1
You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman who is looking for a job
2
and a man from a company that organizes cycling holidays.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Hello, Pembroke Cycling Holidays.
7
Bob speaking.
8
Oh, hello.
9
I've seen your advert for people to lead cycle trips.
10
Are you the right person to speak to?
11
Yes, I am.
12
Could I have your name, please?
13
It's Margaret Smith.
14
The woman's surname is Smith,
15
so Smith has been written in the space.
16
Now we shall begin.
17
You should answer the questions as you listen,
18
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
19
Listen carefully and answer questions one to six.
20
Hello, Pembroke Cycling Holidays.
21
Bob speaking.
22
Oh, hello.
23
I've seen your advert for people to lead cycle trips.
24
Are you the right person to speak to?
25
Yes, I am.
26
Could I have your name, please?
27
It's Margaret Smith.
28
Are you looking for a permanent job, Margaret?
29
No, temporary.
30
I've got a permanent job starting in a few months' time,
31
and I want to do something else until then.
32
What work do you do?
33
This will probably sound crazy.
34
I used to be a lawyer,
35
and then I made a complete career change,
36
and I'm going to be a doctor.
37
I've just finished my training.
38
Right.
39
And have you had any experience of leading cycle trips?
40
Yes, I've led several bike tours in Africa.
41
The trip to India that I had arranged to lead next month has now been cancelled,
42
so when I saw you were advertising for tour leaders,
43
I decided to apply.
44
OK.
45
Now, we normally have two or three leaders on a trip,
46
depending on the size of the group.
47
Some tours are for very experienced cyclists,
48
but we've got a tour coming up soon in Spain,
49
is proving so popular we need an additional leader.
50
It's a cycling holiday for families.
51
Would that suit you?
52
It certainly would.
53
I enjoy working with children,
54
and I probably need some more experience before I go on a really challenging trip.
55
That tour includes several teenagers.
56
Have you worked with that age group before?
57
Yes.
58
I'm a volunteer worker in a youth club where I help people to improve their cycling skills.
59
Before that, I helped out in a cycling club where I taught beginners.
60
Well, that's great.
61
Now, the trip I mentioned is just for a fortnight,
62
but there might be the possibility of leading other tours after that.
63
Would that fit in with your plans?
64
That'd be fine.
65
I'll be free for five months.
66
My job is due to start on October 2nd,
67
and I'm available from May the 1st until late September.
68
Good.
69
Now, is there anything I need to know about the food you eat?
70
We usually have one or two people in the group who don't eat meat or have some sort of food allergy,
71
so we're always very careful about that.
72
Yes, I'm allergic to cheese.
73
Would that be a problem?
74
No. As long as we have enough notice,
75
we can deal with that.
76
That's great.
77
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
78
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
79
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
80
It sounds really interesting.
81
Would you like me to fill in an application form?
82
Yes, please.
83
Where should I post it to?
84
Could you send it to 27RButhnotplace, A-R-B-U-T-H-N-O-T, Place, Dumfries?
85
And what's the postcode, please?
86
DG74PH.
87
Was that P-Pupa or B-Bravo?
88
P-Pupa.
89
Got that.
90
If you could return the application form by Friday this week,
91
we can interview you on Tuesday next week.
92
Say, half past two?
93
Would that be possible for you?
94
Yes, it's fine.
95
You're quite a long way from where I live,
96
so I'll drive over on Monday.
97
Should I bring anything to the interview?
98
We'll have your application form,
99
of course, but we'll need to see any certificates you've got that are relevant in cycling,
100
first aid or whatever.
101
Okay.
102
And at the interview, we'd like to find out about your experience of being a tour guide.
103
So, could you prepare a 10-minute talk about that, please?
104
You don't need slides or any complicated equipment, just some notes.
105
Right.
106
I'll start thinking about that straight away.
107
Good.
108
Well, we'll look forward to receiving your application form and we'll contact you to confirm the interview.
109
Thanks very much.
110
Thank you, Margaret.
111
Goodbye.
112
Bye.
113
That is the end of Section 1.
114
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
115
Thank you.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は？
このビデオは、職を探している女性とサイクリング休暇を企画している会社の男性との電話会話を通じて英語を学ぶ絶好の機会です。このような実践的なスピーキングの文脈を使用することで、リスニング力だけでなく、スピーキング力も向上できます。電話での会話や雇用のためのインタビューシーンは、実際の生活において非常に一般的な場面です。そのため、YouTubeで英語学習を進める際には、このような実践を積むことが特に重要です。
文法と文脈の中の表現
以下は、このビデオで使われている重要な文法構造や表現を分析したものです。
- 過去形の使用: “I used to be a lawyer.”という文は、過去の経験を述べるのに使われています。この構文は、英語の会話で自分の経歴を説明する際に非常に便利です。
- 条件文: “If I saw you were advertising for tour leaders, I decided to apply.”は、条件を示す構文です。条件文は、会話の中で提案や理由を述べる際によく使われます。
- 名詞の使い方: “experience of leading cycle trips”のように、名詞のフレーズを組み合わせることで、自分の経験を具体的に説明することができます。この技術は英語スピーキング練習にも役立ちます。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオで注意したい発音のポイントはいくつかあります。特に、“experience,” “permanent,” “temporary”といった単語は、日本語話者にとって発音しづらいことがあります。それぞれの音をはっきりと区別し、繰り返し練習することが重要です。また、英語のリズムやイントネーションを理解するためには、英語シャドーイングが効果的です。これにより、英語の発音を良くする訓練ができ、特に会話の際によく使用されるリズムを身につけることができます。
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。
