Good evening!

This is Sarah from Premium Hotel.

How can I help you?

Hello.
14
I would like to make a reservation.
15
May I have your name please?
16
Please call me Smith Anderson. Is that S-M-I-T-H-A-N-D-E-R-S-O-N?
17
Exactly.
18
Thank you.
19
May I ask when you will stay at our hotel?
20
I would like to stay there from the 15th to 18th of November.
21
Luckily, we have a lot of vacancies for you.
22
What type of room would you like to stay in?
23
I'm going on a business trip with a partner, so I would like to book a double room with two beds.
24
And I would like to know the price for each night.
25
We have two options for you.
26
The first double room is on the third floor.
27
The price is only $100 per night, but it doesn't have a balcony.
28
The second option is a double room on the 10th floor with the city view, so you can enjoy the scenery perfectly from the balcony.
29
However, the price is around $300 per night, sir.
30
Well, as I said earlier, I'm not going on a vacation, so I'd rather go with the former.
31
Alright, noted.
32
Is there anything else you want to know about our service and facilities?
33
Is the hotel near any restaurants or convenience stores?
34
We may want to have meals near or at the hotel.
35
Don't worry, there's a restaurant in our hotel which served meals from 8 a.m to 10 p.m.
36
Great.
37
So, does your hotel have car rental services?
38
Unfortunately, we don't provide that kind of service, sir. Is that so?
39
How about dry cleaning?
40
I have some clothes that cannot be machine washed.
41
We do offer laundry and valet service.
42
When you check in at the counter, we will walk you to the laundry area.
43
That's great.
44
But I think that's all I want to know.
45
Thank you Mr. Anderson.
46
Your reservation has been made for a double room from November 15th to 18th.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、日常会話を通じて英語のリスニングスキルを向上させるための練習を行います。特に、電話での予約に関する会話を聞き取り、その内容に基づいて穴埋め問題や選択問題に挑戦します。これにより、リスニング能力を高めるだけでなく、同時に英語のフレーズや表現も学ぶ機会を提供します。この練習を通じて、実際の会話におけるスピードやイントネーションを理解し、自信を持って英語を話せるようになることが目的です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- 予約する (make a reservation)
- 名前は何ですか？ (May I have your name please?)
- 料金 (price)
- 空き部屋 (vacancies)
- ダブルルーム (double room)
- バルコニー (balcony)
- 洗濯サービス (laundry service)
- チェックイン (check-in)
練習のコツ
このビデオでは、スピーカーの自然なスピードとトーンで会話が行われています。英語のシャドーイングを行う際は、まずは何度か聞いてから、少しずつスピーカーの声に合わせて声を出してみましょう。特に、電話の会話はリズムが独特ですので、shadowspeaksを意識しながら、会話の流れをつかむことが重要です。また、IELTS スピーキング対策の一環としても効果的な方法ですので、ゆっくりとしたスピードから始め、徐々に速いスピードに合わせていくと良いでしょう。自宅で練習する際も、このshadowing siteを参考にしながら、英語のフレーズをしっかりと耳に馴染ませることが重要です。
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。
