レッスンを作成中...
1
Hey, today's vlog is all about your mates, your buds, your pals, your besties, your squad, you know, your friends.
2
And for Lewis and Yasmin, that's us.
3
And that's why we've decided to take control of their vlog.
4
I'm Isabel.
5
And I'm Max.
6
And we're actually cousins.
7
But today we're talking about friends, what they mean to us and what makes a good one.
8
Well for me, that's easy.
9
It's the people who you get on well with.
10
If you meet someone and you like the same things and have the same sense of humour, you make friends.
11
That's it.
12
End of.
13
End of?
14
Oh come off it.
15
There's way more to it than that.
16
A real friend is someone who's always there for you.
17
Somebody who takes an interest in your life and gives you support when you need it.
18
They're not just there for a good time, they're there all the time.
19
Well, I guess that's true, which means I have three really good friends and one best friend.
20
Let me guess.
21
Lewis?
22
Yeah, I mean, obviously.
23
We've been friends for ages.
24
We met in the first year of primary school and we've been best friends ever since.
25
We're both very similar and we're into a lot of the same things like film and sport.
26
Although he supports the wrong team which we fight about a lot.
27
But have you ever had any massive arguments?
28
You can say that again.
29
I mean serious arguments.
30
Like not about football?
31
Um, no. We haven't really fallen out ever.
32
I don't think, no. Lewis is a great friend.
33
Over the years he's always been there.
34
I broke my leg a couple of years ago and he came to the hospital every day.
35
I mean, he made fun of me every day too, but his visits really cheered me up.
36
That sounds like a good friend to me.
37
And reminds me of Yasmin.
38
We haven't known each other as long as you and Lewis, because we only made friends with each other about three years ago.
39
But she's definitely my best friend.
40
That isn't just because we get on well, although we do have loads in common.
41
It's because she always tells the truth.
42
Actually, some people think she can be too honest.
43
But she's never nasty about it.
44
She's actually really kind, if that makes sense.
45
Yeah, I get you.
46
And I think that shows real respect.
47
It's not always easy to tell the truth.
48
Exactly.
49
But don't get me wrong, she's a great laugh too.
50
But what about you guys?
51
Who are your best friends?
52
How long have you known each other and why are they so important to you?
53
And as always, send us your messages or to Lewis and Yasmin.
54
Bye!

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。
