Hello, welcome back to English with Eleanor.
2
Today for our slow English video I want to show you one of my favourite animals.
3
If you follow me on any other platform,
4
you might already know that I live on a farm.
5
On our farm, we have cows,
6
not for milk, but they are beef and suckler cows.
7
So this means that they are used for food and they raise calves.
8
So this cow has a calf at the moment.
9
He is here.
10
This cow is our oldest cow and her name is Flossie.
11
Flossie is 15 years old and she has had 13 calves.
12
13. How is this possible?
13
Well, because she had two sets of twins.
14
So one year she had twin bull calves and another year she had twin heifer calves.
15
So she has been incredibly productive and I think she deserves her retirement now.
16
Now, cows in Ireland are kept inside in the winter
17
because it is too wet outside for them to be walking on the ground.
18
It makes holes in the ground.
19
So the cows and the calves are inside in the sheds from around October until April,
20
depending on which part of the country you live in and what your land is like.
21
When the cows are inside in the winter,
22
they have a thick coat and they become quite itchy.
23
So they really like to get combed like this.
24
This is similar to the interactions that cows have together when they are out in the field.
25
so you can see cows licking each other on the neck usually
26
when they are together during the summer and you can see
27
that she really enjoys it she is quite itchy this This cow,
28
Flossie, she will eat almost anything.
29
So if I have old bread,
30
vegetable peelings, anything like that,
31
I give them to Flossie and it's like a treat for her.
32
The weirdest thing that she ever ate was Christmas cake.
33
I will never do that again.
34
So there was one time when she was a lot younger
35
that there was a little piece of Christmas cake with icing on it and it was going stale.
36
This was maybe the end of January.
37
So when I was giving Flossie the other treats,
38
I gave her the cake,
39
but I guess it was too sticky.
40
The icing was sticky and it sort of got stuck,
41
I guess, because she seemed to be fine,
42
but she put her whole head into the water barrel
43
and blew out through her nose to try to get her airways cleared.
44
So I will never do that again.
45
That was the one and only time I let a cow eat icing.
46
Obviously she was totally fine.
47
Here she is about six or seven years later and everything is fine but yes,
48
would not recommend that one.
49
Stick with the vegetables, fruit and bread when it comes to giving cows treats.
50
Do you have any animals at home?
51
If not, would you like to?
52
Tell me a little bit about your animal in the comments and I would love to hear about it.
53

練習のコツ
このビデオのペースはゆっくりとしており、英語を話す自信をつけるための英語シャドーイングに最適です。特に、リスニング後にすぐに繰り返すことで、発音やイントネーションを身につけやすくなります。以下のポイントに注意して練習してみてください。
- スピーカーのトーンを真似る: フロッシーについての話し方を模倣することで、より自然な会話ができるようになります。
- 自分の言葉で訳してみる: 聞いた内容を自分の言葉で説明し直すことで、理解を深めましょう。
- 感情を込めて言う: 例えば、フロッシーがかゆい時のリアクションを真似ることで、より表現力豊かな英語を習得できます。
特に「shadow speech」や「shadowspeaks」のテクニックを用いることで、リアルな会話の流れを身につけることができ、英語スピーキング練習にも大きな効果があります。自信を持って練習を続けてください！
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。
