18
Okay, before we start, I have a question for you.
19
Oh no, what did I do?
20
Tom had dinner at a fancy restaurant last week, a very special night.
21
But something went wrong.
22
Here we go.
23
So here is your question for today.
24
What did Tom do wrong at the fancy restaurant?
25
Was it something with the fork, something with his food, or something he said to the waiter?
26
Please don't tell them yet.
27
Stay with us until the end, and we will tell you exactly what happened.
28
So, Tom, tell us about this fancy restaurant.
29
Okay.
30
It was my anniversary dinner.
31
I made a reservation at a beautiful Italian restaurant downtown.
32
Aw, that is so sweet.
33
The lighting was soft, there was music playing, and the table had a white tablecloth.
34
Sounds perfect.
35
What happened?
36
Well, I looked at the table and there were four forks next to my plate.
37
Four forks?
38
I know, but I remembered the rule.
39
You start from the outside and work your way in.
40
Yes, that is correct.
41
The fork on the outside is for the first course.
42
The one closest to the plate is for the main course.
43
Exactly.
44
So I felt very sophisticated. And then?
45
So the waiter came and asked how I wanted my steak cooked and I completely forgot the words.
46
Oh no, Tom!
47
I looked at the waiter and said, um, not too red, but also not too dry.
48
Not too red, not too dry?
49
The waiter smiled and said, medium, sir?
50
And I said, yes, that one.
51
This is exactly why we make this podcast, everyone, so you never say not to read to a waiter again.
52
You are welcome.
53
Learn from my pain.
54
Okay, before the vocabulary, let's look at one important grammar point.
55
Polite requests.
56
In a restaurant, you need to sound polite, and two phrases will help you do that.
57
Number one, could I?
58
This is a polite question.
59
You use it to ask for something.
60
For example, could I see the menu, please?
61
Could I have some water?
62
Could I get the bill?
63
Number two, I'd like.
64
The full form is I would like.
65
You use it to place an order or state what you want.
66
For example, I'd like the grilled salmon, please.
67
I'd like a table for two.
68
Lily, what is the difference?
69
Could I is asking if something is possible.
70
I'd like is telling them your choice directly.
71
Both are polite.
72
Both are correct.
73
And one small tip.
74
Try not to say, I want the pasta at a formal restaurant.
75
It sounds a little too direct.
76
I'd like the pasta sounds much more natural and polite.
77
Let's practice.
78
Lily gives the situation, and I answer.
79
You want the dessert menu.
80
Could I see the dessert menu, please?
81
Perfect!
82
You want to order sparkling water.
83
I'd like a sparkling water, please.
84
Beautiful!
85
Everyone at home, say those sentences out loud.
86
Speaking practice works best when you actually speak.
87

- まず、動画を視聴し、会話の全体を理解します。
- 次に、各フレーズを繰り返してみましょう。初めはゆっくりと、慣れてきたら速度を上げていきます。
- 口の動きや発音に注意を払いながら、浴びるように英語を聴きます。これはshadowspeaksの手法とも関連しています。

- 最後に、表現やフレーズを日常生活にも取り入れて、実践経験を増やしていきましょう。
これらのテクニックを使って、IELTSスピーキング対策としても役立てることができます。ぜひ、実際のレストランでの体験を想定しながら練習してください。
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。
