News Review from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello and welcome to News Review,
3
the programme where we give you the words and phrases you need to talk about the news.
4
Hello, I'm Neil and joining me today is Finn.
5
Hi there, Finn.
6
Hi, Neil.
7
What story have you got today?
8
Let me give you a little hint.
9
Today's story is about an English football team who have done very well, very unexpectedly.
10
OK, well let's hear more about that from this BBC World Service News bulletin.
11
Leicester City Football Club, whose entire squad cost less than a single player at some of its better-known rivals,
12
have won the English Premier League.
13
Leicester were 5,000 to 1 outsiders to win at the start of the season,
14
meaning bookmakers considered it more likely that Elvis Presley would be found alive.
15
So there we go.
16
The story's not about Elvis Presley,
17
it's about Leicester City Football Club.
18
They're a team who've never won the Premier League.
19
Last year they were almost relegated from the Premier League.
20
Their team cost very little in comparison to other teams in that division,
21
but they've won the league this year.
22
So it's a really popular and interesting result.
23
It's amazing, isn't it?
24
And Finn, you've been looking at this story across the media.
25
What are the words and phrases that are jumping out at you?
26
OK, here we go.
27
First one is fairy tale.
28
And then we've got two very similar expressions,
29
nuts and bonkers and finally a one-off.
30
OK, so a little definition here.
31
Fairy tale in this sense meaning unreal or incredible, unbelievable.
32
We have nuts or bonkers,
33
simply meaning crazy, uncontrolled, wild.
34
And then we have this expression a one-off which is used to describe something which will only happen once.
35
So, Finn, how are these words and expressions appearing appearing in the headlines?
36
OK, I've got a few headlines for you here.
37
Firstly, in the BBC Sport we have BBC Football Daily.
38
Leicester City's Premier League fairy tale comes true.
39
And a similar one, I'll take them together.
40
In The Telegraph, Leicester City are champions after fairy tale season,
41
achieving greatest sporting upset of all time.
42
So, fairy tale, here we go.
43
As Neil said, fairy tale in this sense describes something that's incredible or amazing.
44
Yeah.
45
But the original meaning of a fairy tale is something a little bit different, isn't it?
46
Yeah.
47
It's a story.
48
Cinderella.
49
Cinderella.
50
Sleeping Beauty.
51
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
52
These are fairy tales.
53
These are stories that are.. they're stories for kids with a strong moral message,
54
where good generally triumphs.
55
It defeats evil at the end.
56
We're not using it in quite the same way here, are we?
57
It's a story where Leicester City were not expected to win,
58
but you know what?
59
Everyone wanted them to win.
60
They did by the end,
61
even people who couldn't care less about Leicester City.
62
Apart from Spurs fans, who were their rivals perhaps.
63
But yes, people in general were very,
64
very excited about this and it has a fairytale ending
65
because it's seen as something with a very happy ending that everybody wanted.
66
And the right thing happened.
67
The right ending, exactly.
68
What's next?
69
So, next up we have two related expressions.
70
Firstly, in the Huffington Post,
71
Leicester City win the Premiership, team go absolutely nuts.
72
To go nuts.
73
To go nuts.
74
Nuts, of course, you eat them.
75
Yep.
76
Not here.
77
Nuts here means crazy in the sense of being wild,
78
uncontrolled, out of control.
79
Yeah.
80
It can sometimes mean angry,
81
but it doesn't mean that here.
82
No. If you go nuts,
83
their team win the Premiership, they're very, very excited.
84
They're probably celebrating very wildly.
85
Uncontrolled joy.
86
Absolutely.
87
And another expression which means something very similar is bonkers.
88
So in the last headline we had the team going nuts,
89
this time in The Mirror,
90
which is a newspaper in the UK.
91
The city of Leicester goes utterly bonkers in support of Leicester City.
92
So this is the whole city going bonkers, going crazy, going nuts.
93
It's a good thing in this sense.
94
They are very excited, they're not controlling their emotions.
95
It's a very British expression.
96
It is, isn't it?
97
Bonkers.
98
So Neil, I've never seen you go completely bonkers during a programme, which is good.
99
I would tell you, if I was a Leicester City fan,
100
I would be going absolutely bonkers right now.
101
And that's it.
102
We often use it with the verb go. To go.
103
To go bonkers.
104
To go nuts.
105
To go crazy.
106
There we are.
107
Next we have a headline in The Independent.
108
Gary Lineker interview.
109
Gary Lineker is a famous English striker.
110
Used to play for Leicester.
111
Is from Leicester and used to play for Leicester and is a big Leicester fan.
112
Leicester's season is bonkers.
113
There's that bonkers again.
114
But we're focusing on the next expression.
115
It'll be a one-off, but who cares?
116
So this is this expression, one-off.
117
Something that happens only once,
118
or very, very, very rarely.
119
For example, Leicester City winning the Premier League.
120
Exactly.
121
So it's.. it's.. it's.. they might win it again,
122
but it will be a one-off that they win it like this.
123
Yeah.
124
As for the first time against everyone's expectations.
125
So how else might we hear this expression being used?
126
Sometimes, you know, old rock bands who've been around for a long time,
127
they go their separate ways and they come together again for a one-off.
128
Yeah, a one-off concert.
129
A one-off gig, a one-off concert.
130
Do you remember that band that we used to be in, Finn?
131
Well, we did have a bit of a BBC Learning English jam session, didn't we?
132
One time, maybe for the fans,
133
we could have a one-off reunion concert.
134
Neil, I think that's a wonderful idea.
135
Let's do it.
136
A one-off gig.
137
Just like Leicester City's win.
138
Well, on that note, and talking about one-offs,
139
let's listen to a report from the BBC's Dan Rowan.
140
Manager Claudio Ranieri showed just what was possible,
141
the likeable Italian maintaining composure and forging a skilful,
142
resolute team that confounded those who expected its challenge to fade.
143
But for all the talent,
144
timing was also key, this a season when the biggest clubs faltered.
145
Leicester City took full advantage,
146
and sport will now wait to see whether the club's very first title was a one-off
147
or a sign that the modern game isn't quite as predictable as previously thought.
148
The BBC's Dan Rowan there, using that expression, one-off.
149
Now it's time for our Facebook challenge,
150
and we thought that this week we'd do something connected to the pronunciation of place names in England.
151
Now, Leicester is one of those names that's difficult to know how to say because its spelling and pronunciation are very different.
152
It's spelt L-E-I-C-E-S-T-E-R but pronounced Lester.
153
Lester, yep.
154
Which doesn't look like it should be.
155
You don't think so, would you?
156
Another one is Worcester, famous sauce,
157
Worcestersauce, spelt very differently to how it sounds.
158
Now, here's a challenge for our Facebook followers.
159
We wanted to know how they think,
160
or you think, this place name,
161
which looks like it should be pronounced God-Manchester.
162
How is it actually pronounced?
163
So there's a name of a place,
164
it looks like God-Manchester, but how is it pronounced?
165
Is it A.
166
God-Manchester, B.
167
God-chester, or C.
168
Gum-ster?
169
Neil, I like this question.
170
We had a great response on Facebook as always,
171
and I think there's a clue in your question.
172
It's probably not A.
173
But we had a couple of people who said A.
174
Chali Mala, I guess A.
175
God Manchester, sadly, not right.
176
B was Godchester.
177
Himani Sharma said B.
178
Godchester.
179
Not right, though, is it?
180
Sadly, not right either.
181
But a few people got it right.
182
Nasreen Ahmad said the correct answer is gumster, which it indeed is.
183
Did you know this before Neil?
184
I know this because I had to read that name out on the radio once and I got it wrong.
185
Oh no!
186
So you'll never forget.
187
So yes, people listening to us,
188
don't worry if you find it difficult to know the pronunciation of English place names because sometimes they're just completely bonkers.
189
Well, I think whatever happens,
190
many more people will know how to say Lester after this story around the world.
191
Finn, can you just give us a quick summary of the language we've looked at in this programme?
192
OK, so our first one was fairy tale,
193
which means unreal or incredible when it's used as an adjective.
194
Then we had nuts and bonkers.
195
They kind of go together.
196
They both mean crazy or wild or uncontrolled.
197
And finally, a one-off, which is something that happens only once.
198
Well, thank you for joining us.
199

203

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。
