Lesson 758, Big Family.
2
Lupe talks about what it's like to have lots of brothers and sisters.
3
Listen to the end and take the quiz.
4
Now, let's listen to the conversation.
5
So Lupe, you have an extremely large family compared to family sizes here in the United States.
6
How was that?
7
How was that growing up with such a large family?
8
Yeah, coming here to the United States, it was really strange for me to see how small families were and me coming from such a big family where there's I have five brothers and six sisters.
9
So five boys, seven girls.
10
There's 12 of us.
11
And we all have the same mom and dad.
12
And, you know, at times it can be a little a little rough because growing up, you know, at one point we did all live together.
13
Now it's not as hard because there is a big age difference between the oldest and the youngest.
14
I am the youngest girl, and I have a younger brother.
15
My oldest brother now is 40, married, lives in his own house, and most of my older brothers and sisters are all married and have their kids and have also moved out.
16
It's not as tough anymore.
17
What I love about having such a big family is that now they all have babies.
18
So there's 23 nephews and nieces.
19
So when we have get togethers, it's really an amazing party because there's so many people there just with our immediate family.
20
The kids are running around playing.
21
All the women are, you know, hanging out, talking, and the guys are also doing their thing.
22
And there's also a lot of birthday parties.
23
as you can imagine.
24
There's so many birthdays throughout the year.
25
So there's always a party.
26
There's always someone to talk to.
27
There's always someone to go to.
28
Although it can really hurt your pocket around Christmas time because, you know, there's 23 nephews and nieces to buy presents for.
29
And there's also 11 siblings to buy, you know, presents.
30
And the family's only getting larger because you also got to think about them getting married.
31
So now I have sister-in-laws, now I have brother-in-laws, and there's still a few of us that are not married.
32
So the family's going to get bigger for sure.
33
What was the hardest part about growing up in a family that large?
34
I think the hardest part about it when I was little was I think my parents didn't have the resources to raise all of us in maybe the way they wish that they could have.
35
There wasn't always enough money to make sure that everybody was well-dressed or even that there was enough food.
36
As the older siblings started, you know, growing up and being old enough that they could work, they, you know, became an essential part of the family and started helping with the income, the family income.
37
And that made it a lot easier for us younger ones growing up.
38
they had it a little tougher than we did because they had to work a lot since they were really young to make sure that the rest of us had everything we needed.
39
That was definitely the hardest part.
40

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
ルーペの大きな家族についての話は、英語スピーキングの練習に非常に役立ちます。彼女が家族の構成や成長過程をどのように感じているかを聞くことで、日常会話の文脈を理解し、共感を深めることができます。このような会話を通じて、自分の意見や体験を英語で表現する練習をすることができ、英語スピーキング練習のスキルを向上させることができます。また、家族や友情に関するトピックは多くの人にとって身近であり、会話を盛り上げる良い材料となります。このビデオを通じて、英語シャドーイングをしながら、リスニング力と発音を向上させることが期待できます。
文法と表現の文脈
- 比較表現: 「compared to family sizes here in the United States」は、彼女の家族がどれほど大きいかを比較する際に使われています。比較のフレーズを使うことで、異なる文脈間の関連性を明確にすることができます。
- 過去形の使用: 「growing up」というフレーズを用いることで、彼女の過去の経験を表現しています。過去の経験を話す際には、過去形や過去進行形を意識することが大切です。
- 協力を表す表現: 例えば、「they became an essential part of the family and started helping with the income」という表現は、家族の協力と役割について語っています。このような表現を使うことで、より深い理解を示すことができます。
- 数の表現: 「there’s 12 of us」や「23 nephews and nieces」という具体的な数を用いることで、情報を明確に伝えることができます。数を用いた表現は、会話をより具体的にし、リスナーに印象を与えます。
一般的な発音のトラップ
ルーペの話の中で特に注意したいのは、彼女が使う「siblings」や「nephews」といった単語の発音です。これらの単語は、英語学習者にとっては発音が難しいことが多いため、しっかりとした練習が必要です。また、彼女の母国語のアクセントも影響を与えているため、IELTS スピーキング対策においては、様々なアクセントに耳を慣らすことが重要です。発音を完璧にするためには、shadowspeaksを利用した反復練習が効果的です。
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。
