So today, I'm going to talk about phones.
7
I was talking about this topic the other day
8
and I got to thinking about how important phones are in our everyday lives.
9
So let's talk a little bit about this.
10
Let's go briefly through the history of phones.
11
Even though some basic versions of the telephone had been invented earlier, Alexander Graham Bell is usually credited with the invention since he won the first US patent for it.
12
A patent is a government license given to someone who comes up with an idea for an invention.
13
It excludes other people from making or selling this invention for a certain number of years.
14
So, Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone in 1876.
15
Prior to that, people couldn't talk over long distances.
16
They could only send messages through telegraph or some other means.
17
You can imagine how revolutionary this invention was, when suddenly people could talk and have their voice heard in a different location.
18
It must have seemed like really advanced technology at the time.
19
But obviously telephones didn't just become common household items overnight.
20
It would be decades before this device became commonplace, and at the turn of the century, there were still fewer than a million phones in use.
21
One big milestone in the development of phones was the first transcontinental phone call, which was made from New York to San Francisco in 1915.
22
Nowadays, this might not seem like a huge feat, but this type of long distance communication was completely unheard of at that time.
23
The telephone was changing the way people thought about communication.
24
Over the next few decades, many more millions of households installed landlines, and the telephone became the king of communication.
25
Then, fast forward to 1973, and the world saw the introduction of the first cell phone made by Motorola.
26
But if you're thinking that this cell phone bore any resemblance to today's phones, think again.
27
The first mobile phone was a monster.
28
It definitely couldn't fit in anyone's pocket.
29
Later on in 1989, the first flip phone appeared on the market.
30
A flip phone is a phone that you open like this, the type of phone that I had growing up.
31
In 1992, the first text message was sent between phones.
32
Obviously today, text messages are an essential function of all cell phones
33
and people communicate more through messages than they do through calls.
34
Come to think of it, it seems like people try to avoid calling and instead send text messages whenever possible.
35
Another cell phone feature that we take for granted nowadays is the camera.
36
The first camera phone came out in Japan in 1999 and then later on in the rest of the world.
37
And then finally, in 2007, the first iPhone came out, stunning the world with its revolutionary design and touchscreen display.
38
Even though there were already smartphones in existence at that time, the iPhone really brought smartphones onto the scene.
39
After that, other companies followed suit and started releasing smartphone after smartphone.
40
Nowadays, it seems like practically everyone who can afford it has a smartphone.
41
This device has become a necessity in many people's lives and most people spend many hours every week using it.
42
Actually, a lot of people don't even use their computer that much anymore because they can do everything from their phone.
43
If you had told people just a few decades ago about the cell phones of today, they probably wouldn't have believed you.
44
Who knows what type of innovation we might see with phones in the future?
45
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
46
Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video.
47
Write your answers and a comment down below.
48
Number one: In what year was the first transcontinental phone call made?
49
Number two: Which company made the world's first cell phone?
50
And number three, what important cell phone feature was first added in 1992?

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？

このB1レベルの英語リスニングプラクティスビデオを使用することで、日常生活での電話について話すスキルを向上させることができます。電話の歴史や発展を通じて、会話の文脈を理解しながら、自分自身の意見を表現する練習ができます。このビデオを視聴しながら、会話の流れを掴み、自然な英語表現を身につけることが可能です。また、録音された音声を使用して、英語のリスニングスキルを磨くことができるため、IELTS スピーキング対策にも効果的です。

文法と文脈の中の表現

このビデオでは、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています：

  • Past Simple Tense: 「Alexander Graham Bell received a patent...」のように、特定の過去の出来事について話す際に使用されます。これは、過去の出来事をはっきりと理解するために重要です。
  • Passive Voice: 「was made from New York to San Francisco」という表現は、受動態を使って電話の重要な歴史的出来事を紹介しています。
  • Conditional Statements: 「If you had told people...」という条件文は、仮定の状況を表現し、想像力を働かせるための適切な手法です。

これらの構造を理解し、実際の会話に取り入れることで、英語スピーキング練習がより効果的になります。英語を話す際の自信を高めるためにも、これらの文法ポイントを意識してみてください。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

このビデオの中で、特に発音に注意が必要な言葉や表現があります。例えば、「revolutionary」や「communicate」など、母音の発音が難しい単語がいくつかあります。特に「revolutionary」における「tion」の発音は、英語学習者にとっての共通の難関です。また、アクセントの違いも理解しておくことが大切です。さまざまな英語のアクセントに慣れるためにも、このビデオを利用して音を真似る練習をしましょう。これによって、conversationやIELTS スピーキング対策の際に自分の声をよりスムーズに届けることができるようになります。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるhad been invented · was made · was sent
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加えるsomeone who comes · call, which was · everyone who can
過去進行形 was/were + -ing — 過去のある時点で進行中だった動作was talking · was changing
「might / may」による可能性 might/may + 動詞 — 起こりうるが確実ではないことmight not seem · might see

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。
