レッスンを作成中...
1
Sometimes when we converse with a foreigner, a person from another country,
2
we happen to talk about some famous people who represent our cultures.
3
By the way, the verb to converse means to have a conversation or to engage in a conversation.
4
In this video, I'm going to show you five ways
5
that can help you speak about famous people and express your respect for them in an English conversation.
6
They're my five favorite choices.
7
So let's get straight into them, shall we?
8
When I was younger, I emulated this actress.
9
To emulate means to copy someone because you like them very much, you admire them and you think they're great.
10
I'm going to go ahead
11
and get some more of the great actresses of the 19th century and
12
that was sort of what I emulated what I wanted to
13
be I wanted to be Sarah Bernhardt I wanted to be Eleanor Adduza
14
when I started work we can say I emulated this person or my brother emulated his character.
15
My sister emulated her style and manners.
16
There's even an expression to emulate success, which means to repeat someone's success.
17
I mean, Joni Cash, who can emulate his success?
18
I think nobody can emulate his success.
19
Are you nuts about the Rolling Stones?
20
I can't get enough of them too.
21
If you can't get enough of somebody, it means you will never be tired of them and you want more of them.
22
I can't get enough of Robert De Niro.
23
I can't get enough of Emma Thompson.
24
Oh, Adele, she's one of a kind.
25
If you describe someone as one of a kind, you mean they're very different and there's nobody like them.
26
She will take you to places in your life that you've never been to before.
27
She's just...
28
Just one of a kind.
29
One of them...
30
She's such a prominent writer isn't she?
31
He's such a prominent architect, isn't he?
32
Prominent means very famous and important.
33
This last one is more of an academic way of describing a famous person.
34
You can use it in your IELTS test or even in a business conversation.
35
As part of the phrase I'm going to use the word to withstand
36
which alone means to be strong enough so that nothing can harm, destroy or damage you.
37
I think that the longer that you want something and don't get it but are able to
38
to withstand that kind of rejection.
39
Peter O'Toole.
40
I've seen many of his films.
41
There's no doubt they will withstand the test of time.

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。
