Take a look at this woman.

She's taking the CELPIP exam

and on the speaking part of the exam she has to answer a question about a difficult situation

and she has one minute to read the question and think about it and another minute to speak.

Okay now she doesn't know what to say.

Do you know what to say?

Well, in this lesson, I'm going to teach you what to say for this question.

Now, I'm making a lot of videos on Selpip, so make sure you hit that subscribe button right down there.

Okay, so here's the question.

A close cousin who lives in another country is coming to visit for a year.

She tells you that she would like to stay at your place to explore your country's culture

and to spend some time with you.

Your roommate does not agree and says you will have to move out if she comes.

Okay, so here's a difficult situation.

Now, you have to choose one.

Either talk to your cousin, explain why she cannot move in for a year, or talk to your roommate,

explain why your cousin should be allowed to move in with you for a year.

Okay, so the first thing you need to do is decide who you're going to talk to.

Which would be easier?

Personally, I think it would be a little bit easier to talk to your cousin or my cousin in this case.

So here's what we're going to do.

Okay, we're going to take some notes.

Okay, now it might take you like 60 seconds to read the question.

Look how long this question is.

Can you read all of this and all of this in one minute?

I hope so.

You need to be able to read all of it.

But that's a long time and you only have a minute.

So you might not have too much time to take notes.

But if you have 10

or 20 seconds to take some notes then just take some

really short notes try to think of of why she can't

stay with you in your apartment hmm okay our apartment is too small

so you just write too small my roommate has a girlfriend

and that would be a little bit awkward so you just write girlfriend

My roommate has a crazy work schedule where sometimes he works days,

sometimes he works nights, and so it would be very challenging if you were to stay with us.

Okay, so you just write schedule.

Okay, that way when you're speaking you can look at your notes and remember what you want to say.

Okay, so remember when you're answering this question you're talking to a person.

okay

so in this case you're going to say something like this

hi cindy it's mark calling here okay that's how you're going

to start you're going to pretend like you're talking to your

cousin on the phone okay then you're going to introduce the topic you're going to make a decision

or tell Tell her about your decision.

And then you're going to explain the reasons.

So follow this structure when you answer the question.

Now here's how you introduce the topic.

You're going to say, hi Cindy, it's Mark calling here.

I talked to my roommate today and he doesn't really like the idea of someone living with us.

So then this is your decision.

So unfortunately you won't be able to stay here.

Okay this is a very good word to use in this question.

When you have to make a tough decision,

when you have to tell someone no I can't do this or you can't do this then you should say unfortunately.

Okay unfortunately it won't work or unfortunately you won't be able to stay here.

Okay, so that's the decision.

This is how you introduce the topic.

It's just, it's one sentence, but you start like this.

You don't just call your cousin and say, hi Cindy, you can't stay with us.

Bye.

Okay, that's, that would be pretty rude.

Okay, so this is the best way to do it in English.

Okay, So then you're going to explain the reasons why she can't stay with you in your apartment.

Okay, so the apartment is really small.

We only have one bathroom, so it would be a little bit awkward.

You know, just whatever you want to say about that.

And then my roommate has a girlfriend.

She likes to come over and watch movies.

and so if you were living with us in our living room

that would make their relationship a little bit uh

that would be strange for their relationship okay

and my roommate's work schedule is really strange you know he likes to have peace

and quiet at home so he doesn't want to come home

and suddenly there's you in the living room okay so you're going to sit try to be very polite

very nice when you're speaking, but you're going to talk about your reasons.

Okay, so this is going to be most of what you talk about, right?

Like at the beginning, this is only one sentence, so it's going to take you maybe five or ten seconds to say this,

and then you're going to spend most of the time in the question answering these things here, talking about the reasons.

Okay, so I want to give you an example of how I would answer this question.

Okay, are you ready?

If you want to try first, then click on the pause button right down there.

And then after you finish trying, then you can click on the play button and hear my answer.

Okay, but here is my answer right here.

Okay, we've started.

Hi Cindy, it's Mark calling here.

I was talking with my roommate earlier today about you coming to visit

and he actually doesn't like the idea of someone coming to live with us for a while.

So unfortunately you can't stay here with us.

You know our apartment is actually really small.

We only have one bathroom so that would be a bit awkward with all of us sharing the same bathroom.

Also he has a girlfriend and she likes to come over

and watch movies and they like to cook together

so it would be a little bit awkward for their relationship if you were to stay with us.

Also, his work schedule is a bit strange.

Sometimes he works days, sometimes he works nights.

And so he just likes to have a really quiet, peaceful place to live.

So I'm really looking forward to seeing you when you come visit.

100

I hope you can find a great place to stay when you come.

101

Take care.

102

Bye.

103

Okay, a minute.

104

Exactly a minute.

105

So, I said I talked a lot, okay?

106

Try to talk from the beginning to the end.

107

I mean, it's going to cut you off.

108

After a minute is up, it's going to cut you off.

109

So maybe it's good to try to stop talking three or four seconds before you get cut off.

110

But don't stop talking like half a minute early.

111

Okay, that would be bad.

112

You need to use most of your time.

113

Okay?

114

So that's how I would answer this question.

115

Let's take a look at another difficult situation.

116

Here's the situation.

117

You promised your nephew that you would be at his birthday party next weekend, but your boss has asked you to go on a business trip that weekend.

118

You need to call one of them and tell them that you can't make it.

119

Okay, so here's another difficult situation.

120

You promised your nephew that you would go to his birthday party next weekend, but then your boss asked you to go on a business trip that weekend.

121

So you need to decide.

122

Who are you going to talk to?

123

Are you going to talk to your boss and tell him you can't go on the business trip?

124

Or are you going to talk to your nephew and say that you can't go to his birthday party?

125

Well, I think it would be much easier to talk to the nephew.

126

Right?

127

That would probably be easier.

128

It would be hard to talk to your boss and say, Hey, I can't go on the business trip because my nephew's birthday party is that weekend.

129

Your boss would say, What?

130

I'm going to fire you.

131

Well, if he was nice, he would understand, but you don't want to risk your job, right?

132

Okay, so again, you're going to introduce the topic.

133

You're going to tell your nephew about the decision you made.

134

and then you're going to talk about the reasons.

135

Okay, so let's just take a few notes.

136

What are our reasons going to be?

137

Well, my job is really important.

138

I need money right now because I just bought a house.

139

So I need to make the payments on my house.

140

Then you could say, hey, can we party together next week?

141

I have some holidays coming up next week so I'd love to spend three or four days with you.

142

We can play games and stuff.

143

Whatever you want to say here.

144

Now this isn't really a reason why you can't go to his birthday party

145

but it's just something nice to say to encourage him

146

or to show him that you care about him and that you love him.

147

Okay?

148

Then you could say something like this.

149

I bought you a cool present.

150

I think you're going to love it.

151

I can't wait to see you.

152

I can't wait to give you your present.

153

Okay, so there are our reasons.

154

So then it's going to say, start speaking now.

155

And then you need to start speaking.

156

Okay, so I'm going to give this one a try.

157

Again, if you want to try this before I do, then click on the pause button down there.

158

Otherwise, I'm going to start right now.

159

Now remember, when you're talking to him, you're talking to your nephew.

160

So you're going to say something like, hi, Peter, it's Uncle Mark calling.

161

Or if you're a woman, you could say, Hi, Peter.

162

It's Auntie Linda calling.

163

You can say Auntie or Auntie.

164

We pronounce...

165

Yeah, I think it's more common.

166

I actually don't know which is more common.

167

You can decide.

168

Auntie, Auntie.

169

There's two ways to pronounce that word, okay?

170

If it's a really small kid, then you might say Auntie or Auntie.

171

But if it's like an older kid, like a teenager, you might just say Aunt.

172

Aunt Jillian or Aunt Linda or Aunt, however you want to say it.

173

Usually we put the E at the end of a word if it's a small kid.

174

Like a small kid will call his parents Mommy and Daddy.

175

But when the kid grows up, they just say Mom and Dad.

176

Okay, so I'm going to start this by saying, Hi Peter, it's Uncle Mark calling.

177

Okay, ready?

178

Here we go.

179

Hi Peter, it's Uncle Mark calling.

180

I know I promised to be at your birthday party next weekend,

181

but unfortunately my boss has asked me to go on a business trip that weekend, so I won't be able to make it to your party.

182

I'm really sorry about that.

183

My job is really important right now and I can't risk losing my job

184

because I just bought a house and I have to pay the mortgage payments on my house.

185

So I really need to keep my job.

186

Can we party together next week?

187

I have some holidays coming up and I want to come visit you for a few days.

188

We can play some games, bake a cake and have a great time together.

189

And I bought you a really cool present.

190

I know you're going to love it so much, so I can't wait to give it to you.

191

Okay, I'm really sorry again, and I can't wait to see you soon.

192

All right, love you.

193

Bye.

194

Okay, 59 seconds.

195

That was perfect.

196

Okay, a minute.

197

All right, I had one more second to talk.

198

Okay, so that's an example of how I would answer this question.

199

Those are my tips for this question, but let's do some homework.

200

Okay, I want you to answer this difficult situation down there in the comments.

201

Okay, so you are going to the hospital to see your grandma.

202

Your grandma is sick or she got rushed to the hospital.

203

So you're going to see her.

204

A cop pulls you over for speeding.

205

How do you explain your situation?

206

A cop is a police officer.

207

and speeding means driving too fast.

208

You were driving to the hospital really fast.

209

A cop, okay, puts on his sirens and pulls you over for speeding.

210

So you need to explain your situation.

211

What do you tell the cop?

212

Let me know down there in the comments and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.

213

Take care.

214

Thank you.

ステップバイステップシャドーイングガイド

このビデオでの難しい状況に取り組むためには、シャドーイング（shadow speak）が効果的です。以下のステップで練習してみましょう。

質問を読み、メモを取る: 質問をじっくり読み、考える時間が60秒あるので、メモを取ることを忘れずに。重要なポイントを短くまとめましょう。
整理された構造で話す: 会話の構造を持って話すことが重要です。「Hi, it's [あなたの名前] calling here.」で始め、次にトピックを紹介し、最終的に理由を説明します。
相手に理解を求める: あなたの立場を伝えた後、「I hope you can understand my situation.」のように相手に理解を求めることで、会話をスムーズに進めます。
シャドーイング練習: ビデオを見ながら、ネイティブスピーカーの発音やリズムを模倣してみましょう。英語の発音を良くするために、録音して自分の声を聞くことも有効です。

この方法で練習することで、難しい状況でも自信を持って英語を話すことができるようになります。YouTubeで英語学習を続けながら、シャドーイングを取り入れてさらにスキルを伸ばしましょう。

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。
