2. brilliant bikes.
3
Holly's Eleven And she loves inventing.
4
Designing and making things.
5
She's been making all kinds of things since she was about three.
6
Her parents didn't buy her dolls or clothes for birthday presents.
7
They gave her paint, glue, scissors and pieces of wood.
8
Holly wants to be an engineer.
9
She made a brilliant toy racing car six months ago.
10
And I'm going to invent the fastest engine for a racing car in the world one day, she told her grandfather.
11
Last month Holly was walking past the fire station in her hometown in Australia.
12
when she saw a poster on the wall.
13
It said: Under 12's Bike Race, 21 kilometres, Sunday the 18th of June.
14
Email richard .black at met .au.
15
or phone 933 -107.
16
Five, seven, two.
17
To find out more.
18
Holly knew her bicycle wasn't fast enough to win a race.
19
It was too small for her now.
20
Perhaps I can make a new one, she thought.
21
"Could I have the old metal lamp that's in the cupboard under the stairs?" she asked her mother.
22
"You never use those old motorbike engine parts that are in your garage," she said to her uncle.
23
Can I have some of them for my new project?
24
I'm going to build a bike.
25
She asked other people in her family for several old or broken things too,
26
and soon the garden was full of pieces of metal and plastic.
27
"This is great," she thought.
28
"I just need another tyre now." She decided to go and ask the new family in the flat on the third floor.
29
Perhaps they could help her.
30
She ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
31
"What do you want?" said the girl who opened it.
32
"Have you got a bicycle tyre that you don't want?" Holly said.
33
"I need one so I can ride in the under -twelves race." "No, I haven't," the girl said.
34
Her name was Victoria Rich.
35
But I'm going to win first prize in that race.
36
I've got a brilliant racing bike, and there are expensive new tyres on both its wheels.
37
Now, please, go away.
38
I'm very busy.
39
I'm doing my piano practice.
40
And Victoria Rich closed the door.
41
"Well," thought Holly, "she wasn't very friendly." Holly's grandfather phoned her that evening.
42
She told him about the unfriendly girl and about the tyre that she still needed.
43
"I'll come and see you tomorrow," he said.
44
I'll bring you a tire and something else that will help you.
45
No problem.
46
Don't worry.
47
We'll build a brilliant bike for you as well.
48
"Here you are," he said when he arrived with the tyre the next morning.
49
And this spanner is also for you.
50
I got it 40 years ago.
51
"Oh, it's very special.
52
It can fix anything !" Holly took the spanner carefully and turned it over and over in her hand.
53
It's a brilliant present.
54
And I'll use it a lot, I'm sure.
55
She said, "Thank you so much." They started to work and they worked all day until the bike was ready.
56
Holly stood up and looked at it.
57
Wow!
58
It's amazing!
59
It's wonderful!
60
It's brilliant, Grandpa!
61
She laughed.
62
Holly practiced cycling every morning and each time she rode her new bike faster.
63
Sometimes a metal or plastic piece fell off and Holly had to stop, go back and fetch it.
64
But she always had the spanner in her pocket.
65
It could fix any problem.
66
On the day of the race, Holly and her family arrived at the starting line early.
67
About fifty children from the town were already there.
68
Holly suddenly saw Victoria, who was sitting on her beautiful bike.
69
She had a big smile on her face.
70
Victoria looked at Holly's bike and laughed.
71
But Holly's grandfather put his arm around Holly's shoulder and whispered, Remember, your bike is brilliant too.
72
Then the race began.
73
The first six kilometres around Toowoomba Lake were easy.
74
The next five kilometres along the road through the wood were more difficult.
75
and four of the children decided to stop.
76
The next nine kilometres over the hills and Crocodile River
77
and past the farms were very hard work and lots more children were getting too tired to cycle so far.
78
But Holly didn't stop.
79
More and more bits of Holly's bike fell off, but with her special spanner, she could fix anything.
80
When Holly was only one kilometre from the end of the race,
81
Victoria was only twenty metres in front of her.
82
Holly was really tired.
83
"I'm not gonna stop.
84
I'm going to finish this race.
85
Victoria may win," she thought.
86
But my bike is brilliant too.
87
Suddenly, a large kangaroo hopped across the road.
88
Victoria nearly fell off because she was so surprised.
89
When she started cycling again, her back wheel wobbled badly, so she got off to take a look at it.
90
Holly raced past Victoria and thought, "Wow!
91
I know I can win now !" She felt pleased for a moment.
92
But then she decided to stop and cycle back because Victoria looked so worried and sad.
93
Don't worry.
94
I can help you.
95
"I can fix your bike with my special spanner," Holly said.
96
"It will only take a minute." "You're so kind," Victoria said.
97
"I wasn't nice to you.
98
I'm sorry.
99
Thanks for helping me." That's okay.
100
We can be friends now.
101
And we can both win this race, Holly said and smiled.
102
There!
103
It's fine now.
104
Come on!
105
Victoria and Holly got back on their brilliant bikes and cycled together to the finishing line.
106
When they crossed it, Holly waved the spanner in the air, and her grandfather clapped and shouted.
107
Hurrah!
108
Well done!
109
"One day, Holly," he said later that day,
110
"with that special spanner, You will build the fastest racing car in the world.
111
"I know I will," Holly answered.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由

「ブリリアント・バイク」のお話を通じて、英語を話す練習をすることは非常に効果的です。このビデオは、若い発明家のホリーが自転車を作るプロセスを描いており、数多くの実用的な状況での会話が含まれています。具体的な場面での対話を通じて、リスニングスキルとスピーキングスキルの両方を鍛えることができ、特に英語シャドーイングやshadow speechの手法を用いることにより、自然なリズムとイントネーションを身につけることが可能です。

文法と表現の文脈

このビデオには、ホリーが自転車を作る過程で使用されるいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現があります。以下は、その一例です:

  • 直接のお願い:「Can I have...?」や「Could I have...?」などの表現が使われ、他人に物を頼む際の自然なフレーズを学ぶことができます。
  • 未来志向の意図:「I'm going to...」は、未来の計画や意図を表すのに重要な構造であり、夢や目標について話す際によく使われます。
  • 会話の流れ:「What do you want?」や「No, I haven't.」など、日常会話で非常に一般的なフレーズが含まれており、会話の練習に役立ちます。

これらの表現を使用すると、自分のアイデアや希望を明確に伝えられ、英語の発音を良くする効果も得られます。

一般的な発音トラップ

ビデオ内には、発音に注意が必要な単語やフレーズもいくつかあります。特に以下の点に注意が必要です:

  • 「brilliant」(素晴らしい)という単語は、日本語の「ブリリアント」とは異なり、弱音を発音する際に注意を払いましょう。
  • 「engineer」(エンジニア)という言葉の発音も難しい場合があります。正しい発音を意識して練習してみてください。
  • 「tires」(タイヤ)は、アメリカ英語とイギリス英語で発音が異なることもあり、特に注意が必要です。

これらの発音トラップを克服することで、英語の発音を良くするスキルを一層強化できるでしょう。shadow speakを実践する際にも、正しい発音をすることで、さらに自信を持って話すことができます。

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。
