Hello everybody and welcome to the lesson.
2
This is conversation one for wood for the past tense
3
and it is titled growing up on a farm
4
and you will hear someone talk about their previous life living on a farm
5
and notice they use wood for the past tense.
6
So that's when you talk about an action you did again
7
and again and again you did the action often and it's very similar to used to.
8
So let's go ahead and listen, and then we'll take a quiz and review the grammar.
9
What was it like growing up on a farm?
10
It was the best.
11
I used to have so much fun.
12
Really?
13
What would you do?
14
I would ride horses, play with my dog, tend to animals, and just have fun.
15
Sounds fun.
16
It was.
17
Every day, I would get up early, and I would be outside all day.
18
I wouldn't go inside until dark.
19
Sounds like you had a great childhood.
20
It was.
21
Now let's go over the quiz.
22
Question one, what was life like on the farm?
23
A, fun or B, hard?
24
And she said it was fun.
25
okay question two what would she do on the farm a ride horses
26
or b tend to crops and she said she would ride horses
27
so you can tend to animals
28
and tend to crops tend to means to take care of something
29
so she didn't say crops she said she would tend to animals and question three what would she do every day?
30
A, have fun.
31
B, get in trouble.
32
And the answer is she would have fun.
33
It was so much fun.
34
I actually based this conversation on my childhood.
35
I grew up on a farm and that was exactly what it was like.
36
It was a lot of fun.
37
So now let's go ahead and look at the conversation and see how she uses would many times.
38
So the man asks, what would you do? and she said, I would ride horses, play with my dog, tend to animals.
39
So here would is referring to every verb phrase, right?
40
She would play with her dog and she would also tend to animals.
41
And later she says, I would get up early.
42
I would be outside all day.
43
I wouldn't go inside until dark.
44
So would is used to talk about a past action that you did again and again,
45
that you did regularly all the time in the past. And that is it.
46
Thanks so much for participating.
47
Now Now you can practice this in the next lesson, English VIP training.

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。
