Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, we're going to look at the sentence rhythm and intonation in the Lian Du video, describe a healthy activity you enjoy doing.
4
Let's take a look.
5
I love running.
6
It's definitely my favorite hobby.
7
To begin your answer with this kind of falling tone shows that you're kind of proud or very confident in your answer.
8
I love running.
9
Falling down to a low tone at the last word there.
10
I love running.
11
It's definitely my favorite hobby.
12
Favorite hobby.
13
It's definitely my favorite hobby.
14
Every morning when I go for a run, I feel so fresh and alive.
15
Every morning, every morning, we rise here on morning.
16
Every morning when I go for a run, go for a run, go for a run, we're kind of rising here.
17
We say for a in a low tone and go and run in higher tones.
18
Go for a run.
19
I feel so fresh and alive.
20
So, and I feel so fresh and alive.
21
I feel so fresh and alive.
22
It also wakes me up and gets me ready for the day ahead.
23
It also, it also wakes me up and gets me ready for the day ahead.
24
It also, we fall here, we kind of rise a little bit if you'd like on it also, but then we fall as we stress the word also.
25
It also wakes me up, wakes me up, wakes me up and gets me ready and gets me ready.
26
We rise here
27
and gets me ready we fall on ready gets me ready
28
for the day ahead further is spoken in a low tone
29
for the day ahead ahead is the end of this sentence and we fall on that word ahead
30
for the day ahead this next sentence is a little bit trickier
31
and there are different ways to pronounce this
32
that all sound good here's what i said in the video i usually go running alone
33
but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
34
I usually go running alone, but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
35
This is comparing before, when I started running in high school, to now.
36
I usually go running alone.
37
Now because usually go running alone is at the beginning of this whole long sentence, we kind of stay in a high tone.
38
We don't go all the way down.
39
We could go all the way down, and that wouldn't sound bad, but in my example, this is what I said naturally.
40
I usually go running alone, but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
41
I usually go running alone, but when I started running in high school, started high school, those are spoken in high and rising tones to show
42
that you're kind of setting them apart from the rest of your answer.
43
When I started running in high school, your answer isn't about when you started running,
44
so you kind of use your voice to separate it from the rest of the answer.
45
I was part of a track team.
46
Because we went so high at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence, we go down low.
47
A track team, track team.
48
We stress track, and we let team fall and be a lower tone.
49
I usually go running alone, but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
50
Since I run alone now, it's totally up to me where I want to run.
51
Since I run alone now, alone now, we kind of go up and then rise again on now to show that we're going to continue the sentence.
52
Since I run alone now, it's totally up to me,
53
totally up to me, with one kind of rising and falling tone over the whole sentence section.
54
It's totally up to me.
55
It's totally up to me where I want to run, where I want to run.
56
Again, we kind of go up and down, up and down, totally up to me where I want to run.
57
And I like to vary my roots, and I like to vary my roots, so I don't just get in the habit.
58
Don't just get in the habit.
59
Don't just get in the habit of running the same way every time.
60
The same way every time.
61
Again, we rise and fall.
62
Running the same way every time.
63
Running is healthy for me.
64
Running is healthy for me.
65
Again, we keep rising on me because we're showing that we're going to continue speaking in this sentence.
66
Running is healthy for me because it keeps my heart and lungs strong and active.
67
Now here we have a little bit of a fast rise and fall, rise and fall, because it keeps my heart and lungs strong and active.
68
We de-stress my and and keeps my heart and lungs strong and active.
69
I love running.
70
It's definitely my favorite hobby.
71
Every morning when I go for a run, I feel so fresh and alive.

It also wakes me up and gets me ready for the day ahead.
73
I usually go running alone, but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
74

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオでは、アメリカ英語のリズムやイントネーションに焦点を当てた内容が展開されています。「健康的な活動について語る」というテーマは、自己表現の練習に最適です。また、自信を持って自分の趣味を語ることで、英語を話す際のコミュニケーション能力を向上させます。生活に関する話題は、特にIELTSスピーキング対策にも役立ち、日常会話において自然な英語を使う基礎を築くことができます。
文脈における文法と表現
- 「I love running.」 - これは自己紹介や嗜好を表現する基本的な文です。強い感情を持っていることを強調するために使われます。
- 「I usually go running alone」と「but when I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.」 - ここでの対比的な構造は、過去と現在の自分を比較しながら細かく表現しています。
- 「It also wakes me up and gets me ready for the day ahead.」 - 意味を強調する「also」の使い方が形と内容を強調し、日常生活での実用性を高めています。
これらの文法構造を理解することで、英語の発音を良くする助けとなり、他の文脈でも応用が可能になります。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオ内で特に注意すべき発音のポイントとして、「for a run」や「track team」があります。これらのフレーズは、音がつながって聞こえるため、正しい発音を練習することが重要です。特に「running」の「r」と「n」の音が連結する部分や、「track team」の際の口の開き方について練習することで、より流暢に話せるようになります。また、shadow speechを活用して、耳で聞き取ったフレーズを声に出す練習をしましょう。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、こうした発音に特別な注意を払い、徐々に改善していくことが鍵です。
このビデオを参考にしながら、日常会話の中で自分の趣味を自信を持って語れるよう、トレーニングを続けていきましょう。shadowspeakを取り入れ、声に出して言うことを繰り返すことで、自然な英語力を身に付けられます。
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。
