Hello everyone, welcome to Public Speaking.
2
Today's first presenter is Ranjit, and I would ask everyone to give him their full attention.
3
Chantal, could you dim the lights please?
4
The British imposed a lot of unpopular taxes on the American colonists and didn't let them elect representatives to the British government.
5
In retaliation, the Americans started to boycott British goods.
6
In 1773, Americans in Massachusetts dumped a shipload of British tea into Boston Harbor.
7
This became known as the Boston Tea Party.
8
As punishment, the British imposed laws known as the Intolerable Acts,
9
including the Quartering act which made Americans let British soldiers live in their homes.
10
Some of the American colonies created a declaration of rights and grievances, which they sent to Britain,
11
but the British just sent soldiers to the colonies to put down any rebellion.
12
This led to the first battles of the revolution at Lexington and Concord.
13
Thank you, Ranjit.
14
I know it's very hard to give a presentation in front of the entire class.
15
Now, would anyone like to offer Ranjit constructive feedback about his presentation?
16
Any tips for what he might do differently next time?
17
For example, were you all able to hear what Ranjit was saying?
18
Not really.
19
He needs to speak louder and face the audience.
20
Yes.
21
Great suggestion.
22
Anyone else?
23
He was reading from his paper, so it didn't feel like he was really talking to us, you know?
24
Exactly.
25
It's important when you're speaking to look up every sentence or two and make eye contact with someone in the audience.
26
Anything else that Ranjit could do to appear more relaxed and feel more confident?
27
He could smile more?
28
Yes.
29
Smiling makes us feel relaxed.
30
Oh, and make sure your phone is off before you speak next time.
31
I do have one more suggestion.
32
To connect with listeners, it's a great idea to use a personal story or experience as an example.
33
Can you try that next time?
34
I think so, yes.
35
Next week, my presentation will be about about the causes and effects of stress.
36
We look forward to hearing it.
37
Ranjit is first up again today, and I look forward to his new presentation.
38
Jorge, could you dim the lights, please?
39
Good morning.
40
Today I'd like to talk about the causes and effects of stress and how to cope with stress.
41
Stress has many causes, including work or school,
42
life events, changes, or unrealistic expectations of yourself.
43
Some effects of stress include headaches, trouble sleeping, depression, or lack of concentration.
44
I know how hard it can be to deal with stress.
45
Last year I started working after school to save for college, but I didn't have time to do homework and my grades went down.
46
I had trouble sleeping, I only ate junk food, and I stopped hanging out with my friends.
47
Fortunately, I was able to talk with a school counselor to manage my stress.
48
She suggested that I reduce my hours at my job, eat healthy foods, and get some exercise.
49
So I literally started walking home from school and bringing my lunch.
50
I also asked my teachers for extra help.
51
Now I feel better.
52
It's important to recognize when you're stressed and to ask for help.
53
Thank you.
54
Great work, Ranjit.
55
I want you all to reflect on how much stronger today's his presentation was.
56
Ranjit looked us in the eyes, he spoke clearly, he smiled at us,
57
and he used a personal anecdote to help us feel more connected to him.
58
Well done.
59
Thank you, sir.
60
Thank you.
プレゼンテーションの成功例と失敗例：リアルな場面
この動画では、ランジットさんが最初のプレゼンテーションで「聞こえにくい」「原稿を読み続ける」などの課題を抱え、フィードバックを受けて次のプレゼンテーションで「目を合わせる」「明るく話す」「個人の体験を共有する」などの改善点を実践し、大きな進歩を見せる様子が描かれています。英語でのプレゼンテーションはIELTS スピーキング対策や日常のコミュニケーションでも重要なスキルですが、このようなリアルな場面を通して、実践的なヒントを学ぶことができます。
覚えておきたい便利なフレーズとコロケーション
- constructive feedback：建設的なフィードバック。「次回のためのconstructive feedbackをもらう」のように使います。
- make eye contact：目を合わせる。プレゼンテーションや会話で「聴衆とmake eye contactする」と信頼感が増します。
- personal anecdote：個人の逸話。「personal anecdoteを使う」と話が親しみやすくなり、聴衆とのつながりが深まります。
- cope with stress：ストレスに対処する。「daily lifeでcope with stressする方法」などのように使います。
- put down a rebellion：反乱を鎮圧する。歴史的な出来事を説明する際に便利なフレーズです。
あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ！
英語シャドーイングは、発音やリズム、イントネーションを磨くのに最適な方法です。さっそく動画で英語学習を始めましょう！ランジットさんの2回目のプレゼンテーション部分を選び、以下のように練習してみてください。
1. 動画を1回聴いて、全体の流れを把握します。
2. 1文ずつ止めながら、すぐに後に続けて話します（shadowspeak）。
3. 特に「I know how hard it can be...」「Fortunately, I was able to...」などの表現に注目し、リズムを真似ます。
この練習を5回繰り返すと、自然な発音と流暢さが向上するはずです。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つこの方法を、日々の練習に取り入れてみてください！
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。
