Part 1 You will hear a man asking a friend for
2
advice on things to do in the city with a family of visitors.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
5
Sandra, I seem to remember you had some family visitors staying with you recently.
6
Yeah, that's right.
7
My brother and his family were here a couple of months ago.
8
Okay, good.
9
Well, I wanted to ask your advice.
10
I've got my cousin and her family visiting next month, and as I don't have kids, I've no idea where to take them.
11
Right.
12
What about accommodation?
13
Are they going to stay with you in your flat?
14
No, thankfully.
15
There wouldn't be room.
16
My cousin wants me to recommend a hotel.
17
Do you know anywhere?
18
Yes, I do, actually.
19
I always recommend people stay at the King's Hotel.
20
Where's that near?
21
It's about five minutes' walk from Murray Station, so nice and central.
22
It's actually on George Street.
23
Oh yes, I know.
24
I think they're on quite a tight budget.
25
So how much roughly is it to stay there?
26
If you book a family room, it's about £125 per night.
27
My brother paid for two double rooms in the end, and I think that was around £95 for each room.
28
Oh, that's not too bad.
29
So how old are your cousin's kids?
30
Twelve and nine.
31
So I want to organise some trips while they're here.
32
I was thinking of doing a bus tour of the city centre, as none of them have been here before.
33
Those bus tours are quite expensive.
34
I think it's better to do a walking tour.
35
It gives you a much better feel for the city.
36
There's one that starts from Colton Square.
37
It takes a couple of hours and doesn't cost that much.
38
Sounds good.
39
I'll look that up.
40
Thanks.
41
If the weather's nice, one thing you could do is visit the old fort.
42
You could get there by boat.
43
The whole trip takes half a day.
44
That's a really good idea.
45
I'd like to do that myself.
46
And if the weather's bad, I was thinking they could go to the science museum.
47
But maybe they could do that when I'm at work.
48
Yeah, don't forget, it's closed on Mondays.
49
They're here from Saturday for four nights, so Tuesday would be best, I think.
50
And it won't be so crowded then.
51
Saturdays are terrible.
52
I took my kids to the exhibition on old computers there, and it was far too crowded.
53
I wanted to go back, but it's finished now.
54
That's a shame.
55
My cousin's kids would have enjoyed that.
56
There's another one starting soon on space, which looks really good too.
57
OK, well, I'll mention that to my cousin.
58
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
59
Have you thought about where to take them to eat?
60
Well, I really like all the food stalls at Clacton Market.
61
My cousin's vegetarian.
62
I know it's one of the best places for that kind of food.
63
Definitely.
64
And there'll be loads of choice for the kids too.
65
You need to get there quite early though.
66
At the weekend, most of the stores stop serving lunch at 2.30.
67
Good point.
68
It's all going to need careful planning.
69
My cousin said she'd love to take the kids to a show at the theatre, but tickets are so expensive.
70
I know.
71
But you can get some good deals if you book online with bargain-tickets.com for the following day.
72
On some seats there's a 75% discount.
73
Really?
74
I must try and get some.
75
Yeah.
76
There are lots of things you can do for free as well.
77
No need to spend a fortune.
78
Like what?
79
They're coming next month, right?
80
Well, check and see if it's the same weekend as the Roots Music Festival in Blakewell Gardens.
81
R-O-O-T-S?
82
Yeah, check it out online.
83
It's always a family-friendly event, and there's no entry charge.
84
That sounds perfect.
85
And if you're in Blakewell Gardens, climb Telegraph Hill.
86
You'll be able to look right down on the port.
87
Everyone's always really impressed because it's so huge.
88
Oh, yeah.
89
I've been meaning to do that for ages.
90
I've heard the views amazing.
91
Yeah, it's really worth the effort.
92
Well, that's given me loads of ideas.
93
Thanks so much.
94
That is the end of part one.
95
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
96
Thank you.
97
Thank you.
98
Thank you.
99
Thank you.
100
Thank you.

練習のコツ

このビデオでは、英語の会話のスピードが比較的ゆっくりとしているため、英語シャドーイングが非常に効果的です。シャドースピーチの練習では、話者の発音やイントネーションを真似することが重要です。特に、家族や友人との会話の自然な流れを感じ取りましょう。具体的には、以下のポイントを意識して練習してみてください：

  • オーディオを数回繰り返し聞くことで、身体にリズムを馴染ませる。
  • 発音を注意深く聞き取るために、スロー再生機能を活用すること。
  • 実際に声を出してシャドーイングを行うことで、発話スピードを向上させる。
  • 旅行や観光に関連する表現を他のシチュエーションでも使用して練習する。

このように、YouTubeで英語学習や意味のあるコンテキストで練習しながら、自然と英語力が向上します。

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。
