レッスンを作成中...
1
Last week I went to a bank in the United States.
2
I needed to take money from my account Simple, right?
3
But when I spoke to the cashier, I said, Give me all the money from my account.
4
The cashier stopped.
5
The people behind me stopped. And suddenly...
6
Everything felt very serious.
7
I smiled.
8
But inside, I was thinking, Did I say something wrong?
9
In this lesson, you will learn real bank English people use every day
10
and how one sentence can sound very dangerous if you say it the wrong way.
11
Now repeat this sentence with me.
12
I think I misunderstood.
13
Good.
14
Let me tell you what happened that day at the bank.
15
Last week I needed some cash because I had to pay back a friend.
16
She paid for lunch the day before, and I promised her, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
17
It was not a lot of money.
18
But I wanted to keep my promise.
19
Repeat I'll pay you back tomorrow.
20
Good.
21
The next morning, I went to an ATM near my apartment.
22
I felt calm because I did not need to speak to anyone.
23
I only had to use the machine: card in, pin number, money out, Simple. At least...
24
That is what I thought.
25
I put my card into the ATM and chose English on the screen.
26
I saw several options.
27
balance, deposit, transfer, and cash.
28
I knew one of them was for taking money out, but I did not stop to remember the exact word.
29
I just followed the screen.
30
Then the machine made a sound I waited for the cache, but a message appeared on the screen.
31
No cash available.
32
I blinked.
33
No cash?
34
In an ATM, Then I understood.
35
The ATM ran out of cash.
36
Repeat.
37
The ATM ran out of cash.
38
Excellent!
39
"Run out of" means there is no more left.
40
The ATM had no more cash inside, and now I had to make a decision.
41
There was a bank branch right next to the ATM.
42
The machine was easy, but inside the bank I had to speak to a real person in English.
43
I looked through the glass doors.
44
There was a teller at the counter, and there were people waiting in line.
45
Suddenly, I felt nervous.
46
I asked myself, What is the correct way to say this in English?
47
I knew "give me money" sounded strange.
48
I knew "take money" sounded too direct.
49
But the correct word disappeared from my mind.
50
repeat The word disappeared from my mind.
51
Good.
52
I took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked inside the bank.
53
I did not know it yet.
54
But the ATM was not the real problem.
55
I walked inside the bank and joined the line.
56
There were only three people in front of me, but somehow the line felt very long.
57
I looked at the teller behind the counter, She was smiling and helping another customer.
58
But I still felt nervous.
59
Speaking to a machine was easy.
60
Speaking to a real person was different.
61
I looked at my phone and opened my banking app.
62
Yes, I had money in my account.
63
Not a lot, but enough to pay back my friend.
64
Repeat.
65
I have enough money in my account.
66
Good.
67
Then, I practiced quietly in my mind.
68
I need money from my account.
69
No. That sounded strange.
70
I want to take money.
71
"'No, that sounded too direct.' I want to remove money.
72
"No, definitely not.
73
The line moved forward.
74
Now there was only one person in front of me, My heart started beating faster.
75
The man behind me sighed loudly.
76
Maybe he was in a hurry.
77
Maybe he was just tired.
78
But now I felt even more pressure.
79
Finally, the teller looked at me and said, Next please I stepped forward and smiled.
80
"Hi," she said kindly.
81
How can I help you today?
82
This was my moment.
83
I opened my mouth.
84
And the correct word disappeared again.
85
So I smiled with full confidence and said,
86
"I need you to give me all the money from my account." The teller stopped moving.
87
Her smile disappeared for one second.
88
The man behind me stopped sighing.
89
The bank suddenly felt very quiet.
90
Repeat.
91
Give me all the money from my account.
92
Good.
93
But be careful!
94
That sentence sounds too strong!
95
The teller looked at me carefully and said, I'm sorry.
96
What do you mean?
97
I felt my face getting warm.
98
I tried to explain.
99
No. No, I mean, it is my money.
100
The teller blinked.
101
Yes, I understand.
102
That did not help.
103
I pointed to my debit card.
104
I have money here.
105
I said, And I want to take it!
106
The man behind me whispered, Do not hold up the line.
107
Hold up the line.
108
That means to delay everyone behind you Repeat.
109
Sorry for holding up the line.
110
Very good.
111
Now I was embarrassed.
112
I was not trying to rob the bank.
113
I was just trying to get $20.
114
But somehow, my English made the situation sound very serious.
115
The teller looked at me kindly and said, Do you mean you would like to withdraw some money?
116
withdraw there it was The word I needed.
117
I nodded quickly.
118
Yes.
119
Yes, exactly.
120
I would like to withdraw some money.
121
"Repeat, I would like to withdraw some money." Excellent!
122
The teller smiled again.
123
No problem.
124
She said.
125
We can help you with that.
126
I smiled, too, but inside I was thinking...
127
Please, let this moment end quickly.
128
But of course, It did not end there.
129
The teller smiled and pulled a small form from under the counter.
130
"Okay," she said.
131
You just need to fill out this form Fill out.
132
That means to complete a form with your information.
133
repeat I need to fill out this form.
134
Good.
135
She handed me the paper and a pen.
136
I looked at the form.
137
Name account number, Amount signature, Simple.
138
But after what I had just said, even a simple form felt difficult.
139
I looked at the line that said, amount.
140
The teller asked, How much would you like to withdraw?
141
withdraw.
142
Now I knew the word.
143
I smiled carefully and said, $20, please.
144
She looked at me.
145
Just $20?
146
I nodded.
147
Yes.
148
Just $20!
149
The man behind me made a small sound.
150
Not a laugh.
151
Not exactly.
152
But.. close I felt my face getting warm again.
153
Repeat.
154
Just $20.
155
Good.
156
The teller smiled kindly.
157
"That is perfectly fine," she said.
158
I looked at the form again and wrote: $20.
159
Then I signed my name.
160
The teller looked at my ID.
161
She checked the account.
162
Then she asked, Is this for anything special?
163
I wanted to explain quickly.
164
"My friend paid for lunch yesterday," I said.
165
"I need to pay her back." "Pay back?" That means to return money you owe someone.
166
Repeat, I need to pay her back.
167
Excellent!
168
The teller nodded.
169
That is nice of you.
170
I smiled.
171
"'Yes, I promised her.' Then I added, I am almost broke, but I keep my promises.
172
The teller laughed softly.
173
broke.
174
That means you have very little money.
175
Repeat.
176
I am almost broke.
177
Good.
178
The man behind me laughed too.
179
This time, it did not feel bad.
180
The tension was finally disappearing.
181
The teller finished typing on her computer and said,
182
"Okay, I can make the withdrawal for you." Make a withdrawal.
183
That is another way to say take money out of your account.
184
repeat I would like to make a withdrawal.
185
Very good.
186
I felt proud.
187
Now I had three better phrases.
188
withdraw money Take out money.
189
Make a withdrawal.
190
"Much better, then.
191
Give me all the money." I almost laughed at myself.
192
Then the teller counted the cash.
193
One $10 bill, two $5 bills, $20!
194
She placed the money on the counter and said, "Here you go." I smiled with relief.
195
Thank you so much.
196
For one second, I thought the hard part was over.
197
But then she looked at me and said, Do you need anything else today?
198
and suddenly, My brain had one more bad idea.
199
The teller looked at me and asked, Do you need anything else today?
200
For one second, I felt confident.
201
too confident.
202
I thought...
203
"Okay, I survived." I can ask one more question.
204
So I looked at her and said, Yes.
205
I want to buy a used car soon, but I do not want to spend all my money.
206
The teller nodded.
207
"That makes sense," she said.
208
Then she smiled and said, You do not want to break the bank.
209
I froze.
210
Break the bank?
211
Break?
212
The bank?
213
I looked around slowly.
214
The walls looked fine.
215
The windows looked fine.
216
The counter looked fine.
217
Nothing was broken.
218
Repeat.
219
Break the bank.
220
Good, but be careful.
221
This phrase does not mean to break a real bank.
222
The teller saw my face and laughed softly.
223
Oh!
224
She said, It means you do not want to spend too much money.
225
I blinked.
226
Oh!
227
Now I understood.
228
To break the bank means to spend too much money or to use too much of your savings.
229
Repeat.
230
I do not want to break the bank.
231
Excellent!
232
I nodded quickly.
233

234

235
The teller smiled.
236
That is a good plan.
237
I felt relieved.
238
Then I looked at the man behind me.
239
He was still waiting.
240
I suddenly remembered the line.
241
"Oh, I am sorry." I said, I did not mean to hold up the line.
242
"'Repeat.
243
I did not mean to hold up the line.' Very good.
244
The man smiled a little.
245
"'No worries,' he said.
246
No worries.
247
That means it is okay.
248
Do not worry.
249
Repeat.
250
No worries.
251
Good.
252
I thanked the teller again and picked up my twenty dollars.
253
My hands were still a little nervous, but my mind felt calmer.
254
I walked away from the counter thinking about all the words I had learned.
255
withdraw, Fill out.
256
Pay back broke Hold up the line!
257
Break the bank.
258

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。
