11
Okay, are you ready?
12
Do you have your tea?
13
Good.
14
Let's begin.
15
My positive moment from the week was that I have started to drive again.
16
So in the UK, you have to do a driving test
17
and you have to spend lots of time and money to prepare for the test beforehand.
18
And so I am very happy because I passed and yeah,
19
I decided to start driving again.
20
It's been nice because I have been driving with my mum.
21
So I drive and she sits next to me and it's nice because we explore the local area,
22
we catch up, which means we speak about our lives,
23
what happened, how we're feeling and we laugh together and also with every day I feel more confident.
24
So yeah it's good.
25
I like to drive, it makes me feel independent and next week two of my friends from Mexico will visit me.
26
So I want to take them for a ride in London.
27
Hopefully, I'll be ready.
28
My negative part of the week,
29
Well, honestly, last week I didn't feel very good.
30
Women, we have a period every month and to be honest,
31
my period is not that painful,
32
but with my head, it just makes me feel very sad and low so I felt really bad last week.
33
There's actually some funny memes online and they are interesting
34
because they speak about the different parts of a period and how you feel in different parts.
35
So for example, the follicular phase,
36
you have lots of energy,
37
you want to go out all the time,
38
you want to socialise, you want to meet people,
39
you feel really good in that period.
40
And then you have the luthiel phase,
41
I think, and that time you feel awful,
42
you feel tired, you have no energy,
43
you don't want to speak to people
44
and yeah it really affects the way you perceive the world
45
and the work you can do and if you can do exercise.
46
So yeah last week was my difficult phase.
47
Now I'm entering the nice phase so I feel a lot better.
48
Now I'll speak about a hopeful moment in my week.
49
After I felt so terrible I decided to go to a therapist.
50
This therapist
51
I actually saw about a year ago and she really helped me
52
because I was not in a good place and I needed to speak to somebody and when I went back
53
it was really useful because she really understands me
54
and I think sometimes I feel quite a lot of shame
55
or I feel guilty about some things I feel sometimes I feel a bit like my ideas about the world and life,
56
I can't see them in other people or the place around me.
57
Sometimes, honestly, I feel like I'm going crazy or I think,
58
am I the only one who thinks this?
59
But yeah, she really helped me and she made me see that my thoughts and ideas,
60
yes, they are quite different thoughts,
61
but it's okay that I have them.
62
And actually, I think it's really nice that I think so independently.
63
And I have created my own ideas about what is important in life and how I want to live my life.
64
so yeah it was just really nice to have
65
that conversation with her and to feel understood
66
and validated really it has made me feel a lot better and more confident to
67
really try to build the rather strange life that I feel is right for me.
68
Finally, my memorable moment again is more of a thought than something
69
that happened but I was at my mum's boyfriend's house
70
and I was sat on the sofa in the living room
71
and I looked outside and I saw a bird's nest in the tree
72
and I started to think about this bird's nest
73
and I thought wow one those birds must be really cold because in England now it's freezing,
74
it's really cold and two I thought wow I need to spend less time on my phone
75
because I don't appreciate what's around me.
76
For example, it's really beautiful that there's a bird's nest outside my house.
77
And actually, I decided to go into the garden and look at the bird's nest.
78
and I started thinking about why does a bird choose a certain place for a nest?
79
Does it need to be a specific type of tree?
80
Is it because the bird is pregnant?
81
Does a bird change homes or does it always have the same home?
82
I don't know.
83
But yeah,
84
it made me think and I thought I need to try to be more present and appreciate the nature around me.
85
Okay, well, that's the end of my podcast this week.
86
I hope you found it useful and I hope you have a lovely week.
87
Leave a comment, I love reading them.

Bye!

この動画で話す練習をする理由は？
「English Dream Podcast」のエピソード4は、自己表現を向上させるための素晴らしい素材です。この動画では、スピーキングの文脈を理解しながら、自分の感情や考えを共有することの大切さについて語られています。ポジティブな瞬間やネガティブな瞬間、そして希望を持った出来事を話すことで、リスナーは自分の経験を振り返りながら、自信を持って英語でコミュニケーションをとれるようになります。特に、英語シャドーイングを通じて、自分の声を使って練習することで、発音やイントネーションが改善されるでしょう。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ内容です。
文法 & 表現の文脈での分析
- 「I have started to drive again」 - 現在完了形を使い、過去の行動の影響が現在に及んでいることを示しています。
- 「it's been nice because...」 - 現在完了進行形を使い、ある状況が続いており、感情に与える影響を表現しています。
- 「I want to take them for a ride」 - 意図を表す「want to」を使い、未来の計画について話しています。
- 「I didn’t feel very good」 - 過去の経験を否定的に振り返ることで、感情の変化を明確にしています。
これらの表現を理解し、積極的に使うことで、より自分の気持ちを効果的に伝えられるようになります。
一般的な発音の罠
- 「confident」 - この単語は、特に母音の発音が難しいかもしれません。正しい音を出す練習が必要です。
- 「negative」 - 'e' の発音が弱くなりがちです。明確に発音することで、意味が伝わりやすくなります。
- 「hopeful」 - 言葉のリズムに注意が必要です。この単語は、強勢がどの部分にあるかが重要です。
これらの発音を克服するためには、英語スピーキング練習を通じて繰り返し練習することが大切です。英語シャドーイングのテクニックを使えば、リスニングとスピーキングのスキルを同時に向上させることが可能です。
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。
