I'm Emily.

Hello, Emily.
4
Hello, everyone.
5
It's wonderful to be with you all today.
6
I'm Paul, and I am very happy to be here.
7
I'm happy you are here too, Paul.
8
are you today?
9
I'm doing great, thank you.
10
The sun is shining.
11
It's a beautiful day.
12
How about you, Emily?
13
I'm very well, thank you.
14
And I'm excited for our topic today.
15
It's something we all do.
16
Ooh, that sounds interesting.
17
What are we talking about?
18
Today, we are going to talk about the supermarket.
19
Yay!
20
Ah, the supermarket.
21
Yes, that is a very useful topic.
22
We all need to buy food.
23
Exactly.
24
We will talk about the words and phrases you can use when you go shopping for groceries.
25
That's a fantastic idea.
26
But before we begin our shopping trip, we have a small request for our amazing listeners.

31
Your support is wonderful.
32
Okay, Paul, are you ready to go to the supermarket?
33
I am ready.
34
I even have my shopping list.
35
A shopping list?
36
That is very organized.
37
I always make a list, too.
38
It helps me remember everything.
39
Me too.
40
Without a list, I forget the milk or the bread.
41
So, what is on your list today, Paul?
42
Hmm, let me see.
43
I need some fruit.
44
I need apples and bananas.
45
And I need some yogurt.
46
Okay, fruit and yogurt.
47
A healthy choice.
48
I try.
49
What about your list, Emily?
50
My list is a little longer.
51
I need milk, eggs, and bread.
52
I also need some chicken for dinner tonight.
53
and maybe some carrots.
54
Chicken and carrots sound delicious for dinner.
55
Okay, so we have our lists.
56
Let's imagine we are at the supermarket now.
57
Perfect.
58
We walk in through the big glass doors.
59
What is the first thing we need, Paul?
60
Well, we need something to put our food in.
61
We need a shopping cart or a shopping basket.
62
Yes, exactly.
63
A shopping cart is the big one with wheels.
64
You push it.
65
And a shopping basket is the small one.
66
You carry it.
67
Which one do you want today, Paul?
68
Your list is short.
69
A basket is good for me today.
70
I only need three things.
71
What about you, Emily?
72
My list is longer.
73
I need a cart.
74
I will push the big shopping cart.
75
Good idea.
76
Okay, you have your cart and I have my basket.
77
Where do we go first?
78
Let's get your fruit first.
79
The fruit and vegetable section is usually near the entrance.
80
Oh, yes, I see it.
81
It's very colorful.
82
Lots of reds, greens, and yellows.
83
It is.
84
So, your list says you need apples.
85
Yes.
86
Ah, look.
87
The apples are right here.
88
There are red apples and green apples.
89
Which ones do you prefer?
90
I like the red apples.
91
They are sweet.
92
The green apples are a little sour.
93
I like red apples, too.
94
How many apples do you need?
95
I think four apples will be good.
96
One, two, three, four.
97
Okay.
98
The apples are in my basket.
99
Great.
100
Now, what's next on your list?
101
I need bananas.
102
Where are the bananas?
103
Hmm, let's look.
104
Ah, I see them.
105
They are over there next to the oranges.
106
Oh, yes, I see.
107
I see a big bunch of bananas.
108
They look very fresh.
109
They do.
110
Some are yellow and some are a little green.
111
I like the yellow ones.
112
They are ready to eat.
113
I will take this bunch.
114
Four bananas.
115
Perfect.
116
So you have your apples and your bananas.
117
Your fruit is done.
118
Yes, that was easy.
119
Now, let's look at your list, Emily.
120
Okay.
121
I need carrots.
122
Carrots are vegetables, so they should be here too.
123
Let's see.
124
Carrots, carrots.
125
Found them.
126
They are next to the potatoes.
127
Ah, great job, Paul.
128
These look nice and orange.
129
I will get a bag of carrots.
130
Excellent.
131
So, fruits and vegetables are done.
132
What is the next section?
133
Well, I need milk and eggs, and you need yogurt.
134
Where do we find those things?
135
I know this one.
136
We need to go to the dairy section.
137
It's usually at the back of the store.
138
That's right.
139
Let's walk to the back.
140
Ooh, it's getting a little cold.
141
Yes, the dairy section is always cold.
142
Brr, all the refrigerators are here.
143
Okay, I see the milk.
144
There are many different kinds.
145
big cartons and small cartons.
146
Do you need a big carton or a small one?
147
I think a big carton of milk.
148
My family drinks a lot of milk with cereal in the morning.
149
Good choice.
150
Okay, milk is in the cart.
151
Now eggs.
152
The eggs are right next to the milk.
153
Perfect.
154
I need a dozen eggs.
155
A dozen is 12, right?
156
Yes, exactly.
157
One dozen is 12 eggs.
158
And a half dozen is 6 eggs.
159
Ah, okay.
160
A dozen eggs.
161
Here you go.
162
Be careful with them.
163
Thank you, Paul.
164
I will put them in the cart gently.
165
Now it's your turn.
166
You need yogurt.
167
Yes, the yogurt is here too.
168
Wow, so many flavors.
169
Strawberry, blueberry, vanilla.
170
Which one is your favorite?
171
I love strawberry yogurt.
172
I will get two small pots of strawberry yogurt.
173
Yum!
174
That sounds good.
175
Okay, our dairy shopping is finished.
176
Great!
177
Let's look at the lists again.
178
What is next?
179
My list says bread.
180
Ah, bread.
181
That means we need to find the bakery section.
182
I love the bakery section.
183
It always smells so good.
184
Me too.
185
The smell of fresh bread is the best.
186
Mmm, I can smell it now.
187
Let's follow the good smell.
188
Here we are.
189
Look at all the bread.
190
There are loaves of bread, bread rolls, and even cakes and cookies.
191
It all looks so delicious.
192
I just need one loaf of white bread for sandwiches.
193
This one looks soft and fresh.
194
Here you go.
195
Thank you, Paul.
196
In the cart it goes.
197
Ooh, wait.
198
Look at those chocolate cookies.
199
They look very good.
200
Should we get some?
201
It's not on the list.
202
Mmm, maybe just a small treat.
203
A small bag of cookies.
204
I think that's a great idea.
205
Let's get the cookies.
206
Yay!
207
Okay, cookies are in the cart.
208
Now, I have to be serious again.
209
What is next on my list?
210
Let me see.
211
It says chicken.
212
Right, chicken, for dinner.
213
So we need to go to the meat section, or the meat counter.
214
The meat counter is usually next to the dairy section, at the back of the store.
215
Let's go.
216
Here we are.
217
There is a person working behind the counter.
218
We can ask them for what we need.
219
Yes.
220
I will say, hello, can I please have two chicken breasts?
221
That's a perfect way to ask.
222
And the person will say, of course.
223
They weigh the chicken and wrap it for me.
224
There.
225
Now I have the chicken for dinner.
226
Fantastic.
227
Is that everything on your list, Emily?
228
Let me check.
229
Milk, eggs, bread, chicken, carrots.
230
Yes, that's everything on my list.
231
And I have my apples, bananas, and yogurt.
232
So our lists are complete.
233
Yes.
234
But wait, I have an idea.
235
I am a little thirsty from all this shopping.
236
Me too.
237
We should get something to drink.
238
Let's go to the drinks aisle.
239
Good idea.
240
An aisle is the long path between the shelves in a supermarket.
241
That's right.
242
Aisle 1, aisle 2.
243
Let's find the drinks aisle.
244
Ah, here it is.
245
Aisle 7.
246
Wow.
247
Look at all the drinks.
248
There is water, juice, soda.
249
I would like some juice.
250
Orange juice sounds good.
251
Okay.
252
Here is a carton of orange juice for you.
253
I'm just going to get a big bottle of water.
254
Water is always a good choice.
255
Okay, now I think we have everything.
256
I think so too.
257
So where do we go now?
258
We have to pay for our food.
259
We need to go to the checkout.
260
Exactly.
261
The checkout is at the front of the store.
262
Let's go.
263
Look, there are a few checkout lines open.
264
Some are for many items, and some are express lines for few items.
265
The express line is for people with ten items or less.
266
You have a basket, Paul.
267
You can use the express line.
268
Oh, that's right.
269
But I will wait with you.
270
You have a big cart.
271
Aw, thank you, Paul.
272
Okay, this line is not too long.
273
Let's wait here.
274
Now it's our turn.
275
We put our items on the conveyor belt.
276
Yes.
277
I'll put my milk, eggs, bread, chicken, carrots, cookies, and water on the belt.
278
And I'll put my apples, bananas, yogurt, and orange juice.
279
The cashier is ready for us.
280
Hello.
281
Hello.
282
How are you today?
283
We are great, thank you.
284
Did you find everything you were looking for?
285
Yes, we did.
286
Thank you for asking.
287
Beep, beep, beep.
288
Okay, your total is $32.45.
289
Okay, can I pay with a card?
290
Yes, of course.
291
Cash or card is fine.
292
You can insert your card into the machine here.
293
Perfect.
294
I'll put my credit card in.
295
Beep, it's done.
296
Thank you.
297
Would you like a bag for your groceries?
298
Oh, yes please.
299
I forgot my bags today.
300
Two bags please.
301
Paper or plastic?
302
Plastic bags are fine.
303
Thank you.
304
Okay, here are your groceries in two bags, and here is your receipt.
305
Have a wonderful day.
306
Thank you so much.
307
You too.
308
Goodbye.
309
Wow, Emily, that was a perfect checkout conversation.
310
Thank you, Paul.
311
You're a very good cashier.
312
It was fun.
313
And now we have all our food.
314
We can go home.
315
Yes, a successful shopping trip.
316
We practiced a lot of useful English.
317
We really did.
318
We talked about a shopping list, a cart, and a basket.
319
And all the different sections.
320
The fruit and vegetable section, the dairy section, the bakery, and the meat counter.
321
We used important words like aisle and checkout.
322
And we asked for things politely.
323
Yes.
324
Saying please and thank you is so important.
325
It is.
326
It makes every conversation better.
327
What if we can't find something?
328
What can we say?
329
That's a great question.
330
We can find a store employee and say, Excuse me, where can I find the pasta?
331
Excuse me, where can I find the pasta?
332
That's very clear and polite.
333
And the employee will help you.
334
They can say, it's in aisle four.
335
Ah, yes.
336
So don't be afraid to ask for help.
337
People are usually very nice.
338
Exactly.
339
Practice is the most important part of learning.
340
Going to the supermarket is great practice.
341
It is.
342
You see the words on the signs, and you can have small conversations.
343
Yes.
344
You can talk about what you want to buy.
345
I want some red apples.
346
Or, I need a loaf of bread.
347
And you can talk about quantity.
348
A dozen eggs.
349
A bottle of water.
350
A bag of carrots.
351
You made some really good points, Paul.
352
I hope our listeners found this helpful.
353
I am sure they did.
354
It was fun to imagine the whole trip, from the list to the final thank you.
355
It was.
356
And now I'm a little hungry thinking about all that food.
357
Me too.
358
I'm ready to eat my strawberry yogurt.
359
And I am ready to think about making that chicken and carrots for dinner.
360
Well, that brings us to the end of our episode for today.
361
We had so much fun with you all.
362
We did, and we want to say a huge thank you for listening to Mr. English Channel.

367
For today's question, tell us, what is one thing you always buy at the supermarket?
368
Ooh, that's a fun question.
369
I'm excited to read the answers.
370
My one thing is always coffee.
371
Ah, good one.
372

文脈と背景
「Mr. English Channel」のポッドキャストでは、日常的な英会話のスキルを楽しく学ぶことができます。エミリーさんとポールさんがスーパーマーケットでの買い物について話すことで、私たちの日常生活に必要な英語表現を学ぶ機会を提供しています。この会話では、スーパーマーケットでの買い物リストの作成や、食材の購入に関するフレーズが含まれています。英語を学ぶ際には、実践的な場面で使用する言葉やフレーズを知ることが重要です。
日常コミュニケーションのためのトップ5フレーズ
- 「I need some fruit.」 - 「フルーツが必要です。」
- 「That's a very useful topic.」 - 「それはとても役に立つトピックです。」
- 「What about your list?」 - 「あなたのリストはどうですか？」
- 「I always make a list.」 - 「私はいつもリストを作ります。」
- 「It's a beautiful day.」 - 「美しい日ですね。」
これらのフレーズは、スーパーマーケットでの買い物など、日常の会話に役立ちます。特に、英語シャドーイングやシャドースピークを使って練習することで、発音やリズムを改善することが可能です。
段階的シャドーイングガイド
この動画の内容に取り組むための段階的なアプローチを以下に示します：
- 1. 初回視聴: 動画を通して一度視聴し、全体の流れを把握します。
- 2. フレーズの特定: 学びたいフレーズをリストアップします。特に、会話の中で使われている表現に注意を払いましょう。
- 3. シャドーイング: 動画を再生し、スピーカーに合わせて声に出してみます。英語の発音を良くするため、模倣することが重要です。
- 4. テキストの確認: スクリプト（もしあれば）を参照し、自分の発音と比べてみます。
- 5. 繰り返し練習: 複数回繰り返すことで、フレーズが自然に口から出てくるようになります。
このように、シャドーイングを実践することで、日常英会話のスキルを向上させることが可能です。特に、スーパーマーケットのような具体的なシチュエーションに焦点を当てることは、英語を学ぶ上で非常に効果的です。
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。
