What's your New Year's resolution, Lee?
4
I'm really going to get in shape this year.
5
I'm going to exercise every day and lose five pounds.
6
You watch.
7
Two.
8
Have you made any New Year's resolutions?
9
Sure.
10
I'm going to give up smoking.
11
Why don't you enroll in a program that helps people stop smoking?
12
That sounds like a great idea.
13
Three.
14
I need to get more exercise.
15
You should do more walking.
16
Maybe you could walk to the subway every day instead of taking the bus.
17
Yeah, I think I will.
18
And why not take up jogging?
19
Let's not push it.
20
I can't stand jogging.
21
Four.
22
What are you going to do for the new year?
23
Well, everyone tells me I look too thin.
24
I need to put on a couple of pounds.
25
Why don't you join a gym and lift weights?
26
No time.
27
I think I'll go back and live with my mom.
28
She's the greatest cook.
29
Five.
30
So what are your New Year's resolutions?
31
Well, I'm going to change my diet and start eating healthier food.
32
Really?
33
Yep.
34
I'm going to start eating less meat and more vegetables.
35
Six.
36
I'm getting a little fat.
37
Yeah, I noticed.
38
Hey, come on.
39
Anyway, I'm going to do something about it.
40
Are you taking up jogging?
41
No, but I'm going to start doing sit-ups every morning starting January 1st. Just like this.
42
Watch.
43
One, two...
44
Errgh!
45
Listening to One I used to lift weights, but I didn't really enjoy it.
46
So that's when I started swimming.
47
Now I do it about twice a week.
48
It's much more fun.
49
I go to a nice pool near my office.
50
It's never too crowded, which is great.
51
There are friendly people who go there, so it's a good place to meet people.
52
Two I go out every morning.
53
It's a great way to start the day.
54
It's more interesting than exercising at home like I used to.
55
That was really boring.
56
I go to a beach near my house.
57
It's lovely in the early morning.
58
There's hardly anyone there and you can listen to the ocean as you do it.
59
Three.
60
I used to play both tennis and volleyball, but I play mainly volleyball now.
61
I think it's a lot more fun.
62
I thought tennis was very tiring.
63
It was also difficult to find a partner, and the courts were always crowded, too.
64
With volleyball, I have no trouble finding somewhere to play.
65
Four.
66
I used to take long walks every day, but it got boring.
67
I wanted something more exciting, so that's when I took up rollerblading.
68
It's really fun, but it's not as easy as it looks.
69
It took me a long time to learn how to do it.
70
I fell a lot at the beginning.
71
The great thing is you can do it almost anywhere.
72
My friends think I'm kind of strange because none of them do it, but I love it.
73
Five.
74
I finally bought myself a bicycle.
75
It's a great way to keep fit.
76
I think it's better than going to a health club.
77
It took me a long time to learn to ride it in traffic.
78
I nearly fell off a couple of times.
79
I don't often go on busy streets because that can be dangerous.
80
But there are plenty of places where I can ride near where I live.
81
I use it to get to work sometimes, but only if the weather's nice.
82
Six.
83
I used to go to aerobics class, but I found it pretty silly, all that jumping around.
84
So that's when I decided to take golf lessons.
85
It can be pretty expensive because you have to buy all your equipment and club fees are high.
86
People think it's very easy, but it's not.
87
It's also good exercise because you have to walk a lot.
88

131
But I work now, and I never go swimming.
132
I know that I should exercise more, but I'm just too lazy.
133
Jogging?
134
That's way too much work, and it really makes my knees hurt.
135
A lot of people I know are into bicycling, but I don't have a bike.
136
I guess there's tennis, though.
137
My wife loves it and wants to teach me how to play.

144
Our community center has an aerobics class in the evening, but he won't go.
145
He says it's just for women, so neither of us does that.
146

156
I don't really have a lot of hobbies or interests besides sports.
157
so I really need to keep doing them.

この動画で身につく英語スピーキングのスキル

この会話を通して、新年の抱負を話すときの自然な表現や、アドバイスをする・受ける場面での使い方を学べます。特に「I'm going to...」「Why don't you...」などのフレーズを使って、自分の計画や提案をはっきりと伝えるスキルが身につきます。また、相手の反応に合わせて「That sounds like a great idea.」「Let's not push it.」などの応答をすることで、会話がスムーズに進むコツも覚えられます。英語スピーキング練習に最適な素材ですね。

聞き取りに注意すべき発音のポイント

会話の中には、連結音や弱音化がたくさんあります。例えば「going to」は「gonna」と発音されることが多く、「want to」は「wanna」になります。また、「I'm really going to get in shape」の「going to get」では「going」の最後の「g」と「to」の「t」が連結して、スムーズに流れるようになっています。これらの発音を聞き分けることで、リスニング力だけでなく、英語の発音を良くすることもできます。繰り返し聞いて、これらの音のつながりを感じてみてください。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

ネイティブスピーカーのリズムやアクセントを真似る「shadow speech」(シャドーイング)をすると、自然な発音が身につきます。会話の中では、重要な単語にアクセントが置かれています。例えば「I need to get more exercise.」では「need」「get」「more」「exercise」にストレスがかかり、リズムができています。また、「Errgh!」のような感情を表す発音も、会話に生き生きとした雰囲気を与えています。シャドーイングをするときは、声の高さや速さも合わせてみてください。何度も繰り返すことで、ネイティブのような話し方が自然にできるようになります。shadowspeaksやshadowspeakという方法を使って、楽しく練習してみましょう!

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
「used to」 used to + 動詞 — 今はもう違う過去の習慣や状態used to lift · used to play · used to take
現在完了進行形 have/has been + -ing — 以前に始まり今も続いている動作I've been trying
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加えるcrowded, which is · people who go
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるwere always crowded

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。
