You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman who is looking for information about holidays, and an agent for a tour company.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7, on page 2.
4
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.
5
Asia Pacific Tours, can I help you?
6
Yes, I've been looking at your website, and I'd like some more information about your activity holidays.
7
Certainly, You know, of course, the prices of the tours include stays in three -star hotels, and they include airfares.
8
Great.
9
What about your tour of Vietnam?
10
My sister went there last year and loved it.
11
Yes, it's a really beautiful place and probably our fastest growing destination, Now that package includes several opportunities to take courses.
12
Don't you have a cookery course of some kind?
13
We certainly do.
14
If you love eating out in Vietnam like most people do and want to know how to prepare a meal, you can learn how from a master in a five -star hotel.
15
on another day you have a choice of two activities the first is instruction in diving in the south china sea
16
not a certificate course but just an introduction most people think it's wonderful Or, if you want to stay dry but still want some exercise,
17
you can spend the day on a trek through the jungle near the beach.
18
It's not difficult, and everyone seems to enjoy it.
19
Anything cultural on offer?
20
We used to take people to a Vietnamese opera, but that didn't prove so popular.
21
So now we include a dance show, and our clients all rave about that.
22
They say the colours are just magnificent.
23
Hmm.
24
What's the cost?
25
I've just noticed it's now a special price.
26
The holiday used to be £1 ,600, but it's just been reduced to £1 ,450, so you do save quite a bit,
27
and as I said, it seems to be our up -and -coming tour.
28
of one of their country parks.
29
Where you have the chance to see birds of all sorts.
30
Yes, that's a very popular activity.
31
People don't realise that Hong Kong isn't just a crowded city.
32
That's a half -day activity and you go with a trained escort, and it includes dinner in a monastery where you end your day.
33
And then we wouldn't want you to miss out altogether on shopping, so there's another day when we take you round an electronics factory Now,
34
that might sound like an odd thing to do, but it's actually really fascinating, and not like your usual ceramics factory.
35
And you can buy their products there quite cheaply.
36
Now the whole Hong Kong package is just £1 ,320 per person.
37
Sounds interesting.
38
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
39
you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10 of Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.

I've always wanted to go to Korea, but not on this trip.
42
And I've been to Thailand, which I loved, but what about your Japan package?
43
Good choice.
44
Well, that tour includes a terrific trip to a museum of traditional costume.
45
The exhibits are gorgeous.
46
They've got an absolutely priceless collection.
47
And I think the website says you take your clients to a market, don't you?
48
A crafts market, I think.
49
Well, we do go to a market, but it's one that sells fish, and it's one of the largest in the world.
50
and you have the chance to sample the wares in a little restaurant nearby
51
We also give you plenty of free time to wander around the city with our guides if you want, And what's the cost of all that?
52
£1 ,800.
53
Well, you've been ever so helpful.
54
I've noted all the details down, and I'll get back to you when I've made up my mind.
55
If we can give you any more help, do ring back.
56
Thanks, I will.
57
Your English?

このビデオで話す練習をする理由

このビデオでは、旅行会社のエージェントと利用者の間の電話会話を通じて、アジア太平洋地域でのアクティビティホリデーについての詳細が語られています。YouTubeで英語学習を考える際、この種の会話は非常に効果的です。旅行や休日に関する語彙や表現を学ぶことができ、生きた英語の使い方を実践する絶好の機会です。このビデオを通じて、実際の会話の流れや文脈を理解しながら話す力を強化できるでしょう。また、shadow speechのテクニックを使用することで、英語のリズムやイントネーションをマスターする助けにもなります。

文法と表現の文脈

この会話では、以下のような重要な文法構造と表現が使用されています：

  • 条件文 - 「もし…なら」構文の使用により、提案や条件を明確にすることができます。例：If you love eating out in Vietnam…
  • 現在進行形 - 「今、…している」という形で、現在のアクティビティを強調する表現。例：We're including a dance show…
  • 過去形 - 体験や過去の出来事を語る手段として効率的です。例：My sister went there last year…

  • アクティビティ - 英語では「アクティビティ」と発音されますが、日本語では異なるアクセントを持つことがあります。正確に発音することが重要です。
  • カラフル - 「顏色の美しさ」を表現する際、the colours are just magnificentのように、'colours'の発音に特に注意しましょう。
  • モナスタリー - 正しく発音することが、特に英語を学ぶ際の理解を深める鍵です。

これらの構成要素に注意を払い、練習することでIELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つでしょう。shadowspeaksを活用することで、よりナチュラルな英語が身につきます。

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。
