The Selfish Crocodile by Foston Charles and illustrated by Michael Terry.
2
Deep in the forest in the river lived a large crocodile.
3
He was a very selfish crocodile.
4
He didn't want any other creature to drink or bathe in the river.
5
He thought it was his river.
6
Every day he shouted to the creatures of the forest,
7
stay away from my river,
8
it's my river, if you come in my river I'll eat you all.
9
So there were no fish,
10
no tadpoles, no frogs, no crabs,
11
no crayfish in the river.
12
all were afraid of the selfish crocodile.
13
The forest creatures kept away from the river as well.
14
Whenever they were thirsty they went for miles to drink in other rivers and streams.
15
Every day the crocodile lay on his great big back in the sun,
16
picking his big sharp teeth with a stick.
17
But early one morning, the forest was awakened by a loud groaning sound.
18
Something was in terrible pain.
19
The creatures thought that it was an animal caught by the crocodile.
20
But as the sun came out brightly,
21
they saw that it was the crocodile who was in pain.
22
He was laying on his big back,
23
holding his swollen jaw, and he was crying real tears.
24
The creatures drew closer, but not too close.
25
Some of the creatures felt sorry for the crocodile.
26
What's the matter with him? asked a deer.
27
I don't know, said a squirrel.
28
Maybe he's going to die.
29
chirped a bird.
30
If that happens it'll be safe to go in the river grunted a wild pig.
31
The animals thought about this.
32
They hung from branches.
33
They hung from vines.
34
They buzzed in the air and they shook their heads as they watched the great big crocodile in pain.
35
No animal tried to help.
36
Suddenly, a little mouse appeared, sniffing the air.
37
He ran along the crocodile's tail, then onto his tummy.
38
The other creatures stared.
39
Look at that mouse, chattered a monkey.
40
He's either very brave or mad.
41
He's going to be eaten for sure, said an iguana.
42
The mouse crept along the crocodile's big neck and into his open mouth.
43
There was a hush in the forest.
44
The mouse got hold of something and pulled and pulled and pulled.
45
Then he put it on his shoulder and walked out of the crocodile's mouth.
46
There was a loud cheer from the astonished creatures.
47
The crocodile sat up and said,
48
I don't feel any more pain, it's all gone.
49
Then he saw the mouse walking down his tummy,
50
carrying an enormous crocodile tooth on his shoulder.
51
Your bad tooth was giving you the toothache answered the mouse turning around to face the now smiling crocodile
52
Do you want it back?
53
Oh no, no, no, no,
54
get rid of it And when you've done that Come back,
55
I'll have a present for you The mouse went and buried the bad tooth under a tree,
56
and when he returned, the crocodile had a nice,
57
juicy nut waiting for him.
58
As the crocodile watched the mouse eating the nut,
59
he said to him, You are very clever getting rid of my toothache, and kind too.
60
I am so grateful, but what shall I do if my toothache comes back?
61
Don't worry, I'll help you take care of your teeth,
62
answered the mouse, nibbling.
63
Soon the crocodile and the mouse were the best of friends.
64
And one day the crocodile sent all the animals an invitation.
65
Please come to drink and bathe in the river I won't hurt you The river belongs to us all,
66
he said
67
The creatures weren't afraid to drink and bathe in the river anymore
68
Although the crocodile was sometimes snappy They grew to love him
69
And soon the river was full of fish and tadpoles and crabs and crayfish Press the button below to subscribe,

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
『利己的なワニ』というビデオは、英語学習者にとって非常に有益です。このストーリーは、自己中心的なワニが苦しむ過程を描写しています。このような物語を通じて、英語を話す際の文脈や感情の表現を学ぶことができます。IELTS スピーキング対策としても、こうした物語の中の感情や状況を使って自然な会話を練習することが大変効果的です。毎日の学習にYouTubeで英語学習を取り入れ、このビデオを利用して、実際の会話で使える表現や語彙を身につけましょう。
文法とコンテキストにおける表現
このビデオから学べるいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現を紹介します。
- 「私の川」 - 所有を示すフレーズで、会話の中で物や場所について話す時に便利です。
- 「全ての動物が恐れていた」 - 過去形を使った文で、物語の背景を説明する際に重要です。
- 「痛みを抱えていた」 - 現在進行形で感情や状態を表現する際に役立ちます。
- 「何が問題なの？」 - 問いかけの文で、誰かの状況を尋ねる時に使われます。
これらの表現は、shadowspeakの練習や日常会話の中でぜひ活用してください。
一般的な発音のトラップ
このビデオには、英語を学ぶ上での発音の挑戦がいくつか含まれています。特に、以下の単語やフレーズには注意が必要です。
- 「selfish」 - この単語の「s」と「f」の発音に気を付けて、スムーズに言えるように練習しましょう。
- 「crocodile」 - 母音の音に注意して、にごりのない発音を心がけましょう。
- 「pain」 - 二重母音の部分をしっかりと発音することで、自然な会話を目指しましょう。
これらの音に対して注意を払い、shadow speakの練習をする際には、ビデオを見ながら実際に声に出してみてください。発音の向上は、実際の会話において非常に重要です。
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。
