Part 3.
2
You will hear two food science students called Adam and Rosie starting to plan their presentation on diet and obesity.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
5
OK, Rosie, shall we try to get some ideas together for our presentation on diet and obesity?
6
Sure.
7
I can talk about the experiment I did to see if people can tell the difference between real sugar and artificial sweeteners.
8
Where you gave people drinks with either sugar or artificial sweeteners,
9
and they had to say which they thought it was?
10
Yeah.
11
It took me ages to decide exactly how I'd organise it,
12
especially how I could make sure that people didn't know which drink I was giving them.
13
It was hard to keep track of it all,
14
especially as I had so many people doing it.
15
I had to make sure I kept a proper record of what each person had had.
16
So, could most people tell the difference?
17
Yeah.
18
I hadn't thought that they would be able to, but most people could.
19
Then there's that experiment I did,
20
measuring the fat content of nuts,
21
to see if the nutritional information given on the packet was accurate.
22
The one where you ground up the nuts and mixed them with a chemical to absorb the fat?
23
Yes.
24
My results were a bit problematic.
25
The fat content for that type of nut seemed much lower than it said on the package.
26
But I reckon the package information was right.
27
I think I should probably have ground up the nuts more than I did.
28
It's possible that the scales for weighing the fat weren't accurate enough too.
29
I'd really like to try the experiment again sometime.
30
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
31
you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
32
Thank you.
33
So what can we say about helping people to lose weight?
34
There's a lot we could say about what restaurants could do to reduce obesity.
35
I read that the items at the start of a menu
36
and the items at the end of a menu are much more likely to be chosen than the items in the middle.
37
So if you put the low-calorie items at the beginning and end of the menu,
38
people will probably go for the food with fewer calories without even realising what they're doing.
39
I think food manufacturers could do more to encourage healthy eating.
40
How?
41
Well, when manufacturers put calorie counts of a food on the label,
42
they're sometimes really confusing.
43
And I suspect they do it on purpose,
44
because food that's high in calories tastes better,
45
and so they'll sell more.
46
Yeah, so if you look at the amount of calories in a pizza,
47
they'll give you the calories per quarter pizza,
48
and you think, oh, that's not too bad.
49
But who's going to eat a quarter pizza?
50
Exactly.
51
I suppose another approach to this problem is to get people to exercise more.
52
Right.
53
In England, the current guidelines offer at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week.
54
Now, when you ask them,
55
about 40% of men and 30% of women say they do this.
56
But when you objectively measure the amount of walking they do with motion sensors,
57
you find that only 6% of men and 4% of women do the recommended amount of exercise.
58
Hmm, so you can see why obesity is growing.
59
So how can people be encouraged to take more exercise?
60
Hmm, well, for example, think of the location of stairs in a train station.
61
If people reach the stairs before they reach the escalator when they're leaving the station,
62
they're more likely to take the stairs.
63
And if you increase the width of the stairs,
64
you'll get more people using them at the same time.
65
It's an unconscious process and influenced by minor modifications in their environment.
66
Right.
67
Great.
68
And it might not be a big change,
69
but if it happens every day, it all adds up.
70
Yes.
71
But actually, I'm not sure if we should be talking about exercise in our presentation.
72
Well, we've done quite a bit of reading about it.
73
I know, but it's going to mean we have a very wide focus.
74
And our tutor did say that we need to focus on causes and solutions in terms of nutrition.
75
Oh, I suppose so.
76
And we've got plenty of information about that.
77
OK, well, that will be simpler.
78
So, what shall we do now?
79
We've still got half an hour before our next lecture.
80
Let's think about what we're going to include and what we'll go where.
81
Then we can decide what slides we need.
82
OK, fine.
83
That is the end of part three.
84
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three.
85
Thank you.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、食事と肥満に関するプレゼンテーションの準備を通じて、質問に答える方法を学びます。学生のアダムとロージーが話し合う中で、人工甘味料と本物の砂糖の違いを試す実験や、食品の栄養表示の正確性についての実験が取り上げられます。これにより、リスニングスキルを向上させながら、専門的な語彙と表現を習得することができます。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- ダイエット - 食事療法
- 肥満 - 肥満状態
- 実験 - 実験、テスト
- 栄養情報 - 食品の栄養に関する情報
- カロリー - 食品のエネルギー量
- 人工甘味料 - 人工的に作られた甘味料
- 記録 - データを記録すること
- 誘導する - 誰かを特定の方向に導くこと
練習のコツ
この動画の速度やトーンに合わせて練習を行うことで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。具体的には、shadowspeakを活用して、アダムとロージーの会話を真似しましょう。最初はゆっくりとした速度で声に出してみてください。その後、少しずつ速度を上げ、動画のリズムに合わせて話せるようにしましょう。
特に、以下の点を意識して練習すると効果的です：
- 発音やイントネーションを正確に模倣する
- 会話のスピードを調整して、自然に聞こえるようにする
- 繰り返し練習することで、フレーズを体に覚えさせる
- 自分の声を録音して、再生しながら改善点を探る
このように、YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、実際の会話を数多く体験することが大切です。特に、IELTS スピーキング対策としても非常に有用な練習方法です。自信を持って英語を話せるようになるために、これらのテクニックを取り入れてみてください。
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。
