Little Fox Monster Academy.
2
The mystery of the crashing brooms.
3
Chapter 1.
4
The First Day.
5
It was Ben's first day of school at Monster Academy.
6
He floated into the auditorium for the first day assembly.
7
Inside, he saw some other ghosts,
8
along with a crowd of goblins, zombies, and other monsters.
9
Everyone was talking loudly.
10
Ben, over here!
11
Ben easily spotted the giant who was waving to him.
12
Ben shot over to her.
13
I'm glad you're here, Gabby,
14
said Ben as he sat down next to her.
15
You're the only one I know and...
16
Crash!
17
Ben stopped talking.
18
So did all the other monsters around him.
19
A two-headed monster looked up at the ceiling.
20
What made that sound?
21
Asked one of her heads.
22
I don't know.
23
Answered her other head.
24
It sounded like a giant landed on the roof of the school.
25
Said a goblin.
26
Maybe it's my mom, Gabby whispered to Ben with a giggle.
27
Ben grinned.
28
Gabby's mom was a giant, just like Gabby.
29
But Ben was pretty sure she wasn't on the roof of the school.
30
Mr. Freaky, the school principal, rushed onto the stage.
31
He was tall and thin,
32
and he had three noses.
33
Monsters, please be seated.
34
Everything is totally under control.
35
Mr. Freaky loves to say that everything is under control, Gabby whispered.
36
But what he really means is that everything is totally out of control.
37
Ben laughed.
38
It was lucky that his family had moved next door to Gabby over the summer.
39
Gabby had told Ben nearly everything he needed to know about Monster Academy.
40
All the students and teachers are monsters,
41
just like us, she had explained.
42
The principal is pretty nice,
43
as long as you don't get in trouble.
44
The office ogre is friendly too,
45
unless she gets really busy.
46
After all, she only has four arms.
47
Ben looked around the crowded auditorium again.
48
Most of the students were still talking.
49
A few ghosts in the last row were batting around a ball of paper.
50
Mr. Freaky clapped his hands for silence.
51
Please don't worry about the loud crash.
52
I'm sure it was just another broom.
53
A murmur went through the crowd.
54
What is Mr. Freaky talking about?
55
Asked a troll.
56
We've had a few incidents involving flying brooms this morning.
57
Mr. Freaky went on.
58
But let's forget about that for now.
59
Your 8th grade class president,
60
Waldo Wiz, would like to say a few words.
61
Monsters whistled and shouted as a young wizard approached the microphone.
62
Gabby's eyes lit up.
63
Waldo's amazing! she gushed.
64
He's so cute!
65
Plus he's super smart, and he can do all kinds of magic.
66
Waldo waved to the crowd.
67
This is going to be a fabulous school year, he began.
68
We have two new after-school clubs.
69
Marching band and spellcasting.
70
And the first dance is coming up soon.
71
The Monster Mash dance will be held in a few weeks,
72
so don't forget to show your best school spirit and participate in all our great activities.
73
The crowd cheered again.
74
Waldo handed the microphone to Mr. Freaky.
75
Settle down, students, said Mr. Freaky.
76
Before you go to class,
77
I have some news about People Place.
78
There's a new mayor.
79
People, places, creepy, murmured a skeleton.
80
In the next row, a four-eyed monster leaned toward a three-eyed monster.
81
I heard the new mayor is really scary looking.
82
He only has two eyes.
83
Ew, gross, replied the three-eyed monster.
84
Ben knew that Monsterville was next to a town inhabited by people.
85
A huge wooden fence separated the two towns.
86
His parents had warned him and his brother Sid to stay away from that fence.
87
But he didn't know anything about the mayor.
88
Mr. Freaky was still talking.
89
I've been told that Mayor Hubbeltree doesn't like monsters,
90
so we must be extra careful not to upset him.
91
Remember, Monster Academy was built on land owned by People Place.
92
If we scare the people,
93
they could force us to leave our school.
94
The two-headed monster raised her hand.
95
I was near People Place last week, said one head.
96
A human kid saw me and screamed.
97
I wasn't even doing anything, said the other head.
98
Mr. Freaky nodded.
99
Unfortunately, some people get scared just looking at monsters.
100
Now please exit quietly, monsters,
101
and enjoy your first day of school.
102
It's going to be a wonderful school year.
103
Ben and Gabby exchanged looks.
104
And everything is totally under total control.
105
They said at the same time, laughing.
106
They headed out of the auditorium.
107
Ben thought it was fun to kid around with Gabby,
108
and so far, Monster Academy seemed really cool.
109
But he had to admit that a few things were worrying him.
110
The principal seemed nervous, and empty brooms were crashing around the school.
111
Plus, People Place had a new mayor,
112
one who didn't like monsters.

なぜこのビデオでスピーキングを練習する必要があるのか？
「Monster Academy」の最初の日を描いたこのビデオは、冒険的な物語を通じて英語を学ぶ素晴らしい方法です。特に、物語の中のキャラクターたちの対話は、自然な会話の流れを理解するのに役立ちます。スピーキングの練習を通じて、IELTS スピーキング対策にも効果的です。リアルな状況を模した会話を聴き、登場人物の感情や状況を理解することで、リスニング力とスピーキング力を同時に向上させることができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
このビデオから学べるいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現を分析しましょう。
- 疑問文の使い方: 「What made that sound?」のような疑問文は、会話の中での疑問や不安を示すために有効です。
- 条件節: 「as long as you don’t get in trouble」の部分は、条件と結果の関係を示します。このような表現は、日常会話でも頻繁に使われます。
- 直訳的な会話: 「You’re the only one I know」という表現は、親しい友達に対する感謝の気持ちを伝える方法です。感情を伝える際の良いアプローチです。
- 連続したアクション: 「Ben laughed. It was lucky that his family moved next door」というように、複数の動作を連続して述べることは、話の流れをスムーズにします。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオの中には、発音が難しい言葉やフレーズがあります。これらに注意することで、より自然な英語を話せるようになります。
- “auditorium”: 「オーディトリアム」と聞こえますが、実際の発音は「オディトリアム」に近いです。
- “principal”: 「プリンシパル」と発音されますが、ここでは特に強調されない部分に注意を払いましょう。
- 二頭のモンスターの会話: 彼女の頭が二つあるため、言葉が交錯する場面があります。この部分を繰り返し聴くことで、リズム感を養えます。
これらのポイントを意識して英語シャドーイングを実践すれば、効果的に発音やリズムを鍛えることができるでしょう。shadow speaksやshadowspeaksという手法を取り入れて、スピーキング力を一気に向上させましょう。
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。
