6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello,
2
this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
A list is a collection of items with a single item written on each line.
6
And they're everywhere.
7
Shopping lists, to-do lists, even bucket lists.
8
A list of all the things a person would like to do before they die.
9
In fact, there's an episode of Six Minute English all about them.
10
Imagine you're at the supermarket and find someone's shopping list.
11
This happens a lot to Jo Nolan,
12
a linguistics researcher whose new book explores our love of lists.
13
Here's Jo reading her shopping list on BBC Radio 4 programme Word of Mouth.
14
I only list the first four items but the list read Nanas, aye-aye, puke, shrooms.
15
Nanas, aye-aye, puke, shrooms?
16
Can you work out what Joe was buying at the supermarket, Phil?
17
OK, well I'm going to guess that Nanas are bananas and shrooms,
18
they've got to be mushrooms, right?
19
OK, but what about aye-aye and puke?
20
What could they mean?
21
Well, here's Jo's explanation to Michael Rosen,
22
presenter of BBC Radio 4's Word of Mouth.
23
And let's just come back to puke.
24
I mean, were you instructing yourself to be sick in the supermarket?
25
I'm just a bit lost there.
26
No, it's slightly grotesque.
27
My husband doesn't like cucumber and the abbreviation for cucumber would be cuke,
28
so he has always referred to it as puke.
29
Aha!
30
Cucumbers make Joanna's husband puke,
31
a slang word for vomit.
32
And puke rhymes with cuke,
33
so it's a way of reminding her to buy cucumbers.
34
Wow, sometimes lists are like secret codes.
35
In this episode, we'll find out why people love lists and learn some useful new words and phrases.
36
And remember, you'll find another list of all the vocabulary used on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
37
But first, a question for you, Beth.
38
According to the list on the Internet Movie Database website,
39
which movie has made the most money ever?
40
Is it A.
41
Titanic B.
42
Avengers Endgame Or C.
43
Avatar I think it might be Avatar,
44
although that might have been the most expensive to make.
45
I'm not sure.
46
OK, well we'll find out at the end of the programme.
47
Popular songs are full of lists,
48
and one of the most famous is My Favourite Things,
49
sung by Julie Andrews in the film The Sound of Music.
50
The song lists all her favourite things,
51
from raindrops on roses to whiskers on kittens.
52
Here, Jo Nolan and Michael Rosen discuss the song on BBC Radio 4 programme Word of Mouth.
53
I feel like you get a big bang for your buck in that song.
54
Maybe it's the positivity.
55
It's a bit saccharine.
56
Maybe that's also part of the issue.
57
The list encourages you to think really efficiently and economically.
58
So I think you don't waste a lot of time and effort making a nice sentence or using long words.
59
You just get to the nub of things quite quickly.
60
The song's list of favourite things is long and Jo says you get a big bang for your buck,
61
an idiom meaning that you gain a lot in return for the money or effort you spend on something.
62
But not everyone likes the song.
63
Some call it saccharine, an adjective meaning excessively sweet, sentimental or insincere.
64
Lists often abbreviate the items they contain,
65
so you get to the nub of things quickly.
66
The nub of something means the most important or essential point about it.
67
Lists can be useful as well.
68
Here's Jo Nolan giving an example of a useful list to BBC Radio 4's Word of Mouth.
69
A friend of mine who makes pros and cons lists finds that it really helps her resolve a situation.
70
She halves her page, pros,
71
cons, and she said by the end of it,
72
she knows what what she's doing.
73
Lists help us make decisions by writing down all the pros and cons of a situation.
74
The pros and cons is another way of saying the advantages and disadvantages of something,
75
especially when you're trying to choose between them.
76
The more you think about it,
77
the more you see lists everywhere – in menus and bank statements, for example.
78
And therapists even recommend listing all the good things in your life to feel happier.
79
Not bad for a few words on a scrap of paper.
80
OK, it's time to reveal the answer to my question.
81
Beth, I asked you which movie had made the most money ever,
82
and you said Avatar.
83
And now, according to the Internet Movie Database, that's exactly right.
84
Yay!
85
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
86
starting with bucket list – all the things you would like to do before you die.
87
Puke is slang for vomit or sick.
88
If something gives bang for your buck,
89
you gain a lot of extra value in return for the money or effort you put into it.
90
If you call something saccharine,
91
you criticise it for being too sweet or sentimental.
92
The nub of a problem or situation is the most important or essential thing about it.
93
And finally, something's pros and cons are its advantages and disadvantages.
94
Once again, our six minutes are up.
95
But remember, you'll find a quiz and worksheet for this episode over on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
96
Goodbye for now!
97
Bye!

段階的シャドーイングガイド
このビデオのシャドーイングを実践することで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。まず、リスニングから始めましょう。内容を理解するために、いくつかのステップに分けて練習します。以下は、効果的な練習方法です：
- ビデオを最初に通しで観る。全体の内容を把握する。
- 短いセクションごとに分け、スピーカーの発音を注意深く聞く。
- 特に難しいフレーズを何度も繰り返し聞く。「英語シャドーイング」を実践するために、スピーカーの言葉を自分の声で繰り返す。
- 自分の声を録音し、スピーカーの発音と比較してみる。これにより、英語の発音を良くすることができます。
- 最後に、自分なりの解釈を加えてリストに関連する新しいフレーズを使って会話を練習する。
このように、YouTubeで英語学習を行うことで、IELTSスピーキング対策にも役立ちます。継続して練習を重ね、徐々に自信を持って話せるようになりましょう。
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。
