1
Describe a time when you felt proud of a family member.
2
I'm going to talk about the time I received the news
3
that my older brother got accepted into two universities at the same time,
4
which made me feel extremely proud.
5
His name is Tim and he is four years older than me.
6
Although it happened a while ago,
7
I still remember it vividly,
8
almost as if it were just yesterday.
9
I was in my room scrolling through social media when I heard my parents screaming excitedly excitedly.
10
I quickly rushed out of my room to see what was going on,
11
and that's when I heard the news.
12
Needless to say, at that moment,
13
all of us exploded with joy and pride.
14
My parents couldn't hide their happiness,
15
and they immediately told my relatives about it.
16
We threw a party later that night,
17
and it was a blast.
18
As for me, I not only took great pride in him,
19
but also felt super happy for him.
20
It was a well-deserved reward for his years of blood, sweat, and tears.
21
You know what?
22
To achieve this kind of success,
23
he had put a lot of effort into his studies.
24
I remember when he was in secondary school,
25
he was only an average student,
26
and it all changed after he entered high school.
27
He spent at least four hours a day on self-study,
28
and apart from attending classes at He also took some extra classes to improve his knowledge.
29
On top of that, he stayed away from video games,
30
which many students are addicted to at that age.
31
His hard work was an inspiring example for me.
32
As a matter of fact,
33
what he did gave me strong motivation to study hard.
34
And thanks to that, I also made it to university with good grades.
35
Gosh, I really admire him,
36
and he is honestly like a role model to me.
37
Hopefully one day, I can be as hardworking and successful as him.
38
When would parents feel proud of their children?
39
As a parent myself, I'd say parents usually feel proud whenever their children achieve an important goal,
40
especially one that takes a lot of time and effort,
41
like getting a high I.O.
42
Benz score, for example.
43
You know, it's often the result of years of hard work and practice,
44
so it means a lot not only to the child,
45
but also to the whole family.
46
In fact, I've read in the news
47
that some families even hold a party to celebrate the day their children receive a good men's score,
48
which really says a lot about how proud parents can feel.
49
Should parents reward children?
50
Why and how?
51
I've got to say this is quite a controversial topic in parenting.
52
But personally, I do think parents should reward their children,
53
especially when they achieve something meaningful.
54
I mean, as human beings,
55
we all want some recognition for our hard work,
56
and children are no exception.
57
If that recognition comes from their parents,
58
it carries even more emotional value because it makes children feel seen and supported.
59
It can motivate them to keep pushing themselves.
60
And more importantly, it shows them that their parents are always there for them,
61
every step of the way.
62
And the reward doesn't have to be anything expensive.
63
It could simply be a family meal,
64
a small gift, or even a few words of praise.
65
Is it good to reward children too often?
66
No, not really.
67
In my view, too much of a good thing can be harmful.
68
You know, if children are showered with rewards all the time,
69
they may start to take them for granted and stop seeing them as something meaningful.
70
So I think parents should be more selective when it comes to rewarding their kids.
71
For minor achievements like finishing a Lego set or getting a good mark in class,
72
a simple compliment or a few words of encouragement would be enough.
73
Bigger rewards should be saved for more meaningful milestones.
74
so children can truly appreciate them.
75
What do you think about children working hard just for grades?
76
Well, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing because after all,
77
doing well at school is what many parents and teachers expect from children
78
and grades are probably the clearest way to measure that.
79
Plus, getting good grades does take a lot of effort so it's not something we should look down on.
80
That said, it can become a problem if children study only for grades.
81
You know, they may lose their natural curiosity and stop learning things deeply.
82
They may just memorize information for exams instead of actually understanding it.
83
Also, grades mainly show how well students perform in an academic setting,
84
whereas in real life, practical skills can be just as important,
85
if not more important.
86
So I think the better approach is to strike a balance.
87
What would children do to make their parents proud?
88
I don't know about other parents,
89
but personally, I don't set the bar too high when it comes to this.
90
It may sound a bit cliche,
91
but as long as my children grow up to be healthy,
92
kind, and decent people, I'd already consider that a success.
93
That said, children can make their parents proud in many different ways.
94
It could be something as simple as behaving well at home or treating people around them with respect.
95
Or something bigger, like achieving great academic results or reaching an important personal goal.
96
On what occasions would adults be proud of themselves?
97
It's hard to generalize because it varies greatly from person to person.
98
But for the most part,
99
I'd say adults tend to feel proud of themselves when they achieve something meaningful or reach unimportant milestones in life.
100
This could be anything from finally getting rid of a bad habit to being able to afford something they've always dreamed of,
101
like a car or a house of their own.
102
For some people, it could even be something less visible,
103
like becoming more financially independent or building a stable career after years of hard work.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
「IELTS SPEAKING PART 2 + 3」ビデオでは、家族についての感情的なエピソードを通じて、スピーキングスキルを向上させる素晴らしい機会が提供されています。このようなトピックは、IELTSテストの準備に役立ち、特に感情を伝える能力を高めるために重要です。英語での感情表現は、ネイティブスピーカーと自然にコミュニケーションを取るために欠かせません。このビデオを利用して、YouTubeで英語学習をしながら、IELTS スピーキング対策としての効果を実感できるでしょう。
文法と文脈での表現
スピーカーが使用するキーワードや文法構造は、英語のスピーキングを向上させるための良いサンプルです。以下に代表的なものを示します。
- 「I remember when」: 過去の出来事を振り返る表現で、感情を伝えるのに役立ちます。
- 「not only... but also」: アイデアを強調し、2つの関連する考えをひとまとめにする際によく使われます。
- 「it means a lot」: 特定の出来事や成果がどれほど重要であるかを示すために使用されるフレーズです。
- 「like a role model」: 他人にとっての模範について話す際の有効な表現です。
これらの文法構造を練習することで、より複雑な文を自在に作成できるようになります。英語シャドーイングに取り組むことで、発音やリズムも改善されます。
一般的な発音のトラップ
このビデオでは、発音に関して特に注意が必要な単語がいくつかあります。以下に挙げます。
- 「accepted」: この単語は「アクセプテッド」と発音されるべきで、母音がしっかりと発音されることに注意が必要です。
- 「exploded」: 発音する際には「イ」音が強調されることを意識しましょう。
- 「motivation」: この単語も、発音が不正確になりやすいので、繰り返し練習すると良いでしょう。
きれいな発音を身につけるためには、シャドースピーキングを行い、ネイティブの発音を真似することが効果的です。日々の練習によって、自信を持ってスピーキングできるようになるでしょう。」
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。
