1
I've been thinking about clouds a lot lately.
2
I mean, they're pretty fascinating.
3
They float along in the sky, some days there aren't that many, other days there are so many clouds, they actually block the sun from view.
4
We are going to be learning all about clouds in this video.
5
You'll learn what they are made of, what they do, how to identify different types of clouds, and more.
6
Basically, after this video, you'll know a lot about clouds, okay?
7
You'll understand them.
8
You'll know, for example, that clouds are made of little drops of water or small pieces of ice depending on the cloud.
9
And that's our first fact.
10
Clouds are made of little drops of water or small pieces of ice, depending on the cloud.
11
So when you see clouds in the sky, you can say, wow, look at that water up there.
12
There's water up there just floating.
13
And someone might say, you mean clouds, right?
14
And then you could say, yeah, clouds are made of water.
15
Okay, so clouds are made of water, but are there other things in clouds too, other than water?
16
Yeah, there are.
17
You see, clouds have other things in them called aerosols.
18
That's an interesting word.
19
Aerosols.
20
Okay, what in the world are aerosols?
21
Well, aerosols are super tiny particles in the air.
22
One common example of an aerosol is dust.
23
This footage shows dust floating in the air.
24
Are you able to see the dust?
25
You might have to look closely.
26
Like other aerosols, dust is so light it just floats in the air.
27
Okay, this dog is kicking up a lot of dust.
28
Dust is an aerosol and is found in many clouds.
29
Who knows, Rover?
30
Maybe the dust you are kicking up as you run may become part of a cartoon cloud someday. Who knows? Who knows?
31
Another common aerosol in clouds is seesaw.
32
Sea salt particles are very common in our atmosphere because 71 % of our planet is covered in water.
33
Okay, so aerosols are tiny little particles that float in the air like dust or sea salt.
34
Now check this out.
35
Water collects on the aerosols in the sky, forming a cloud.
36
Aerosols are like floating hangout spots for the little drops of water that make up a cloud.
37
It's like if this kid is a drop of water and the beanbag chair is an aerosol, like a speck of dust.
38
Water just hangs out on the aerosol particles, just relaxing.
39
Ah, this is nice.
40
Now, sometimes the water gets too heavy for the aerosol particles and falls out of the cloud to the ground.
41
That's called precipitation.
42
Precipitation.
43
Big word.
44
Can you say that?
45
Precipitation.
46
Yeah.
47
Precipitation is a big word that refers to any time water falls out of clouds to the ground.
48
What type of precipitation is this?
49
Yeah, rain.
50
Rain is a great example of precipitation.
51
When it's raining, it's like the clouds in the sky are sharing their water with us.
52
Wow, look at all of the water the clouds are sharing with us.
53
Thanks.
54
Oh, hey, maybe a little too much rain, you think?
55
You can keep some of the water for yourselves, clouds.
56
Another form of precipitation you may have seen is snow.
57
Snow.
58
Does it snow where you live?
59
Okay.
60
If it's cold enough, snow can fall from clouds.
61
There are other types of precipitation too, like freezing rain, sleet, and hail.
62
They are all ways that water falls from clouds to the ground.
63
That is a big part of what clouds do.
64
But that's not all.
65
Clouds also lower the temperature, cooling the earth.
66
Some of the sunlight bounces off of clouds, making it less hot.
67
First, they share their water with us, and then they help us stay cooler.
68
Wow!
69
Dear clouds, thank you for the water you bring to us through precipitation and for making it cooler here.
70
I also want to say I'd love a pony.
71
I don't know if you grant wishes.
72
I just thought I'd try.
73
Sincerely, Homeschool Pop.
74
oh now it's time for a random cloud fact this is
75
a cloud fact you can be sure is a fact about
76
clouds all right here we go some clouds can move faster than 100 miles per hour
77
those are the fastest clouds most clouds move slower than that but the fastest clouds can move over 100 miles per hour.
78
That's really, really fast, especially since clouds are made of water, you know?
79
That's fast water.
80
Fast water.
81
Aw, Pupsy wants to race the clouds.
82
You're fast, Pupsy, but are you cloud fast?
83
Hey, Pupsy, while you run, let's look at a random cloud fact.
84
Again, another one.
85
Another cloud fact.
86
You keep running.
87
All right, this might come as a surprise, but you know fog when it's hard to see outside
88
and it kind of looks like clouds are floating around on the ground?
89
Well, fog is a type of cloud that touches Earth's surface.
90
Fog is a type of cloud.
91
If you've ever wished you could touch a cloud, just wait for a foggy day.
92
Dream come true?
93
Look at that fog just floating there.
94
Fog is a type of cloud that touches Earth's surface.
95
Okay, is anything going to jump out of the water, or are we going to see anything interesting, or are we just staring at the fog here?
96
I guess it's just the fog.
97
That's okay.
98
okay now we are going to learn about three types of clouds
99
so you can identify clouds in the sky the next time
100
you're outside first we have cumulus clouds cumulus clouds cumulus clouds
101
are like pillows in the sky they look super fluffy they look like clouds you would just want to hug cumulus clouds.
102
Next, we have stratus clouds.
103
Stratus clouds are like blankets in the sky.
104
They look really flat.
105
Stratus clouds are flat clouds that are almost like blankets.
106
Stratus.
107
Last, we have cirrus clouds.
108
Cirrus clouds look very wispy.
109
Cirrus clouds almost look like white cotton candy strands.
110
Sometimes they could almost look like feathers.
111
Cirrus clouds.
112
Let's see.
113
Cumulus clouds are fluffy.
114
Stratus clouds are flat.
115
Cirrus clouds are wispy.
116

127

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。
