1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at the sentence intonation and pitch changes in my sample answer to, do you think celebrities are different now compared to before?
4
Let's take a look.
5
I don't know if there are any particular differences.
6
I don't know if.
7
I don't know if.
8
That's a low and even tone.
9
I don't know if there are.
10
If there are.
11
I'm kind of stressing that because I'm answering the question, do you think there are?
12
And my answer is, I don't know if there are any particular differences.
13
So I kind of go higher on are.
14
I don't know if there are any particular differences.
15
Particular differences.
16
So on ti and di, we stress those syllables, and so everything else kind of becomes lower and flatter.
17
Particular differences. is.
18
Certainly not in looks or personality.
19
Certainly, certainly not in, certainly not in looks or personality.
20
Personality, looks or personality, looks or personality.
21
So those words not in and or become de-stressed.
22
Celebrity culture has probably been the same for a long time.
23
Probably been, probably been the same, probably been the same for a long time.
24
For a long time, for a long time.
25
When you have that set phrase for a long time, you can usually use this intonation.
26
For a long time, for a, for a.
27
These words for a uh, get de-stressed a lot.
28
Though I suppose, today it does seem.
29
Today it does seem.
30
I'm stressing does because I'm kind of contrasting with my previous point.
31
I said celebrity culture hasn't changed, but then I say, hmm, it does seem.
32
It does seem.
33
And I kind of say the opposite point.
34
It does seem like there are more celebrities and more of them, more celebrities and more of them,
35
and more of them, and more of them are famous just for being famous.
36
So we go a little bit higher on just.
37
Famous just for being famous.
38
Famous just for being famous.
39
There might be.
40
There might be.
41
This phrase intonation can work really well in a lot of sentences.
42
There might be.
43
There might be.
44
There might be.
45
There might be.
46
There might be more people now who can be.
47
There might be more people now who can be.
48
More people now who can be.
49
More people now who can be.
50
More people now who can be famous, because of the proliferation.
51
Because of the proliferation.
52
Because of the proliferation of social media and television.
53
Social media and television.
54
Social media and television.
55
We stay high on social media because we're comparing with television.
56
Social media and television.
57
So we go low on and to break those up.
58
It's not social media and television.
59
Social media and television television.
60
We kind of go down to give some rhythm to the sentence.
61
Even if they might not have been famous before.
62
Even if they might not have been famous before.
63
We kind of go down, or we stress, famous before.
64
Famous people.
65
Famous people.
66
Famous people in the...
67
Famous people in the past.
68
Famous people in the past.
69
So we kind of go down three levels here.
70
Famous people in the past, famous people in the past probably needed some sort of unique gift.
71
Probably needed some sort of unique gift.
72
Probably needed some sort of unique gift to be able to attain fame.
73
To be able to.
74
Again, to be able to.
75
In the previous video, you saw how this set of four words got de-stressed and the vowels and consonants changed.
76
Well, the pitch does too.
77
They all go down to a low tone, and we say it very quickly.
78
To be able to, to be able to, to be able to attain fame, whereas that seems less important,
79
whereas that seems, whereas that seems less important nowadays.
80
I don't know if there are any particular differences, certainly not in looks or personality.
81
Celebrity culture has probably been the same for a long time, though I suppose today it does seem like there are more celebrities, and more of them are famous just for being famous.
82
There might be more people now who can be famous because of the proliferation of social media and television, even if they might not have been famous before.
83
Famous people in the past probably needed some sort of unique gift to be able to attain fame, whereas that seems less important nowadays.
84
This is stupid.
85
I'm not going to do this.

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。
