1
Today I'm talking to two professional kayakers, Glenda Beachley and Declan Spate, who's now making a name for himself in the spin-off sport of wild water racing.
2
Glenda, first of all, why kayaking?
3
What do you get out of the sport?
4
Well, I started at six when my dad let me paddle his boat in the practice pool.
5
We'd do drills.
6
I've been at a professional level for six years, recently going full-time.
7
Kayaking's a very addictive sport.
8
It's something you want to get better at no matter how good you are.
9
But what really appeals to me about kayaking is that it calls for several different skills to be used simultaneously.
10
It requires not only physical strength but mental tolerance.
11
You have to train your brain not to panic when you roll over, to think instead of the process needed to roll your boat back up.
12
Then an added bonus is that when you're on the water, it's you and the river.
13
You control the boat and plan your line through.
14
So what would you say to anyone interested in taking up kayaking?
15
Hopefully, if you join a club, there'll be people to train with and share vital advice gained from years of experience.
16
But however much training you decide to do, keep it up.
17
I started by going paddling once a week, slowly building up to several times a day over many years.
18
But most importantly, when you first start kayaking, just have fun.
19
Don't make it about racing and being the best kayaker in the world.
20
Just learn as much as you can.
21
My friends and I used to keep each other progressing.
22
What I mean by that is when one of your friends learns a trick that you can't do, that's all the more reason to train harder and learn the trick faster.
23
and it works both ways so we all advanced in the sport.
24
So tell us about wild water racing, Declan.
25
It's a race on a predetermined section of river.
26
You set off at 60 second intervals.
27
It's just you and the river.
28
You don't have to follow a particular route.
29
It's up to you to figure out which line is fastest.
30
Training can be hard, physically and psychologically, especially when the weather's bad and there aren't many competitions coming up.
31
but it's worth it in the summer when the big ones come around.
32
Training for me involves being on the water, gym sessions and running to help maintain aerobic fitness.
33
I have to ensure I eat enough of the right things to keep myself in the best shape possible, but paddling definitely builds up an appetite.
34
So is kayaking dangerous?
35
White water kayaking can be.
36
Often a small mistake can push you off the right line and you end up paying for it.
37
When I first started out, I felt intimidated by certain stretches of river.
38
I'd weigh up the risks and only have a go once I felt up to the challenge.
39
And I'm still doing that.
40
Sure, you feel exhilarated by the challenge, but you shouldn't actually be scared.
41
when you start progressing and trying new things, you still get that rush of adrenaline.
42
But you do need to avoid taking unnecessary chances.
43
Things can still go wrong, of course.
44
I've had a few nasty spills where I got beaten about a bit, but I've been lucky enough not to sustain a serious injury.
45
What about equipment, Declan?
46
I always go back to the gear I didn't have to replace over the course of a full year on the water.
47
A good many bits of costly equipment didn't make it to any reasonable expectation of a useful lifespan.
48
Kit's a very personal thing, though.
49
What suits one person might not suit the next.
50
It's great that there's a huge range on offer, but it's tough doing the research yourself.
51
As a beginner, I'd say get some insider tips from someone in the know.
52
Don't just follow your instinct, because whatever you do choose, make sure it's fitted out nicely for you.
53
A comfortable boat and set of paddles that you can rely on makes the world of difference.
54
So both of you, what's your best memory of kayaking?
55
One of the best things is that it's a very social sport.
56
It's all about interacting with other people.
57
So although the first time I was selected for the national team
58
and winning my first medal in and international competition are great memories.
59
Probably my most valued are those when I'm on a great trip, getting to know new rivers and their surroundings, in the company of fellow kayakers I trust and get on with.
60
This year, the high spot for me was landing in Tasmania with my training partner Sam, to find that all the rivers were in flood, making each one flow.
61
Over the space of a few weeks, we paddled lots of them, some of which hadn't flowed in over 20 years.
62
And And I've met kayakers from all over the world.
63
I mean, I've had experiences I wouldn't have missed for the world, on and off the river.
64
Now play the recording again.
65
That is the end of part three.
66
Now turn to part four.

覚えておきたいフレーズとコロケーション

  • make a name for himself：「名を成す」「評判を得る」。デクランがワイルドウォーターレーシングで活躍している様子を表すのに使われています。

あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ

shadow speak（シャドーイング）は、英語の発音やリズムを身につけるのに効果的な方法です。この動画の中で、グレンダが「But most importantly, when you first start kayaking, just have fun.」と話す部分を選び、以下のように練習してみましょう。まずは動画を聴きながら、1秒遅れで同じように発音し、イントネーションやスピードも真似ます。何度か繰り返して、自然に口から出てくるようになったら、音を消して自分で言ってみます。この練習を通して、英語シャドーイングの技術を上達させると同時に、スポーツに関する表現も覚えることができます。ぜひ挑戦してみてください！

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。
