1
Take a look at these two vehicles.
2
This one is called a van.
3
And that one is called an SUV.
4
SUV, that stands for Sports Utility Vehicle.
5
SUV, okay?
6
Now when you take the CELPIP exam, you're going to see a question
7
where you have to compare two things and then persuade someone that your choice is the best.
8
Okay, so in this lesson I'm going to teach you how to answer this question.
9
Now I'm making a lot of videos on cellpips so if you want more lessons like this, make sure you hit that subscribe button right down there.
10
Okay, so this question is task 5 on the CELPIP exam.
11
And it's about comparing and persuading.
12
Now, when you answer this question, you need to use lots of comparison words.
13
Okay, like this: "EASIER" or "HARDER" "Older /Newer" "FASTER /SLOWER" "BETTER /WORSE" "LIGHTER /DARKER" "MORE EXPENSIVE" "LESS EXPENSIVE" Okay,
14
the person who's going to be listening to your exam and giving you your marks,
15
they're going to be listening specifically for words like this: Okay,
16
so you need to know how to use comparison words when you answer this question.
17
Now this is how we persuade people in English.
18
Okay?
19
We use phrases like this: "I think this one would be a better choice for our family because..." Or,
20
the reason we should get this one is because...
21
Or, if we get this one, we will...
22
Okay, let's say the question is asking you to compare two apartments.
23
Okay?
24
And you need to decide which one is better for your family.
25
It was a very loud airplane.
26
flying over my house.
27
Can you hear it in here?
28
It's distracting me.
29
Okay, so let's say you need to Pick an apartment.
30
Okay?
31
You could say: "If we get this apartment,
32
we will have more space to host guests." or something like that, okay?
33
So these are good ways to convince someone that your choice is the best.
34
So maybe you can memorize some of these phrases, okay?
35
But there are other ways to say this as well.
36
Okay, so let's take a look at this question.
37
So you're going to see two things.
38
In this case, it's two vehicles.
39
And it's going to give some Ok,
40
so the question here is: Your family is looking for a new vehicle.
41
You found two options.
42
Using the pictures and information below, choose the option that you prefer.
43
In the next section, you will need to persuade your family that your choice is the better choice.
44
If you do not choose an option, the computer will choose one for you.
45
Ok.
46
these two pictures and you have 60 seconds to choose the option that you like best.
47
And then you need to click on which one you want.
48
If you don't click on one, the computer is going to decide for you.
49
You don't want that.
50
You want to look at these things and see which one you like better.
51
And choose that one.
52
Okay?
53
So let's take a look at these.
54
Okay, so the SUV is 42 ,000.
55
The van is 34 ,000.
56
The SUV gets 11 liters per 100 kilometers.
57
fuel economy.
58
Okay, the fuel economy on the van is a little bit better.
59
It's 8 liters per 100 kilometers.
60
The SUV seats 7, the van seats 8, the SUV has four -wheel drive,
61
but the van is only two -wheel drive.
62
Okay now you don't need to do any speaking here.
63
You don't need to do any comparing or anything.
64
Just look at them and and pick which one you like better, or which one you think will be easier to talk about.
65
Okay, so let's say we choose the van.
66
Okay, so we click on the van.
67
Then Suddenly, another picture is going to pop up.
68
Okay, so We chose the van that's here then it's going to say your family is wants to buy a station wagon.
69
Okay, that style of vehicle is called a station wagon.
70
Okay, so your family wants to buy a station wagon.
71
You need to convince them that your choice is better.
72
Okay, so that's the question.
73
Now you're going to have 60 seconds to
74
to compare these and to make some notes and think about what you want to say.
75
Okay, so you have the van, 34 ,000, 28 ,000.
76
Okay, so you have all this information.
77
Now, what are you going to put in your notes when you take notes?
78
Okay, for this question you have 60 seconds to take notes.
79
In a lot of the other questions on the speaking part, you only have 30 seconds.
80
So you should take a few notes so that when you're speaking, If you forget what to say,
81
you can look at your notes and it'll remind you of the next thing you want to talk about.
82
Okay, so try to make...
83
try to have like three or four...
84
things why your choice is better than their choice.
85
Okay, so you want the van instead of the station wagon.
86
Okay, so, hmm, I'm going to think, well, the van is bigger,
87
which would be better for going on road trips, right?
88
Because it's a little bit, it's more comfortable.
89
There's more room inside to stretch out and it's also got more luggage space.
90
Because when you go on a road trip with your family, you need a lot of space, right?
91
Okay, so I'm just going to write bigger, road trips.
92
Then I'm going to think of another reason.
93
Hmm...
94
More seats.
95
Thank you.
96
There's another airplane flying over my house.
97
There's so many airplanes today.
98
I don't know why they're all flying over my house today.
99
I live near the airport, but usually it's not this bad.
100
Those are pretty loud.
101
Okay, so my next my next note is going to be more seats.
102
Because, Then we can take our friends with us, maybe on road trips or anywhere.
103
We can have our family and our friends.
104
Okay, then my third reason is going to be, hmm, The price and the fuel economy are not much different.
105
Okay?
106
Maybe six or seven thousand dollars difference in price.
107
One liter difference in fuel economy.
108
Okay, so that's not much difference.
109
Okay, so then you need to actually speak after your preparation.
110
It's going to say start speaking now.
111
to pause this video and try to take some notes or you can use my notes if you want,
112
and then speak for 60 seconds to get some practice.
113
Now, it might be a little bit embarrassing for you to speak out loud, You might just think about it in your head,
114
but I think it's a good practice for you to speak out loud, because then you will be more...
115
comfortable, when you actually take the test.
116
Okay, so you might be in your house right now and your family is around you and you might be embarrassed.
117
You don't want your family to hear you speaking.
118
Okay, but when you take the CELPIP exam, You're going to be in a big room with other people.
119
Okay, so you can hear those other people talking, and they can hear you talking they're probably not listening because they're wearing,
120
you're going to be wearing like a headset with a microphone.
121
Okay, so everyone is busy looking at their own exam.
122
So nobody's going to be listening to you but it might be distracting.
123
Okay, so it's good to practice speaking out loud at home and that way I think you'll be more prepared
124
on the exam.
125
Okay so try your best and then when you're When you're ready to hear my answer,
126
then press the play button because I'm going to give you my answer right now.
127
Okay, so I have my stopwatch here.
128
And I'm going to start right now.
129
Hey guys, I know you really want to buy the station wagon, and I think that would be a good choice.
130
But I think the van would be an even better choice because it's a little bit bigger.
131
Which means it'll be much better for going on road trips.
132
I want to go on a lot of road trips in the next few years.
133
much more comfortable.
134
Also, having the extra two seats in the van would mean that we could take our friends
135
on our road trips as well.
136
Or if we're just driving around the city we can take a lot of people in the van.
137
Now, even though the station wagon is a little bit better in fuel economy, it's really not that big of a difference.
138
And also it's a little bit cheaper, but that's okay because I have a good job.
139
So, all in all, I think the van would be a better choice.
140
Done.
141
Okay, that was a minute.
142
I was a little bit rushed at the end.
143
But that's okay because I kept talking
144
from the first second all the way to the last second okay
145
so the number one mistake people make is they don't speak enough so remember try to keep talking without too many
146
pauses in your speech.
147
Okay, so the first thing you might have noticed is that I was talking to a person Okay, so that's good.
148
That's how you should handle this question.
149
Just make someone up.
150
If it's one person, then make up a name like, "Hey John, I would recommend this or something like that.
151
But if you're talking to a group of people like your family or friends, then you can say, "Hey guys, I know you want to do this,
152
but I think we should do
153
this okay so talk to a person now another thing you may have noticed is
154
that i didn't say any numbers i didn't say the station wagon has six seats
155
and the van has eight seats okay i didn't just list the numbers i used words okay
156
so you need to use words like cheaper, more expensive, more or less space,
157
better or worse fuel economy.
158
Okay, if you use words like this, you're going to get really good marks.
159
Okay, now the next tip is that you should acknowledge the advantages of the other choice.
160
Okay, look at this.
161
The station wagon is actually cheaper.
162
Okay, you're trying to say that the van is a better choice, but the station wagon is cheaper, it has better fuel economy, okay?
163
So those are sort of negative things.
164
So how are you going to handle that?
165
How should you say that?
166
You should acknowledge it, and this is how you acknowledge the advantages of the other choice.
167
You say, "Even though the station wagon is cheaper, The van is a better option because...
168
it's more comfortable or whatever you want to say.
169
Or you could say, even though the station wagon has better fuel economy The van is a better option because...
170
blah blah blah whatever you want to say okay so this is a great way to talk about the things
171
with the other choice that may be better.
172
And there's going to be those on the test, okay?
173
So, maybe you should memorize a sentence like this: Even though.. blah blah blah blah the is a better option because...
174
okay, so try to remember this sentence when you take your exam.
175
Okay, so the next thing you need to do is to show appreciation.
176
I mean, you don't need to do this, but it's nice.
177
When you're trying to convince someone of something.
178
Okay, like when I started speaking,
179
I said, "Hey guys, I know you really want to buy the station wagon." And that would be a good choice.
180
Okay, so I'm showing appreciation for their choice before I tell them my choice.
181
Okay?
182
So you can say, hey guys, I appreciate your suggestion, but I think we should...
183
by the van because...
184
okay?
185
So that's also good.
186
Now, let's take a look at another example.
187
Do you want to or are you bored yet?
188
You should probably get as much practice as you can.
189
So let's take a look at another question.
190
Okay, so in this question, we're given two hotels.
191
Hmm, and we need to take a look at all this information.
192
Now the question is: is going to be: "You and your friends are going on a holiday."
193
You are looking for hotels and you found two suitable options.
194
Using the pictures and information below, choose the option that you prefer.
195
In the next section, you will need to persuade your friends that your choice is a better choice.
196
If you do not choose the option, the computer will choose one for you.
197
Okay, so remember, you need to choose an option.
198
So maybe wait like 45 or 50 seconds and then make your selection.
199
Okay, so you're going to to look at them.
200
Now remember you're not speaking at all here.
201
You're not taking notes at all.
202
You're just looking at each option and you're going to Pick the one that you like better.
203
Okay, so this one is downtown, this one is near the beach.
204
Okay, so already I know I'm going to like this one because I like beaches.
205
Okay?
206
This one is a bit cheaper as well.
207
It doesn't have a swimming pool.
208
That one has a swimming pool, but this one is near the beach, so it doesn't matter.
209
That one has a free breakfast.
210
This one has free drinks.
211
Which one will be easier for me to talk about?
212
Well...
213
I think this one is going to be easier for me.
214
So I'm going to click on this one and then suddenly there's a different picture there.
215
Okay, so here's my selection and the question is going to be: your friends are recommending a guest house in the mountains.
216
Convince them that your choice is better.
217
Okay, so they're recommending a guest house in the mountains.
218
It costs $100 a night.
219
It has a hot tub and it has free meals.
220
- Wow, okay, so how am I going to convince them that my choice is better?
221
Okay, so here are the notes I'm going to take.
222
Okay.
223
the location is a little bit better.
224
Now remember, I'm just writing very short notes because I only have one minute to prepare.
225
That's not very much.
226
Okay, so I'm going to say better location.
227
Well, nicer rooms.
228
Even though the guest house is cheaper, I think the hotel will have better rooms.
229
So nicer rooms.
230
Drinks are a better value.
231
than the free meals because we're on holiday We want to be drinking lots of milkshakes,
232
maybe some champagne or whatever we want, okay?
233
So those are my notes.
234
Now you need to speak for 60 seconds.
235
Okay?
236
So I want you to pause this video
237
and I want you to try again to speak for 60 seconds and see what you say.
238
Then after that you can press play.
239
And here, my answer to this question.
240
Okay?
241
So here is my answer to the question.
242
Are you ready?
243
Set Go.
244
Hey guys, I know you found a great guest house in the mountains and I think that would be a good option.
245
It's cheaper, it has a hot tub, it has free meals, but I think The one near the beach
246
is actually going to be a much better place for us because it's going to have a much better environment.
247
We're on holiday.
248
We want to feel like we're on holiday.
249
So the warm weather, the palm trees, the beach, the ocean, it's going to give us a better feeling like we're on holiday.
250
Now even though the guesthouse is a lot cheaper.
251
The rooms in the hotel are going to be much nicer.
252
Bigger bathrooms, bigger TVs, that kind of thing.
253
And also, I mean, even though the guesthouse has free meals, I think we're going to enjoy the free drinks much more.
254
We want to be drinking lots of milkshakes, champagne, and everything.
255
So this is a better Choice.
256
Okay, exactly a minute.
257
Again, I was a little bit rushed at the end.
258
Maybe I should have planned it out a little bit better.
259
But you know what?
260
If you don't answer a question very good or you don't feel very confident about it, just forget about it and move on to the next question.
261
Because if you take the negative feelings and you're worried about that one, then you're going to do even worse on the next one.
262
Okay, so even if you do bad on a question, just forget about it.
263
and move on.
264
Okay, so that was my answer.
265
Now, here are the tips that I want to give you, okay, when you answer this question.
266
Talk to a person or a group of people.
267
"Hey John, I think we should do this" or "Hey guys,
268
I think..." Okay, show appreciation for the other person's selection.
269
Okay, with the guest house I said, "Hey, I know you guys have found a great guest house.
270
I think that's a good option." But...
271
I think this one is a better option.
272
Okay, so show appreciation.
273
Use lots of comparison words.
274
Cheaper, more expensive, better, worse bigger rooms, smaller rooms, okay?
275
Acknowledge the advantages of the other rooms.
276
option, okay?
277
Even though the guest house is half the price of the hotel,
278
the hotel will be better because It has nicer rooms, bigger beds, whatever else you want to say.
279
Okay, so those are my tips for how to answer task 5 on the CELFIP exam.
280
Now let's do some homework, okay?
281
I want you to compare V's to.
282
Okay?
283
So you're going to speak for 60 seconds and you're going to write your notes down in the comments, what you said, because I can't hear you.
284
I can read what you write.
285
Okay, so the first one is a cruise.
286
That costs $2 ,000.
287
free meals, and it's eight nights.
288
And this one is a resort.
289
It's $2 ,800.
290
It's all inclusive, which means free meals and free drinks.
291
and it's seven nights.
292
Okay, so I want you to compare these two options and persuade me why your option is the better choice.
293
Let me know down there in the comments, and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
294
Take care.
295

文脈と背景

このビデオでは、CELPIP試験のスピーキングセクションについて取り上げています。特に、二つの選択肢を比較し、自分の選択肢がどれほど優れているかを説得する方法が説明されています。比較と説得のスキルを磨くことは、CELPIPの試験において重要です。英語のスピーキング能力を向上させたい学生には、この練習が非常に役立ちます。

日常会話のためのトップ5フレーズ

  • 「この選択肢は私たちの家族にとってより良いと思います。」 - 何かを選ぶ理由を述べるときに便利です。
  • 「これを選べば、ゲストを招くためのスペースが増えます。」 - 特定の利点を説明する際に使用できます。
  • 「この車はあちらよりももっと早いです。」 - 物を比較する際に使える表現です。
  • 「このアパートはあのアパートよりも新しいです。」 - 新旧を比較するときに役立ちます。
  • 「こちらの方が、あちらよりも安価です。」 - 価格比較をしながら説得する表現です。

段階的シャドーイングガイド

このビデオの内容に基づいて、英語シャドーイングを行う際のステップバイステップガイドを以下に示します。

  1. ビデオを視聴する:最初にビデオ全体を見て、内容を理解しましょう。特に比較と説得のテクニックに注目してください。
  2. リピート練習:ビデオのスピーカーの後に続いて、セリフを声に出して繰り返します。この際、発音やアクセントにも注意を払いましょう。
  3. フレーズの暗記:上記のトップ5フレーズを覚え、自分の言葉でアレンジできるよう練習します。
  4. ロールプレイ:友人やパートナーと一緒に、さまざまなシナリオを作成して実際に話す練習をします。例えば、異なる選択肢を比較する場面を設定します。
  5. 録音してフィードバック:自分の声を録音し、発音や流暢さを確認しながら改善ポイントを見つけます。

このように、シャドーイングと比較・説得の技術を組み合わせることで、英会話スキルを大きく向上させることができます。ぜひ、shadowspeakやshadowspeaksといったテクニックを活用して、実践してみてください。

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。
