Hi, Chantal.
2
What did you think of the talk then?
3
Hi, Hugo.
4
I thought it was good once I'd moved seats.
5
Oh, were the people beside you chatting or something?
6
It wasn't that.
7
I went early so that I'd get a seat and not have to stand.
8
But then this guy sat right in front of me and he was so tall.
9
It's hard to see through people's heads, isn't it?
10
Impossible.
11
Anyway, to answer your question,
12
I thought it was really interesting,
13
especially what the speaker said about the job market.
14
Me too.
15
I mean, we know we're going into a really competitive field,
16
so it's obvious that we may struggle to get work.
17
That's right.
18
And we know we can't all have that dream job.
19
Yeah, but it looks like there's a whole range of areas of work that we hadn't even thought of,
20
like fashion journalism for instance.
21
Yeah, I wasn't expecting so many career options.
22
Hmm.
23
Overall, she had quite a strong message, didn't she?
24
She did.
25
She kept saying things like,
26
I know you all think this, but.. and then she'd tell us how it really is.
27
Perhaps she thinks students are a bit narrow-minded about the industry.
28
It was a bit harsh, though.
29
We know it's a tough industry.
30
Yeah.
31
And we're only first years, after all.
32
We've got a lot to learn.
33
Exactly.
34
Do you think our secondary school education should have been more career-focused?
35
Well, we had numerous talks on careers,
36
which was good, but none of them were very inspiring.
37
They could have asked more people like today's speaker to talk to us.
38
I agree.
39
We were told about lots of different careers,
40
just when we needed to be,
41
but not by the experts who really know stuff.
42
So, did today's talk influence your thoughts on what career you'd like to take up in the future?
43
Well, I promised myself that I'd go through this course and keep an open mind till the end.
44
But I think it's better to pick an area of the industry now
45
and then aim to get better and better at it.
46
Well, I think we'll just have to differ on that issue.
47
One thing's for certain though.
48
From what she said, we'll be unpaid assistants in the industry for quite a long time.
49
I'm prepared for that, aren't you?
50
Actually, I'm not going to accept that view.
51
Really?
52
But she knows it's the case and everyone else says the same.
53
That doesn't mean it has to be true for me.
54
OK.
55
Well, I hope you're right.
56
I thought the speaker's account of her first job was fascinating.
57
Yeah.
58
She admitted she was lucky to get work being a personal dresser for a musician.
59
She didn't even apply for the job,
60
and there she was, getting paid to choose all his clothes.
61
It must have felt amazing.
62
Though she said all she was looking for back then was experience, not financial reward.
63
And then he was so mean telling her she was more interested in her own appearance than his.
64
But she did realise he was right about that,
65
which really made me think.
66
I'm always considering my own clothes,
67
but now I can see you should be focusing on your client.
68
She obviously regretted losing the job.
69
Well, as she said, she should have hidden her negative feelings about him, but she didn't.
70
It was really brave the way she picked herself up and took that job in retail.
71
Fancy working in a shop after that.
72
Yeah, well, she recommended we all do it at some point.
73
I guess as a designer you'd get to find out some useful information,
74
like how big or small the average shopper is.
75
I think that's an issue for manufacturers, not designers.
76
However, it would be useful to know if there's a gap in the market, you know?
77
An item that no one's stocking but that consumers are looking for.
78
Yeah, people don't give up searching.
79
They also take things back to the store if they aren't right.
80
Yeah.
81
Imagine you worked in an expensive shop and you found out the garments sold there were being returned because they...
82
.. fell apart in the wash.
83
Yeah, it would be good to know that kind of thing.
84
Yeah.

なぜこの動画でスピーキングを練習するべきなのか？
この動画では、若者たちの将来のキャリアについてのディスカッションが行われています。動画内の会話は、キャリア選択や業界の厳しさについてのリアルな視点を提供しており、英語を学ぶ上で非常に有益です。特に、産業界の現実や選択肢についての話題は、学生たちにとって共感できる部分が多く、英語でのコミュニケーション能力向上に貢献します。英語シャドーイングを利用すれば、自然な表現を学び、スピーキング力を向上させることが可能です。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
- 「I thought it was good once I'd moved seats」 - 過去の行動を表現する際の「once」の使い方に注目しましょう。これは条件文の一種で、特定の状況が発生した後の結果を述べるのに役立ちます。
- 「it's obvious that we may struggle to get work」 - 可能性を示す「may」が使われており、将来の不確実性について話す際の便利な表現です。
- 「I promised myself that I'd go through this course」 - 跳躍的未来の約束を表すための「promised myself」の使い方に注目し、自分の目標を口に出して表現することが重要です。
- 「we'll be unpaid assistants in the industry for quite a long time」 - 未来形「will be」と、長い間の期間を示す「for quite a long time」の組み合わせが印象的です。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画の中には、英語の発音を良くするためのいくつかの落とし穴があります。例えば、「career」や「influenced」のように、母音やアクセントが重要な役割を果たす単語があります。また、対話に含まれる軽いスラングや色々な方言が考慮されるべきです。こうした単語の発音に注意を払い、shadow speechを実践することで、より正確な発音を身に付けられるでしょう。
特に、IELTS スピーキング対策として、このような実際の会話を使用することで、テストに必要なスピーキング力を養うことが可能です。日常会話を通じて、リアルな文脈の中で英語を学びながら、自然に英語が話せるようになるでしょう。興味のある方は、ぜひ英語シャドーイングを活用してみてください。
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。
