I try to talk to him, but...
75
He has a final today.

I don't even know if he studied for it.

Get married, have a family, stuff like that.
110
I can't explain it.
111
I just want to know everything I can about music.
112
I'll get my degree and make something myself.
113
Well, when you become a big star and you get your first hit song, don't forget your friends here at the factory.
114
Me?
115
Forget?

Ah, it's too bad your mother can't see you now.
134
What's for lunch?

Well, good.
142
What about the others?
143
Science, history.
144
Dad, give me a break.
145
I'll pass them all with flying colors.
146
Oh, thanks.
147
Thanks.
148
This won't even cover my bills.
149
Your whole paycheck?
150
Yeah.
151
I lent some money to Jack.
152
You can sure kiss that money goodbye.
153
Why are you so hard on Jack?
154
You know, he's really a good guy.
155
I'm sorry, I just don't think the...
156
Let's forget it.
157
I'd like to cash this check, please.
158
Do you have an account at this bank?
159
Yes.
160
Could I see some form of identification, please?
161
Why do I always have to show Matt?
162
He's a new teller.
163
Hey, they do it for your protection.
164
Right, so we have to show our ID every single time.
165
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200.
166
Thanks.
167
Hi, I'd like to deposit this whole check into my savings account, please.
168
Why do you live without cash?
169
I get money from the cash machine, $40 dollars at a time.
170
Oh, I can't stand you, Rebecca.
171
Don't they charge you for these cash machines?
172
Depends on what kind of account you have and whether you have enough money in it.
173
And you have that much money saved?
174
How else am I going to pay for college?
175
Save, save, save.
176
Do you know about this videotape?
177
The Boston School of Music?
178
Yeah, this is the music school that Becky wants to go to.
179
Why doesn't she study something practical like business?
180
She'll never make any money with a degree in music.
181
You never know.
182
Now, let's review and discuss the story.
183
Kevin is Rebecca's brother.
184
He's a senior in high school.
185
Kevin Casey, high school graduate.
186
Patrick Casey.
187
Is Patrick Casey Rebecca's father?
188
Yes.
189
Hi, Dad.
190
Rebecca's mother died a long time ago.
191
Rebecca meets her best friend Sandy in the factory.
192
Hey, girl, you just made it.
193
There's a big difference between those two women, Rebecca and Sandy.
194
Your dreams are so big, exciting.
195
I mean, my dreams are real simple.
196
Get married, have a family, stuff like that.
197
I just want to know everything I can about music.
198
get my degree and make something myself.
199
I don't think it's good to judge what is right, what is wrong, and it's just a personal choice.
200
And Sandy, if that's really what she wants to do and have a family settle down, that's fine.
201
You can also do both.
202
I think these days married women are not stuck just sitting home and having children.
203
I think you can have a career and do whatever you want.
204
So these two things are not really conflict with each other can have both
205
if you can manage it well in both situation you you gain something you lose something at the same time too

この動画で話す練習をする理由

日常会話のリアルな場面を学ぶのに最適なのがこの動画です。家族同士のくだけた会話から、大学の申請書を書く悩みまで、生活に密着したシチュエーションが満載。英語スピーキング練習には、自然な発音やイントネーション、さらには文脈に合った表現が重要です。ここで使われているフレーズは、誰でも遭遇する場面で使えるものばかり。shadowing siteで繰り返し練習すれば、実際に英語で話すときの流れが身につきます。

文脈の中の文法と表現

  • 「Put what you want on the list.」:疑問詞節「what you want」を目的語に使った文。日常会話でよく使われる構造で、「あなたが欲しいものをリストに書いて」という意味。
  • 「I can't believe how many forms I have to fill out.」:「how many~」で驚きや不満を表す。「どれだけたくさんの書類を記入しなければならないのか信じられない」というニュアンス。
  • 「When are you going to give up junk food...?」:「be going to」で未来の予定や意志を表す。「いつからジャンクフードをやめるつもり?」という質問で、日常的な誘いやアドバイスに使えます。

発音の難しいポイント

この会話には発音のトラップがいくつかあります。例えば「cereal」は「シリアル」ではなく「シリアル」(正確には/ˈsɪriəl/)、「peanut butter」は「ピーナッツ バター」ではなく「ピーナット バター」と発音します。また、「I can't believe」の「can't」は強く発音される場合と弱くなる場合があり、文脈によってイントネーションが変わります。英語シャドーイングをする際は、これらの微妙な違いに注意して繰り返し聞き、真似してみてください。shadow speakの技法を使えば、自然な発音が身につきます。

動画で英語学習するメリットは、視覚と聴覚を使って記憶に残りやすいこと。この会話を使って、毎日少しずつ練習すれば、英語が自然に口から出てくるようになります。

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。
