Thank you for trying Laura but your English needs more practice.
47
You made many mistakes today.
48
Yes, you're right. I will work harder.
49
Why don't we get you an English tutor?
50
With some lessons, the presentations will get easier.
51
Yes sir! Hey Laura, don't be too upset.
52
Public speaking in a new language is really hard.
53
But I made so many mistakes.
54
The manager is right, my English needs a lot of work.
55
I understand how you feel.
56
When I first joined this company, my English was terrible too.
57
Really? But you speak so well now!
58
Yes, but it took a lot of practice.
59
I was once in your position.
60
What did you do to improve?
61
Well, I started taking evening English classes.
62
And I practiced as much as possible by putting myself in situations to use English.
63
Like what situations?
64
Like going to coffee shops or stores and making myself order in English Even though it was scary at first.
65
Or watching English TV shows and movies.
66
Those are good ideas! I should try that.
67
And you know what really helped me?
68
Finding a partner to practice conversation with.
69
We can do that together if you want!
70
We can meet a few times a week, get a snack, and just chat in English.
71
I'll go slowly and correct you when needed.
72
Thank you, Helen!
73
Okay, let's start with some basic conversations.
74
You order for us.
75
Good morning.
76
Can I get a small coffee, please?
77
And for you, Laura?
78
Um... I would like... a tea?
79
No, no. One green tea, please.
80
Great job. You remembered to say "one" instead of "a" for the tea.
81
Thanks! Oh, and can I also get a muffin?
82
Yes, nicely done. What kind of muffin would you like?
83
I want... the blueberry muffin, please.
84
Describe one of the trees or flowers you see in as much detail as you can.
85
Okay... I see a tree with a very tall, thick trunk.
86
Its leaves are green and... oval-shaped?
87
With a pointed tip.
88
Good, good. What else?
89
Some of the leaves have... yellow or orange edges?
90
Is that normal?
91
Yes. That's perfect.
92
Those are the fall colors just starting to change.
93
Excuse me. How much are these apples?
94
Two dollars a pound.
95
Ah ok, I would like...four apples please.
96
No, wait, I do not know the weight.
97
One pound of apples, please.
98
Here you go!
99
Fantastic! You corrected yourself perfectly.
100
Speaking more slowly is helping me catch my own mistakes.
101
All right, team.
102
It's time for the monthly presentations.
103
Laura, you're up first this time.
104
Can you give us an update on the website project?
105
Yes, of course. I'm ready.
106
For the new website project with our top client, We have made good progress.
107
First, the design team created mockups for the home page and other main pages.
108
These mock-ups follow the client's branding colors and style.
109
Laura's English has really improved.
110
She sounds so much better.
111
Next, the development team started building the website framework.
112
They used coding to add the main navigation menus and layout structure.
113
As you can see here, the shopping cart feature is now working.
114
Users can add items, update quantities, and proceed to checkout.
115
Great work explaining that, Laura.
116
The client will be impressed.
117
Thank you. Finally, some other key features are the live chat box for customer support, and the user account login area.
118
And that's where we're at currently. Any other questions?
119
Excellent presentation, Laura.
120
Your English skills have come such a long way.
121
Thanks to lots of practice...and help from Helen.
122
Well, keep up the great work, both of you!
123
Helen. Helen! Thank you so much for everything.
124
Laura, your presentation was fantastic!
125
I'm so proud of you.
126
I couldn't have done it without your tips and practice sessions.
127
You really helped me improve my English.
128
Of course, I was happy to help.
129
but you put in all the hard work and effort yourself.
130
Your advice about watching shows and movies in English was great too.
131
It helped me with vocabulary and conversational phrases.
132
Keep doing that and your English will just get better and better over time.
133
I will. This is only the beginning for me.
134
Thank you, Helen.
135
You're a wonderful friend and I truly appreciate your support.
136
Learning a language is never easy, especially when it's not your mother tongue.
137
And English, a language full of quirks, is a challenge with lots of learners.
138
I know it's an uphill task to learn English and as an English learner, I agree.
139
It takes time and effort.
140
There were times that I also thought of giving up.
141
I felt helpless and desperate.
142
I don't know what I should do.
143
Everything seemed to be against me.
144
It was a hard time.
145
But then things changed.
146
I talked with my friends and they reminded me of what made me start all of this.
147
And what motivates me.
148
I pull myself together and get back to the right track.
149
Learning English is a journey without an ending.
150
You always learn and improve over time.
151
The thing is, you gotta set a clear goal and enjoy what you’re doing.
152
And I'm here to share with you my tips.
153
First, you need to figure out why you want to learn English.
154
What is your true purpose for this?
155
You want a scholarship or you need to apply for your job.
156
Seeking a new opportunity.
157
Or it can simply be to communicate with people around the world, to make new friends.
158
The reason for this can be diverse, but it should be clear.
159
I need you to write it down on the paper.
160
Always remind yourself of that.
161
Once you identify your goal, let it be on the top of your priority list.
162
Make it engraved on your mind.
163
Expose yourself to it on a daily basis.
164
Stick them somewhere you see every day.
165
On the door, your desk, on the wall, etc..
166
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
167
When you've got your own goal, put it into action.
168
Make time for it.
169
Spend a certain period of time in one day for your learning.
170
For example, you can spend 2 hours per day practicing speaking English.
171
Or just 10 to 15 minutes to memorize new words.
172
And the important thing is, it doesn't matter how long.
173
What matters is how often you do it.
174
That's the difference.
175
You can save less time for your learning, but do it on the regular.
176
It can be every day, three times per week.
177
For instance, but it should be consistent.
178
You get it?
179
When you have time for learning, think of a method which can help you learn at your best.
180
To me, I try to let myself see, listen and expose myself to English as much as possible.
181
Set your phone language to English.
182
This is an interesting and effective way to learn English, because the phone is what I always have with me.
183
And it works because I am already familiar with all the buttons, functions, and all the apps.
184
But this is not really recommended for beginners.
185
They may get confused.
186
Instead of making things easier to learn, they get frustrated and discouraged.
187
So my method may suit some, but it may not be the right one for others.
188
Be mindful. Ask yourself what motivates you the most.
189
And what can help you learn the most effectively, but not make you bored and give up at the same time.
190
If you haven't found anything which can help you yet, don't worry.
191
It also took me months, even years to try and figure out what suits me best.
192
And remember, learning English takes time.
193
You will always have to keep learning no matter what level you are right now.
194
Even after years of practicing and trying, I still tell myself to keep going.
195
and never give up at any cost.
196
You can take things slow, just don’t let things go.
197
Back in the time when I just began to study English.
198
I couldn't speak a word.
199
I spent months at my desk cramming and trying to learn by heart all the new words.
200
I wanted to learn as much as I could at that time.
201
I thought it would be easier if I shorten the time of learning by learning more.
202
But I was wrong.
203
I was overwhelmed and got off track.
204
That was the time I realized that I needed to change.
205
I would not rush anymore and focus on what's more effective.
206
It worked and I made clear improvements.
207
So take small steps and enjoy the journey.
208
What you should do is to let your mind be stress free.
209
That's when you can learn the most.
210
If you feel things are getting too much, slow down.
211
Putting too much pressure on yourself will not benefit you at all.
212
I know sometimes pressure might come in useful.
213
It makes people focus and encourages them to perform better.
214
However, excessive levels of pressure can result in negative outcomes.
215
Those are anxiety, nervousness, or even depression.
216
One more thing, your journey will be great when you have company.
217
Self-learning is important, But having supportive friends who join with you is also perfect for learning.
218
You will be surprised by how much you can achieve together.
219
Learning in pairs, or groups can also help you to remember things better, and longer as well.
220
Also, when taking part in a group of learners, they help each other to refine their understanding or correct mistakes that they can't see by themselves.
221
Many hands make light work.
222
If you have any confusion, ask your friends who's learning with you or the internet can be a great idea.
223
There are tons of learning websites, platforms for English learners on the Internet.
224
You can ask or answer questions from someone who is thousands miles away from you.
225
It’s getting easier and easier nowadays to get help for something.
226
Especially when learning English becomes something popular and essential.
227
so you can consider looking for a company when learning English.
228
It’s like having extra support, motivation and better retention as well.
229
So why not?
230
So learning English is not rocket science.
231
It’s also not a piece of cake.
232
But if I can do this, so will you.
233
Do not let anything stop you.
234
There are hundreds, thousands of people trying to learn English everyday, but not everyone can actually manage to do it.
235
Having a strong motivation and the right method, is the base for you to start.
236
I hope you will make it.

このビデオでスピーキング練習をする理由
このビデオでは、Lauraさんが新しいチームメンバーとして自己紹介をするシーンが描かれています。彼女の初日や緊張感を伴う英語のプレゼンテーションは、実際のビジネスシーンでの会話における現実的な状況を反映しています。このような実践的な環境でスピーキングを練習することで、語彙や表現力を向上させることができるのです。特に、IELTS スピーキング対策をしている方にとって、このような動画は非常に役立ちます。
文法とコンテクスト内の表現
- 自己紹介のフレーズ: Lauraは「私の名前はLauraです」と言っています。自己紹介は英語学習者にとって重要なスキルです。
- 申し訳ないと言う表現: Lauraは「すみません、表現するのが難しいです」と言います。この表現は、うまく言えない時に使う重要なフレーズです。
- 「新しい顧客」について: 「新しいクライアントのためのプロジェクトです」と言い換えされます。正しいビジネス用語を知っていることは、専門的な環境でのコミュニケーションに必須です。
- 「ユーザーフレンドリーなナビゲーション」: これは、ウェブサイト設計において非常に重要な概念です。適切な表現を使えることは、より明確なコミュニケーションにつながります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
このビデオでは、特に注意が必要な発音の表現があります。例えば、「client」と「customer」の使い方は、ビジネス英語で異なる意味を持ちます。正しい単語を発音できることは、相手に正確に意図を伝えるために重要です。また、「shopping cart」や「user-friendly」など、特定のフレーズは、英語の発音を良くするための練習に役立ちます。
このビデオを見ながら、英語シャドーイングを行うことで、発音を改善し、自分のスピーキングスキルを自然に向上させることができます。ShadowSpeak（影のスピーチ）を使って、繰り返して練習することで、言葉のリズムやイントネーションを身につけられます。
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。
