レッスンを作成中...
1
While cat sitting for my neighbors, I let their indoor cat out the front door, and by midnight I was sure I had gotten her killed.
2
The Arnolds had left me a note on the kitchen counter written in bold letters.
3
Astrid has never been outside, and she hates it.
4
Do not open the front door without checking where she is first.
5
I read the note three times, then my delivery driver showed up with the pizza I ordered.
6
I pulled the door open without looking down, and Astrid went out between his legs,
7
like she had been waiting her whole life for that exact moment. and went after her.
8
She ran under a row of hedges along the side of the house.
9
I got down on my stomach and reached in.
10
She wasn't there.
11
I checked under the deck and behind the trash cans.
12
I knocked on a door down the block.
13
A guy in a hoodie pulled out his phone before I finished asking and showed me a video from his porch camera.
14
A coyote was walking down the street with something limp in its mouth.
15
They come through almost every night now.
16
They ate two cats on this block last month.
17
He tapped my shoulder.
18
I'd start looking now if I were you.
19
I went back to the Arnold's house as
20
I put a bowl of tuna on the back patio
21
and turned off the kitchen lights so I could watch the yard from the window.
22
Around 10, I heard a howl somewhere past the back fence, then another one answering it from a different direction.
23
Around 10 .30, I saw something move at the edge of the yard.
24
It was too big to be a cat.
25
I flipped the porch light on, and whatever it was was gone.
26
The tuna bowl was on its side and empty.
27
I refilled it and went back to the window.
28
At 11, I heard a rustle in the bushes and ran outside with a stick I had been gripping all night.
29
next to the bowl.
30
I waved the stick at it until it walked off and then somewhere down the block, a cat screamed.
31
I ran out into the street holding the stick like an idiot.
32
There was nothing there, no cat, no coyote, no movement under any of the cars.
33
I walked back to the patio and called for Astrid until my throat hurt. By 12, I was at the kitchen table writing the apology text I
34
was going to send the Arnolds telling them how Astrid might have gotten eaten by coyotes.
35
Then all of a sudden, scratching.
36
I went to the door and there was Astrid sitting on the mat looking up at me.
37
Her paws were wet from the grass.
38
She walked past me into the kitchen and went straight to her food bowl.
39
I remembered the note.
40
She has never been outside and she hates it.
41
She had spent the whole night out there hating it, hiding from things that wanted to eat her and then she had come home on her own.
42
I deleted the text, picked up the pizza box from the porch and threw it in the trash.
43
The Arnold's pulled in at nine on the dot.
44
Mrs. Arnold got out of the car and asked how the weekend had fine.
45
She handed me $80 in cash.
46
I took it and walked out.
47
Somewhere past the fence a coyote howled, and I walked faster than I needed to.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオは、実際の状況での会話を通して英語力を向上させる絶好の機会を提供します。特に、猫の世話をしている間に発生した予期せぬ出来事を描写しているため、家族や友人との実際の対話と似たシチュエーションが特長です。shadow speakを活用して、キャラクターの感情や緊張感を模倣しながら練習することで、実践的なコミュニケーションスキルを養うことができます。
文法と表現の文脈
- 過去形の使用: 「I let their indoor cat out the front door」という文では、過去に起こった出来事が語られています。特に、過去形を使うことで、出来事の詳細を描写することができ、恐れや緊張感を強調することができます。
- 命令文: 「Do not open the front door without checking where she is first」といった命令文は、注意を引くために有効です。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ち、情報伝達の明確さを向上させる効果があります。
- 副詞の活用: 「She ran under a row of hedges along the side of the house」では、副詞を用いて動作の詳細を説明しています。場所や方法を具体的に示すことで、文がより興味深くなります。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオには、発音の際に注意が必要な単語やフレーズがいくつかあります。例えば、「coyote」という単語は、地域によって発音が異なるため、不安を感じるかもしれません。また、「tuna」や「pizza」のような日常的な単語も、英語学習者にとっては発音が難しい場合があります。これらの単語をshadowing siteを使って繰り返し練習することが、英語の発音を良くする手助けになります。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | has never been |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — 後ろに-ing形が続く動詞 | finished asking · start looking |
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。
