England, 1995 Hey!
2
Jan!
3
Look at this!
4
Carol said.
5
She had a letter in her hand and took it across to her husband at the breakfast table.
6
It's from the Oxford Orchestra, she said.
7
They're giving concerts in the Czech Republic this Christmas.
8
They're doing three concerts in Prague and they're asking me to go because they need a harpist.
9
Shall we go to Prague for Christmas?
10
I can play with the orchestra and you can come with us.' When are the concerts? asked Jan.
11
I always have a lot of work in the weeks before Christmas.
12
I must finish writing my new book then.
13
Jan taught Czech at Oxford University and wrote books about languages.
14
He was born in Czechoslovakia, but came to England with his father when he was very young.
15
He met Carol when she was one of his students at university.
16
''The first concert is on December 20th,'' Carol answered.
17
''Are you free then?'' No, I'm sorry, Carol, Jan said,
18
but I can't come before December the 24th.
19
Well, it doesn't matter.
20
You can come for the second concert.
21
It's on December the 25th.
22
But what about my father? said Jan.
23
We can't go away and leave him at Christmas time.
24
He loves a family Christmas with us.
25
You know that.
26
Josef Vlach was sixty-eight years old, and his eyes were bad.
27
He couldn't see very well.
28
So he lived with Carol and Jan.
29
Yosef can come with us, Carol said.
30
He often talks about Prague at Christmas.
31
He says it's the most beautiful time of the year there, because of all the snow on the old buildings.
32
I know, said Jan, but he only talks about Prague.
33
He never wants to go there.
34
Every time we ask him to come with us, he says no. I don't know why,
35
but I think it's because of my mother.
36
When he thinks about Prague, he remembers her.
37
You know, sometimes he cries when he looks at his photo of her, after all these years.
38
Just then, the door opened and Jan's father came slowly into the room.
39
Good morning, he said, and sat down at the table. Is there any coffee?
40
It's cold now, said Carol.
41
Shall I make you some more?
42
Thank you, my dear, he answered.
43
You're very good to me.
44
Carol went out for some coffee.
45
Jan looked at his father carefully.
46
I must ask him now, he thought, while Carol is out of the room.
47
You're very quiet, Jan, said the old man. Is something wrong?
48
No, no, said Jan quickly.
49
Nothing's wrong.
50
It's just...
51
I want to ask you a question, but...
52
It's difficult.
53
Jan stopped.
54
His father smiled.
55
Difficult?
56
Why is it difficult?
57
Are you afraid of an old man?
58
Of course not, said Jan.
59
But I am afraid of your answer.
60
You see, Carol wants to go very much.
61
She loves playing her harp, but it's Christmas time and- Stop, said Josef.
62
What are you talking about?
63
Where does Carol want to go at Christmas?" "'To Prague,' said Jan.
64
And I would like to go with her.
65
We want you to come too.' "'Ah,' said the old man, "'to Prague.
66
I understand now.' The room was suddenly very quiet.
67
Jan drank his cold coffee and waited.
68
The old man took something out of his pocket.
69
It was a photograph of his dead wife, Jan's mother.
70
He spoke very quietly, not to Jan, but to the photograph in his hand.
71
Perhaps now, before I die, just once I can go back again.
72
Carol came back with some hot coffee.
73
She looked at Josef, then at Jan.
74
Shh!
75
He's thinking about Prague, Jan said quietly.
76
Carol put the coffee on the table and sat down.
77
The hands on the clock slowly moved through two long minutes.
78
Then the old man put the photograph back in his pocket.
79
All right, he said.
80
Let's all go to Prague for Christmas.
81
It's beautiful there when it snows.
82
I remember it so well, so very well.
83
Thank you.
84
Thank you.

シナリオ：クリスマスのプラハでの家族の会話
このビデオの会話は、1995年のイングランドでハーピストのキャロルと夫のヤン、そしてヤンの父親ヨセフがクリスマスにプラハへ行くことを話し合う場面です。家族の約束や仕事の都合、過去の思い出など、日常的な葛藤が自然に描かれており、IELTS スピーキング対策にも最適なリアルな会話パターンが満載です。
覚えておきたい便利なフレーズとコロケーション
- Shall we go to...：「～へ行きましょうか」という提案の表現。家族や友人との計画を話す時によく使われます。
- leave him at Christmas time：「クリスマスに彼を残す」というコロケーション。休日に誰かを置いて行く場面で自然に使えます。
- talks about Prague at Christmas：「クリスマスのプラハについて話す」。季節と場所を組み合わせた表現で、思い出話をする時に便利です。
- come slowly into the room：「ゆっくり部屋に入ってくる」。動作を描写する際の自然な言い回しです。
あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ
まず、shadowing siteでこの会話の音声を見つけ、shadowspeak（シャドースピーク）の練習をしてみましょう。具体的なタスクは次の通りです：
1. ヤンとキャロルの会話部分を1文ずつ聞き、すぐに同じ速さ・イントネーションで繰り返します。
2. 特に「I must finish writing my new book then」のような未来の予定を述べる文を重点的に練習し、自然なリズムを身につけます。
3. ヨセフの台詞「Good morning, he said, and sat down at the table」のような動作を伴う発言は、口調と動作を合わせて再現してみましょう。
この練習はshadowspeaksの基本であり、IELTS スピーキング対策の一環として毎日5分続けると効果的です。
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。
