Hello, welcome to another episode of Elephant English Podcast.
2
In today's video, we're going to be following some speaking exam questions about clothing and fashion,
3
and I'm going to be answering these questions so that it can help you practice for your speaking exam.
4
The first question is, do you like shoes?
5
No, I'm not really keen on shoes.
6
When I have to buy a pair of shoes then I do, but it's not something that I get excited about buying.
7
The next question is, how often do you buy shoes?
8
Well, I don't really buy shoes often because my favourite type of shoes are Doc Martins.
9
They are military style boots and they are known for being quite long lasting
10
so that means that I don't have to buy a pair of boots every year.
11
The ones that I have at the minute have lasted me 5 years
12
so that's the reason why I don't buy boots often and
13
when it comes to sandals and summer shoes I don't really use them
14
that much so they don't wear down quickly so I might have to buy them every two years.
15
The next question is do you prefer comfortable or good looking shoes?
16
I prefer wearing comfortable shoes because I'm on my feet most of the day
17
and I don't really like wearing high heels and those types of shoes.
18
I think that they're really uncomfortable and it's not worth it especially
19
because you wear high heels when you're going to an event like a wedding
20
and you have to walk around a lot and spend a lot of time standing up and when you get home
21
your feet really hurt.
22
The next question is have you ever bought shoes online?
23
Yes I have bought shoes online but I knew what shoe size to get for that specific brand.
24
I wouldn't really recommend buying shoes online
25
if you have never bought a pair of shoes of
26
that brand but
27
if you have already had three pairs of the similar type
28
of shoe then it's not a big deal to buy them online
29
because you know what your shoe size is going to be.
30
Also if you do have any problems then you can always send the shoes back.
31
I have never had to do that but I know
32
that some of my friends have done and they haven't had any issues with it at all.
33
In the next part I have to describe a dress or shirt that I wore for a special occasion.
34
I have to mention what it is like, when and where I bought it,
35
what special occasion I wore it for and I have to explain how it made you feel wearing it.
36
Well, one of the nicest outfits that I have ever worn was a baby pink dress that I wore to a wedding.
37
It was quite a simple pink dress but it came with a very nice silver belt and it looked really nice on.
38
I wore some silver jewellery on that day as well so it went with the belt and it looked really pretty.
39
I bought it at a small shop in my city.
40
It is one of those shops where you walk in
41
and there's only one of each style and colour
42
so it's quite good because you know that
43
when you're gonna go to the wedding there isn't going to be someone with the same dress as you.
44
Well they might have bought it in another shop but it would be very unlucky if that happened.
45
I didn't want to go to the wedding and see
46
that somebody was wearing the exact same dress
47
because it's a bit awkward for you and for them and it looks quite funny in the photos.
48
When I was wearing that dress I felt quite pretty and special.
49
It's nice when you go to a wedding and you dress up
50
and put makeup on because you're not wearing the same clothes
51
that you do every day when you go to work and it makes you feel special.
52
The next question is what do you think the clothes we wear say about to us?
53
Well I think that the clothes that we wear reflect our personality.
54
I was having a conversation about this with my mum the other day
55
because she was saying that back in the 80s
56
if you liked a certain type of music then you would wear a certain type of clothing
57
so in the playground at school for example you would know
58
what type of music a group of children listened to
59
because of the clothes that they were wearing and my mum was saying that it doesn't really happen nowadays days.
60
I think that it doesn't happen so much
61
but you still have groups of teenagers who have more of a gothic style
62
and others who wear more pastel colours but it is true that we don't really see that many different styles as before.
63
I still think that it does reflect your personality a little bit
64
because some people wear more informal clothing whereas others wear more formal clothing
65
and more jewelry and things like that you mustn't judge anybody by the clothes
66
that they're wearing but it is true that clothes do reflect a little bit of our personality The next question is,
67
do you think that brand names are very important for clothes sales?
68
Yes, I do.
69
At the moment, I would say that the most popular brands are Nike and Adidas.
70
At least for young people.
71
I think that especially with teenagers when they see
72
that their friends are wearing a particular brand then they are going to copy their friends
73
because they feel like they might be left out if they don't wear it.
74
especially now with social media it seems that fashions spread quite quickly
75
because you can see what the influencers are wearing
76
and suddenly everybody is wearing what they are
77
and this is good for brands really because they can sponsor the influencers on instagram or youtube or tiktok
78
and then all of the teenagers or young people are going to copy what they're wearing.
79
So this is why I think that brand names are very important for clothes sales.
80
The next question is, why do some people like to go clothes shopping with friends?
81
I think that when you're young,
82
you like to go clothes shopping with friends because normally you have quite a similar style to them.
83
Your parents normally drop you off at the shopping centre
84
and you spend two hours just looking around the shops and you go for an ice cream or go to the cinema.
85
So I think it's just a fun thing to do on a Friday evening
86
or Saturday evening with friends because at that age the majority of people like doing that.
87
So it's just something to do.
88
Especially when you're that age because everybody seems to be doing the same thing and when you go to the shopping centre,
89
at least in England, you see people from your school or from your class and it's a social event.
90
The next question is how do you think fashion will change in the future?
91
I'm not really sure how fashion will change in the future.
92
If you think about it fashion repeats itself.
93
Sometimes Sometimes I see a nice blouse or some nice trousers and say to my mum, oh look at this new style.
94
And she says, no that isn't a new style, I used to wear that when I was 25 for example.
95
So what might happen is that we just continue reusing the same styles but with just small variations.
96
really if you think about it it would be good
97
if fashion doesn't change much especially if we think about protecting the planet
98
because when there are more fashion trends then people tend to buy those fashion items
99
and they're only in fashion for about a year or two
100
so when that trend is finished then they have to buy new clothing and that isn't good for the planet at all.
101
So maybe fashion will become more timeless and that way we wouldn't have to keep buying so many clothes.
102
Although when I think about it I don't think that will happen because then the companies wouldn't sell so many clothes.
103
So in today's video we have talked about clothing and fashion.

ステップバイステップのシャドーイングガイド

英語シャドーイング(shadow speech)を効果的に行うための方法です。まず、動画を1回聴き、全体的な内容を理解します。次に、1文ずつ pause を入れながら、話者の発音、イントネーション、リズムを真似て繰り返します。特に「long lasting」のような連続した発音や「it's not worth it」のような省略形の発音に注意しましょう。3回ほど同じ文をシャドーイングした後、スクリプトを見ながら自分で話してみます。最後に、動画なしで回答を再現し、自然な流れを確認します。この練習は英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、スピーキングの流暢さも向上させます。英語スピーキング練習に最適な方法です。

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。
