1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, we're going to look at a short back-and-forth conversation about going out to eat.
4
This is similar to what you might see on the IELTS exam.
5
Let's have a look.
6
How often do you eat out?
7
Who do you go with?
8
I often go out to eat on weekends when I hang out with my friends.
9
So the first thing to note here is that go out to eat is just one way to say it.
10
You could also say eat out.
11
Personally, I prefer go out to eat, but you'll probably hear both.
12
In the phrase do you, the you is not usually stressed.
13
How often do you?
14
How often do you?
15
How often do you?
16
Who do you go with?
17
Who do you?
18
Who do you go with?
19
In the same way, the to in to eat.
20
Go out to eat.
21
Go out to eat. To.
22
That's also not stressed as well.
23
Go out to eat.
24
What type of food do you enjoy eating?
25
Western or Asian?
26
I'm interested in Asian food.
27
Western food is not my thing.
28
So here, of.
29
What type of food?
30
The F in of and the F in food connect.
31
What type of food?
32
It sounds like what type of food, but the F is really actually a little longer.
33
What type of food? Of food.
34
In the answer, because we're comparing Asian food and Western food, we want to stress Asian and Western.
35
I'm interested in Asian food.
36
Western food is not my thing.
37
I'm interested in Asian food.
38
Western food is not my thing.
39
Again, these small words or, is, in, those all get de-stressed.
40
Western erasian, erasian, interested in asian,
41
interested in, right there it becomes interested in, interested in asian food.
42
Western food is not, is not, Western food is not my thing.
43
All those words get de-stressed.
44
How much do you usually pay when you go out?
45
It's not very expensive.
46
Just around five dollars for each meal.
47
So here I said go out because the context of the conversation
48
means I don't need to use the long phrase go out to eat.
49
I can just shorten that to go out and everyone will understand what I'm saying.
50
The combination do you usually can be pretty hard to say because of the all linking together.
51
But when we say it quickly, the do and you change their vowels.
52
They become de-stressed.
53
Do you usually?
54
Do you usually?
55
There's two ı.
56
Do you usually?
57
How much do you usually?
58
How much do you usually?
59
How much do you usually pay?
60
The answer here, it's not very expensive.
61
We want to de-stress it's and stress not.
62
It's not very expensive.
63
So we link it's together and it just becomes it's.
64
It's not very expensive.
65
It's not very expensive.
66
Just around $5 for each meal.
67
Now, why did I say dollars instead of bucks, which is the slang word for dollars, because in this context, it's a little bit relaxed speech,
68
but it's not quite relaxed enough to use slang.
69
Five dollars.
70
That's more formal than saying bucks, but it's more appropriate when you're taking an English test.
71
Five dollars for each meal.
72
We want to link for each, and we want to reduce the vowel in four. For each.
73
Five dollars for each meal.
74
for each meal.
75
Do you enjoy spicy food?
76
Yes, I do.
77
Especially on cold days.
78
Again, do you.
79
We've reduced the vowels in do you, because the stress of the sentence is on enjoy spicy food.
80
Do you enjoy?
81
Do you enjoy spicy food?
82
Do you enjoy spicy food?
83
Yes, I do.
84
Especially on cold days.
85
Now that word on is de-stressed on cold days and the N and the K in cold link together
86
especially on cold days on cold days on cold days
87
It's kind of like I'm saying on cold days It's not quite so strong,
88
but the tongue is further back to get ready for the K sound Especially on cold days.
89
How often do you eat out?
90
Who do you go with?
91
I often go out to eat on weekends when I hang out with my friends.
92
What type of food do you enjoy eating?
93
Western or Asian?
94
I'm interested in Asian food.
95
Western food is not my thing.
96
How much do you usually pay when you go out?
97
It's not very expensive.
98
Just around $5 for each meal.
99
Do you enjoy spicy food?
100
Yes, I do.
101
Especially on cold days.

練習のコツ

このビデオのリズムとトーンに合わせて練習するためには、shadow speechのテクニックを活用しましょう。最初に、発話内容をしっかりと聞き、次にその内容を後になぞるように声に出してみてください。特に「how often」や「who do you go with」などの短いフレーズは、発音を強調しない部分が多いので、英語の発音を良くするためにはデストレスの仕方に注意しましょう。これにより、会話の自然な流れをつかむことができます。

また、shadowspeaksの練習を通じて、英語スピーキング練習を行う際の自信を高めることができます。自分の発音やイントネーションを録音し、オリジナルの会話と比較することで、さらなる改善点を見つけ出してください。特に、短縮形や滑らかな連結に焦点を当てることで、IELTS スピーキング対策としても効果的です。

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。
