1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at the intonation patterns in a short piece where I'm answering the question,
4
describe an important food in your country.
5
Let's take a look.
6
In the U.S., I would say corn is the most important crop.
7
In the U.S., in the U.S.,
8
so this is interesting, it's the topic of the whole sentence.
9
In the U.S., in the U.S.,
10
we're starting our answer to the question,
11
so I'm using a high tone,
12
and I'm rising because it's a comma.
13
In the U.S., I would say,
14
in the US, I would say,
15
we have these rising tones here,
16
and then corn gets a falling tone.
17
That's our answer.
18
In the US, I would say corn.
19
I would say corn.
20
I would say corn is the most important crop.
21
And now hear those stresses at the end there.
22
Most important crop.
23
I would say corn is the most important crop.
24
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
25
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
26
So these words were and before get low and kind of unstressed tones.
27
And the word of thousands of years,
28
it kind of gets a very low tone too,
29
except it's in this phrase,
30
thousands of years, thousands of years,
31
thousands of years, and so it has to follow these other words.
32
Normally a word like of gets a very reduced tone because it's just a function word.
33
It doesn't have much meaning in the sentence except for the grammar information that it gives you.
34
Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived, arrived.
35
Remember, even though this is a long sentence,
36
we have to keep going up with every comma.
37
We can't finish the sentence here at the word arrived because there's still more in the sentence.
38
Thousands of years before Europeans arrived,
39
and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
40
Now everyone in the world, everyone in the world.
41
We have that long phrase,
42
and that's the most important part of this section of the sentence.
43
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
44
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
45
Sometimes.
46
Sometimes.
47
I'm kind of rising at the end of this sentence,
48
which is an unusual pattern for a declarative sentence that ends in a period.
49
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
50
Eats corn sometimes.
51
That's just kind of showing you that I'm still adding more information later.
52
It is the end of the sentence,
53
and I'm going a little bit lower.
54
I'm not saying world sometimes, right?
55
I'm not as high as world when I say sometimes,
56
but I'm still not finished with my idea.
57
Everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
58
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
59
now I'm continuing my idea right,
60
so that's why I had to stay high with the tone on sometimes.
61
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
62
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
63
So here we're kind of contrasting.
64
There's two sections to this sentence.
65
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
66
rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
67
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
68
Fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall.
69
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
70
and we use it feed lots of animals too.
71
Animals too.
72
Some stress points there at the end of the sentence.
73
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
74
Corn or something made from corn,
75
rising tones there before our commas.
76
Corn or something made from corn,
77
made from corn, and made gets a little bit of a extra stress here
78
because we're contrasting slightly corn or something made from corn,
79
two different things, right?
80
A or B is in a lot of foods.
81
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
82
A lot of foods people don't even realize.
83
Now here I don't give these words strong falling tones,
84
they're not strongly stressed, I'm just kind of using a lower
85
and kind of gently going down tone to illustrate that it's the end of my idea.
86
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
87
Is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
88
So the word foods I could say with a kind of a higher floating tone
89
or give it a little bit of a stress.
90
Both are fine.
91
A lot of of foods people don't even realize.
92
A lot of foods people don't even realize.
93
In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.
94
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived,
95
and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
96
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
97
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
98
Corn, or something made from corn,
99
is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.

- 初めは音声をゆっくりと聞き、イントネーションやリズムに注目してください。
- 次に、音声を聞きながら声に出して繰り返すことで、自分の発音を確認します。この時、英語の発音を良くするために、声のトーンに気をつけてください。
- 特に、文の途中のカンマの前後で声を上げたり下げたりするポイントを意識しましょう。
- 練習の際は、自分の発音を録音して、どの部分がうまくできていて、どの部分が改善が必要かを分析することも効果的です。
- このように、英語スピーキング練習を繰り返すことで、実際の会話でも自信を持って話せるようになるでしょう。
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。
