33
Yes, I am.
34
Okay, everybody.
35
Merry Christmas.
36
That's right.
37
Today is Christmas and we have a special Christmas mission.
38
Yeah.
39
Right?
40
Yes, yes, yes.
41
Can I give it?
42
Yeah.
43
Okay.
44
All right.
45
Here it is.
46
Today's mission is what isn't Christmas about?
47
What isn't Christmas about?
48
Well, let's go and look into our wonderful lesson and find out the answer to this question.
49
That was a great party.
50
Yeah, I love Christmas.
51
Me too.
52
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
53
Yes, it is.
54
I have so many special memories about Christmas.
55
Tell us about one of them.
56
Well, every year there's a special Christmas Eve program at my church back home.
57
That's nice.
58
Yes, it's usually a beautiful service, but one year something happened.
59
What happened?
60
What happened?
61
What happened, Gabe?
62
Andrea, we don't know.
63
Something happened, but we'll find out soon.
64
But do you know what we can do right now?
65
Maybe teach a keyword?
66
Yeah, that's right.
67
We got two keywords here, friends.
68
Here friends, the first one we're going to look at is wonderful.
69
Say it again, wonderful.
70
Wonderful means great or really good, excellent.
71
If something is wonderful, then it gives you a good feeling.
72
It's wonderful.
73
Max says that Christmas is the most wonderful time of year.
74
That means it is the best time of year.
75
So he's talking about the most wonderful time of the year, but many things can be wonderful, right?
76
Maybe you saw a movie that you thought was wonderful, Or maybe you went to a concert and the music was wonderful.
77
Or when you have a really good day, you can say, oh, what a wonderful day.
78
What a wonderful day.
79
Well, we have another wonderful keyword here, everybody.
80
The keyword is church.
81
Say it again.
82
Church.
83
A church is where Christians go to get together, especially on Sundays.
84
They go to a church.
85
And what do you do at a church?
86
Well, you meet people, you listen to someone share, you sing songs at church.
87
Church is a place to celebrate peace and joy.
88
You can go to the church.
89
that means you are going to the church building.
90
But if you say, I am going to church, that means I am going to meet with other people at the church.
91
What happened?
92
Well, one of the ladies at church got too close to the candles.
93
I remember that.
94
It was Mrs. Chen.
95
Her hair caught on fire.
96
Right.
97
She wore hats for a month after that.
98
Oh, no. What is one of your Christmas memories, Simon?
99
I remember my first white Christmas.
100
I love getting snow on Christmas.
101
Well, friends, we find out what happened in this conversation.
102
Gabe, you are standing very close to me.
103
I am?
104
I'm too close to you?
105
Well, a little too close, yes.
106
Oh, well, I guess I shouldn't be this close.
107
I'll go a little further away.
108
Well, that's nice, Gabe.
109
We're still close to each other.
110
This is just a bit more comfortable.
111
Okay, good.
112
All right, now, Gabe, what happened at Renee's church?
113
Well, one of the ladies got too close to the candles.
114
That's not a good thing.
115
No, that's not.
116
But we do see some key words here.
117
That is a good thing.
118
The first one is close.
119
Close.
120
Now, if you are standing close to something, that means you are near it.
121
You are not far away.
122
Don't get too close to the fire, otherwise you might get burned.
123
We also use this word with the word together.
124
Something is close together.
125
That means it is very close with something else.
126
Two things are close together.
127
And of course, you don't want to get too close to candles.
128
We found out what can happen in our conversation.
129
Our key word is candle.
130
Candle.
131
A candle is something that you use to make light.
132
When it's dark outside, you can light a candle to see where you are going.
133
And you just said light a candle.
134
That's what you do with a candle.
135
You light it.
136
That means you add fire to the candle.
137
Here's another way to use this word.
138
How many candles are on your cake?
139
That's another way of asking, how old are you?
140
And we see lots of candles around Christmas time.
141
People use candles to decorate.
142
You might also see snow at Christmas time.
143
Our key word is snow.
144
Snow.
145
Now snow is white and cold and it falls from the sky when it's very cold outside.
146
Andrea, I got some snow for you.
147
Oh!
148
Oh no. Oh Gabe.
149
It's not snow anymore, it's just water.
150
Oh, well, that's what happens when snow gets too warm.
151
Yeah, sorry.
152
Well, thank you for the water.
153
Snow.
154
Snow?
155
Yeah.
156
The day was great.
157
My family sang songs and prayed together.
158
Then you opened your presents?
159
Yes, and then my brother and I had a snowball fight.
160
What a fun day.
161
So, what presents did you get?
162
You know, I can't remember.
163
Isn't that interesting?
164
That just shows us Christmas isn't about the presents.
165
That's right.
166
It's about the moments we've shared together.
167
That's good.
168
What does Kelly say Christmas is about?
169
Kelly says that Christmas is about the moments you share together.
170
Well, we also found the answer to our mission, which is what isn't Christmas about.
171
What isn't Christmas about?
172
Christmas isn't about the present.
173
No, it's not.
174
It's about the times that you share together.
175
We also learned a little bit about what Simon did with his family.
176
We find out that his family sang songs and they prayed together.
177
Let's look at this key word, friends.
178
Pray.
179
Pray.
180
Pray.
181
When you pray, that means you talk to God or you talk with God.
182
You pray.
183
Yes, you pray.
184
Now, how do you pray?
185
Will you just talk to God like he is your friend?
186
You can pray at church.
187
You can pray at home.
188
You can pray anywhere.
189
And you can use this word like this.
190
It has been very, very hot recently.
191
So the farmers are all praying for rain.
192
Karen and her family always pray together before they eat.
193
When they pray, they thank God for the food.
194
Inspector E.
195
Hi, friends.
196
It's Mrs. E here.
197
Merry Christmas!
198
This week, our friends celebrate Christmas.
199
But Hugh wants to work.
200
But he changes his mind later.
201
Simon says something that we can all learn together.
202
Let's look again.
203
Even Hugh got into the Christmas spirit.
204
Even Hugh got into the Christmas spirit.
205
Even Hugh got into the Christmas spirit.
206
Hugh got into the Christmas spirit.
207
That means Hugh started to really enjoy Christmas.
208
To get into something means to start liking it or becoming more interested in it.
209
When you use to get into something, it means before you were not interested or you didn't really enjoy it.
210
But now you enjoy it and you like it.
211
Here is one example.
212
Danny got into bike riding on weekends.
213
That means Danny started to ride bikes on the weekends and he really likes it.
214
Now I hope you are getting into English and really enjoying it.
215
And I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
216
This is Mrs. E signing off.
217
That was a great party.
218
Yeah, I love Christmas.
219
Me too.
220
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
221
Yes, it is.
222
I have so many special memories about Christmas.
223
Tell us about one of them.
224
Well, every year there's a special Christmas Eve program at my church back home.
225
That's nice.
226
Yes, it's usually a beautiful service, but one year something happened.
227
What happened?
228
Well, one of the ladies at church got too close to the candles.
229
I remember that.
230
It was Mrs. Chen.
231
Her hair caught on fire.
232
Right.
233
She wore hats for months after that.
234
Oh, no. What is one of your Christmas...
235
It's about
236
the moment we've shared together.
237
Calendar phrase.
238
Merry Christmas, Andrea.
239
Merry Christmas, Gabe.
240
Merry Christmas, friends.
241
That's right.
242
Today's calendar phrase is Merry Christmas.
243
Merry Christmas.
244
Of course, this is a great phrase to know.
245
These two words, Merry Christmas.
246
It is Christmas today, right?
247
It is.
248
And the word merry means happy.
249
When you say Merry Christmas, you're telling your friends and family you want them to enjoy this special holiday.
250
So say that sometime today and let's learn more with today's skit.
251
Merry Christmas!
252

266

268

269

275
Well, my favorite memory during winter is my winter wedding.

この動画が英語スピーキング練習に最適な理由
YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、この動画は初心者から中級者までぴったりの教材です。自然な会話のリズムや日常的な表現が豊富で、シャドーイング（shadow speak）の練習に最適です。特にクリスマスをテーマにした会話は親しみやすく、覚えやすいため、学習意欲を持続させながら実践的なスキルを身につけられます。
自然な表現を分解してみよう
動画の中から3つの表現を取り上げ、なぜ自然なのか説明しましょう。
- "I am having a wonderful day."："wonderful"は"great"よりも少しフォーマルで温かみのある表現で、日常会話でも使えます。現在進行形を使うことで、「今この瞬間も素晴らしい」というニュアンスが伝わります。
- "Stand close together, then you can all be in the photo."："close together"は「近くに集まって」という自然な言い方で、命令形の"Stand"と組み合わせることで、親しい人同士の会話らしさが出ています。"then"を使うことで、前後の関係が明確になり、流れがスムーズです。
- "When I'm happy or sad, I pray and talk to Jesus."："when"を使った時間の条件文は非常に一般的で、"happy or sad"の対比が感情の変化を鮮明に表しています。"pray and talk to"は「祈って話す」という自然な連続動作を表し、宗教的な文脈でも使いやすい表現です。
効果的な練習ルーティン：shadow speechの方法
この動画を使ったシャドーイング練習のステップは次の通りです。まず、動画を1文ずつ再生し、すぐにその後に続いて同じ文を発音します（shadow speak）。このとき、リズムやイントネーション、発音をできるだけ似せるように意識します。次に、録音機能を使って自分の声を録り、元の動画と比較して違いを見つけます。最後に、全体を一度に再生して、会話の流れに合わせて自然に発話できるようになるまで繰り返し練習します。この方法は英語スピーキング練習に非常に効果的で、短期間で流暢さが向上します。
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。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | we've shared · has been |
| 最上級 the -est / the most … — グループの中で一番 | the most wonderful · the best |
| 「might / may」による可能性 might/may + 動詞 — 起こりうるが確実ではないこと | might get · might also see |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — 後ろに-ing形が続く動詞 | love getting · start liking |
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。
