1
Hello?
2
Hello.
3
My name is John, and I'm calling to ask about the apartment for rent.
4
I saw your advertisement online.
5
Yes!
6
Thanks for calling, John.
7
I'm Matthew.
8
I have a two-bedroom apartment and I'm looking for a roommate to share the rent.
9
Great!
10
Where is the apartment located?
11
The address is 345 South Street, Apartment C.
12
It is across from the library and right next door to the pizza restaurant.
13
I know exactly where that is.
14
That's a great location.
15
Yes, I find it very convenient.
16
And what is the rent?
17
It's $800 per month, so your half would be $400.
18
That sounds good to me.
19
Would you like to come by and check out the apartment?
20
That would be great.
21
How about 5 p.m today?
22
Perfect.
23
I'll see you then.
24
So, John, I've prepared a few questions to see if you'd be a good match as a roommate.
25
Are you ready?
26
Go for it!
27
Okay.
28
First of all, are you a smoker?
29
I am not a smoker.
30
Do you smoke?
31
I don't, and I'm really glad you don't either.
32
I would prefer to keep the apartment smoke-free.
33
Me too.
34
I cannot stand the smell of smoke.
35
Perfect.
36
Next question.
37
Are you a night owl or an early bird?
38
I tend to get up early because I like to get to the gym early and work out most days.
39
I've always liked staying active and fit.
40
Great, I'm an early bird as well,
41
and I like to run in the morning whenever I get the chance.
42
How often would you plan on having friends or family visit?
43
Are you very outgoing?
44
I would probably have friends over a few nights a week,
45
but I wouldn't host a lot of parties.
46
I'm pretty laid back and prefer a night of playing cards with friends,
47
rather than a loud and crazy dance party.
48
My little brother will probably come visit a few times a year.
49
But he is really friendly and easy to get along with.
50
That sounds good.
51
I do host a few parties a year,
52
but otherwise, I too just have a few friends over every once in a while.
53
How old is your brother?
54
He's 16.
55
He might be coming to college here in a few years.
56
Do you have siblings?
57
I have a brother too,
58
but he is older than me.
59
He's married and has kids,
60
so he will not be visiting me anytime soon.
61
I think it's cool if your brother wants to come visit us a few times.
62
That shouldn't be a problem.
63
Another question.
64
When it comes to chores and cleaning,
65
what tasks do you prefer to take on?
66
And how clean do you expect the apartment to be?
67
I generally like things to be pretty tidy.
68
I'll gladly help out to make sure we keep the apartment clean.
69
I'll do the dishes and run the vacuum often.
70
How clean do you like to keep things?
71
I'm pretty neat as well.
72
I hate coming home to a messy apartment.
73
So I'm constantly cleaning up the kitchen and mopping the floors.
74
I'd also help out with cleaning the bathroom and dusting around the apartment.
75
It sounds like we would both keep things clean, which is good.
76
What are you studying in school?
77
I'm a chemistry and a biology major.
78
I hope to become a doctor one day.
79
Wow, that's impressive.
80
I am majoring in business,
81
but I am not exactly sure what I will do after I graduate.
82
Do you have any questions for me?
83
Yes.
84
In general, what are some things you like to do?
85
How do you spend your weekends and free time?
86
I like to go to the movies a lot.
87
I also like to cook and try new recipes.
88
On the weekends, I swim,
89
meet friends for lunch, go on hikes, and play video games.
90
How about you?
91
What do you like to do?
92
I love to read and play video games.
93
I also like to go to concerts and listen to music.
94
Nice!
95
I love music as well.
96
Is there anything you really don't like?
97
Hmm, I guess I don't like cold weather activities.
98
I don't like skiing or playing in the snow.
99
I'd rather vacation at a beach than at a ski resort.
100
So, in the winter, I'll probably stay inside a lot and read and watch television.
101
That's funny.
102
I work as a ski instructor during the winter.
103
So while I'm out skiing,
104
you can have the apartment to yourself.
105
Sounds great to me.
106
Oh, I almost forgot to ask.
107
Do you have a car?
108
I do.
109
We have two parking spaces.
110
One is in a garage,
111
and one is on the street.
112
Do you have a preference for where you would park?
113
I'm fine with parking on the street.
114
My car isn't very fancy.
115
It doesn't need to be in the garage.
116
Great.
117
Well, I think we would make a good fit as roommates.
118
What do you think?
119
Yes, I agree.
120
Let's do this.
121
When can I move in?
122
You could move in on Monday if that works for you.
123
Rent would be $400 each month.
124
Sounds great.
125
I'm looking forward to it.
126
Me too.
127
I'll have the landlord add your name to the lease,
128
and you can sign it next week.
129
Awesome.
130
Thank you.
131
We're going to have a great time here.

なぜこのビデオでスピーキングを練習するべきか？
このビデオでは、ルームメイトを探す会話が展開されており、実際の生活シーンに近い状況を理解しながら学ぶことができます。このような日常的な会話を通じて、英語を学ぶことは非常に効果的です。特に、相手に質問をしながら会話を進める技術や、自分の意見を明確に表現する力を高めることができます。これにより、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自然に会話ができるようにもなります。さらに、shadowing siteやshadowspeakの手法を用いることで、発音やイントネーションを真似ることで、スムーズなスピーキングに変わります。
文法と表現を文脈で理解する
ビデオ内ではいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が使われています。以下にその例を挙げます：
- 質問形式の使い方：「Are you a smoker?」のような直接的な質問を通じて、相手との相性を探る方法が示されています。
- 意見を述べる：「I would prefer to keep the apartment smoke-free.」のように、自分の希望や意見を明確に伝える重要性が強調されています。
- 様々な頻度の表現：「a few nights a week」といった表現は、友人との訪問頻度を伝える際に役立ちます。
- 自己紹介の仕方：自分が何を好むのかを具体的に述べることで、相手に自分を知ってもらい、良い関係を築く手助けとなります。
一般的な発音のトラップ
このビデオにはいくつかの発音の難しい単語やアクセントがありますので、注意が必要です。例えば：
- apartment：この単語は日本語の「アパート」と異なり、英語では中間の母音に注意が必要です。
- gym：この単語は「ジム」と発音されがちですが、特に「y」の音に気を付けることで、よりネイティブに近づきます。
- smoke-free：言葉をつなげて発音する際に、間に小さな音を入れることでより自然になります。
発音の難しさを克服するためには、shadow speechのテクニックを活用し、何度も繰り返すことが重要です。IELTSスピーキング対策としても、このような日常会話の練習は非常に役立ちます。
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。
