The Incredible Shrinking Duck When Peep fell asleep,
2
the ground was cold and bare.
3
But then, just before dawn, it started to snow.
4
Snow!
5
There's snow everywhere!
6
Along with sun and clouds and fog and rain, snow is Peep's favorite weather to wake up to.
7
I love snow!
8
I don't know any one who doesn't love snow.
9
Hi, Peep.
10
Hi, Chirp.
11
I'm coming over.
12
I love snow.
13
I love...
14
Hi, Chirp.
15
Come play in the snow.
16
It's fun.
17
You're having fun?
18
Oh, yeah.
19
Oops.
20
Oof.
21
This is too much snow for anyone.
22
Okay, it's too much snow for birds.
23
Quack!
24
How come you're not sinking?
25
Big, flat, duck feet.
26
Come on, let's play!
27
Come on, Chirp!
28
Hmm.
29
Duck feet, one more thing that makes ducks the best.
30
We're coming, Quack!
31
We're here, Quack.
32
We'll get you out.
33
Um, how is this?
34
Helping?
35
Hmm.
36
I don't know.
37
Get me out of here!
38
Hmm.
39
Huh?
40
Grab the branch, Quack!
41
Quack.
42
Hey.
43
You know what that looks like?
44
Like snow with the duck hole in it?
45
No. Okay, go behind the tree and, uh, no peeking.
46
Okay-kay?
47
Hmm.
48
Chirp!
49
This looks like you!
50
Where's my face?
51
Hmm...
52
Just.. just for the mix that...
53
That's not.. oh, that's perfect.
54
Quack?
55
No, no, no, no, not.. not yet, not yet!
56
Okay!
57
Now!
58
It's a snow duck!
59
Not just a snow duck.
60
The biggest snow duck ever, ever, ever!
61
Nice.
62
What are you doing?
63
Ah, you guys look so excited when I let you see it.
64
That I, uh, want everyone to be surprised.
65
Now, no one can see it until I unveil it.
66
Hey, what's in there?
67
Something amazing.
68
Wait, and it shall be revealed.
69
So Quack told all his other friends to meet him by the tree.
70
Where they would be surprised, delighted, and after that, amazed.
71
It took all day, but Quack finally had everyone in place.
72
Are you ready?
73
Hey, Quack, weren't those icicles much bigger before?
74
So, they didn't come to see icicles.
75
Ah!
76
Oh!
77
Ta-da!
78
Hey!
79
I waited all day for that!
80
That's not my snow duck!
81
Who took it?
82
This isn't funny!
83
Alright, who took it?
84
We were here the whole time.
85
We didn't see anyone take it.
86
This is an impossible mystery.
87
Ew!
88
Ew!
89
Wet!
90
Wet!
91
Ah!
92
Wet!
93
Wet!
94
Ew!
95
Hmm.
96
Hey, Chirt, wasn't the snow up to our beaks before?
97
This is worse than I thought.
98
Someone came and took snow from everywhere!
99
Quack!
100
Quack?
101
Shh!
102
I'm staring.
103
Does it look smaller again, or is it...
104
Hmm.
105
Just me.
106
Look around.
107
The snow was turning to water.
108
Quack realized Peep was right.
109
No one had stolen his snow duck.
110
It had melted into water.
111
Oh, it figures I make the best snow duck ever, and he's all wet.
112
Look at this.
113
There's water everywhere!
114
Like I said, water is everywhere!
115
Water, water, water, water, water!
116
Oh, there's nothing like a puddle, except for ducks and puddles.
117
Oh, there's nothing anywhere you'll see.
118
Better than a puddle made for ducks like me.
119
Thank you.
120
My mom took me, Anthony, and Eric to the park.
121
Mom, do you have some ice in the cooler?
122
I do, yes.
123
Can we top it out?
124
The ice is melting because the sidewalk is so hot.
125
The ice is changing to water, and the water changes the color of the sidewalk.
126
It makes it darker.
127
Wow, we can paint using ice cubes.
128
That's freezing.
129
I tried drawing a face with ice.
130
The marks from the ice start to get thicker because the water is spreading out.
131
See, it starts to get thicker.
132
I am making my name on the sidewalk.
133
My name disappeared because of the sun.
134
We started using brushes to paint on things with water.
135
While I'm painting, the water just goes away.
136
It's all drying up really fast.
137
I can't keep up with it.
138
I'm painting a butterfly and the picture has speeded up.
139
You can see the water drying up and going away fast.
140
It really takes longer to dry up.
141
I'm going to see what happens when I paint on the wood on the bench.
142
It doesn't show up very well.
143
The sidewalk works much better than the wood.
144
Try playing with water and ice and see how they change over time.

このレッスンで学べること

「The Incredible Shrinking Duck」というYouTubeで英語学習の動画を使って、自然な会話のリズムや発音、日常的なフレーズを練習します。雪の中での小鳥たちの会話は、親しみやすい語彙と明快なテンポが特徴で、shadowing(シャドーイング)の練習に最適です。物語の展開に合わせて発音を真似し、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、会話の流れを感じることができます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • bare:(地面が)裸の、草が生えていない
  • dawn:夜明け
  • sinking:沈む、足がつかえる
  • grab:つかむ、握る
  • How come you're not sinking?:どうして沈まないの?
  • Get me out of here!:ここから出して!

Shadowingの練習コツ

この動画の会話は子供向けですが、自然なスピードと抑揚があり、shadow speechの練習に最適です。まずは動画を1回見て全体の流れを把握し、次に1文ずつ止めながら真似してみましょう。「I love snow!」のような感情豊かなフレーズは、声の高さや強さも合わせて真似すると、より自然な発音が身につきます。また、「Hmm.」「Oops.」などの間投詞も、会話のリアリティを感じるポイントです。shadowing siteを使って繰り返し練習すると、リズム感が向上します。何度も繰り返して、自分の声が動画の発音に近づくことを目指しましょう。

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。
