1
Section 3.
2
You will hear a student called Russ consulting his tutor about a presentation he is preparing on nanotechnology,
3
the study of materials on an extremely small scale.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
5
Thank you.
6
21 to 25.
7
Come in, Russ.
8
Thank you.
9
Now, you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology.
10
You're due to give it next week, aren't you?
11
That's right, and I'm really struggling.
12
I chose the topic because I didn't know much about it and wanted to learn more,
13
but now I've read so much about it,
14
in a way there's too much to say.
15
I could talk for much longer than the twenty minutes I've been allocated.
16
Should I assume the other students don't know much and give them a kind of general introduction,
17
or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect?
18
You could do either, but you'll need to have it clear in your own mind.
19
Then I think I'll give an overview.
20
Okay.
21
Now, one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order.
22
On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology is being applied.
23
You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water repellent
24
and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter.
25
Exactly.
26
Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area,
27
say medicine or space exploration.
28
That would make it easier to focus.
29
Perhaps I should do that.
30
I think that would be a good idea.
31
Right.
32
How important is it to include slides in the presentation?
33
They aren't essential by any means.
34
And there's a danger of tailoring what you say to fit whatever slides you can find.
35
While it can be good to include slides,
36
you could end up spending too long looking for suitable ones.
37
You might find it better to leave them out.
38
I see.
39
Another thing I was wondering about was how to start.
40
I know presentations often begin with,
41
first I'm going to talk about this,
42
and then I'll talk about that.
43
but I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology.
44
That would be fine if you had an hour
45
or two for the presentation but you might find
46
that you can't do anything with the answers you get and it simply eats into the short time that's available.
47
So maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used to focus people's attention.
48
That sounds sensible.
49
What do you think I should do next?
50
I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow.
51
Well, initially I think you should ignore all the notes you've made,
52
take a small piece of paper and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation.
53
It can be something as simple as,
54
nanotechnology is already improving our lives.
55
Then start planning the content around that.
56
You can always modify that sentence later if you need to.
57
OK.
58
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
59
you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
60
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
61
OK, now let's think about actually giving the presentation.
62
You've only given one before,
63
if I remember correctly, about an experiment you'd been involved in.
64
That's right.
65
It was pretty rubbish.
66
Let's say it was better in some respects than in others.
67
With regard to the structure,
68
I felt that you ended rather abruptly, without rounding it off.
69
Be careful not to do that in next week's presentation.
70
OK.
71
And you made very little eye contact with the audience,
72
because you were looking down at your notes most of the time.
73
You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes.
74
Your body language was a little odd every time you showed a slide you turned your back on the audience
75
so you could look at it
76
you should have been looking at your laptop
77
and you kept scratching your head so i found myself wondering
78
when you were next going to do
79
that instead of listening to what you were saying oh dear what did you think of the language i knew
80
that not everyone was familiar with the subject so I tried to make it as simple as I could.
81
Yes, that came across.
82
You used a few words that are specific to the field,
83
but you always explained what they meant,
84
so the audience wouldn't have had any difficulty understanding.
85
Uh-huh.
86
I must say, the handouts you prepared were well thought out.
87
They were a good summary of your presentation,
88
which people would have been able to refer to later on,
89
so well done on that.
90
Thank you.
91
Well, I hope that helps you with next week's presentation.
92
Yes, it will.
93
Thanks a lot.
94
I'll look forward to seeing a big improvement then.
95
That is the end of Section 3.
96
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
97
Now turn to section 4.

なぜこの動画で話す練習をするべきか?

この動画では、学生のラッスがチューターとナノテクノロジーに関するプレゼンテーションの計画について相談するシーンが描かれています。YouTubeで英語学習をする際、こうした実際の会話を通じて、日常で使われる言語の流れやトーンを学ぶことができます。このような実践的な内容は、英語スピーキング練習にとって非常に価値があります。具体的なトピックについて話すことで、専門用語や表現を深く理解でき、自信を持って他の人と会話できるようになります。

文法と文脈での表現

ラッスの会話からは、以下のいくつかの重要な文法構造と表現を学ぶことができます:

  • 「Should I assume...?」 - これは仮定文で、何かを前提として考える場合に使われます。この構文は意見を述べる際に非常に便利です。
  • 「You could do either...」 - この表現は選択肢を提示する際に役立ちます。「どちらも可能です」という意味合いを持ち、相手に考える余地を与えます。
  • 「It's important to include...」 - 何かが重要であることを強調する表現です。プレゼンテーションの際には特にこのようなフレーズが大切です。
  • 「That sounds sensible.」 - これは、相手のアイディアに対して同意や支持を表現するための自然な言い回しです。

これらの文法構造を使って、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立てていきましょう。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

発音の練習において注意を払うべき単語やアクセントがあります。例えば、「nanotechnology」という単語は、日本語では「ナノテクノロジー」として知られていますが、英語では母音の強弱が異なります。正確に発音することで、ネイティブスピーカーとのコミュニケーションがスムーズになります。また、ラッスのように「presentation」や「overview」といった単語を使う時には、強調する音に注意を払うことも大切です。これにより、英語の発音を良くすることができます。

この動画を参考にして、shadow speakの練習を行い、正しい発音と流暢なスピーチを身につけましょう。英語学習の成果を向上させるためには、こうした具体的な練習が不可欠です。

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。
