7
coffee and tea.
8
Yes, coffee and tea are drinks that people enjoy every day.
9
Some people drink them in the morning,
10
some in the afternoon, and some even at night.
11
That's right.
12
And coffee or tea is also a great topic for small talk.
13
For example, you can ask,
14
do you drink coffee or tea?
15
Or you can say, I like drinking coffee in the morning,
16
or I like drinking tea in the evening.
17
Very simple but very useful in everyday English.
18
And it's fun too, because almost everyone has an opinion about coffee or tea.
19
Some people love coffee, some people love tea,
20
and some people love both.
21
Exactly.
22
So in this episode we'll talk about how people drink coffee,
23
how people drink tea, and how to order them at a cafe.
24
We'll also practice easy words and phrases,
25
so you can use them in your daily life.

29
So listeners, here's our first question for you.
30
What do you drink more, coffee or tea?
31
Think about your answer.
32
And now, let's get started with our coffee talk.
33
So, Ben, let's start with coffee.
34
A lot of people around the world drink coffee every day.
35
That's true.
36
Many people say, I need coffee in the morning.
37
Coffee helps them wake up.
38
Yes.
39
Coffee has caffeine.
40
Caffeine gives energy and makes you feel awake.
41
Exactly.
42
And there are many ways to drink coffee.
43
For example, hot coffee or iced coffee.
44
Right.
45
In the winter, I like hot coffee.
46
But in the summer, I enjoy iced coffee.
47
Me too.
48
And there are also different kinds of coffee drinks.
49
For example, black coffee.
50
That's coffee with no milk, no sugar, just coffee.
51
Black coffee is strong.
52
Some people love it, but some people think it's too bitter.
53
Bitter means the taste is a little sharp or strong, not sweet.
54
Yes.
55
Another type is latte.
56
A latte has coffee, hot milk,
57
and a little foam on top.
58
It's soft and creamy.
59
And don't forget cappuccino.
60
A cappuccino is similar to a latte,
61
but it has more foam and sometimes chocolate powder on top.
62
Oh, that's delicious.
63
And many people also like to add sugar or milk to their coffee.
64
Right.
65
Some people say, I like my coffee black,
66
which means no sugar, no milk.
67
And others say, I like coffee with milk and sugar.
68
In Vietnam, people often drink iced coffee with condensed milk.
69
It's very sweet and strong.
70
Yes, I tried that before.
71
It's delicious, but wow, very strong.
72
Yes, it gives you a lot of energy.
73
Coffee is also part of social life.
74
People often meet at a cafe to drink coffee and talk with friends.
75
Exactly.
76
You can say, let's go for coffee,
77
and it means, let's meet and talk.
78
That's a very common expression in English, go for coffee.
79
Yes.
80
You don't only drink coffee at home.
81
You can also order it in a cafe.
82
That's true.
83
And ordering is simple.
84
You can say, one coffee please.
85
Or, can I have an iced latte please?
86
Or, do you have cappuccino?
87
Very useful in daily life.
88
Let's do a quick role play.
89

91
Hello, can I have a hot latte, please?
92

93
Would you like sugar?
94
Yes, one spoon of sugar, please.
95
Here's your latte.
96
Enjoy.
97
See?

122
Many people around the world prefer tea.

Yes, tea is very popular.
124
In fact, some countries drink more tea than coffee.
125
That's true.
126
Tea is usually lighter than coffee.
127
It doesn't have as much caffeine,
128
so it feels softer on the body.
129
Exactly.
130
And there are many kinds of tea.
131
For example, green tea.

133
and a little bit bitter.

153

156

157
In the United States, iced tea is very common.
158
People drink it sweetened or unsweetened.
159
There's also herbal tea.
160
Herbal Herbal tea is made from plants,
161
flowers, or fruit, not from the tea plant.
162
For example, chamomile tea, mint tea, or lemon tea.
163
Herbal tea is good for relaxing.

218
Tea is softer.
219
You can drink tea in the afternoon or evening and still feel calm.
220
Another difference is the taste.
221

222
But tea has many flavors.
223
Green tea is a little bitter,
224
black tea is strong, herbal tea is sweet
225
or fruity that's true tea gives you more variety coffee is usually just coffee
226

242
Exactly.
243
And both are good for conversation.
244
You can say, let's go for coffee,

or would you like some tea?
246

練習のコツ
このレッスンの進行速度やトーンに合わせて、shadowspeak 形式での練習が効果的です。まずは、スクリプトを声に出して読み上げてみましょう。平易なフレーズから始めて、スムーズに声に出すことを意識します。特に英語スピーキング練習では、発音やリズムをマスターすることが大切です。コーヒーや紅茶についての会話を繰り返すことで、自信を持った発話ができるようになります。shadow speak を実践する際は、アナウンサーの声のトーンやスピードを意識してみてください。これにより、英語の発音を良くするために大いに役立つでしょう。また、リスニングをしながら声に出すことで、より高いレベルのコミュニケーション能力が身につきます。繰り返しの練習が効果を発揮するので、shadowspeaks を通じて自分自身を表現する機会を増やしていきましょう。
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。
