シャドーイング練習: I Bought Every Walmart Limited Edition Product - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

レッスンを作成中...
1
Hey, this is every single limited edition product currently at Walmart.
2
And I bought them all.
3
Why?
4
I don't know.
5
I just kind of wanted to know which one's the best.
6
So let's get started.
7
Starting with birthday cake Oreos.
8
Someone needs to correct me if I'm wrong here, but I just swear I've seen these before.
9
Maybe there's just starting to be too many Oreo flavors for me to keep track of, but I swear I've seen these before.
10
But I will say they sound incredible.
11
So I'm going to go ahead and eat one.
12
All right, they're a little bit, uh, we'll do a little classic opener up.
13
You know, a little funfetti on a vanilla cookie.
14
Nothing to complain about.
15
Yeah, I'm liking the looks of this.
16
I do wish I had some milk to dip it in, but I'm out.
17
Probably should have thought about that before I started this, but it's okay.
18
I mean, these look fire.
19
Cheers.
20
Ow, I just cut the roof of my mouth.
21
Oh, man.
22
Starting off hot.
23
Dang.
24
Hold up.
25
These are fire.
26
I don't like birthday cake flavor that much.
27
I did not expect these to be this good.
28
All right, well, uh, these are incredible.
29
To be honest, I'm gonna give these things like an 8.1.
30
So you know what that means?
31
They take the lead.
32
Next up, we have a coastal coconut limited edition scented candle.
33
I didn't realize we were collecting candles these days, but apparently limited edition candles are a thing.
34
Now, I will be honest, uh, already I think the Oreos are gonna be tough to beat.
35
But hey, let's give this thing a sniff, shall we?
36
Ooh.
37
Wait a minute.
38
Oh, that is nice.
39
We gotta light this thing.
40
Let's light it up.
41
I am not gonna lie to you.
42
If it could light, that'd be great.
43
There we go.
44
Oh, yeah.
45
I just blew it out from laughing.
46
I gotta be honest.
47
I didn't really expect a candle to be, you know, one of my favorite items here, but this thing smells incredible.
48
Yeah, this thing smells great.
49
That's pretty much all I gotta say.
50
I'm straight up giving this thing an 8.2.
51
Sorry, Oreos.
52
You've already been dethroned.
53
They take the lead.
54
I'm also gonna go ahead and just kind of slide it over there.
55
Make the room smell nice.
56
Next up, we have Star Wars Goldfish.
57
This is another one I swear I've seen before.
58
Are we making up the whole limited edition thing?
59
Because it kind of feels like it.
60
But an out of this world snack.
61
That was clever.
62
I'll give you that one.
63
I think they're just cheddar goldfish.
64
So I imagine they're gonna be the exact same as normal goldfish.
65
Just with different fun shapes.
66
Which I mean, I guess I'm down with.
67
What do we have?
68
Sure.
69
Let's try the Stormtrooper.
70
Man, I haven't eaten a regular goldfish in years.
71
Now it's all about the flavor blasted ones.
72
No one eats regular goldfish, but I did forget how good they were.
73
And I would say they hit different, but it's a Stormtrooper.
74
They can't hit anything, if you know you know.
75
6.8.
76
Bet you didn't expect this one.
77
It is a limited edition reserve collection deodorant.
78
What happened to society that made us go, Let's make limited edition deodorant.
79
People will love it.
80
You can't collect everything.
81
Some things you just gotta use.
82
Well, um, apple cider and bourbon.
83
That actually does sound fire.
84
I'm not gonna lie.
85
Well, isn't there supposed to be like a protective cover on this thing?
86
Am I tripping?
87
They normally have some sort of thing that you pull off, right?
88
Should I not use this?
89
I mean, it doesn't look like it's been used.
90
That's fine.
91
Get a little whiff.
92
Oh, wow.
93
I might take back what I said.
94
Maybe we should make limited edition sense.
95
Oh my gosh.
96
This might be my favorite deodorant I've ever smelled.
97
I'm not even kidding.
98
Why is this incredible?
99
Wait, screw limited edition.
100
Can we bring this to a real thing?
101
I gotta put it on.
102
Oh, that is magical.
103
That is nothing short of magical.
104
Um, I can't believe I'm saying this, but, uh, limited edition deodorant.
105
I'm giving this an 8.8.
106
It takes the lead.
107
That brings us to limited edition Harry Potter fudge strips.
108
Butterbeer flavored.
109
I'm gonna make a confession here that could get about 8.7% of you, uh, to no longer like me.
110
Never read or watched Harry Potter.
111
I'm sorry, I know, but, hey, if it tastes good, it tastes good.
112
It's not gonna affect the score.
113
Now, I have, however, gone to Disney World, and one of them has Harry Potter theme and they have a butterbeer that you can buy.
114
And I gotta be honest, it's pretty good.
115
It actually is fire.
116
Let's see how Keebler did making the butterbeer flavor.
117
Cheers.
118
Oh, this has a weird scent.
119
I mean, they're okay, I guess.
120
4.3.
121
Now, this is what I'm excited for.
122
Carrot Cake Hostess Mini Donuts.
123
And see, this is a sensible limited edition product.
124
It's for Easter, right?
125
Springtime, carrots.
126
Like, this makes sense.
127
Some of the things that they make, I just, I don't get.
128
Like, why are there limited edition bathroom scents?
129
I know we haven't got there yet, but why does this exist?
130
These, this could be the pinnacle.
131
This could be the pinnacle.
132
This could, I will predict it right now.
133
10 bucks, this wins the video.
134
And I'll be honest, if it doesn't win, it doesn't win.
135
But I'll put 10 bucks on it.
136
Comment, I accept the bet in the comments.
137
And if I'm wrong and they don't win, I'll send one of you a $25 Walmart gift card.
138
I'm not kidding.
139
Make the comment.
140
But I know I'm gonna be right.
141
And the reason I know that is because it's Hostess.
142
I mean, what are we doing?
143
These things, I don't know if you guys are a fan of the good old powdered donut version of these.
144
The original powdered donut.
145
But I will say the powdered donut version, I'm not kidding you when I say it.
146
If I buy a bag of the powdered donuts, They are gone in a night.
147
There are 15 donuts in this bag.
148
I'm not kidding you.
149
Without fail, they're gone in a night.
150
These probably will be too, but we won't talk about that.
151
Carrot cake.
152
Oh, they don't smell that good.
153
Maybe I regret making the $25 bet now.
154
All I'm saying is, uh, i guess make sure you subscribe so
155
that you can see who wins in the next video
156
because uh i have a feeling i might be wrong about
157
this okay hang on oh hang on now oh man i
158
got the chills i take back what i took back they are indeed worthy of winning the video
159
but we still have quite a few products left so there's a good chance it gets deep thrown.
160
But for now, giving them a 9.1 and they take the lead.
161
That brings us to Febreze Georgia Peach Orchard.
162
I mean, yeah, we're back in no man's land.
163
Why are we making limited edition Febreze?
164
Just make a peach flavor.
165
Fla- scent.
166
I'm not spraying this stuff directly into my mouth.
167
Just make a peach flavor.
168
It's not, that's not even a weird thing to to do.
169
Like, that is like a normal thing.
170
Why is this limited edition?
171
Well, I guess, I mean, who knows?
172
Maybe I'm wrong.
173
Maybe it's incredible.
174
I mean, let's just try it out.
175
I have a bone to pick though here with Walmart delivery.
176
Uh, cause I, I'm too lazy and I got all this delivered from Walmart.
177
I know, I know.
178
I should probably be ashamed of that, but they were out of the one pack that I wanted.
179
So instead of asking me or, you know, canceling the item,
180
they just automatically made it the two-pack and charged me double what I was expecting to get charged.
181
How are you not going to at least check with me first?
182
That just doesn't even seem right.
183
All right, well, I guess let's try the Febreze.
184
So I guess hopefully it smells good because now I have to use two of these. That was a lot.
185
Oh, crap.
186
Yep, that smells like I'm giving away a $25 gift card.
187
Oh my, that is incredible.
188
Uh, take back what I said.
189
Actually, no, I don't.
190
Make this a normal flavor.
191
Screw limited edition.
192
Just make it a normal scent.
193
Because this is incredible.
194
You tell me, does it not smell like a 9.4?
195
Hold up, I have an idea.
196
Kids do not try this at home.
197
Will this put the candle out?
198
Or is it just going to make the flame a flamethrower?
199
Oh wow, yep, it put it out.
200
Wait, does that make coconut peach?
201
Oh, okay, coconut and peach, that smells good.
202
Oh, almost forgot.
203
They take the lead.
204
All right, next up, chocolate strawberry Cheerios.
205
I'm not against this.
206
What I am against is the fact that I don't have any milk.
207
I guess we're just gonna eat it straight.
208
I think that's not Not that weird of a thing to do with cereal though.
209
I mean, a lot of people eat it dry.
210
Crack this baby open.
211
All right.
212
I like the fun colors, reminiscent of a strawberry a good touch now we're talking
213
so uh these things are amazing unfortunately i don't think they're as good as the febreze
214
but they are great i'm gonna give them 8.3 all right
215
this one i don't know about orange cream pop cupcakes
216
and we're back in hostess land now the reason i don't
217
know about this one is i well this is a personal thing i just don't really I like orange popsicles.
218
Yeah, that's another 8.7% gone.
219
But I just, I can't make it up.
220
I just, they're not that great.
221
I don't know.
222
I feel like it actually could have more potential not being an ice cream
223
and instead being a baked good with some cream inside it.
224
Maybe I'm wrong, though.
225
Let's give them a shot.
226
Rack these babies open.
227
Oh, it'll smell really orangey.
228
Um, yeah, I mean, maybe I should spray.
229
I was gonna say put some Febreze on it, But I don't think that's a good idea.
230
Let's try it.
231
What is this?
232
Did I get it done?
233
Or is that the whole package?
234
You see this?
235
You see how they're supposed to be cream filled?
236
Yeah.
237
Okay.
238
See, that one has cream in it.
239
What?
240
I got a Hostess cupcake with no cream in it.
241
Oh yeah, that was way better.
242
Oh man.
243
Oh man, it's hard to be mad now.
244
I'm not gonna lie.
245
I'm sorry, hostess, but where is the quality control?
246
I should not be receiving a cupcake with no filling if that's how it's advertised.
247
In fact, that's kind of the whole point.
248
It's an orange cream pop.
249
So even though it tastes delicious when it's made right, if this is a game of chance, I don't want to spend my hard-earned money.
250
2.4.
251
All right, now on to the weirdest one of them all.
252
Who in the boardroom said, Hey, let's make limited edition bathroom southern lilac morning scented pods.
253
Now that is an idea that most people would probably say why to.
254
Not Febreze.
255
Febreze said, let's just do it.
256
Which I can respect, but they gotta smell good.
257
I haven't smelled these things yet.
258
So I guess let's just give them a sniff and maybe I'll just end up putting them in my bathroom.
259
Oh, there it is.
260
Oh, okay.
261
I mean, it's kind of nice.
262
That smell smells familiar.
263
I'm 99% sure this is like the classic smell in every public restroom.
264
Oh yeah, no, for sure.
265
They're definitely using this in public restrooms.
266
I've smelled this smell a dozen, hundreds of times, actually.
267
I won't, I'm not gonna lie.
268
Hundreds of times.
269
Yeah, it smells like a classic public restroom.
270
Which isn't awful, but I don't want my home smelling like that.
271
5.2.
272
I can't believe I'm saying this, even though this Febreze product stunk.
273
Febreze air freshener has somehow won the video.
274
Go figure.
275
I don't even...
276
Oh, in case you wanted a second one.
277
I don't even know exactly what to say about that.
278
I don't know if I should feel proud or disappointed.
279
Do better, Walmart.

このビデオで会話を練習する理由

このビデオは、Walmartの限定商品のレビューを通じて、英語を学ぶ機会を提供します。特に「限定版」や「新商品」の探求を通じて、日常的な会話や商品に関する表現を学ぶことができるのが魅力です。商品の味わいや香りについての感想を述べることで、実際の生活で役立つ言語スキルを向上させることができます。このようなビデオを使ったIELTS スピーキング対策は、実際の話し合いのシチュエーションを模倣するのに最適です。

文法と表現の文脈

話し手の中で使われている重要な構文や表現をいくつか見てみましょう。

  • "I just kind of wanted to know..." - これは意図を示す表現で、自然に話すための良い例です。
  • "I’m going to go ahead and eat one." - 未来形を用いた行動の決定を表しています。
  • "These look fire." - 異なる表現を使って感情や評価を伝える、スラング的な使い方の一例です。
  • "I didn’t really expect..." - 驚きや予想外の結果について述べる際に役立つ表現です。

一般的な発音の罠

このビデオには、学習者が注意すべきいくつかの発音のトラップがあります。以下に示すように、特に注意深く練習してみてください。

  • "Birthday cake Oreos" - 英語では「オレオ」の発音が難しい場合があります。特に母音部分に注意しましょう。
  • "Limited edition" - 速いスピードで話されると、言葉が結合してしまい、聞き取るのが難しくなります。
  • "Incredible" - アクセントの位置を意識することが発音の明瞭さにつながります。

これらの発音を練習することで、より自然な英語スピーキング練習ができるようになります。YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、様々なビデオを見ながら繰り返すことで効果的にスキルを高めていきましょう。

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。
