1
Good morning, Helen Ward speaking.
2
Hi Helen, it's Tom from Northgate. Is now a good time?
3
Oh, hi Tom! Sure, I've got five minutes.
4
Great. Well... I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
5
Something's come up, and I can't make Thursday's meeting.
6
Thursday? Seriously? We've had that booked for weeks!
7
I know, and I'm really sorry about the short notice.
8
Our director has called an urgent meeting with the investors.
9
Hmm. That's a bit frustrating, to be honest.
10
I've already moved two other meetings for this.
11
I completely understand, and I'll make it up to you.
12
Would Friday afternoon work for you instead?
13
No, I'm afraid I'm in Paris all day on Friday.
14
Ah, okay. What about early next week, then?
15
Monday's impossible, and Tuesday is completely packed.
16
Oh dear. I really don't want to push it back too far.
17
Neither do I. We need to sign off on this soon.
18
Wait, actually... how early do you start in the mornings?
19
Pretty early! I'm usually at my desk by eight.
20
Then how about Wednesday at eight thirty, before my day starts?
21
That's perfect! I'll come to you, and I'll bring coffee.
22
Ha, now you're talking. Can you confirm it by email?
23
Of course. I'll send a new invite in the next ten minutes.
24
And I'll attach the updated proposal, so you can read it first.
25
Great, that would be really helpful.
26
Actually, Tom, can I tell you a little secret?
27
I hadn't finished reading the proposal anyway!
28
Ha! So I've actually done you a favour, then?
29
Don't push your luck. See you on Wednesday!

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているhas called · I've already moved · I've actually done
「will」の未来表現 will + 動詞 — その場の決定、約束、予測I'll make · I'll come · I'll send

日本語話者が苦手な音：

  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: invite /ɪnˈvaɪt/, investor /ɪnˈvɛs.tə(ɹ)/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, confirm /kənˈfɝm/, frustrate /ˈfɹʌsˌtɹeɪt/
  • 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: proposal /pɹəˈpoʊzəl/, desk /dɛsk/, helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, urgent /ˈɜː.d͡ʒənt/, frustrate /ˈfɹʌsˌtɹeɪt/

この動画での練習方法

  1. まず声を出さずに動画を最後まで聞き、知らない単語をメモします。
  2. 通常の速度で一文ずつシャドーイングし、話し手のリズムに合うまで繰り返します。
  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。proposal, desk, helpfulなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

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。
