I rushed to the kitchen to make breakfast. While preparing oatmeal, I accidentally spilled some on the counter. It annoyed me at first, but then I laughed because it reminded me how clumsy I can be. Honestly, the whole situation was stressful, but I just went with the flow and didn’t let it ruin my day.”
    1. Vocabulary: clumsy = someone who often drops things or has small accidents
    2. Expression: go with the flow = to relax and accept things as they happen
Describe What You See
1. This method trains you to observe and describe your surroundings in detail, building descriptive vocabulary and fluency.
2. HOW TO
  1. Pick an object, room, or image.
  2. Describe it using details.
  3. Add opinions or feelings.
3. Example:
  1. “I’m looking at my coffee mug. It’s a small, white ceramic mug with a blue rim. The design is very minimalistic, and I like it because the handle fits perfectly in my hand. Drinking from it helps me start off on the right foot each morning.”
    1. Vocabulary: minimalistic = simple style with few elements
    2. Expression: start off on the right foot = begin something well
The 3-Things Method

    1. Vocabulary: efficient = productive without wasting time
    2. Expression: stay on track = continue progressing toward a goal
Expand Every Answer
1. This method trains you to give longer, more detailed answers instead of short responses, helping you sound more conversational and confident.
2. HOW TO
  1. Take a basic question.
  2. Give 1 answer + 2 details.
  3. Grow your speaking length.
3. Example:
  1. “I ate oatmeal because it’s nutritious and because it helps me start my day off strong.”
    1. Vocabulary: nutritious = healthy
    2. Expression: start my day off strong = begin with energy
Summarize and React
1. This method helps you practice critical thinking and speaking by summarizing content you’ve consumed and then adding your own thoughts and reactions to it.
2. HOW TO
  1. Summarize something you read or watched.
  2. Share your opinion.
  3. Add a personal connection.
3. Example:
  1. Original Article Excerpt:
    
    “Remote work has transformed the modern workplace in ways we never anticipated. A recent global survey found that 68% of employees report higher job satisfaction when working from home, citing better work-life balance and reduced commute stress. Companies have also noticed benefits, including increased productivity and lower overhead costs. However, experts warn that remote work isn’t without challenges—many workers struggle with isolation and difficulty separating professional and personal life. Organizations are now experimenting with hybrid models to find the right balance between flexibility and connection.”
  2. Summary + Opinion + Personal Connection:
    1. “I recently read an article about how remote work is changing the workplace. The article explained that most employees feel happier working from home because they have a better work-life balance, but some people feel isolated. Personally, I think remote work is revolutionary because it gives people more freedom over their schedules. This really speaks to me because when I study English at home, I can make the most of my time without distractions from commuting or office interruptions.”
      1. Vocabulary: revolutionary = causing major change or innovation
      2. Expression: make the most of = use something effectively to get the best results
The “What If…” Game
1. This method encourages creative thinking by asking imaginative “What if?” questions and answering them freely, helping you practice spontaneous speaking and build confidence in expressing hypothetical ideas.
2. HOW TO
  1. Ask imaginative “What if?” questions.
  2. Answer freely.
  3. Build spontaneous speaking.
3. Example:
  What would you do if you met your favorite actor?
  1. 1. “If I met my favorite actor, I’d be starstruck, but I’d break the ice by asking what inspires them.”
      1. Vocabulary: starstruck = amazed by someone famous
      2. Expression: break the ice = start a friendly conversation
Practice Explaining How Things Work
1. This method helps you practice clear explanations and builds your ability to use sequence words and logical transitions while describing processes you already understand.
2. HOW TO
  1. Choose a process or system you understand.
  2. Explain it step-by-step in English.
  3. Use transition words like “first,” “then,” and “finally.”
3. Example:

Then, you type the recipient’s email address in the ‘To’ field and add a concise subject line that gets straight to the point. Next, you write your message in the body section, making sure it’s clear and polite. Finally, you review everything and click ‘send.’ The whole process is straightforward once you practice it a few times.”
    1. Vocabulary: concise = brief and to the point
    2. Vocabulary: straightforward = simple and easy to understand
    3. Expression: get straight to the point = communicate directly without unnecessary details
