シャドーイング練習: 15 Comparing Things - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
Recording 11 The Olympics is probably the most exciting event in the sports calendar.
2
It's one of the few opportunities we get to see some of the best athletes in the world competing against each other.
3
And amazingly, each year they seem to be getting better and better.
4
So you might imagine that the Masters Games, which is for athletes aged 30 and over, would be less exciting to watch.
5
Well, this may not be true for long, because recent studies have shown that older athletes are getting faster and fitter.
6
Now, it's true they're not as fast as their younger counterparts, and probably younger runners will always be faster than older runners.
7
However, runners aged 50 and over are actually speeding up more rapidly than younger people.
8
The researchers analyzed the finishing times of 415 ,000 runners in the New York Marathon between 1983 and 1999,
9
and discovered that finishers from the older group showed the greatest increases in speed.
10
Interestingly, women aged 60 to 68 improved the most markedly, running on average four minutes faster each year.
11
Men of the same age ran just over one minute faster than previously.
12
Not only that, a second study proved
13
that older athletes can achieve the same degree of physical improvement as those in their 20s and 30s.
14
In other words, they are just as likely to achieve their peak fitness as younger athletes.
15
25 years ago, few 60 -year -old men and even fewer women would have considered it possible to complete a marathon,
16
let alone set record running times.
17
The researchers concluded that people grow weaker not simply because of age, but because they don't keep as active as they did when they were younger.
18
It would seem that the longer athletes keep competing, the greater their chances of setting new records are.
19
Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
