Part 3.
2
You will hear two veterinary science students called Diana and Tim discussing their work placements and their course modules.
3
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
5
So, Tim, we have to do a short summary of our work experience on a farm.
6
Right.
7
My farm was great, but arranging the work experience was hard.
8
One problem was it was miles away and I don't drive.
9
And also, I'd really wanted a placement for a month,
10
but I could only get one for two weeks.
11
I was lucky.
12
The farmer let me stay on the farm,
13
so I didn't have to travel.
14
But finding the right sort of farm to apply to wasn't easy.
15
No, they don't seem to have websites, do they?
16
I found mine through a friend of my mother's, but it wasn't easy.
17
No. My farm was mostly livestock, especially sheep.
18
I really enjoyed helping out with them.
19
I was up most of one night helping a sheep deliver a lamb.
20
On your own?
21
No, the farmer was there,
22
and he told me what to do.
23
It wasn't a straightforward birth, but I managed.
24
It was a great feeling to see the lamb stagger to its feet and start feeding almost straight away,
25
and to know that it was okay.
26
Then another time, a lamb had broken its leg,
27
and they got the vet in to set it,
28
and he talked me through what he was doing.
29
That was really useful.
30
Yes, my farm had sheep too.
31
The farm was in a valley,
32
and they had a lowland breed called Suffolk's,
33
although the farmer said they'd had other breeds in the past.
34
So were they bred for their meat?
35
Mostly, yes.
36
They're quite big and solid.
37
My farm was up in the hills,
38
and they had a different breed of sheep.
39
They were cheviots.
40
Oh, I heard their wools really sought after.
41
Yes, it's very hard-wearing, and they use it for carpets.
42
Right.
43
I was interested in the amount of supplements they add to animals' feed nowadays.
44
Like, even the chickens got extra vitamins and electrolytes in their feed.
45
Yes, I found that too.
46
And they're not cheap.
47
But my farmer said some are overpriced for what they are,
48
And he didn't give them as a matter of routine,
49
just at times when the chickens seemed to particularly require them.
50
Yes, Mai said the same.
51
He said certain breeds of chickens might need more supplements than the others,
52
but the cheap and expensive ones are all basically the same.
53
So, did your farm have any other livestock, Diana?
54
Yes, dairy cows.
55
I made a really embarrassing mistake when I was working in the milk shed.
56
Some cows had been treated with antibiotics,
57
so their milk wasn't suitable for human consumption,
58
and it had to be put in a separate container.
59
But I got mixed up,
60
and I poured some milk from the wrong cow in with the milk for humans,
61
so the whole lot had to be thrown away.
62
The farmer wasn't too happy with me.
63
I asked my farmer how much he depended on the vet to deal with health problems.
64
I'd read reports that the livestock's health is being affected as farmers are under pressure to increase production.
65
Well, he didn't agree with that,
66
but he said that actually some of the stuff the vets do,
67
like minor operations, he'd be quite capable of doing himself.
68
Yeah, my farmer said the same,
69
but he reckons vet skills are still needed.
70
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
71
you have some time to look at questions 27-30.
72
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
73
Now we've got to give a bit of feedback about last term's modules,
74
just short comments apparently.
75
Shall we do that now?
76
OK.
77
So, medical terminology.
78
Well, my heart sank when I saw that,
79
especially right at the beginning of the course,
80
and I did struggle with it.
81
I thought it'd be hard,
82
but actually I found it all quite straightforward.
83
What did you think about diet and nutrition?
84
OK, I suppose.
85
Do you remember what they told us about pet food
86
and the fact that there's such limited checking into whether or not it's contaminated?
87
I mean, in comparison with the checks on food for humans,
88
I thought that was terrible.
89
Hmm.
90
I think the module that really impressed me was the animal disease one.
91
When we looked at domesticated animals in different parts of the world,
92
like camels and water buffalo and alpaca,
93
the economies of so many countries depend on these,
94
but scientists don't know much about the diseases that affect them.
95
Yes.
96
I thought they'd know a lot about ways of controlling and eradicating those diseases,
97
but that's not the case at all.
98
I loved the wildlife medication unit.
99
Things like helping birds that have been caught in oil spills.
100
That's something I hadn't thought about before.
101
Yeah.
102
I thought I might write my dissertation on something connected with that.
103
Right.
104
So, actually, I was thinking something along the same lines...
105
That is the end of part three.
106
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three.

この動画で話す練習をする理由は？
この動画では、獣医学を専攻する学生たちが実習での体験について話し合っています。実習の内容や職場での経験を共有することは、英語スピーキングのスキルを向上させるのに役立ちます。特に、リアルな会話形式の中で語彙を学ぶことができ、動物や農業に関する専門用語も習得できます。英語シャドーイングの練習を通じて、発音や流暢さを改善し、IELTS スピーキング対策としても非常に有効です。YouTubeで英語学習を進める上で、実際の会話を真似ることは、リスニング力とスピーキング力の双方を鍛える絶好の機会です。
文法と表現の文脈
この動画の中には、聴取者が実習についての経験を語る際に使われるいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現があります。以下のようなポイントに注目しましょう。
- 過去形の使用：学生たちは過去の経験を振り返って話しています。「It was a great feeling to see...」のように、過去の出来事を表現するための過去形が多く使用されています。
- 不定詞の活用：目的を表すために「to...」を使った表現があります。「to apply to」や「to set it」といったフレーズは、英語学習でよく使われる構文です。
- 経験を表す言い回し：「I managed to...」や「I found that...」など、経験を述べる際のフレーズが頻繁に登場し、実際の会話でも非常によく使われます。
一般的な発音のトラップ
動画内には、英語の発音において注意すべきいくつかのトラップがあります。特に、獣医学や農業に関連する特定の用語の発音は、言語学習者にとって挑戦的です。
- 単語「Suffolk」の発音：この地名は、難しい母音と子音の組み合わせがあるため、特に注意が必要です。
- 「Cheviots」の発音：この羊の品種名も、外国語での発音に馴染みがないと、発音が難しい部分です。
- 略語やスラングの使用：会話の中で使われる略語は、リスニング時に聞き逃す原因になることがあるため、注意しましょう。
これらの要素に焦点を当てることで、英語の発音を良くすることができ、さらにshadowing siteを利用して発音を改善する効果が期待できます。
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。
