1
Suppose your town is about to choose a new mayor.
2
How will you do it?
3
You'll vote.
4
Voting is a way to choose.
5
You can vote for favorite books, movie stars, candy bars, or even puppies.
6
If someone wants to be elected mayor, she needs to convince as many people as possible to vote for her.
7
Many people just don't vote.
8
Why not?
9
Maybe they think their vote is like a little drop of water in an enormous ocean.
10
Their vote is only one out of many, many votes.
11
But sometimes, the winner of an election is decided by just a few votes.
12
Who decided who could vote?
13
When this country began, the Founding Fathers wrote a constitution.
14
It said how we would govern ourselves.
15
It said people should vote, but it didn't say who could vote.
16
That was left to each state to decide, and that was a problem.
17
Angry people protested.
18
They wrote letters.
19
They held rallies and made speeches.
20
They marched, were arrested, and went on hunger strikes.
21
Some were killed trying to claim their right to vote.
22
But it took many years, four amendments to the Constitution, and several new laws before all citizens,
23
18 years or older, were allowed to vote.
24
If you want to vote, you need to register. Where?
25
At your town office.
26
Or you can download a registration form from the Internet
27
or you might even find a booth set up at a shopping mall or at a political rally.
28
Do you want to join a political party?
29
You've probably heard of the Democrats and the Republicans, but you could join the Green Party, the Libertarians, the America First Party,
30
or the Progressives, to name just a few.
31
Or you could be independent and not join any party at all.
32
Before you vote, you'll need to find out about the different candidates.
33
How?
34
Read newspapers, watch TV news, listen to the radio, or surf the Internet.
35
Do you agree with their ideas?
36
How do we know if Chris will be a good mayor?
37
She lets us sleep on the couch.
38
That's important.
39
You might have a chance to hear the candidates' debate.
40
You might even be able to ask questions.
41
We need new schools.
42
Classes are being held in halls.
43
There you go again, spending our money.
44
Before an election, everyone tries to guess who will win.
45
Pollsters ask some of the voters whom they're planning to vote for.
46
Then they estimate who will be the winner
47
but voters can change their minds someone just called to ask who i'm voting for and you said
48
maybe brown what but smith is so much better that pollster should have asked me
49
do you need help we sure do we have to mail 14 000 letters by tonight
50
We're hoping you'll vote for Chris Smith.
51
How can you help your candidate win?
52
You can volunteer to answer phones, call voters, address envelopes, or hand out flyers.
53
Campaigns need lots of help.
54
And they need lots of money to help pay for phones, computers, stamps, flyers, and bumper stickers.
55
And most of all, ads and more ads.
56
Where will they find the money?
57
What do the letters say?
58
Please vote for Chris Smith and please donate money.
59
You might want to donate a few dollars to your favorite candidate's campaign.
60
Or maybe you'll be invited to a fundraising dinner.
61
Would you like to pay $250 for a fancy hamburger and a chance to meet the candidate?
62
Thank you if you donate lots of money maybe the candidate will listen to you more than to other voters
63
is that fair does
64
that mean your vote will count more than other voters votes
65
there's a lot of disagreement about this by the last week of the campaign everyone is tired
66
but the candidates make more speeches they shake more hands
67
and they run more
68
and more ads maybe just maybe they will convince another few
69
voters to vote for them see we keep hearing Smith wants to spend all our money
70
that worries me Chris Smith wants to spend your money that's
71
an ad for Brown he's trying to worry us save your
72
money vote for bill brown honest reliable a nice guy honest that ad isn't honest brown makes sense to me
73
some of these ads can be very misleading
74

75
Please sign in here, your name.
76
Dad, are you voting for Mom?
77
He'd better vote for me.
78
Why do they have to sign in?
79
Most voters are assigned a particular place to vote, a school, a library, a church basement, wherever there is space for voting booths.
80
What if you're away on voting day?
81
You can get an absentee ballot in advance.
82
Some places let people vote by mail or on the internet.
83
A few places set up voting machines early.
84
But however you vote, you get just one vote.
85
You can't go back and vote again.
86
to check if they're registered and to make sure they vote only once.
87
In most places, people use voting machines.
88
Many cities and towns are replacing old machines with new electronic ones.
89
But in very small towns, voters still mark paper ballots with a pencil.
90
However you do it, you'll vote in a private booth truth.
91
No one can see how you vote." There's lots to vote for,
92
the mayor and city council, and a question.
93
Should dogs be on leashes in public places?
94
I finally decided, but don't ask.
95
Votes are secret." He voted for Brown.
96
You peaked.
97
When the voting ends, the counting begins.
98
Who will win?

100
Usually a few hours after the polls close, the winner is announced.
101
Looks like Brown is winning.
102
Oh no, but there are still lots more votes to count.
103
And the winner is my mom.
104
Congratulations, Madam Mayor.
105
I'll be Mayor Dog.
106
We won! But wait.
107
What if the election is won by only a few votes?
108
The candidate who lost can ask that the votes be counted again.
109
Then it could take a few days or longer to carefully recount the ballots and find out who really won.
110
Uh -oh, Brown wants a recount?
111
I'll tell her.
112
What's wrong?
113
I won by just 105 votes out of 35 ,000.
114
That's why Bill Brown wants a recount.
115
Do you think Chris will lose?
116
She might.
117
At last, the election is decided.
118
In the end, someone does win.
119
And someone does lose.
120
The votes have been recounted.
121
Bill Brown was correct.
122
Mistakes were made.
123
Smith actually has 203 votes more than Brown.
124
Almost half the voters don't want Chris to be mayor.
125
Look at the bright side.
126
Slightly more than half do want her.
127
Brown lost.
128
I guess we won't get a new stadium.
129
But we might build new schools.
130
I'm going to write a letter to Chris Smith and tell her why this town needs a stadium.
131
She needs to listen to all the voters.
132
You aren't happy?
133
You wish the other candidate had won?
134
Well, remember, the mayor works for everyone, even the people who didn't vote for her.
135
She'll need to listen to all the voters.
136
After she is sworn in, the new mayor will have a few years to do her new job.
137
What are they doing?
138
Chris is being sworn in as mayor.
139
I promise to do my best.
140
She won't please all the people all the time, but if she does a good job, maybe the voters will elect her again.
141
I wonder if I'll be sworn in as mayor, dog.
142
Who says you get to be mayor, dog?
143
What about me?
144

このレッスンで練習できること
このビデオを使って、「投票」に関する日常的な会話や説明を英語で理解し、話す力を鍛えましょう。選挙のプロセス、投票の重要性、政治的な用語など、実用的な内容を通じて、英語スピーキング練習に最適な題材を学びます。また、シャドーイングをすることで、自然な発音やリズムを身につけることもできます。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- vote：投票する、票を投じる
- convince：説得する、納得させる
- amendment：改正、修正（憲法の場合など）
- register：登録する、届け出る（投票登録など）
- candidate：候補者
- debate：討論、論戦（候補者同士の）
シャドーイングのコツ
このビデオのスピードは穏やかで、日常会話に近いため、英語シャドーイングの初心者にも適しています。まずはビデオを聞きながら、発音のアクセントやイントネーションに注目してください。特に「enormous ocean」や「political rally」などの連続した単語の発音を確認し、自分で繰り返し練習しましょう。
シャドーイングをする際は、1文ずつ止めて繰り返す方法が効果的です。「Their vote is only one out of many, many votes.」のような長い文は、途中で区切って練習し、全体の流れを把握してから一気に話すことで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。また、IELTS スピーキング対策としても、このような実用的なトピックを使って議論する練習をすると、論理的な話し方が身につきます。
最後に、shadowing site などを利用して、自分の発音を録音して比較することもおすすめです。少しずつ慣れてくると、自然な英語表現が口から出てくるようになります。

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。
