In this br video, I’m going to teach you one br simple trick that you can use to br become a fluent English speaker br by spending just 10 minutes a br day. The best part about this is br that you don’t need a partner – br you can do this by yourself. This br is a technique that has worked br for many of my students and if br you do what I tell you in this br video, I guarantee that you will br become more fluent in English. So br what is this trick? Well, it’s a br technique known as JAM. Uh, no, br not that kind of jam. This is br actually a little fluency game br based on a show that airs on BBC br radio. The reason it’s called JAM br is because it’s short for Just A br Minute. This game has three br stages. So here’s how you play br it: You’re going to talk about a br topic for one minute. That is, br you’re going to give a speech br without any preparation. So you br just pick a topic - you can br either take general topics like br sports, hobbies, friends, books br etc. or you can choose a br question. For example, what is br your favorite mode of transport? br And once you have a topic, you br speak. Now when you do, there are br some rules: The first rule is br that you cannot stop speaking. br You must talk for the full br minute. If you have to pause to br catch your breath, it’s OK, but br you cannot pause for more than br three seconds. Even if you say br nonsense or you say something br unrelated to the topic it doesn’t br matter. You’re just going to keep br talking. So that’s rule number br one. Rule number two is you br cannot repeat the same ideas. br That means you can’t just say the br same things over and over and br over again – this isn’t br pronunciation practice – it’s br fluency development, so no br repetition of the same ideas. And br rule number three is no writing – br you cannot make any notes while br you are speaking, you must only br concentrate on speaking. These br are just the three rules. So to br begin, you need a timer, this can br be on your smartphone for br example. You start stage one by br starting the timer and you speak br until the one minute is reached. br I’m going to give you an example br of how to do this. I’m going to br take this question: “What is your br favorite mode of transport?” and br I’m going to speak for a minute br on this topic. Now I haven’t done br any preparation, so let’s see how br I do. OK, so what’s my favorite br mode of transport? I would have br to say that it’s the train. br That’s because um, actually, you br get to see a lot of nice scenery, br beautiful landscapes and things br like that. And you know, train br journeys generally tend to be br longer than other types of, or br rather, other modes of transport. br You can see I’m really struggling br for ideas but I can’t stop, I br have to keep going so I’m saying br whatever comes to mind, that’s no br problem.
