Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 2 A Strange Drink Looking around the dimly lit hall,
2
Alice spotted a glass table.
3
On top of it lay a tiny gold key.
4
I wonder if this will unlock a door,
5
Alice said as she picked up the key.
6
She tried the key in every door on both sides of the hall.
7
It was too small, but Alice didn't give up.
8
She tried again, and this time she discovered a small curtain.
9
Hmm, this wasn't here before,
10
Alice said, pulling aside the curtain.
11
Behind it was a door about 15 inches high,
12
and the tiny gold key fit perfectly.
13
Alice opened the door and knelt down.
14
She peered through a small passage to a beautiful garden.
15
Wow!
16
That's the loveliest garden I've ever seen, she said.
17
Look at those flowers and that fountain!
18
Alice wanted to wander through the garden,
19
but she was too big.
20
She wished she could make herself small enough to fit through the door.
21
I'm sure I could, if only I knew how to begin, she said.
22
So many strange things had already happened that nothing seemed impossible anymore.
23
There is no point in waiting by the little door, Alice thought.
24
She headed back to the table.
25
Maybe there will be another key,
26
or instructions for shrinking myself, Alice said.
27
Instead, she found a bottle which had definitely not been there before.
28
Tied around its neck was a paper label.
29
Drink me, it said in large beautiful letters.
30
I'm not going to drink some strange liquid, Alice said.
31
That could be poison.
32
Alice examined the label carefully,
33
but there was no mention of poison.
34
So she decided to take a sip.
35
Mmm, that's delicious.
36
Alice licked her lips.
37
It's like a mixture of cherry tart,
38
pineapple, roast turkey, and buttered toast.
39
Alice liked the liquid so much that she soon finished the whole bottle.
40
And then something strange began to happen.
41
What an odd feeling.
42
Alice looked around her.
43
I seem to be shrinking.
44
And indeed, Alice was only ten inches high,
45
but she was not upset.
46
She was now the perfect size to fit through the little door.
47
Alice was eager to enter the garden,
48
but she waited a few minutes.
49
I want to be sure I've finished shrinking, she said.
50
What if I keep shrinking until there's nothing left of me?
51
Fortunately for Alice, that didn't happen.
52
So she walked over to the little door,
53
which had mysteriously closed again.
54
Alice reached in her pocket for the key.
55
Oh no!
56
I left the key on the table!
57
Alice raced back to the table.
58
She could see the key quite clearly through the glass.
59
But there was no way she could reach it.
60
Trying to climb one of the glass legs,
61
Alice slid back to the floor.
62
The leg was so slippery.
63
Still, she kept trying until she was exhausted.
64
Alice sat down and cried,
65
but that only lasted for a minute.
66
Crying won't help you, Alice said to herself.
67
She wiped her eyes.
68
Now there was a glass box under the table.
69
Inside was a cake with the words EAT ME spelled out in raisins.
70
If this cake makes me grow larger,
71
I can reach the key, Alice said.
72
If I grow smaller, I can creep under the door.
73
Either way, I'll get into that garden.
74
Alice took a bite and nothing happened.
75
She was very disappointed because she now expected strange things to occur.
76
This is a useless cake, Alice said.
77
But she ate it all anyway.
78
And then she began to grow.

なぜこの動画でスピーキングを練習するのか？
アリスの不思議な冒険の第2章では、アリスが不思議な飲み物を飲んで小さくなる様子が描かれています。このストーリーには、英語のスピーキング練習に適したコンテキストが豊富にあります。アリスの感情や反応が繊細に表現されており、英語シャドーイング（shadow speak）を通じて、キャラクターの気持ちを理解し、自分の言葉として表現する力を育むことができます。また、物語のリズムやイントネーションを真似ることで、英語スピーキング練習にも役立ちます。
文法と表現の文脈
この動画では、以下のような重要な文法や表現が見られます：
- 疑問文: 「I wonder if this will unlock a door.」この疑問文を使うことで、思考を表現することができます。
- 条件文: 「What if I keep shrinking until there's nothing left of me?」条件文は可能性を表し、より複雑な表現を練習できます。
- 感情表現: 「Wow! That's the loveliest garden I've ever seen.」感情を込めた表現は、スピーキングにおいて重要です。
これらの文法や表現は、英語の発音を良くするためにも役立ちます。特に物語の中での繰り返しや日常の会話に応用できます。
一般的な発音の罠
動画内には、発音やアクセントにおいて注意が必要な単語があります。例えば、「drink」は爆発的に発音されるため、正確に発音する練習が必要です。また、「wonder」や「garden」などの単語も、特に日本語の音にはない音が含まれているため、エクササイズを通じて意識して練習することが大切です。
こうした発音の罠を把握することで、shadowspeakを通じて自信を持って話す力が養われます。アリスの冒険に触れることで楽しみながら英語力を高めていきましょう。
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。
