Hello!
2
Oh, hello.
3
I was hoping to speak to Jack Fitzgerald about renting a cottage.
4
I'm his wife Shirley and we own the cottages together so I'm sure I can help you.
5
Great.
6
My name's Tom.
7
Some friends of ours rented Granary Cottage from you last year and they thought it was great.
8
So my wife and I are hoping to come in May for a week.
9
What date did you have in mind?
10
The week beginning the 14th, if possible.
11
I'll just check.
12
I'm sorry, Tom, it's already booked that week.
13
It's free the week beginning the 28th, though, for seven nights, In fact, that's the only time you could have it in me.
14
Oh.
15
Well, we could manage that, I think.
16
We'd just need to change a couple of things.
17
How much would it cost?
18
That's the beginning of high season, so it'd be £550 for the week.
19
Ah, that's a bit more than we wanted to pay, I'm afraid.
20
We've budgeted up to £500 for accommodation.
21
Well, we've just finished converting another building into a cottage which we're calling Cherville Cottage.
22
Sorry, what was that again?
23
Chervil.
24
C. H E R V for Victor I L Oh, that's a herb, isn't it?
25
That's right.
26
It grows fairly wild around here.
27
You could have that for the week you want for £480.
28
Okay, so could you tell me something about it, please? Of course.
29
The building was built as a garage, It's a little smaller than Granary Cottage.
30
So that must sleep two people as well.
31
That's right.
32
There's a double bedroom.
33
Does it have a garden?
34
Yes, you get to it from the living room through French doors and we provide two deck chairs.
35
We hope to build a patio in the near future, but I wouldn't like to guarantee it'll be finished by May.
36
Okay.
37
The front door opens onto the old farmyard, and parking isn't a problem.
38
There's plenty of room at the front for that.
39
There are some trees and potted plants there.
40
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time.
41
It has standard things like a cooker and fridge, I presume.
42
In the kitchen area there's a fridge freezer, and we've just put in an electric cooker.
43
Is there a washing machine?
44
Yes.
45
There's also a TV in the living room which plays DVDs too.
46
The bathroom is too small for a bath, so there's a shower instead.
47
I think a lot of people prefer that nowadays anyway.
48
It's more environmentally friendly, isn't it?
49
Unless you spend half the day in it.
50
Exactly.
51
What about heating?
52
It sometimes gets quite cool at that time of year.
53
There's central heating, and if you want to light a fire, there's a stove.
54
We can provide all the wood you need for it.
55
It smells so much nicer than coal, and it makes the room very cosy.
56
We've got one in our own house.
57
That sounds very pleasant.
58
Perhaps we should come in the winter to make the most of it.
59
Yes.
60
We find we don't want to go out when we've got the fire burning.
61
There are some attractive views from the cottage which I haven't mentioned.
62
There's a famous stone bridge, It's one of the oldest in the region and you can see it from the living room.
63
It isn't far away.
64
The bedroom window looks in the opposite direction and has a lovely view of the hills and the monument at the top.
65
Well, that all sounds perfect.
66
I'd like to book it, please.
67
Would you want to deposit?
68
Yes.
69
We ask for 30 % to secure your booking, so that'll be, er, £144.
70
"And when would you like the rest of the money?" You're coming in May, so the last day of March, please.
71
Fine.
72
Excellent.
73
Could I just take your details so that I can...

ステップバイステップのシャドーイングガイド
この動画の内容を効果的にマスターするためには、以下のステップに従って練習しましょう。シャドーイングは、英語シャドーイングや英語スピーキング練習において非常に役立ちます。
- まず、動画を一度通しで視聴し、内容を全体的に把握します。
- 次に、発話を各文ごとに分けて聞きます。この時、特にイントネーションや強調を意識しながら、シャドーイングを行います。
- リピートする際は、shadowspeakのテクニックを活用し、声に出して同時に発音の練習をします。
- 特に難しいフレーズがあれば何度も繰り返し、口の動きや音の出し方を自分のものにしましょう。
- 最後に、録音をして自分の発音を確認し、改善点を見つけると良いでしょう。
このプロセスを通じて、IELTS スピーキング対策としても非常に効果的な練習が可能です。小さな進歩を積み重ね、自信を持って英語を話せるようになりましょう。
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。
