This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Mmm,
2
a quick sip of my coffee just to get me in the mood for today's programme.
3
Welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Rob.
5
And I'm Finn.
6
Rob, you seem to be enjoying that cup of coffee.
7
Yes, indeed.
8
I love all styles of coffee.
9
That's coffee made in different ways.
10
You could say, I'm a coffee addict.
11
An addict.
12
That's someone who likes doing a particular activity very much and they can't stop doing it.
13
And if you have a strong need to keep drinking coffee, then we could say you have an addiction.
14
That's me.
15
And that's what we're talking about today.
16
Coffee addiction.
17
and we'll be talking about the dangers of drinking too much.
18
Another word for drinking here is consuming.
19
We'll look at some other coffee-related language in today's programme too.
20
But first, Rob, how about a question?
21
Yes, of course.
22
I have a coffee-related question to ask you.
23
OK.
24
Do you know which country drinks the most coffee per person?
25
Is it A.
26
Egypt, B.
27
Finland, or C.
28
Italy?
29
I think they're all coffee-drinking countries, but I'll say B.
30
Finland.
31
OK.
32
As always, I will let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
33
Thank you.
34
OK, Finn, I haven't asked you yet if you drink coffee, so do you?
35
I do, Rob, yes, but only in moderation, so that means not too much.
36
I love the taste and the smell, especially.
37
We could call that the aroma.
38
But it's the caffeine contained in the drink that can have a bad effect.
39
If I drink too much, it can give me headaches.
40
Right.
41
Well, for me, it's the caffeine that keeps me awake.
42
OK.
43
It stimulates my brain.
44
It makes me more alert.
45
That's why we call caffeine a stimulant.
46
Caffeine can also be found in energy and cola drinks and even in tea.
47
Mmm.
48
The New Scientist magazine says caffeine is a psychoactive drug and
49
that 90% of people in the United States consume it every day.
50
Psychoactive drug.
51
So what does that mean?
52
It's a drug that affects how a person feels and sometimes how they behave.
53
The drug can be found in food, like waffles and chewing gum, surprisingly, not just in drinks.
54
That's why scientists who study public health are worried people don't know how much caffeine they are taking.
55
Indeed.
56
Too much caffeine can lead to insomnia.
57
So that's when you can't sleep. And indigestion.
58
So that's a pain in your stomach when it can't process the food that you've just eaten.
59
And finally, high blood pressure.
60
So blood flowing around your body at a higher pressure than is normal.
61
That's dangerous.
62
Well, sometimes drinking coffee does stop me sleeping and sometimes I feel very alert.
63
then very lethargic.
64
You know, that's not having any energy.
65
But I still can't give up.
66
And Rob, you're not alone.
67
We asked people on our BBC Learning English Facebook page how they felt about coffee and we had a lot of responses.
68
Yumiko says, My happiest time is smelling coffee beans just after grinding it.
69
Fresh roasted coffee has a really good fragrance.
70
Fragrance is a word usually associated with perfume, but I think she just means the good smell.
71
Samuel Le says, one cup of good espresso is the daily energy for my body and mind.
72
And Rasha claims, a cup of coffee every day is useful for our health.
73
Ahmed loves coffee too, but he says, be aware that too much coffee is not good for your health.
74
So there seem to be some good effects and some bad or negative effects of drinking coffee, Rob.
75
Well, I find that if I try to give up drinking coffee, I'll also get headaches and feel tired.
76
And these are what we call withdrawal symptoms – the nasty physical and mental effects of stopping.
77
Well, I may drink lots of coffee, but not as much as people in another country.
78
Finn, earlier I asked you if you knew the people of which country drink the most coffee.
79
And I said be Finland.
80
And guess what?
81
You were right.
82
Oh yes!
83
Yes, the people of Finland consume an incredible 12 kilograms of coffee per person every year.
84
That compares with the average consumption of 1.3 kilograms per person.
85
OK Finn, before we go there's just time for you to remind us of some of the words that we heard today.
86
We heard...
87
Addict.
88
Consuming. In moderation.
89
Aroma.
90
Caffeine.
91
Stimulant.
92
Psychoactive drug.
93
Insomnia.
94
Indigestion.
95
High blood pressure.
96
Lethargic. And...
97
Withdrawal symptoms.
98
Thanks, Finn.
99
Thank you, Rob.
100
Do join us again for another edition of 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
101
Bye for now.
102
Bye.
103

このレッスンについて

このビデオでは、BBC Learning Englishの「6 Minute English」を通じて、コーヒー中毒に関する会話を学びます。ロブとフィンの対話から、コーヒーにまつわる単語やフレーズ、日常会話のリズムを練習できます。特に、英語のシャドーイングに最適な内容で、発音やイントネーション、スピードのコントロールを磨くことができます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • addict:「~に夢中な人」。例:"I'm a coffee addict."(私はコーヒー中毒者です)
  • in moderation:「適度に」。例:"I drink coffee in moderation."(私はコーヒーを適度に飲みます)
  • aroma:「香り」。例:"I love the aroma of coffee."(コーヒーの香りが大好きです)
  • stimulant:「刺激物」。例:"Caffeine is a stimulant."(カフェインは刺激物です)
  • psychoactive drug:「向精神薬」。例:"Caffeine is a psychoactive drug."(カフェインは向精神薬です)

練習のコツ

シャドーイングをする際は、ビデオのスピードに合わせて発音を追いかけましょう。ロブとフィンの会話は自然な日常語で、スピードも中程度なので、初級者でも挑戦しやすいです。特に、"Mmm, a quick sip of my coffee"のようなくだけた表現や、疑問文のイントネーションに注目してください。shadowing siteやshadowspeaksを使って繰り返し練習すると、発音の精度が上がります。また、「shadow speak」のように、シャドーイングを楽しみながら練習すると、継続しやすくなります。一度に長い部分を練習するのではなく、5秒~10秒の断片に分けて、正確に真似ることがポイントです。

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。
