Hello.

Hello.
3
Are you Rose Hall by any chance?
4
Yes, that's me.
5
And you must be Thomas from England, right?
6
I guess my accent gave me away.
7
Exactly.
8
Nice to meet you.
9
Welcome on board.
10
I'm so glad you're here.
11
Thanks.
12
I'm very pleased to be here.
13
I'm sure you'll fit in nicely.
14
After all, you come highly recommended.
15
Your articles are really good.
16
Thank you.
17
Oh, here's Ella.
18
Thomas, this is Ella, the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
19
It's good to finally meet you, Thomas.
20
Nice to meet you, too.
21
You're from Birmingham, right?
22
Exactly.
23
I'm from Birmingham.
24
Is this your first time in New York?
25
It is my very first time here in New York,
26
so I'm really excited.
27
I got into New York two days ago.
28
What do you think about it so far?
29
It's fantastic.
30
I really like it.
31
I like the vibe here.
32
It's really energetic.
33
I feel really blessed to be here because it's one of the cities I've always wanted to go to.
34
What I really appreciate about New York is that you can discover the city very well by foot.
35
New York seems to be the ideal city for long strolls which I enjoy very much.
36
The fact that this city never sleeps,
37
this continuous flow of energy is quite thrilling.
38
You need to be very disciplined,
39
as a city like New York offers an infinite number of distractions.
40
You're right.
41
I'll do my best to stay focused on my work and do a good job here.
42
Let me show you to your office.
43
It's located at the end of the hall.
44
What do you think?
45
I didn't know I'd have my own office.
46
We thought you'd need your own private space.
47
I can see you've installed a few appliances here.
48
Brilliant.
49
Ella insisted that we set you up with all this state-of-the-art equipment.
50
From here, you can communicate with any department and get all the information you need.
51
You've put in a sound system too?
52
Everything looks great.
53
Thank you.
54
How many people did you work with in Birmingham? him.
55
I had a team of three.
56
Well, here you'll have six people in your team.
57
I'll introduce you to them after lunch.
58
That sounds good.
59
Can you tell me a bit about my schedule?
60
Well, there's a meeting every Monday,
61
as well as a meet-up with various heads of department on Thursday afternoons,
62
just so we know what we're doing.
63
Other than that, how you organize your time is up to you.
64
That's fine.
65
I'm a good time manager.
66
It's time for lunch now.
67
Let me take you to a nice place.
68
We'll get a chance to get better acquainted with each other.
69
Sounds great.
70
Are you ready to order?
71
Yes, please.
72
Can I get you something to start with?
73
No, thank you.
74
I'd like the tuna with a green salad.
75
And for you, sir?
76
I'll have the steak and chips, please.
77
Chips?
78
Uh, you mean fries?
79
Oh, right.
80
I forgot you call them fries here.
81
Uh, with fries, of course.
82
How would you like your steak?
83
Rare, medium, or well done?
84
Well done.
85
Okay, and to drink?
86
Water, please.
87
Still or sparkling?
88
Sparkling.
89
And a glass of apple juice for me, please?
90
Can you tell me where the toilets are?
91
You can say restroom here.
92
Oh, yeah, sorry.
93
Where is the restroom, please?
94
The restroom is at the back of a hallway on the left side.
95
Thank you.
96
The tuner for you, ma'am,
97
and the steak for you, sir.
98
So, tell me, Thomas, what are you going to write about?
99
Well, to start with, my first impressions of New York.
100
You know, the nightlife, the music, things like that.
101
Are you planning to do any interviews?
102
I'd like to.
103
Do you have any suggestions?
104
Well, I know some great musicians,
105
and I also have some contacts in the theatre and dance.
106
That would be great.
107
Maybe we could go to a show,
108
and after that you could talk to the actors.
109
I really like that idea.
110
That was a good day's work, Thomas.
111
You're doing a great job here.
112
Thanks.
113
I have to get to Manhattan now for an interview I have to take.
114
I need to get to Bloom's Tavern?
115
How do I get to Greenwich Village on the Underground?
116
We call it Subway here.
117
Oh, yeah, right.
118
Go to the subway station at 7th Avenue.
119
Take the B train to West 4th Street.
120
How many stops is that?
121
Six or seven.
122
Okay, and then?
123
From West 4th Street, take the A train and get off at 14th Street.
124
And do you know where Bloom's Tavern is?
125
Come out of the subway on 8th Avenue,
126
go straight for about 50 yards,
127
and take the first right.
128
That's Greenwich Avenue.
129
Bloom's Tavern is in the second building on the right and is situated on the first floor.
130
Is there a lift in the building?
131
Oh, you don't need an elevator since it's on the first floor,
132
which is at street level.
133
Oh, in UK, the floor above is called the first floor and the street level floor is called the ground floor.
134
I see.
135
Here, the street level floor is called the first floor.
136
OK, thanks.
137
See you later.
138
And don't get lost.
139
Are you okay?
140
You look out of sorts.
141
I'm a bit tired this morning.
142
You aren't exactly in good shape, are you?
143
I know.
144
I think I'm eating too much.
145
Then eat less.
146
It isn't easy.
147
I eat out all the time.
148
And the portions in American restaurants are enormous.
149
No one cooks meat like Americans.
150
It's very easy to put on weight here.
151
You don't do enough exercise.
152
I walk a lot.
153
Walking isn't enough, Thomas.
154
Do you do anything to keep fit?
155
Not anymore.
156
I used to cycle in Birmingham.
157
So why don't you get a bike here?
158
Bicycling is permitted on all main and local streets throughout the city.
159
Anyway, my flat is near the office.
160
I don't need a bike.
161
We call it apartment here.
162
You can try jogging or running.
163
You know, I go running every morning in Central Park.
164
Really?
165
It's so beautiful early in the morning.
166
Why don't you come with me?
167
Okay, that's a great idea,
168
but I don't have any trainers.
169
Trainers?
170
You mean sneakers?
171
You can buy some.
172
Is there a sports shop near here?
173
Sure, there's one across the street.
174
I'll come by your place tomorrow morning.
175
Okay, what time?
176
6.45.
177
6?
178
45. Can we make it a bit later?
179
Say 7.45?
180
That's too late, Thomas.
181
Let's make it 7.15.
182
OK, 7.15.
183
Excellent.
184
See you later.
185
Great.
186
Can I help you, sir?
187
Yes, do you have these in an 8?
188
Just a minute, I'll go and check Here you are,
189
these are an 8, do you want to try them on?
190
No thanks, I'm sure they'll be fine, how much are they?
191
They're $85.25 Oh, it says $73.99 Yes,
192
but there's added sales tax of 15% Oh,
193
okay, do you take MasterCard?
194
Sure.
195
Can I help you?
196
Yeah, I bought these about half an hour ago.
197
Yes, I remember.
198
Is there a problem?
199
Yeah, I'm afraid they're too small.
200
I should have tried them on.
201
What size are they?
202
They're an 8, but I take a UK 8.
203
Oh, right.
204
Yeah, so a UK 8 is a US 9.
205
Do you have a pair?
206
I'll go and check.
207
Just a minute.
208
I'm sorry, we don't have these in a nine.
209
But we do have these,
210
and they're the same price.
211
Or you can have a refund.
212
No, I don't want a refund.
213
I'll take this pair then, please.
214
No problem.
215
Do you have the receipt?
216
Yeah, here you are.
217
Are you okay?
218
Me?
219
Never better.
220
It's a beautiful fall day and the perfect weather for running, isn't it?
221
I think this is my favourite place in New York.
222
Yeah, a beautiful autumn day indeed.
223
Yes.
224
So how's it all going?
225
Are you happy you came?
226
The Central Park at 7.15 in the morning?
227
To New York, Thomas.
228
Yeah, of course I'm happy.
229
It's fantastic.
230
I'm glad, but you need to get in shape, Thomas.
231
I know.
232
I am a bit tired of eating out all the time.
233
It isn't good for my figure.
234
It's the restaurants you go to.
235
Why don't you come over to my place after work?
236
I could make you something a little healthier.
237
I'm a very good cook.
238
I'd really like that.
239
Thanks.
240
So, how do you feel now?
241
Are you ready to go again?
242
Oh yes, I'm ready.
243
Okay, we'll only go around two more times.
244
Are you okay?
245
I might be coming down with the flu or something.
246
Is there a chemist nearby?
247
You mean a pharmacy?
248
Yes, it's a three-minute walk from here, on your right side.
249
Good morning.
250
Can I help you?
251
I'm not feeling very well.
252
I think I have flu.
253
What are your symptoms?
254
I have a headache and a sore throat.
255
Do you have a temperature?
256
No, I don't think so.
257
Are you allergic to any drugs?
258
I'm allergic to penicillin.
259
No problem.
260
This is ibuprofen.
261
It'll make you feel better.
262
How many do I have to take?
263
Two every four hours.
264
If you don't feel better in 48 hours,
265
you should see a doctor.
266
Okay, thanks.
267
How much is that?
268
That's $6.99, please.
269
Thank you.
270
You're welcome.
271
What differences have you noticed so far between US and UK, Thomas?
272
Well, I was shocked to see everyone here expects you to pay them by check.
273
You hardly see any checks in the UK.
274
Your banking system works extremely slow.
275
Digital transfers from bank to bank are not easy.
276
That's hardly a problem in the UK.
277
I love that you can order your lunch in advance on the website of your favourite lunch place,
278
then pick it up from a shelf inside where it's tagged with your name.
279
This is so convenient.
280
I also noticed that you get ID'd absolutely everywhere,
281
while having brunch for example, or in bars.
282
When it comes to paying,
283
you're told the item is actually more expensive than it says on the price tag,
284
because a tax needs to be added to the overall price.
285
But I'm really enjoying living in the USA,
286
people are so friendly here.
287
I got invited to people's houses.
288
I got invited round to watch football games.
289
I got invited out for beers.
290
The Americans are very nice to be around.

練習のヒント
この動画の英語は比較的スムーズで聞き取りやすいですが、リズム感が大切です。英語シャドーイングを行う際は、まず動画を一時停止し、各フレーズを自分の言葉で繰り返してみましょう。その後、動画を再生して、実際の会話に合わせて声を出します。特に「I'm from Birmingham」や「It's my very first time here in New York」などのフレーズは、感情を込めて練習することでより自然になります。自分の声と動画の音声を合わせる「shadow speech」を意識しながら繰り返すことで、発音も改善されるでしょう。また、このプロセスを繰り返すことで、YouTubeで英語学習をする際の自信を高めることができます。
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。
