Hi and welcome to another one of our Lexical Lab videos exploring different aspects of everyday spoken English.
2
I'm speaking from North London
3
and one of the funny things about living in London is
4
the problems students often have in talking about the river that runs through London, the Thames.
5
Students often say things like the Thames.
6
Strangely though actually when we talk about the river we generally just refer to it as the water.
7
So for example for me I grew up south of the water but now I live in North London.
8
When I'm driving with my kids I might tell them as we go under a tunnel
9
that we're going under the water or we're now on the other side of the water.
10
When I'm pointing I might say yeah
11
if you look across the water over there you go on a bridge over the water
12
and in the same way you can use this to talk about rivers where you live.
13
Thank you very much.

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。
