Hi everyone!
2
Welcome to Let's Talk in English on PTS and the radio.
3
My name's Andrea.
4
And I am Gabe.
5
And have you been practicing talking about yourself and introducing yourself?
6
That would be a good thing to do.
7
Well we have been introduced to many new people this week.
8
All of you met a new teacher, Gabe.
9
And Gabe's been telling us a bit more about himself.
10
That's right, I have been introducing myself.
11
And also, we have been introduced to different people in small town, like Sarah and Max, her brother.
12
That's right, we also met Renee, who is the waitress at the diner, and what is her husband's name?
13
Her husband's name is Simon, that's right.
14
Yes, it's been a lot of fun meeting our new friends small town and today we'll meet some other new people.
15
Let's begin by looking at our key words.
16
Please say them with us.
17
Personal.
18
Personal.
19
Don't ask someone's age.
20
That's a personal question.
21
Editor.
22
Editor.
23
The editor really likes the story you wrote for the newspaper.
24
Salesman.
25
Salesman.
26
That salesman will try to sell you some new books.
27
Now, friends, let's say these keywords together again.
28
The first one is personal.
29
Personal.
30
Editor.
31
Editor.
32
Salesman.
33
Salesman.
34
Thank you, everyone.
35
Now let's go see Eddie.
36
Eddie!
37
Okay, I have a personal question.
38
You do?
39
For you, Gabe. For me?
40
Yes, for you, Gabe.
41
Uh-oh.
42
Okay, here it is.
43
Ready?
44
Ready?
45
Yes.
46
Do you like me?
47
Do I like you?
48
Mm-hmm.
49
Well, Eddie, of course I like you.
50
You're kind of a cute little cat thing, aren't you?
51
Yeah, yeah, I'm a meerkat.
52
Thanks.
53
Yeah, great.
54
And I like getting to know you.
55
But right now, I'm wondering if you have the mission for today.
56
Oh, of course.
57
The mission.
58
Today's mission is who is Sarah's letter from?
59
Who is Sarah's letter from?
60
We'll find out today.
61
Okay, let's begin with our look at small town.
62
Sarah, how are you?
63
How's your boyfriend?
64
Betty, you know I don't have a boyfriend.
65
I know, but you will someday.
66
Sorry, I asked too many personal questions.
67
I don't mind.
68
Guess what?
69
I just started a blog about life in small town.
70
Great.
71
Do you write about me? Of course.
72
I have to write about our town's postmistress.
73
And the editor of our town newspaper.
74
That's right.
75
Well, friends, we meet another new person.
76
We meet Betty.
77
Now, Gabe, where does Betty work?
78
Well, Betty works in the post office of Small Town.
79
We also find out that Betty likes to ask many personal questions.
80
Now, what personal question does she ask Sarah?
81
She says, Sarah, how's your boyfriend?
82
But Sarah doesn't have a boyfriend, but Betty does ask this personal question.
83
Well, let's learn our keyword, personal.
84
Personal.
85
If something is personal, that means you don't tell everyone about it.
86
You just share personal things with some people who are close to you.
87
Right, you share these personal things,
88
and then you ask personal questions only to people that you are comfortable asking these questions to.
89
Now, Gabe, can I ask you a personal question?
90
Okay, go ahead, Andrea.
91
How old are you?
92
Dread, that is a personal question.
93
You know I don't like talking about my age.
94
Okay, Gabe, I'm sorry.
95
I know it's a personal question, but I just wanted to give our friends an example of a personal question.
96
Okay, very nice.
97
Well, how old are you?
98
Well, Gabe, that's a personal question.
99
I'm not going to answer that in front of everyone.
100
Okay, good idea.
101
Alright, now another good idea is to learn our next keyword.
102
It is editor.
103
Editor.
104
Now, an editor is someone who works on books or at a newspaper.
105
They check to make sure all the words are correct before the book or the newspaper goes to people.
106
That's right.
107
There can be an editor for a book or an editor for a newspaper or even for magazines or movies.
108
These are the people that work on these things.
109
And we find out that Betty is the editor of the newspaper.
110
Did I get any mail today?
111
I don't know.
112
I'm just starting to put out the mail.
113
Look, here's a letter for Max.
114
It's from Rose Parker.
115
I wonder who she is.
116
I don't know.
117
I'll ask him when he comes in.
118
Good idea.
119
Here's a letter for you.
120
It's from your parents.
121
Great.
122
Everybody, this is exciting.
123
We have just found the answer to today's mission right here.
124
And the mission is, who is Sarah's letter from?
125
Who is Sarah's letter from?
126
Sarah's letter is from her parents.
127
It's from her parents.
128
That must be nice to get a letter from your parents.
129
Andrea, do you like getting packages and letters in the mail?
130
Yes, I do, Gabe.
131
I always get excited whenever I get mail.
132
That's great.
133
So do I.
134
And mail, of course, is the way that things are sent from one address to another.
135
It's sent in the mail.
136
And some people have to go to the post office to get their mail.
137
That's why Sarah goes to see Betty at the post office.
138
Sarah's at the post office and Betty says that there is a letter for Max and it's from Rose Parker.
139
Wait, Andrea, isn't that kind of personal to be looking at someone else's mail?
140
Yes, Gabe, you're right.
141
It is personal, but we know that Betty just wants to know these things, so she's wondering.
142
She wants to know who Rose Parker is.
143
Hi, girls.
144
Hugh, my favorite salesman.
145
What are you selling today?
146
Well, you know, whenever I come to town, I always bring something interesting.
147
We know.
148
Well, today is no different.
149
Here.
150
A book?
151
Open it.
152
Hey, there are no pages in this book.
153
That's right.
154
You don't read this book.
155
You keep things in it.
156
No thanks, Hugh.
157
Someday you'll buy something from me, Betty.
158
Maybe.
159
Well, we meet Betty's favorite salesman, and he always brings interesting things to sell.
160
He comes into the post office, and Gabe, what is his name?
161
Well, his name is Hugh.
162
H-U-G-H, Hugh.
163
Yes, and Hugh is there.
164
He is a salesman.
165
And that's our keyword.
166
Let's learn it.
167
Salesman.
168
Salesman.
169
A salesman is a man who sells things.
170
A salesman might come to your house, or you might meet a salesman at a store.
171
And when a salesman is working, he wants to go out and try to sell things to people.
172
He is trying to make a sale.
173
That's what a salesman does.
174
He makes sales.
175
And what is Hugh, the salesman, selling today?
176
Well, he is trying to sell a book, but it is a special book, isn't it?
177
It is a special book.
178
What kind of book is this?
179
Well, it's not a book that you read.
180
It's a book that you keep things in.
181
That's different, isn't it?
182
It is a little bit different, but Betty likes different things, and Hugh wants to try to sell this to her.
183
But today, Hugh doesn't get a sale.
184
He doesn't sell anything.
185
But, Hugh, maybe next time.
186
Sarah, how are you?
187
How's your boyfriend?
188
Betty, you know I don't have a boyfriend.
189
I know, but you will someday.
190
Sorry, I asked too many personal questions.
191
I don't mind.
192
Guess what?
193
I just started a blog about life in small towns.
194
Great!
195
Do you write about me? Of course!
196
I have to write about our town's postmistress.
197
And the editor of our town newspaper.
198
That's right.
199
Did I get any mail today?
200
I don't know.
201
I'm just starting to put out the mail.
202
I'll put out the mail.
203
Look!
204
Here's a letter for Max.
205
It's from Rose Parker.
206
I wonder who she is.
207
I don't know.
208
I'll ask him when he comes in.
209
Good idea.
210
Here's a letter for you.
211
It's from your parents.
212
Great!
213
Hi, girls.
214
Phew!
215
My favorite salesman.
216
What are you selling today?
217
Well, you know, whenever I come to town, I always bring something interesting.
218
We know.
219
Well, today is no different.
220
Here.
221
A book.
222
Open it.
223
Hey!
224
There are no pages in this book.
225
That's right.
226
You don't read this book.
227
You keep things in it.
228
No thanks, Hugh.
229
Someday, you'll buy something from me, Betty.
230

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。
