6
hobbies and what we do in our free time.
7
That's right, Emily.
8
Hobbies are so important.
9
They help us relax, learn new things,
10
and just enjoy life more.

22
So let's talk about hobbies.
23
What do you like to do when you have some free time?
24
Well, Paul, one of my favorite things to do is reading.
25
I absolutely love getting lost in a good book.
26
I read all sorts of things,
27
novels, mysteries, even some science fiction.
28
Oh, that's interesting.
29
I'm not a huge reader myself,
30
but I can see the appeal.
31
It's a great way to learn new vocabulary too, isn't it?
32
Definitely.
33
And it helps with understanding different sentence structures.
34
What about you, Paul?
35
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
36
I'm a bit more active.
37
I really enjoy playing sports.
38
Football is my favorite, both watching and playing.
39
I also like going for runs in the park.
40
That sounds like a good way to stay healthy and get some fresh air.
41
Do you play football with a team?
42
Yes, I play with a local amateur team on the weekends.
43
It's a lot of fun and a great way to socialize.
44
That's fantastic.
45
It's so important to have hobbies that involve other people,
46
especially for practicing your English in a social setting.
47
Absolutely.
48
And what other hobbies do you have, Emily?
49
Just reading?
50
No, not just reading.
51
I also really enjoy cooking and baking.
52
I find it very relaxing to try out new recipes.
53
And the best part is you get to eat the results.
54
Laugh.
55
That's definitely a bonus.
56
What kind of things do you like to cook or bake?
57
I like to try dishes from different countries.
58
I've made pasta from Italy,
59
curries from India, and even some traditional Brazilian dishes.
60
For baking, I love making cakes and cookies.
61
Wow.
62
You're quite the international chef.
63
Maybe you can bake something for our next recording session?
64
Maybe.
65
What about you, Paul?
66
Any other hobbies besides sports?
67
Yes.
68
I also enjoy listening to music.
69
I have a huge collection of songs and I love discovering new artists.
70
I listen to music when I'm working out,
71
when I'm relaxing at home, even when I'm commuting.
72
Music is a great hobby.
73
What kind of music do you like?
74
I like a bit of everything, really.
75
Rock, pop, jazz, sometimes even classical music.
76
It depends on my mood.
77
That's cool.
78
It's good to have diverse tastes.
79
I also enjoy listening to music,
80
especially when I'm cleaning or doing something that doesn't require a lot of concentration.
81
So, Emily, we've talked about reading, cooking, sports, and music.
82
Do you have any other hobbies that might surprise our listeners?
83
Hmm, let me think.
84
Well, I also enjoy gardening.
85
I have a small balcony garden where I grow some herbs and flowers.
86
It's very therapeutic to get my hands dirty and watch things grow.
87
Oh, I didn't know that about you.
88
That's lovely.
89
I've always thought about trying gardening,
90
but I don't have much space.
91
Even a small pot on a windowsill can be a little garden.
92
You should try it sometime.
93
Maybe I will.
94
So we've shared some of our hobbies.
95
What are some common hobbies that people have around the world?
96
That's a great question, Paul.
97
Let's think about some popular hobbies.
98
One very common one is watching movies and TV shows.
99
It's a great way to relax and unwind.
100
Definitely.
101
And with so many streaming services these days,
102
there's always something new to watch.
103
Another popular hobby is traveling.
104
Many people enjoy visiting new places,
105
experiencing different cultures and seeing famous landmarks.
106
Oh, I love traveling.
107
It's so exciting to explore new cities and try new foods.
108
Me too.
109
Even short trips to nearby towns can be a fun way to spend free time.
110
What about creative hobbies?
111
Yes, those are also very popular.
112
Things like painting, drawing, writing,
113
and playing a musical instrument.
114
Exactly.
115
These hobbies allow people to express themselves and develop new skills.
116
And then there are collecting hobbies.
117
Some people collect stamps, coins,
118
comic books, or even vintage items.
119
That's right.
120
Gaming can be a very rewarding hobby,
121
and it can also be a way to learn about history or specific topics.
122
What about more active hobbies besides sports?
123
Well, there's hiking, cycling, swimming, and dancing.
124
These are all great ways to stay fit and have fun at the same time.
125
And don't forget about gaming.
126
Video games are a very popular hobby for many people, especially younger generations.
127
That's true.
128
Gaming can be a way to socialize with friends online and challenge yourself with different types of games.
129
It seems like there are endless possibilities when it comes to hobbies.
130
Absolutely.
131
And it's so important for everyone to find something they enjoy doing in their free time.
132
It helps with stress, boredom, and overall well-being.
133
So, Emily, what advice would you give to someone who wants to find a new hobby?
134
That's a good question.
135
I would say first, think about what you enjoy doing.
136
What makes you feel happy and relaxed?
137
Yes, that's a great starting point.
138
Consider your interests.
139
Are you interested in being creative,
140
being active, learning new things, or socializing?
141
Exactly.
142
Then try out different things.
143
You might not find the perfect hobby right away,
144
so don't be afraid to experiment.
145
And don't worry about being good at it at first.
146
The most important thing is to have fun.
147
That's so true, Paul.
148
Hobbies are about enjoyment, not perfection.
149
You could also try joining a club or a class related to an activity you're interested in.
150
This is a great way to meet new people who share your interests.
151
That's a fantastic idea.
152
For example, if you're interested in photography,
153
you could join a local photography club.
154
Or if you want to learn a new language,
155
you could join a language exchange group.
156
There are so many resources available these days,
157
both online and in person.
158
You can find tutorials, communities,
159
and classes for almost any hobby you can think of.
160
And don't be afraid to try something completely new that you've never considered before.
161
You might surprise yourself.
162
Yes.
163
Sometimes the best hobbies are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly.
164
So, Emily, let's think about some less common or perhaps more unusual hobbies.
165
Can you think of any?
166
Hmm.
167
Unusual hobbies.
168
Well, some people enjoy birdwatching,
169
which is the activity of observing wild birds.
170
Oh, that sounds quite peaceful.
171
I can imagine it being very relaxing to be out in nature and watch the birds.
172
It can be.
173
Another less common hobby might be calligraphy,
174
which is the art of beautiful handwriting.
175
That's a very elegant skill to have.
176
I've always admired people who can do calligraphy.
177
And what about you, Paul?
178
Any unusual hobbies that come to mind?
179
Let me think.
180
Well, I know someone who is really into urban exploration,
181
which involves exploring abandoned buildings and other man-made structures.
182
Oh, wow.
183
That sounds quite adventurous and maybe a little bit dangerous, too.
184
It can be, so it's important to be very careful and do it safely.
185
But for some people, it's a fascinating way to see forgotten parts of a city.
186
That's certainly different.
187
Another unusual hobby I've heard of is competitive eating.
188
Laugh.
189
Yes, I've seen that on TV.
190
It's definitely not for everyone.
191
No, I agree.
192
And And what about something like geocaching?
193
Ah, yes.
194
Geocaching is like a treasure hunt using GPS coordinates.
195
People hide containers called geocaches and others try to find them.
196
That sounds like a fun way to explore new places and get some exercise.
197
It is.
198
And it's something that people of all ages can enjoy.
199
These are all such interesting and diverse hobbies.
200
It really shows how many different ways people like to spend their free time.
201
Exactly.
202
And it highlights the fact that there's a hobby out there for everyone,
203
no matter what their interests are.
204
So to our listeners, we encourage you to think about what you enjoy.
205
And maybe, try exploring a new hobby.
206
It could bring a lot of joy and fulfillment to your life.
207
And it's also a fantastic way to practice your English.
208
You can find online communities,
209
forums, and even local groups related to your hobby,
210
where you can interact with English speakers.
211
That's a great point, Paul.
212
Whether you're interested in photography,
213
cooking, gaming, or anything else,
214
there are likely English-speaking communities you can connect with.
215
So, don't be shy.
216
Dive in and explore the world of hobbies.
217
You might discover a new passion and make some new friends along the way.
218
Well, Paul, this has been a really interesting conversation.
219
I've enjoyed hearing about your hobbies and discussing the many different ways people spend their free time.
220
Me too, Emily.
221
It's always fun to share our interests and learn from each other.
222
And to our listeners, we hope this episode has inspired you to think about your own hobbies
223
and maybe even try something new.
224
Remember, having hobbies is a wonderful way to enrich your life and make the most of your free time.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
このYouTubeビデオ「英語での趣味について話しましょう」では、趣味を通じてリラックスし、新しいことを学ぶ重要性が強調されています。英語学習の旅において、趣味について話すことは、自分の興味を他の人と共有し、言語スキルを向上させる素晴らしい方法です。特に、shadow speakのテクニックを使って、リスニングとスピーキングの両方を強化することで、効果的に英語を身につけることができます。あなたが興味を持っているトピックで会話をすることで、自信を持って英語を話す力が養われます。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオでは、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現が使われています。以下はその一部です：
- 「What do you like to do when you have some free time?」 - 自分の趣味を尋ねる際の便利なフレーズです。この構造を使って、他の人に自分の趣味を尋ねることができます。
- 「I absolutely love getting lost in a good book.」 - 感情を強調するために「absolutely」を使用することで、気持ちをより明確に表現できます。
- 「It's a lot of fun and a great way to socialize.」 - 別の活動の楽しさを説明したり、その活動が持つ社会的な利点を強調する際に役立つ表現です。
これらのフレーズや文構造を使うことで、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ち、自分の意見をしっかりと伝えることができるようになります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
ビデオ内では、いくつかの難しい発音やアクセントが登場します。特に注意すべきポイントは以下の通りです：
- 「hobby」 - 「h」の発音が重要です。軽く息を吹きかけるように発音しましょう。
- 「absolutely」 - 特に「-lutely」の部分で、強調してはっきり発音することが求められます。
- 「socialize」 - 「so」と「cial」の部分が滑らかに繋がるように注意しましょう。
これらの単語を正しく発音することで、英語の発音を良くする一助となり、話し言葉の流暢さを高めます。
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。
