1
Section 2.
2
You will hear a fitness manager of a leisure club Talking to some new members.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 and 12.
4
Now listen and answer questions 11 and 12.
5
On behalf of LP Clubs, I'd like to welcome you all here today.
6
My name's Sandy Fisher and I'm one of the fitness managers here.
7
Before we start our tour of the club, I'll just run through some basic information about the facilities we have here,
8
including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership available.
9
Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool, which at 25 metres isn't Olympic -sized,
10
but now we've expanded it to 8 lanes, it's much wider.
11
This means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane.
12
Unfortunately, there isn't space for an outdoor pool here, but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable,
13
which means you can enjoy something of the open air experience on warmer days.
14
Our recently refurbished fitness suite has all the latest exercise equipment,
15
including 10 new running machines and a wide range of weight training machines.
16
Each member is given full training in how to operate the equipment, and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice.
17
Although we do have adult -only times after six and at certain times at weekends, children are well catered for.
18
Older children continue to benefit from a wide range of tuition, anything from trampolining to yoga.
19
Before you hear the rest of the talk...
20
You have some time to look at questions 13 to 20.
21
Now listen and answer questions 13 to 20.
22
One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them.
23
This starts on day one with your personal assessment.
24
You are asked to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any health problems.
25
One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.
26
The trainer will then take you through the safety rules for using the equipment in the fitness suite.
27
During your next exercise session, a personal trainer will work with you to make sure you understand these.
28
It's very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries.
29
There's a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights.
30
At the end of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a plan outlining what you should try to achieve within a six -week period.
31
This will then be reviewed at the end of the six weeks.
32
Now, I'll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available.
33
All members must pay a joining fee of £90 in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees.
34
Gold membership entitles you to free entry at all LP clubs.
35
There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns, so if you travel a lot, this will be a great advantage.
36
Individual gold membership costs £50 a month.
37
And joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.
38
Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to use the club during the day.
39
And so LP gives booking preferences to Premier members at peak times.
40
This means you will find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you.
41
Reciprocal arrangements with other LP clubs are available to Premier members.
42
Premier membership is for individuals only, but you'll be sent passes for guests every month.
43
The monthly fee is £65.
44
You don't have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club.
45
We provide robes and hair dryers in the changing rooms,
46
but it's very important to remember your photo card because you won't be able to get in without it.
47
For people who aren't working during the day.
48
Then we should.
49
That is the end of section two.
50
You now have half a minute to check your...
51
Thank you.
52
Thank you.

練習のコツ

このビデオのスピードとトーンに合わせて、英語シャドーイングをすることをお勧めします。特にフィットネス関連の用語やフレーズに注目しながら、音声を聞き取って発音することで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。まず、フィットネスマネージャーの発言を繰り返してみましょう。少しずつスピードを上げて、自分のスタイルを見つけてください。音声を一時停止して、自分自身の発音を録音してみるのも良い練習です。

また、リスニングを行った後は、聞いた内容を口に出して復唱することで、shadow speakを通じて英語をいかに使うかを体感できます。これにより、リスニング力だけでなく、実際の会話の中での反応スピードも向上します。YouTubeで英語学習を進める際には、自分の声を使ってシャドーイングすることで、英語スピーキングのスキルを効果的に高められるでしょう。

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。
