We've got no food, Jack, says his mother.
2
We've got no money.
3
Go and sell the cow.
4
So Jack goes up the road.
5
Look, says a strange old man, magic beans.
6
Give me that cow and you can have them.
7
Oh, says Jack.
8
All right.
9
What? shouts Jack's mother.
10
No money?
11
Beans?
12
Go to bed now.
13
But in the morning, there's a beanstalk.
14
Tall, tall, tall.
15
And green, green, green.
16
Ooh, says Jack.
17
Wonderful.
18
Magic.
19
Jack climbs out of the window.
20
He climbs up the beanstalk.
21
Up, up, up.
22
Jack comes to a road.
23
He walks and walks.
24
Then he sees a house.
25
A big, big house.
26
And a woman.
27
A big, big woman.
28
Can I have some breakfast?
29
Says Jack.
30
All right, she says.
31
Come in. But listen.
32
My man is a giant.
33
He eats boys.
34
So be quiet.
35
She gives Jack some breakfast.
36
Then there's a noise.
37
Thump, thump, thump.
38
My big man is here, she says.
39
Quick, hide.
40
Get in there.
41
Fee, fie, foe, foy.
42
I can smell a little boy," says the big giant.
43
No, you can't, says his wife.
44
Wash your hands.
45
Your breakfast is ready.
46
He eats his breakfast.
47
Then he says, Wife, bring me my gold.
48
He puts the gold on the table.
49
One, two, three.
50
The giant goes to sleep.
51
Then Jack comes out quietly.
52
He takes a bag of gold, and quietly he runs away.
53
Jack runs back down the long road.
54
He climbs back down the beanstalk, and he takes the gold home to his mother.
55
Look, mother, look, he says.
56
Now they live well, but one day there's no more gold.
57
So Jack climbs up the beanstalk again.
58
Up, up, up.
59
He comes to the road again.
60
He walks and walks.
61
He sees the house again.
62
The big, big house.
63
Can I have some breakfast?
64
Jack says.
65
Go away, says the big woman.
66
My big man eats boys, and you're a bad boy.
67
You take things, don't you?
68
I don't take things, says Jack.
69
That's another boy.
70
I can tell you his name, but I want some breakfast first." "'All right,' says the woman.
71
Come in.
72
She gives Jack some breakfast.
73
Then there's a noise.
74
Thump!
75
Thump!
76
Thump!
77
My big man is here, says the woman.
78
Quick!
79
Hide!
80
Get in there!
81
Fee, fi, fo, foy.
82
I can smell a little boy, says the giant.
83
No, you can't, says his wife.
84
Wash your hands.
85
Your breakfast is ready.
86
After breakfast, the giant says, Wife, bring me my hen.
87
I want some gold eggs.
88
So she brings the hen to the table.
89
Lay, says the giant, and the hen lays a gold egg.
90
Yes, says the giant.
91
Lay, lay.
92
Then he goes to sleep.
93
Then Jack comes out, and he takes the magic hen, and he quietly runs away.
94
He runs back home to his mother.
95
Jack and his mother are happy.
96
They are never hungry now.
97
But Jack wants to climb up the beanstalk one more time.
98
He comes to the road again.
99
He walks and walks.
100
He sees the house again.
101
The big, big house. And the woman.
102
The big, big woman.
103
But this time, she doesn't see him.
104
Jack hides behind some books.
105
Soon he hears a noise.
106
Fee-fie-foe-foy.
107
I can smell a little boy," says the giant. Can you?
108
Says his wife.
109
Is that bad boy here again?
110
Let's look in here.
111
Perhaps he's hiding.
112
But they can't find Jack.
113
After breakfast, the giant says, Wife, bring me my magic harp.
114
She brings it, and he says, Play, harp, play!
115
Then he goes to sleep.
116
Quietly, Jack comes out.
117
He takes the magic harp, and quietly he runs away.
118
But the harp calls out, Giant!
119
Giant!
120
The boy is taking me!
121
Then the giant opens his eyes.
122
Help! says Jack.
123
He runs away fast.
124
He runs down the long road.
125
He's taking me!
126
sings the harp.
127
Stop! shouts the giant.
128
Bring back my harp!
129
Jack gets to the beanstalk.
130
Quickly he climbs down.
131
Down, down, down.
132
Mother, get the axe!
133
Quick!
134
The big giant is coming!
135
Jack cuts down the beanstalk.
136
And the giant falls down.
137
His head hits the ground.
138
Thump! And he is dead.
139
That's the end of him, says Jack.
140
Now, can I have some breakfast?

この動画が英語スピーキング練習に最適な理由

「Jack and the Beanstalk」の動画は、初心者から中級者向けの英語学習素材としてぴったりです。ストーリーがシンプルで覚えやすく、日常的な会話表現がたくさん含まれているからです。特に、YouTubeで英語学習をする際に必要な「自然な発音」や「イントネーション」を練習できる点が魅力です。会話のリズムがゆっくりで、発音がはっきりしているので、shadow speech(シャドースピーチ)の練習に最適です。

自然な英語表現を分解してみよう

動画の中には、自然な英語の使い方がいくつもあります。まず、「We've got no food」という文は、「We have no food」よりも口語的で、日常会話でよく使われます。「've got」の短縮形を使うことで、より自然な発音になります。次に、「Go and sell the cow」は「Go to sell the cow」よりも直接的で、命令文として親しみやすい表現です。最後に、「Fee, fie, foe, foy」という巨人の台詞は、韻を踏んでいて覚えやすく、イントネーションの変化を感じることができます。これらの表現を覚えることで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自然な会話ができるようになります。

効果的な練習ルーティンを作ろう

shadow speechの練習は、以下のステップで行いましょう。まず、動画を1文ずつ止めながら、発音やイントネーションを注意深く聞きます。次に、同じように声を出して繰り返します。このとき、自分の声を録音してみると、自分の発音と原話の違いがわかりやすいです。1文ずつマスターしたら、2-3文連続で練習し、最後に全体を一気に話してみましょう。この練習を毎日10分続けることで、英語のスピーキングが格段に上達します。shadowspeaksのような方法を使うと、より効果的に練習できます。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、このような簡単なルーティンを取り入れると良いでしょう。

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。
