1. Which job has the girl decided to do?
11
Have you thought what job you would like to do?
12
Mmm, I think that as I'm a very sociable person, I could become a shop assistant.
13
You'd be good at that.
14
Maybe, but my mum says that kind of work can be quite tiring, as I will have to deal with difficult customers sometimes.
15
Why don't you become a teacher?
16
You're very good at explaining things to others.
17
Good idea, but I like better to work as a nurse.
18
I enjoy looking after people who are sick, so that's what I'll do.
19
OK, but I still think that being a teacher would be an excellent job for you.

Now, listen again.

34
Are you on a diet?
35
No, but I don't like the pizza from this place.
36
I only prefer their burgers.
37
So, do you want to order burgers and chips for both of us?
38
Now that I think, the last time I ate a burger from that place, it wasn't well cooked.

So just a salad.

Okay then, I'll take my first choice.

Although I've given up, as I don't have enough time to play anymore, I still think that it's worth trying it.
59
I joined the school's volleyball team three weeks ago and I spent my whole time in practising for next Sunday's match.
60
It's a shame.
61
You were pretty good.
62
Do you still have guitar lessons or have you stopped them as well?
63
No, I didn't need to as guitar lessons are once a week and last only an hour.

I need you to help me buy a new coat, as next month I'll be going on a school trip to Iceland.
76
I had also thought to buy a new scarf and gloves, but my mum said to take my brother's ones.
77
Although I like his scarf and I'll take it with me, his gloves aren't my size.
78
Mum said that she will buy me a new pair that she had seen online.
79
So, please can we meet tomorrow at the big department store after school?

You always help me buy clothes that suit me fine.

No. My sister is short hair and she also wears glasses.
94
Fortunately, in this picture, she doesn't wear this terrible hat that she always wears during the summer months.
95
I tell her that it doesn't suit her and that it's very old -fashioned, but she keeps saying that it protects her head from sun.
96
Anyway, I can see her now and she's very beautiful.

There's also the new movie with Matt Dillon at the same cinema.

You know, I'm not keen on romantic films.

133
Where do you go on holiday this summer?
134
I don't know, but I'd prefer to go to an island and not to the mountains, as we usually do with my parents.
135
My mum says that because we live near the sea, she needs a change on our holiday, so we always go to the mountains and seep in tents,
136
or to big cities and visit museums all the time.
137
I don't like either of them.

日常生活の場面を再現した会話

このビデオの会話は、「将来の職業選択」や「食事の注文」といった身近なシチュエーションを描いています。友人同士の自然なやり取りの中で、相手の意見を聞き、自分の考えを伝える過程がリアルに表現されています。こうした日常的な会話は、英語のスピーキング練習に最適であり、英語シャドーイングの素材としても理想的です。

覚えておきたい便利なフレーズとコロケーション

あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ

さっそく英語スピーキング練習を始めましょう。ここでの課題は「shadowspeak(シャドースピーチ)」と呼ばれる技法を使うことです。具体的な手順は次の通りです。

  1. ビデオの会話を1文ずつ聞きます。
  2. 聞いた直後に、同じ速さ・同じ抑揚で繰り返します。
  3. 特に「I enjoy looking after people who are sick」のような長い文は、息継ぎのタイミングも合わせて練習しましょう。
  4. 2回繰り返したら、全体を一気に聞いて、自分で話せるようになるまで練習します。

この練習は、発音だけでなくリズムやイントネーションも磨くことができ、shadow speechの基本を身につけるのに最適です。毎日10分間続けると、短期間で大きな進歩が見られるでしょう。

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。
