1
I win again!
2
That is because you always cheat.
3
Just like your father.
4
Look what you have trained our son to do.
5
Hello.
6
Earth to Todd.
7
What?
8
What are we talking about?
9
I'm talking about how you trained our son to cheat.
10
You're just mad that you never win, Mom.
11
I'm going to get a different board game.
12
...and I know as you have medicine, but also that you have been hydrated in the last week.
13
Hey, is everything okay?
14
You've been pretty quiet the last few days.
15
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
16
I just, um...
17
I need to talk to you about something.. important.
18
Okay.
19
What's up?
20
Um, I don't...
21
I don't really know how to say this, but, um...
22
Uh, I just found out...
23
You wanna get the door?
24
You wanna use the bathroom?
25
Yeah!
26
Okay.
27
Hi.
28
What are you doing here?
29
I got the proof that you asked me for.
30
You're 100% matched, Todd.
31
I know this is stressful.
32
Of course this is stressful.
33
You have no idea what I'm going through right now.
34
Dad!
35
Dad!
36
Look, you have to go.
37
My wife and my son are inside right now.
38
No. We need to talk about this right now.
39
There's something that I need, okay?
40
So I'm not leaving.
41
I can't talk right now.
42
I can't.
43
You have to go.
44
Okay, look.
45
I'll meet you at the Bullseye in an hour.
46
And we can talk about everything then.
47
Okay.
48
Well, who was it?
49
Oh, um, it was Girl Scouts.
50
I was gonna buy you some cookies, but they were all out of the Thin Mint.
51
Oh man, they always go so fast. So fast.
52
Can we play now?
53
Unfortunately, buddy, I gotta go to the Sky Rose Mall, so I can't.
54
I gotta pick something up.
55
Ooh, I wanna go with you.
56
I heard they opened a new Lululemon store.
57
I need to check it out.
58
Oh, no, uh, no, I mean, I'm actually picking up a surprise thing for you so you cannot go unfortunately.
59
Aww, surprise.
60
I like the sound of that.
61
Well, at least take Bobby with you.
62
He needs to get out of the house.
63
Yes!
64
Please, Dad!
65
Please, please!
66
OK, OK, bud.
67
Go get your coat and I'll be in the car outside, all right?
68
Um, do you need anything?
69
No. I'm just happy not to have to play another board game. So stressful.
70
You know how much I hate when people cheat.
71
Yeah.
72
Alright bud, why don't you go in there, get a video game and I'll be right out here, okay?
73
But why aren't you gonna come with- How about this?
74
You stop asking questions and you can get any video game you like.
75
Are you serious?
76
Oh yeah, go nuts.
77
Okay.
78
Alright, take your time.
79
He showed up.
80
Yeah, well, it's not like I had a choice.
81
I mean, you know, you had to meet today.
82
What is she doing here?
83
I thought that you were going to come alone.
84
I didn't have anyone to watch her, okay?
85
Plus I think you should meet her.
86
Hi.
87
Bella, this is...
88
I'm Todd.
89
I'm friends with your mom.
90
Mom, can I go look at the toys?
91
Sure, honey.
92
But we can't buy anything, so come right back, okay?
93
They've got to tell her eventually.
94
Well, today is not the day, because I'm still trying to process this myself. So what is it?
95
Need money?
96
Not exactly.
97
I...
98
I need you to take Bella for a while.
99
We're losing our apartment.
100
I can't have her living on the streets.
101
Are you kidding me?
102
I can't take her.
103
You're her father, Todd.
104
Not by choice.
105
You think that I chose to be a single mom?
106
Or for any of this?
107
This isn't how I imagined my life to be either.
108
But Bella is here, and I would not change that for the world.
109
I know this sucks and you just want it to all go away.
110
But do you want your daughter living on the streets?
111
Kids shouldn't have to suffer for their parents' choices.
112
How much is your rent?
113
It's $900.
114
And I really don't want to accept money from you.
115
I just, if you can watch her for a while it- I don't have enough cash.
116
Look, I can wire you, you know, a couple months' rent.
117
You know, and then you can go to the bank on Monday. That won't work.
118
One day's the eviction, so it'll be too late.
119
What do you want me to do?
120
Well, like I said, you can take her.
121
And then that way I can just...
122
No!
123
Look, I can write you a check, okay?
124
But this is just an insurance policy, okay?
125
So you know that I'm good for it.
126
But whatever you do, do not cash this.
127
Alright.
128
I'll be there with the money on Monday.
129
All right.
130
Thanks.
131
I really feel bad even accepting this from you.
132
What I've got to do is best for Bella.
133
For our daughter. Whose daughter?
134
So what I'm trying to say is...
135
I have a sister, but she has a different mom?
136
Yeah.
137
And she's your half-sister.
138
Her name's Bella.
139
Look, Bud, I know that this is a lot to take in.
140
So does Mom now?
141
I love you here like this.
142
I'm gonna have you tonight.
143
Just go ahead.
144
I'm hungry.
145
Oh, sweetheart.
146
Hello?
147
We barely have enough money for the bus fare, baby.
148
Can you please just wait till we get home?
149
But I'm hungry now.
150
I can't wait anymore.
151
Okay, okay, okay.
152
Come here.
153
Hold on.
154
Go.
155
Let's go.
156
So what I'm trying to say is, I'm going to tell your mom.
157
But don't you always say to me that it's bad for us to keep secrets from each other?
158
Yes, that's true.
159
But I'm not keeping any secrets right now.
160
I just need a little bit more time, right?
161
So if you could, don't say anything about Bella or Jada.
162
Anything that happened.
163
Who's Jada?
164
Olivia.
165
Oh.
166
Hey, champ.
167
You think you can give me a minute? So Jada...
168
Don't even try to lie to me.
169
I just got off the phone with the bank.
170
Somebody named Jada just tried to cash a check for $1,800?
171
She said you gave it to her today.
172
Honey, I know how this looks.
173
But it's not what you think.
174
I just overheard your conversation with Bobby.
175
You have a daughter that you never told me about?
176
And you're trying to get our son to lie to me about it?
177
You are unbelievable!
178
I know, I know!
179
I was trying to tell you this morning.
180
I just needed more information.
181
Look, I didn't want to hurt you.
182
You didn't want to hurt me?
183
Instead you lie to me, you sneak around behind my back, and you keep the biggest secret from me that we have ever had?
184
Your disgrace.
185
Nivia, give me a chance to explain.
186
There is nothing left to say.
187
Get out. Are you serious?
188
Get out, Todd!
189
Just give me a chance to explain.
190
Just go.
191
Ah.
192
It's her.
193
Isn't it? Of course it is.
194
You are such a liar!
195
Out!
196
Now!
197
Hey, Mom, can I have some more cereal?
198
Yes, baby.
199
You can have as much as you want.
200
Hi.
201
Can I help you?
202
Um, you must be Jada.
203
I'm Todd's wife.
204
Bella, can you go finish your cereal in our room, babe?
205
Okay.
206
Thank you.
207
Come in.
208
Sorry. Have a seat.
209
Thank you. Of course.
210
She's a lot older than I thought she'd be.
211
I'm so sorry for all of this.
212
I know it's a lot.
213
It is a lot.
214
I feel blindsided and embarrassed.
215
I'm married to someone who's been hiding this from me for years.
216
Years?
217
Well, yeah, I mean, she must be 11 or 12 years old.
218
I can't believe him.
219
You're right.
220
She is 11.
221
But Todd hasn't been lying to you.
222
Let me tell you what happened.
223
You see, a long time ago, I met Todd at a party.
224
We talked and immediately hit it off.
225
From there, things just moved really fast.
226
too fast.
227
We dated for a little while, but it didn't work out.
228
So we ended up breaking up.
229
And then a few months later, I found out I was pregnant.
230
I was gonna reach out to Todd just to let him know, but he wasn't a part of my life anymore.
231
So I decided not to.
232
And for a long time, I raised my girl all on my own.
233
It wasn't easy, but I managed.
234
When things got really hard, that's when I lost my job.
235
I couldn't even afford groceries and I fell behind on all of my bills.
236
It got to the point where I was about to lose my apartment.
237
As a mom, I don't mind struggling.
238
But the thought of my little girl living on the street?
239
Oh, that's too much for me to handle.
240
So I did the last thing that I wanted to do.
241
I reached out to Todd for help. So you see?
242
You see?
243
I didn't want to interfere in you guys' lives.
244
Trust me, I am not the type of person who wants to ask for help.
245
It's just that all this just happened a few days ago.
246
Todd didn't know anything until recently.
247
What did he say when you told him?
248
He asked for proof that she was his kid first, Which I showed him yesterday.
249
And he still didn't want to be involved.
250
So I told him that kids shouldn't have to suffer for their parents' choices.
251
Then he gave in.
252
Mom, I just wanted to tell you, even if we get kicked out of our apartment, it's gonna be okay.
253
As long as we're still together.
254
Maybe we don't have to leave anymore.
255
This nice lady and her husband, they helped us.
256
Hey.
257
Hey, Jan!
258
Hey, look, thanks for inviting me over.
259
I understand you're upset. And...
260
It's totally understandable, but...
261
What are they doing?
262
What's going on?
263
I, um, I invited them over.
264
After I kicked you out, I went and visited Jada.
265
And she told me everything.
266
Including how you just found out about Bella.
267
Which is no excuse for why you didn't tell me right away the moment you knew.
268
Oh, you're right.
269
You are right.
270
I just needed proof.
271
You know, and I was trying to find a way to, like, to let you know, and it's not an excuse, and I'm sorry.
272
I know this was a lot for you to take in.
273
But kids shouldn't have to suffer because of their parents' choices. So, I have decided...
274
I want Bella in our lives.
275
I love you, honey.
276
Hi, Bella.
277
It's really nice to meet you.
278
Um...
279
I'm, uh...
280
I'm your dad.
281
It's nice to meet you too, Dad.
282
You know, funny enough, we always wanted a daughter and Tell you I'm gonna be the best dad that I can.
283
He's a really good dad what he isn't keeping secrets.
284
Okay, well, we're just gonna get out of your hair.
285
We don't want to take up too much more of your time.
286
Wait, but at least stay for dinner.
287
Yes!
288
Oh, we can't play board games?
289
Do you know how to play Monopoly?
290
Yes!
291
I love thinking, can you please, Mom?
292
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
293
Sure, honey, we can stay.
294
Yes!
295
But I must warn you, she, she...
296
I heard that.
297
Bobby does the exact same thing.
298
Wow.
299
Well, you two are definitely siblings.
300
you

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由

このビデオは、家庭内のダイナミクスとコミュニケーションの重要性を強調しています。登場人物たちの会話には、親子間や夫婦間の感情が詰まっており、実生活でのスピーキングスキル向上に役立ちます。相手の感情を理解し、自分の考えを堂々と表現することは、英会話での自信を深めるために不可欠です。特に、家庭や友人との会話を模倣することで、実際のコミュニケーションに近い状況を体験できるため、"shadow speak"や"shadow speech"の技法を使用して練習することをお勧めします。

文法と文脈での表現

ビデオの中で使われているいくつかの重要な構造を分析します。これにより、実際の会話の中での表現力を向上させる手助けになります。

  • 疑問文の使用: 例として、「どうしたの?」や「何か話したいことがあるの?」というフレーズがあり、相手に興味を持って接する方法を示しています。
  • 否定文: 「できない」といった否定表現は、感情を強調する際に非常に有用です。特にストレスを抱えているシーンでは、文脈に応じた使い方が重要です。
  • 感情を表現する形容詞: 「ストレスフル」や「静かだ」という言葉は、自己表現を豊かにし、相手に自分の感情を伝える際に役立ちます。
  • 現在進行形: 「話している」というように、現在進行形を使うことで、行動の進行中の様子を強調することができます。

一般的な発音の罠

ビデオの中でよく聞かれる発音のトラップについて考えましょう。特に注意すべきは以下のポイントです。

  • 感情のこもったセリフ: 感情の強いセリフでは、声のトーンやアクセントが変わることが多いです。これにより、同じフレーズでも異なる意味合いを持つ場合があります。
  • 連結音: 話し言葉では、単語どうしが連結して発音されることが多々あります。例えば、「私が知っている」の「私がが知って」に近い音になることがあります。
  • ストレスとリズム: 背景の感情や状況に応じて、ストレスを置く場所(強調する部分)が変わるため、実際の会話を真似て、リズムを意識することが大切です。

これらのポイントを意識しつつ、会話を模倣することで、"shadowspeak"や"shadowspeaks"の効果を最大限に引き出し、スピーキングのスキルを向上させることができるでしょう。

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。
