Part 3 You will hear two geography students,
2
Adam and Michelle, talking about a volcanic eruption which took place in Iceland in 1783.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
6
So, Michelle, shall we make a start on our presentation?
7
We haven't got that much time left.
8
No, Adam, but at least we've done all the background reading.
9
I found it really interesting.
10
I'd never even heard of the Larkey eruption before this.
11
Me neither.
12
I suppose 1783 is a long time ago.
13
But it was a huge eruption and it had such devastating consequences.
14
I know.
15
It was great there were so many primary sources to look at.
16
It really gives you a sense of how catastrophic the volcano was.
17
People were really trying to make sense of the science for the first time.
18
That's right.
19
But what I found more significant was how it impacted directly and indirectly on political events,
20
as well as having massive social and economic consequences.
21
I know.
22
That should be the main focus of our presentation.
23
The observations made by people at the time were interesting, weren't they?
24
I mean, they all gave a pretty consistent account of what happened,
25
even if they didn't always use the same terminology.
26
Yeah, I was surprised there were so many weather stations established by that time.
27
So, you know, you can see how the weather changed often by the hour.
28
Right.
29
Writers at the time talked about the larky haze to describe the volcanic fog that spread across Europe.
30
They all realised that this wasn't the sort of fog they were used to.
31
And, of course, this was in pre-industrial times,
32
so they hadn't experienced sulphur-smelling fog before.
33
No, that's true.
34
Reports from the period blamed the haze for an increase in headaches,
35
respiratory issues and asthma attacks.
36
And they all describe how it covered the sun and made it look a strange red colour.
37
Hmm, must have been very weird.
38
It's interesting that Benjamin Franklin wrote about the haze.
39
Did you read that?
40
He was the American ambassador in Paris at the time.
41
Yeah.
42
At first no one realised that the haze was caused by the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
43
It was Benjamin Franklin who realised that before anyone else.
44
He's often credited with that apparently.
45
But a French naturalist beat him to it.
46
I can't remember his name.
47
I'd have to look it up.
48
Then other naturalists had the same idea.
49
All independently of each other.
50
Oh, right.
51
We should talk about the immediate impact of the eruption which was obviously enormous,
52
especially in Iceland where so many people died.
53
You'd expect that, and the fact that the volcanic ash drifted so swiftly,
54
but not that the effects would go on for so long,
55
or that two years after the eruption,
56
strange weather events were being reported as far away as North America and North Africa.
57
No, I found all that hard to believe, too.
58
It must have been terrible,
59
and there was nothing anyone could do about it,
60
even if they knew the ash cloud was coming in their direction.
61
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
62
you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
63
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
64
We should run through some of the terrible consequences of the eruption experienced in different countries.
65
There's quite a varied range.
66
Starting with Iceland, where the impact on farming was devastating.
67
One of the most dramatic things there was the effect on livestock as they grazed in the fields.
68
They were poisoned because they ate vegetation that had been contaminated with fluorine as a result of the volcanic fallout.
69
That was horrible.
70
In Egypt, the bizarre weather patterns led to a severe drought,
71
and as a result the Nile didn't flood,
72
which meant the crops all failed.
73
It's so far from where the eruption happened,
74
and yet the famine there led to more people dying than any other country.
75
It was worse than the plague.
76
OK.
77
Then in the UK the mortality rate went up a lot,
78
presumably from respiratory illnesses.
79
According to one report, it was about double the usual number
80
and included an unusually high percentage of people under the age of 25.
81
Hmm, I think people will be surprised to hear that the weather in the USA was badly affected too.
82
George Washington even makes a note in his diary that they were snowbound until March in Virginia.
83
That was before he became president.
84
Yes, and there was ice floating down the Mississippi, which was unprecedented.
85
Oh, astonishing, really.
86
Anyway, what do you think we should include next?
87
Thank you.
88
Thank you.

コンテキストと背景
このセクションでは、二人の地理学学生、アダムとミッシェルが1783年にアイスランドで発生した火山の噴火について話しています。彼らはプレゼンテーションの準備をしており、過去のデータや文献に基づいて火山の影響を広範囲にわたって探求しています。この対話は、英語スピーキング練習を通して、学生たちが歴史的な出来事やそれに伴う社会的、経済的影響について深く考えるきっかけを提供します。
日常会話のためのトップ5フレーズ
- 「私たちのプレゼンテーションを始めましょうか？」 - これは、会話を開始する際に使われるフレーズです。
- 「背景調査を行いました。」 - 準備が整ったことを伝えるフレーズです。
- 「それは非常に興味深いです。」 - 感情を表現する際に使います。
- 「火山の影響について考察しましょう。」 - 特定のトピックに集中するためのフレーズです。

段階的シャドーイングガイド
このビデオの内容を効果的に学ぶためには、次のようなステップで英語シャドーイングを行うことをお勧めします。
- ビデオを視聴する: 初めては全体をじっくりと見て、内容を把握します。
- トランスクリプトを読む: 表現やフレーズを深く理解するために、対話を読みます。こうすることで、理解が深まります。
- フレーズの練習: 日常会話のためのトップ5フレーズを繰り返し練習し、発音を確認します。
- シャドーイングを行う: 自分の声でアダムやミッシェルの会話を追いかけます。シャドースピークの練習として非常に効果的です。
- フィードバックを得る: 録音して自分の発音を確認したり、他の人に聞いてもらって改善点を探ります。
この方法に従うことで、英語スピーキング練習の効果を最大限に引き出し、表現力を向上させることができます。シャドーイングに取り組むことで、リスニング力や発音も自然に改善されていきます。
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。
