After he woke up, tony listened to music and imagined his victory. This set the tone for him to win.

Did he set the tone for victory, for winning?

Yes, he set the tone for winning.

Then they had the race. It was very, very close. It was a very close race, but Charlie the cheetah won. However, Charlie was pissed off. He was pissed off because the race was very, very close. Usually he won easily. Tony was psyched because it was very close. He knew he had a chance to get a gold medal later at the Olympics. So he trained very, very hard and the next year he went to the Olympics. At the Olympics he won a gold medal. He defeated Charlie the cheetah. Tony won a gold medal.

All right, let’s do the story again. This time let’s pretend we’re imagining it happening. We’re thinking it will happen in the future. It will probably happen. We’re imagining a story that will happen in the future.

So, in the future there will be a turtle. His name will be Tony. He’ll want to win a gold medal in sprinting. He will want to win a gold medal. He’ll want to win a gold medal in sprinting. He’ll tell his friends and family about this, but they’re gonna laugh. They’re all gonna laugh. Gonna means going to, going to it’s casual.

They’re gonna laugh at him. They’re gonna criticize him. But he won’t care. There will also be, in the future, a cheetah named Charlie and he’ll be the champion, the world champion. He’ll be naturally wired for success in running.

Every morning Tony will get up and follow a training process. First he’ll get psyched up with music. Next he’ll imagine his goal, the goal of winning. After this he’ll be primed for success.

He’ll be ready for training, primed for training. Then he’ll train hard every morning. Charli Charlie and Tony will go to the world championships. Tony’ll go to bed early and get good sleep.

Charlie, he’s gonna get drunk the night before. In the morning, Tony’ll wake up early. Charlie will wake up late. The alcohol will wear off, it’ll wear off but he’ll still feel bad. Just before the race, Tony is gonna set the tone to win. He’ll listen to music and he’ll imagine victory as always.

They’ll have the race. Charlie is gonna win, but it’ll be very, very, very close and so, Charlie’s actually gonna be pissed off. He’s gonna be pissed off about the result, because it’s gonna be so close. Tony, he’ll be happy. In fact, he’ll be psyched because he’ll almost win, and so he’ll train even harder every morning, and the next year at the Olympics he’s gonna win. He’s gonna get that gold medal.

All right, let’s change the point of view one more time. Let’s imagine we’re talking about Tony being a child, in his childhood in the beginning. The story will begin earlier.

Beginning when Tony was a child, since he was a child, a baby turtle. Since he was a child Tony has wanted to win a gold medal, so starting in that past time and continuing up until recently. He has wanted to win a gold medal ever since he was a child. In fact, during his childhood he has told family and friends constantly about this goal. He has told them, I will win a gold medal in sprinting.

And, of course, they have laughed at him every time. His family and his friends have always laughed at him ever since he was a child, talking about his goal. They’ve laughed at him and they have criticized him starting back when he was a child and continuing, right up until recently.

Now, Tony has always ignored their criticism. He hasn’t cared. In fact, he has gotten up every morning starting when he was young, he’s gotten up every morning and he has followed a training process every single day.

Every morning he has gotten up and gotten psyched up with music. Next, he has always imagined his goal every morning. After this he was primed for success. Then, starting in childhood, right up until now he has trained hard every single day, every single morning. Now finally, one day, one specific day the world championships came. He went to the world championships, Tony did. At the world championships he raced against Charlie the cheetah, of course, the world champion.

Charlie got drunk the night before, but the alcohol wore off the next morning. Tony did not get drunk, he went to bed early, he woke up early. In the morning Charlie felt bad, but he still was confident about winning. In the morning Tony set the tone for victory, as usual. He woke up. He listened to powerful exciting music, and he imagined victory. Finally they had the race and it was very close. Charlie won, but he was pissed. He was pissed off, he was angry, because it was so close. He usually won easily.

On the other hand, Tony was psyched. He was excited. He was psyched up. He was psyched about the race, even though he lost, because it was so close. He knew he had a chance, and in fact, the next year at the Olympics, Tony the turtle finally won the gold medal in sprinting.

And that is the end of our point of view stories. Listen to this every single day, don’t think about grammar rules, no-no-no, just listen, just notice the changes in the sentences. Listen to all of the VIP lessons, all of the audios, listen to them every single day. If you have time listen to each one twice a day. Be like Tony, set the tone. Train hard every day, you will speak English fluently, powerfully and persuasively.

See you next time.
