1
Today's adventure starts at the great elf tree on Christmas Eve.
2
Snow!
3
Come on elves, let's get the elf plane loaded.
4
Righty-ho, wind the engine.
5
Roger that, Mr. Elf.
6
Wind the engine.
7
Righty-ho!
8
Hi boys!
9
Hi girls!
10
What's happening?
11
Dad has an important job to do.
12
What kind of job?
13
He's flying to the North Pole.
14
The North Pole?
15
Yes, we're making our final delivery of toys to Father Christmas.
16
Ooh!
17
Flight 1000, ready for takeoff.
18
Flight 1000, you are cleared for takeoff.
19
Roger that, Control.
20
Why are you delivering toys to Father Christmas?
21
Well, who do you think makes all Father Christmas' toys?
22
Um, elves?
23
That's right.
24
Us elves.
25
Ah.
26
Elves work all year deep underground in the elf factory making toys.
27
Then, in December, Ben's dad flies to the North Pole and delivers the toys to Father Christmas.
28
Does he land at the North Pole and meet Father Christmas?
29
No, he never lands.
30
He drops the toys by parachute.
31
Then Father Christmas wraps the toys up and delivers them to the children of the world.
32
All the children?
33
Even our friend Lucy?
34
Oh, yes.
35
Even Lucy.
36
I love Christmas.
37
And I love snow.
38
Me too.
39
I wish it was snowing now.
40
Yes.
41
It's Christmas Eve.
42
When's it going to snow?
43
Maybe it's time for a weather forecast.
44
Weather forecast?
45
Yes.
46
We can use my elf weather detector.
47
Wow.
48
So can this machine tell if it's going to snow? Of course.
49
How does it work?
50
I listen to the weather through this giant ear trumpet.
51
It's so sensitive, I can hear a butterfly flapping its wings in Africa.
52
Can you hear any butterflies?
53
Don't talk loudly into the trumpet.
54
Sorry, wise old elf.
55
Now, please stay quiet quiet.
56
Ah, interesting.
57
Is it a butterfly?
58
No, I can hear weather.
59
What sort of weather?
60
There's a chance of sun or rain with clear skies or clouds.
61
Is it going to snow?
62
I can say it certainly might.
63
But then again, it might not.
64
Oh.
65
I know.
66
Let's ask Nanny Plum if it's going to snow.
67
Why ask Nanny Plum?
68
Nanny can tell the future.
69
Ha!
70
This I must see.
71
Nanny Plum!
72
Nanny Plum!
73
You can tell the future, can't you?
74
I certainly can.
75
Can you tell if it's going to snow?
76
Yes, I'll use my special snow forecasting globe.
77
Ho ho, I see.
78
You gaze into the crystal ball and it tells our fortune, I suppose.
79
No, you just shake it, like this.
80
There we are.
81
It'll snow today.
82
Hooray!
83
Stop, stop, stop.
84
How on earth can that thing predict the weather?
85
It's never been wrong.
86
What if you shook it in the summer?
87
Well, you don't shake it in the summer, obviously.
88
That would be silly!
89
Well, you can't tell exactly when it's going to snow, can you?
90
Yes, I can.
91
It's going to snow now.
92
Abracadabra!
93
That's cheating.
94
No, it's not.
95
Make it snow!
96
Nanny's made it snow!
97
Let's go and see it!
98
What?
99
But where is the snow?
100
NANNY PLUM!
101
It's snowing inside!
102
Snow!
103
Snow!
104
Let's play Snowballs!
105
NANNY PLUM!
106
It's snowing in the sitting room!
107
Is this your doing?
108
Yes, it is!
109
Inside is for sitting in armchairs and reading.
110
Outside is for snow.
111
Inside, outside, whatever.
112
Nanny Plum, you're fired!
113
Don't be silly.
114
I'm taking away your wand until you learn how to control your spells better.
115
But what about the snow?
116
Not another word.
117
Everyone out.
118
Now Daddy's taken Nanny Plum's wand.
119
She won't be able to magic any snow.
120
Now we won't have any snow for Christmas.
121
There's always a chance it might snow anyway.
122
I can hear something.
123
Is it snow?
124
No, it's the elf plane.
125
Dad's back from the North Pole.
126
That's the last delivery done.
127
Dad, did you see snow?
128
Yes, lots of it.
129
Enough snow to last me a lifetime.
130
Now you've finished your work, Mr Elf.
131
Are you on holiday?
132
Holiday?
133
Good gracious, no. It's Christmas Eve.
134
There's work to be done preparing tonight's elf and fairy feast.
135
Oh, yes, the midnight elf and fairy feast.
136
On Christmas Eve. With music. And singing. And lanterns.
137
Yes, and those lanterns don't hang themselves up to work.
138
Stop, Mr Elf.
139
It's about time you had a rest.
140
A rest?
141
You've been working hard all year.
142
Just sit down and relax for five minutes.
143
I can give you three.
144
You work too hard.
145
Elves like working hard.
146
And I'm an elf.
147
Oh, dear.
148
You really must relax.
149
Just say, I'm on holiday.
150
Well, all right.
151
I'm on holiday.
152
That's nice.
153
Hello, wise old elf speaking.
154
Ho, ho, ho.
155
It's Father Christmas here.
156
Oh, Mr. Christmas.
157
We seem to be missing some toys.
158
I can't find Box 571.
159
Box 571?
160
I need those toys before tonight, or some children will not get their Christmas presents.
161
Never fear, Mr. Christmas.
162
We will get the box to you.
163
I will deliver it personally.
164
Box 571?
165
It could be anywhere.
166
We'll never find it.
167
Is it this box, Dad?
168
The one that says Box 571?
169
What?
170
Well done, Ben.
171
You found it.
172
To the elf plane.
173
We leave immediately.
174
Well, that was a nice holiday while it lasted.
175
Are you going back to the North Pole?
176
Can we come?
177
Can we, Dad?
178
Please?
179
Please, Mr Elf.
180
I don't mind who comes, but we must leave straight away.
181
Hooray!
182
Brilliant!
183
I'll just get my wands back from King Thistle.
184
There's no time for that, Nanny.
185
We need to get these toys to Father Christmas right away.
186
Elf Anna is at stake.
187
Ready for take-off, Captain.
188
Everyone on board.
189
Ben, it's snowing.
190
Oh, wow!
191
Snow!
192
You see?
193
My snow globe is never wrong.
194
Hmm.
195
What do all these buttons do?
196
Don't touch anything, please, Nanny Plum.
197
Wind the engine.
198
Righty-ho!
199
Ready for take-off!
200
North Pole, here we come!
201
I can't wait to play in the snow!
202
Me too!
203
We're not going to play in the snow.
204
We're just dropping off the toy box and coming straight home.
205
So we won't meet Father Christmas?
206
Good gracious, no. We're on a mission.
207
There'll be no playing in the snow and no meeting Father Christmas.
208
Join us in our next episode when we play in the snow and meet Father Christmas

シャドーイングのステップバイステップガイド

このビデオを使った英語シャドーイングは、以下の手順で効果的です。まず、ビデオを1回聴いて全体の流れを把握します。次に、1文ずつ止めながら、発音やイントネーションを注意深く観察します。特にRighty-hoやRoger thatのような短いフレーズは、リズムを捉えることが重要です。その後、同じ速さですぐに繰り返して発声し、自分の声と原音を比較します。英語の発音を良くするには、口の形や息の使い方にも注目しましょう。最後に、字幕を消して全体をシャドーイングし、自然な会話の流れを体得します。この方法を続けると、スピーキングの fluency も向上します。

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。
