シャドーイング練習: I Simplified My Phone (So It Doesn't Ruin My Life) - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
So many times I'd be looking at my home screen, no notifications, I had nothing to do.
2
I was just staring into a void.
3
I felt like I needed to be doing something
4
because there was other things I wanted to be doing but it wasn't the right time, or so I thought.
5
So I'd just find myself staring at the home screen,
6
click whatever red app caught my attention at the time and spend hours there.
7
What are you doing?
8
I'm waiting. For what?
9
The perfect moment.
10
You know that's never gonna come and I don't have a camera.
11
You do have a camera, but it's not good enough.
12
It's good enough for what you need right now.
13
I have an idea.
14
Here, give it to me.
15
Now here's what I think is really important, because I see so many people waiting for that perfect moment.
16
They're waiting for the perfect camera, waiting for them to feel completely ready but I think that perfect moment will never come.
17
There's never going to be a time when you feel 100% ready.
18
So what I think the message is trying to say here is that if you have an idea to create something, maybe a YouTube channel, a product, a business, just start now.
19
Don't let time control you.
20
I made the same mistake and you just can't understand how much it's controlled my life.
21
So I sat in a limbo, time ticking, controlling me.
22
Just start now.
23
I think you get the idea.
24
See, this message that I'm delivering, it's igniting a spark inside you that you want to create or do just something.
25
This video is trying to subtly bring it back up to the surface.
26
It's boiling inside you.
27
It needs to be created.
28
It's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this message.
29
Go do it as soon as you possibly can and try and make it sooner.
30
So this is my current home screen and to be honest it's a bit of a mess.
31
There's apps everywhere, there's folders everywhere and I just don't really need them all over my home screen.
32
So the first thing I'm going to go do is go to the app library
33
and just start deleting all the apps that I don't need or use anymore.
34
Now I've uninstalled all the apps I don't really use, I need to organize my home screen, change it to things that I would use on a daily basis.
35
I don't really want to be seeing apps that are just going to grab my attention.
36
So now I'm just removing everything from my home screen, sorry about the autofocus.
37
This is the reason why I think I don't have a good enough camera.
38
Thing is, I just need to be making content, and it's what I have right now, so I need to use it to my advantage and hopefully better gear will come one day.
39
So this is what I've ended up with so far, things I'd use on a daily basis.
40
Anything else I'd need to access should be in one of the widgets.
41
I like to see the time because I think it looks kind of cool.
42
Second page I'm not really happy with, I'll have to come back to it later, but it's got all of the productivity apps I need,
43
calculator calendar things I'd use on a daily basis
44
but don't really want to be looking at my home screen
45
I wouldn't really use this folder on a daily basis but
46
when I use one app I like to use the other
47
one within the space of five minutes I like to have
48
them all together next thing I'm going to do is change the control center with iOS 18 it has changed
49
so you can rearrange the controls there we go
50
so whenever I open the control center this is everything I can see everything's in a good place
51
so it's easy to access.
52
This is what I've called evening focus.
53
It limits all notifications and adds a darker wallpaper.
54
Basically, it just helps me stop using my phone after 9pm.
55
It limits what I can do and should improve the quality of my sleep.
56
So that's pretty much everything for rearranging my home screen.
57
That's what I've ended up with.
58
And next, I'd say is probably like digital minimalism, unsubscribing from email listings I don't need, sorting them out, organizing them into folders.
59
So now, whenever I'm staring at my home screen, I'm not going to see anything tempting to just open other than the gallery app, lol.
60
So, yeah, I've got no distracting apps to look at, no red apps, which was mainly the big problem.
61
You open a red app, let's face it, you're going to be there for an hour at least.
62
But now I've changed that.
63
Whenever I want to go into one of those apps, I'm gonna have to swipe it down and intentionally search for it
64
and in that time I should be able to stop myself and actually question You know, why are you going into this app?
65
Do you need to be going into this app right now?
66
What are you gonna do?
67
Also, if you liked this video, why not drop a like?
このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオでは、単にスマートフォンの使い方を簡素化するだけでなく、自己表現や創造性の重要性についても触れています。英語を話す際、「今すぐ始める」というメッセージは、あなたの英語学習にもとても励みになります。特に、YouTubeで英語学習をしている方々にとって、このリマインダーは非常に価値があります。動画を通じて刺激を受け、自分の考えを英語で表現する勇気を持ちましょう。
文法とコンテキストにおける表現
- “I think that perfect moment will never come.” - この文では「never」を使って未来の可能性を否定し、自信を持って語っています。
- “Just start now.” - これは命令文で、行動を促す強いメッセージです。リスナーに対して行動を起こすことを勧めています。
- “I need to organize my home screen.” - 他の文と同様に、自分のニーズを明確に表現しています。「need」を使用することで、自分にとっての重要性を強調しています。
これらの構文を英語で実際に使ってみることで、英語スピーキング練習に役立つとともに、流暢さを身につける手助けになります。
一般的な発音の難所
ビデオ内では、いくつかの難しい発音を見つけることができます。例えば、「perfect moment」の「perfect」と「moment」の連結があることで、滑らかに話す際に注意が必要です。また、「control center」のような言葉も音が重なりやすいので、IELTSスピーキング対策として練習するのに最適です。
これらの発音練習を通じて、shadowing siteを活用しながら、リズムや音調に慣れていくことが大切です。リスニングと同時に声を出すことで、より自然な会話ができるようになります。
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。
