1
Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time.
2
It might be two weeks time,
3
it might be four months time,
4
it might be 12 months time, who knows?
5
How on earth did it come to this?
6
The coronavirus pandemic started in China,
7
spread to Europe and had reached the UK by the end of January.
8
First off, the government's strategy was to try to contain the virus.
9
It set up quarantine centres for people coming back from mainland China.
10
It traced the contacts of infected people and advised all of us to wash our hands.
11
On 6 February, another case of coronavirus was identified.
12
And by the end of February,
13
the total number of confirmed cases in the UK had reached 23.
14
The virus had begun to spread within the country.
15
It was a bit unusual to see that Hazelmere could be the first place that it's been transmitted without an obvious cause.
16
Contain, delay, research, mitigate.
17
Wash your hands with soap and hot water for the length of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice.
18
Whatever extra resources our NHS needs to cope with coronavirus, it will get.
19
Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time.
20
We need people to start working from home where they possibly can.
21
And you should avoid pubs,
22
clubs, theatres and other such social venues.
23
Just six days after the Chancellor pledged £12 billion to fund the coronavirus response,
24
he was back, this time with £350 billion.
25
This national effort will be underpinned by government interventions in the economy on a scale unimaginable only a few weeks ago.
26
If we can get this down to numbers 20,000 and below,
27
that's a good outcome.
28
This was really the first time that a government figure had publicly come out
29
and put a number on what the UK could expect.
30
And while every single death is an individual tragedy and all the pain that causes,
31
that's why this particular number of 20,000 has become such a marker.
32
And it was the first indication,
33
really, of what was to come.
34
We are collectively telling, telling cafes,
35
pubs, bars and restaurants to close.
36
It might be two weeks time,
37
it might be four months time,
38
it might be twelve months time, who knows, nobody knows.
39
We're paying people's wages up to 80% so someone can be furloughed rather than laid off to protect their jobs.
40
This is when we need the government the most.
41
I'm sorry.
42
I urge you, at this moment of national emergency,
43
to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives.
44
I've developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus.
45
I am now setting the goal of 100,000 tests per day by the end of this month.
46
The 100,000 number itself wasn't picked by scientists,
47
it was a political target set by the health secretary to try to kickstart a big expansion in testing,
48
and that became important later.
49
He remains stable overnight.
50
He's receiving standard oxygen treatment and breathing without any assistance.
51
Of those who've contracted the virus, 10,612 have tragically died.
52
It's unbelievable that people would be so kind.
53
20,319 have died.
54
The number of deaths in hospitals were being recorded,
55
but there were serious concerns about what was happening in care homes.
56
Political pressure increased to try and record how many people were dying there too.
57
We have recorded an additional 3,811 deaths in total.
58
I can confirm today that for the first time we are past the peak of this disease.
59
I can announce that we have met our goal.
60
The number of tests yesterday,
61
on the last day of April, was 122,347.
62
There is some controversy about those figures though,
63
and that's because 40,000 of those tests were home testing kits that were sent out but hadn't yet been completed and returned,
64
and the number of tests did fall in the following days.
65
But it did unquestionably mark a big expansion in the UK's ability to test.
66
And pretty much everyone agrees that that is going to be crucial in moving the country out of lockdown measures.
67
By the 6th of May,
68
more than 30,000 people had died with coronavirus in the UK.
69
And while we're past the peak,
70
that number is still going up.
71
That's now the highest number in Europe.
72
It's the second highest in the world.
73
That's not success or apparent success.
74
So can the Prime Minister tell us how on earth did it come to this?
75
What I can tell him is that at every stage as we took the decisions that we did,
76
we were governed by one overriding principle and aim,
77
and that was to save lives and to protect our NHS.
78
One issue that has kept coming up is the supply of personal protective equipment to frontline workers.
79
Now the government says it's put more than a billion bits of kit into the system,
80
and there is a global supply issue.
81
But doctors, nurses and care workers say there still isn't enough.
82
PPE is going to be vital as lockdown restrictions ease.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
「Coronavirus in the UK: The first 100 days」というビデオでは、パンデミックに対する政府の対応や国民へのメッセージが含まれています。話し手の実際の声を真似ることで、shadowspeaks技術を活用して英語のアクセントやリズムを学ぶことができます。特に、日常会話で使われるフレーズや表現の中で実際の情景を想像することで、YouTubeで英語学習をより効果的に行えます。正確な発音を身につけることが、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つでしょう。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオには、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現が含まれています。
- It might be ... time: この構文は不確実性を表し、未来の状況について言及するのに使われます。例文「It might be two weeks time」など、実生活の状況に合わせて使えます。
- We need ... to ...: 必要性を強調する表現で、他者に呼びかける際に効果的です。「We need people to start working from home」で、自宅勤務を促しています。
- Whatever ... it will ...: 条件付きの強調表現で、不確実性を示します。このようにして、情勢に対する期待感を表現しています。
- I've developed ... symptoms: 現在完了形を使用し、最近の出来事を伝えるための便利な手法です。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオ内には、発音が難しい単語やアクセントがあります。特に以下の点に注意しましょう。
- coronavirus: この単語は、正しく発音するのが難しいことがあります。「コロナウイルス」と呼ばれるこの単語は、特に初めて聞くときに注意が必要です。
- NHS: イギリスの国民保健サービスを指すこの略称は、「エヌエイチエス」と明確に発音する必要があります。
- quarantine: この言葉も多くの人にとって発音のトラップとなります。「クアランティン」ではなく、「クオンティン」と言う場合がありますので、念頭に置いておきましょう。
これらの発音を意識しながら練習をすることで、shadow speech技術を向上させることができるでしょう。話し手の発音を真似ることで、コミュニケーション能力がさらに強化されます。
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。
