Everyone, that is, except me.

When I was a teenager, all I did was sit around playing video games.

Some of the stamps I have are really, really beautiful.

It's like walking through a tiny museum full of wonderful paintings.

I always loved reading as a kid, so for a long time I wanted to write children's books.

61
I guess I'm not very good with words.
62
Now I'm happy just painting.
63
I've won a few prizes, too, in art competitions, for my watercolours and oils.
64
The pictures are important to me, though, not the prizes.
65
What I enjoy most is creating pictures.
66
It makes me so happy.
67
6. Well, I'm retired now and I have a lot of free time.
68
I worked for the same company for over 30 years, mostly in the same little office.

I worked long hours, and when I came home from work I was too tired to do anything but read the newspaper.

Listening 3 1.
122
A few months ago I moved to this cute little house out in the country.
123
Before I moved all I did was sit in cafes and read or surf the internet.
124
Boring!
125
Now I want to spend all my free time outside enjoying nature.
126
The only problem is I'm not in very good shape, so I don't like doing any sports or anything that involves a lot of exercise.
127
I tried hiking once, but I fell down a hill and hurt my leg.
128
Don't get me wrong, I love the outdoors, but what I really want is something I can do quietly in nature.
129
I live in a big city, so I love being around lots of people.
130
My brother is completely the opposite it.
131
Last weekend, he took me to the country to go bird watching.
132
I was so bored the whole time.
133
I like talking to people and doing creative things.
134
I'd just love to get all my friends together at my apartment in the city and do something.
135
We could have a dinner party maybe, or we could bring over some guitars and drums and stuff like that and sing and dance.
136
3. Exercise is really important to me.
137
I like doing things where I keep active, things that are good for my health.
138
My roommate isn't like that at all, though.
139
He wakes up and surfs the internet for hours.
140
Then he plays his guitar in his room all afternoon.
141
Yuck.
142
I just hate sitting around indoors.
143
I especially hate surfing the internet.
144
I want to meet other people.
145
I also want to get out and visit new places, like out in the country, where you can see some real nature.
146
4. I don't really like going to parties or working out at the gym all the time.
147
I don't like hiking around in nature either.
148
I like to do things that develop my mind or things that teach me about other countries and places.
149
What I really love is history.
150
To me, a good history book is a lot more exciting than a fancy dinner party
151
or some concert or a baseball game.
152
And there's a lot of great historical information on the internet, too.
153
I'm not one of those people who sit at home and collect stamps.
154
For me, learning something new is a real adventure.

この動画は誰に向けて作られたのですか?

英語のリスニングとスピーキング能力を向上させたい中級レベルの学習者に最適です。特にIELTS スピーキング対策や日常会話の練習をしたい人におすすめです。趣味や娯楽に関するトピックは英語で話す機会が多いため、実践的な表現を身につけることができます。YouTubeで英語学習をしている方にもぴったりで、シャドーイングの素材として使えます。

覚えておきたい単語とイディオム

この動画の会話には、日常的な表現がたくさん含まれています。take up(始める)、pack away(しまう)、keep fit(健康を維持する)などが代表的です。chase balls around a field(野原でボールを追いかける)はスポーツが苦手な人の心情を表す面白い表現で、bright colours(鮮やかな色)は絵画に関する会話でよく使われます。これらのフレーズは英語スピーキング練習に役立ちます。

発音を良くするコツ

英語の発音を良くするには、リズムとイントネーションに注目しましょう。この動画の話者は自然なスピードで話しているため、シャドーイングに最適です。特にused toの発音(/juːst tə/ではなく/juːstə/)やgotの弱い発音(/ɡɒt/ではなく/ɡət/)に注意してください。また、hiking groupやpublic libraryのような複合語のアクセント位置も重要で、先頭の単語に強調を置くと自然に聞こえます。繰り返し聴いて真似することで、自然な発音が身につきます。

実践的な練習方法

この動画を使った効果的な練習法は、シャドーイングです。1文ずつ止めて、すぐに真似して話してみましょう。会話の中の疑問文(Why don't you come and see my collection?)のイントネーションは上がることが多いので、そのパターンを覚えます。また、趣味に関する自己紹介を作る練習も有効で、I used to... but now I...の構文を使って過去と現在の変化を表すことができます。これらの練習はIELTS スピーキング対策にもなります。

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。

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。
