レッスンを作成中...
1
Welcome to English in a Minute.
2
A plug provides electricity.
3
So what happens when you pull the plug?
4
My first annual pickleball celebration party was way over budget.
5
Well, Dan, maybe you don't need a 10-piece jazz band.
6
And the snake handler alone costs $1,000.
7
I love snakes.
8
Maybe I just pull the plug on this whole thing.
9
Dan, you just need to pull the plug on the $500 chocolate fountain?
10
Dan.
11
Pulling the plug just means to put an end to a plan or activity.
12
If I were Dan, I'd pull the plug on the snake handler, not the chocolate fountain.
13
And that's English in a Minute.

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。
