1
I don't know anything about technology so I never speak about tech on this channel.
2
You'll hear some tech related words from me today.
3
This tab is here as a tab by Anika Yasmin.
4
So if you want to at least this way, I've got everything beneath it.
5
I have this little to-do list.
6
I bought a new iPad.
7
So today we are going to be unboxing the ipad air the ipad air 11 inch
8
which has an m4 chip and 256 gigabytes of data
9
or storage of storage and oh god
10
and an apple pencil pro i'm super excited we are going
11
to start with unboxing the ipad itself first thing we have to do is rip off these strips here
12
and now we can open the box itself
13
so I'm just going to lift this oh my god this
14
little tab this here is a tab I'm gonna pull this
15
and it has this like sort of matte paper cover over the top
16
so I'm just going to take that off as well
17
this is it i got the what color is it blue
18
does it have a special name i got the oh whatever
19
i got the blue one it looks quite silver on camera
20
but it's like this super light blue this light blue color it's
21
so beautiful just for reference against my macbook which is silver It's kind of more or less very similar,
22
just slightly more blue.
23
So I have not turned this on or anything.
24
It's so beautiful and it's so thin.
25
Look how thin.
26
Also in this box, we have this like little leaflet here.
27
And underneath that, this is the charger.
28
So I'm going to put this to one side.
29
and then this is the charging cable right here.
30
I bought the Apple Pencil Pro because I'm going to be doing quite a lot of drawing on the iPad.
31
I'm going to rip open this little tab here and then open the box.
32
in terms of a case I bought this one I bought this blue case
33
which has like a one of these folding screens to match the iPad
34
So let's put this on before we do anything else.
35
And now I'm going to swipe and set everything up.
36
English, UK, because I am British. if you didn't know
37
if you couldn't tell I'm uh I'm from the UK right
38
now the iPad is downloading like a software update I have
39
some time to explain like what this video is I have seen on Pinterest people decorate their iPads like
40
so beautiful they have such gorgeous iPads and I want to do that as well.
41
Right now it's it's got the case on.
42
It's this gorgeous blue.
43
I think it's so pretty and it's got this blue case as well.
44
While this updates, it's going to take 10 minutes.
45
I am going to watch one of these videos on YouTube about like how the girls are decorating their iPad.
46
I want to see.
47
I have my iPad now like all set up,
48
everything is is set up so I wanted to give you a little bit of a tour of how I've arranged everything.
49
My lock screen looks like this, it has this kind of cloud background which I found on Pinterest.
50
I also have this big clock on there as well with my calendar over here.
51
I then have on here, I have two pages.
52
The first page I see as being more like my social media page and then the second page,
53
which we will look at more in a minute, so ugly, is more like work.
54
On my main page here, I have the calendar widget up in the top left hand corner
55
so these are widgets these like big these big screens
56
and I tried to make everything very practical very useful
57
because I think lots of people have widgets that are like little games
58
and things like this honestly I I waste so much time already
59
that I do not need a game on my iPad
60
so I haven't got that I've got my main calendar up here which shows kind of my
61
my present day and the exact time and the upcoming days as well
62
and then just beneath it I have this little to-do list widget
63
which I can just tick things off as I do them.
64
Just beneath that I have the notes section, it's still really new like I'm still starting to use my iPad
65
but normally I use notes all the time and I have the weather in the top right corner,
66
a clock and then access to my Notion page over here.
67
Notion is an app and a website where you can kind of create your own pages
68
and keep track of certain things so I use
69
that a lot at university in particular I then only have
70
one decorative decorative decorative decorative decorative I only have one decorative
71
widget which is this one here of this girl reading a book with a cat in the rain.
72
I thought it was cute.
73
And then I have my Google apps just on the bottom.
74
My social media is in here.
75
This is Instagram, YouTube studio which is where you keep track of your channel as a creator.
76
TikTok, I fucking hate TikTok. And YouTube.
77
I've started uploading my videos on TikTok recently because
78
somebody else was like stealing them and posting them
79
so I was like okay now I have to
80
and I just don't like I don't really know what to post over there
81
so if you guys have something in particular
82
that you would like to see from me on TikTok maybe
83
something different let me know next to this I have my my I have a group of apps
84
that are more creative so this is procreate canva which I use to make my thumbnails.
85
I make all of my thumbnails here and some Instagram posts as well
86
and this is GoodNotes which I've been using to read papers and things like this.
87
I've been doing a bit of reading on applied linguistics so just know that I am studying.
88
When you watch these videos there is some there is some kind of thought going into them.
89
I am trying to make these useful to the way that we acquire and learn a language.
90
Hopefully it feels fun to you, but I'm working.
91
And that's basically everything on this front page.
92
I think I like the colour, I really like the colour blue, so I think it looks cute.
93
And then on the next page here,
94
this is like the horrible work kind of admin side of my iPad.
95
Like if page one, this is the creative side, this side is the admin side.
96
On here I have the stocks which I don't understand
97
because I don't invest but they are there because I needed to fill that space.
98
I needed to fill that space.
99
Just above it again is my calendar and then I have some apps here in the middle.
100
So I have Reddit here.
101
I use Reddit to keep track of the different language learning subreddits.
102
I actually enjoy reading them but I like to know what language learners are talking about.
103
I see what's going on.
104
This is a really good way to see how learners are feeling.
105
So I try and keep an eye on that.
106
Down here, this is Substack.
107
I don't have a Substack,
108
but I'm thinking of making a Substack because people keep saying that Substack is the next new big thing with social media,
109
that Substack is going to be like the next biggest social media platform.
110
So I thought I should make one, but as you can see by my to-do list over here, I have not done that yet.
111
So let me know, are you on Substack?
112
Because I was thinking of maybe writing some articles on like language learning
113
or to do with English just to give you guys some reading practice.
114
Let me know if that's interesting to you.
115
Above here I have LinkedIn.
116
I also do not post on LinkedIn but I should post on LinkedIn which is why it's here.
117
And then DJI.
118
This is an app which pairs with my camera with you.
119
I can see my screen and yeah just make sure I'm filming everything properly.
120
This widget here contains my banking information so it has the calculator app and this is my taxing,
121
where I pay taxes and this is my bank account here.
122
To the right I have a timer app
123
so this is like a Pomodoro timer
124
so I can set a timer here for 25 minutes
125
if I want to study and this is from the app called sessions
126
and just below I have a little playlist shortcut to play some lo-fi music
127
which I really like to listen to when I'm working so
128
when I work I usually listen to lo-fi
129
and honestly every other app I just keep in the library because they're ugly
130
so if an app is ugly it's just here in the app library I can swipe to the side
131
and just search for anything in particular that I want
132
and yeah this is my iPad
133
and this is how I have everything laid out I've been
134
using my iPad now for I think it has been one week and honestly
135
I love it I love my iPad it's been really good
136
for me to separate like my phone from my work
137
because with my job now being partly social media it was
138
really easy for me to just sit on my phone
139
and work at night and then it was making me sleep worse it was making me sleep worse
140
at least this way I've got everything separated a little bit more
141
and yeah this is my this is my iPad
142
and I'm super happy with it I actually I really like this flip case it's a flip case
143
because the screen flips open um and it protects the screen as well
144
so I'm happy with the case I'm happy with the iPad I love the Apple Pencil as well
145
and yeah thank you so much for watching I we'll see you in the next one bye
この動画でスピーキング練習をする理由は何ですか?
このYouTube動画は、最新のテクノロジー製品であるiPadを開封する様子を紹介しています。動画の中で話される内容は、リアルな日常会話の例として非常に有用です。特に、iPadのセットアップや商品説明に関する会話は、英語を学ぶ際の「英語シャドーイング」に適しています。このような内容を練習することで、商品名や機能についての語彙を増やすだけでなく、自分の意見を表現するスキルも向上します。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
動画内で使われているいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現を分析しましょう。
- 「I bought a new iPad.」 - 簡単な過去形を使用することで、自分の行動を明確に伝えています。
- 「I’m going to be unboxing the iPad.」 - 未来形の「be going to」を使って、これからの行動を示しています。この表現は、計画を伝えるときに非常に便利です。
- 「It looks quite silver on camera.」 - 比較級や状態を説明する文です。「looks」という動詞を使うことで、具体的な印象を与えています。
- 「I want to see how the girls are decorating their iPad.」 - 「want to」を使って、希望を表現する方法を学ぶことができます。この構造は、日常会話で頻繁に使われます。
一般的な発音の罠
動画内には、英語を学ぶ際に注意が必要な発音のポイントがいくつかあります。
- 「iPad」 - 「i」と「Pad」をしっかりと分けて発音することが大切です。特に、アメリカ英語とイギリス英語で発音が異なることに注意しましょう。
- 「update」 - 正しい発音は「アプデイト」。スムーズに言うためには、母音に意識を向けることが重要です。
- 「beautiful」 - この単語は、特に「beau」の部分での発音が難しいため、練習が必要です。
これらのポイントを意識しながら、英語でのスピーキングを練習しましょう。動画を何度も見返し、shadow speechやshadowspeakを使って、リスニング能力も向上させることができます。自分の声で繰り返してみることが、上達への近道です。
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。
