シャドーイング練習: 비오는 날 영국인이 좋아하는 건? | 영국영어 팟캐스트 This or That ep06 A rainy day walk - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of our This and That podcast with me Rob.

And me Dahlia, hello.

Hello Dahlia, how are you?

Very well thank you.

I haven't really been up to anything interesting but something funny did happen to me this week.

if you want to know.

I looked in my cupboard and I saw a jar and written on the jar by me was a poison.

Endless adventures at Dahlia's house.

It's because it was actually the name of a type of chili flake

because I love chili

and there are all these different types like one is called

silk you know it's less spicy one is more oily

and this one the really really really spicy one is called poison chili

but obviously I know it's chili so I don't need to write chili

so I thought anybody coming to my house who opens the cupboard is going to be shocked

that seems pretty good you that's the only sorry I'm being

so judgmental now that's the only fun thing

that happened in a whole week um well the weather's lovely

um I have a friend visiting today no I've been on holiday

so I'm catching up I think everybody can relate to that you know like You've got all the washing to do, you have to clean the house It's got a bit dusty

Refilling the fridge So it's been a very boring adult week to be honest That's fair enough,

we all have those I'm sure everyone listening at the moment is nodding along furiously Yeah, absolutely You, have you opened your cousin,

opened your cupboard to any I've opened cupboards,

not cousins recently I guess the most interesting thing I've done in the last week is I went sailing You went, I'm sorry, you went sailing?

I went sailing and to answer the question that automatically comes after I say that, no it wasn't posh How can sailing not be posh?

I mean were you like on a shipwreck?

What happened?

I wasn't on a shipwreck, so there was a local sailing club near where I live Sounds posh It's not posh,

because we went there and they had basically an open day

It's a volunteer run sailing club One day a year They let anybody come and try sailing for free For free?

For free, absolutely Sorry, don't you live in Nottingham?

There's no sea there There's no sea, but there are lakes Ah, okay But doesn't it have to be very windy?

No, not particularly So it wasn't, well, it wasn't very windy So to get us back to shore I did have to do some paddling But no,

it was really good It was like the small sailboats that you imagine, like the really basic ones.

This is why it's not posh.

My feet got soaked.

It wasn't kind of like a huge galleon or anything like that.

I don't even know what a galleon is.

It's like a pirate ship kind of thing.

Oh, very cool.

Yeah.

So, no, we did that and it was so much fun.

And we also went out on a powerboat going around the lake

that was really fun is that i don't know what

that is either is that like a motorboat it has a motor exactly it has a motor

and so yeah we did that as well

and it was a lovely charming day

and we wanted to sign up for membership for the sailing club

because we were we fell in love with it immediately

but they ran out of places due to popular demand

and we were sad that's a bit badly the organizer reeling you in and then not letting you join?

Well, it's volunteer run and at the start of the day they said, oh, if you do want to sign up, we've got three more places available.

And I was thinking there's like 150, 200 people here.

Like, I know most of them won't sign up, but even if three of them do, which is what happened when we got around to talking to the guy and saying like,

oh so what about like membership

and stuff he was like nah okay wow well this actually

kind of relates to our topic today ish oh of course absolutely

so today our topic is we are talking about whether it is better to have a rainy day walk

or to stay indoors by the fireplace well and

if people don't know this is called this or

that where you have to choose between two extremes and

And I think this is kind of popular on the internet right now.

I've seen lots of videos.

Absolutely.

It's probably not popular the way we do it, which is to pick both.

But that tends to be what we do.

We either pick neither or both.

That tends to be our approach.

Neither or both.

And if people don't know, these podcasts are unplanned.

We don't know what each other thinks.

So I actually don't know which one you're going to choose.

I can guess.

It's terrifying.

It's so scary.

So ladies first.

if you have to pick one either you're going to go for a rainy day walk

or you're going to stay in by the fireplace

which would you choose well as usual i love and appreciate both

but let's do something fun why don't you guess why don't you guess

which one you think i'm going to pick if i had to

if there's a gun held to my head so i've got a 50 50 chance i think that's really hard I mean,

things that I know about you would lead me in both directions.

If I have to pick, I would say the fireplace.

The other one.

But I would love that too.

That's the point.

Sure.

Because I was thinking you're quite adventurous.

I could see why you would like the idea of like,

yeah, let's go out when it's raining and also have the kind of peace of being out in the rain as well.

am I in the right area as to why you like

uh the rainy walk basically yeah I love I am quite

extreme I think I do love being outdoors I love uh recently went camping

and actually went for a rainy walk um

and I love being in forest you know love running I

love being in nature I love going up mountains unfortunately I don't do it as much as I would like

because you know it's a big deal you've got to have all the right equipment

and most importantly you've got to have people with you who are used to doing it

100

because I would love to go up mountains

101

but I'm scared of getting lost by myself and well dying

102

and the rain rain doesn't bother me because I'm English you know

103

but I also I'm very much a homebody I love sitting at home

104

and reading and stuff like that and it's funny

105

because the fireplace I was thinking my friend went skiing she lives in France so they go skiing

106

often of course and she said oh we should go one day

107

and I was like yeah cool I mean that sounds great

108

but I want to have at least one day where I sit by the fire

109

and I drink hot chocolate and read my book

110

and no one bothers me so that's a good I think summary of

111

that I enjoy both I would enjoy both the skiing even though I'm not good at it

112

and the uh atmospheric sitting by the fire Right.

113

I would pick the other one.

114

I would probably pick the fireplace, although saying that as well, that's what I thought.

115

There is a huge charm to going on rainy walks, and I've done many of them.

116

The fireplace thing, this is actually a little bit difficult to describe,

117

but one of my happiest memories from the past is Christmas Eve.

118

And I wonder, Dalia, do you know what I mean when I say carols from kings?

119

It sounds familiar I'm very familiar with carols I've been in many choirs But isn't that a particular set of carols?

120

Should we define what carols means for any listeners?

121

Oh yes, okay, carols To define carols, we should probably Carols are particularly Christian,

122

I believe I don't know if you have carols in other religious They're Christmas songs They're Christmas religious songs.

123

That are sung together specifically, usually in church.

124

Yes, usually with a choir.

125

Yeah.

126

Usually with a group of people.

127

So Carols from Kings is a TV show that they always have on Christmas Eve.

128

In the huge, huge church, the cathedral.

129

My grandma would listen to that, watch that.

130

Yeah.

131

So the cathedral in question, it's at Cambridge University, I believe.

132

With all the young boys in the white gowns, cloaks.

133

Precisely, yeah.

134

And they will sing a variety of different Christmas songs.

135

And the way it sounds is very, very beautiful and it's very, very peaceful.

136

And one of my favourite memories is on Christmas Eve, being next to the fireplace, surrounded by what I would call comforting darkness,

137

not scary darkness, because there's two kinds, and listening to that.

138

So I have a lot of happiness and peace attached to being around the fireplace.

139

Oh, that's lovely.

140

With nothing particular to do.

141

And, you know, no light on a path.

142

The only light source would be the fireplace.

143

And that makes my heart sing.

144

So I think I would choose that.

145

It's lovely.

146

I mean, I was only talking to someone yesterday.

147

And we were saying that fires are such interesting things because when people sit around a fire, they automatically just sit and stare at the fire.

148

And we were saying

149

that it's kind of one of the only socially acceptable places where it's acceptable to just sit and not talk.

150

If you were doing that anywhere else, you'd be expected to talk to each other.

151

The silence would be weird, but it's one of the only places where you can just sit and stare and enjoy the fire.

152

Absolutely.

153

Absolutely.

154

One thing my wife likes to do, we don't do it that often, but she really does like it,

155

is just to put in the background when we're just, you know, sitting around or doing normal things,

156

put a video on YouTube of a crackling fireplace.

157

Oh, yeah.

158

I used to go to sleep.

159

That used to really help me sleep.

160

The sound of a crackling fire is so relaxing.

161

Absolutely, yeah, so I would pick

162

that Now I want to be fair to rainy walks

163

Because they are wonderful I very much like rainy walks Particularly

164

when you can get to a place Where you're shielded from the rain And you can just watch it happen Oh yeah,

165

cosy That's wonderful I don't like being in the rain very much Especially if the rain is strong

166

If I know that I can get changed pretty soon And I'm going somewhere warm then I think it's not that bad. But yeah, if you know you're going to be stuck all day wet

167

especially wet feet I mean wet feet is the worst thing ever absolutely agree with

168

that yeah there was a time

169

when I was in Beijing with uh my wife who wasn't

170

my wife at the time she's just my girlfriend then

171

and her best friend we were just walking around an area of Beijing going to get some dinner

172

and it rained so hard like much harder than it typically even does in the UK

173

like torrential rain absolutely torrential and they were fine walking along you know having decent conversation

174

and enjoying themselves

175

and I just said to him like I have to stop

176

like my my shoes are 100% full of water I just cannot continue walking like this

177

and it didn't bother them at all.

178

It bothered me hugely.

179

Interesting.

180

Any idea why it didn't bother them?

181

I don't.

182

Well, they're probably more grown up and mature and resilient than me would be my guess.

183

Fair enough.

184

Yeah, that's probably the actual answer, but I'll pretend it's something else instead.

185

You know, something just came to mind.

186

You know, I just said I've been on holiday.

187

This wasn't planned.

188

We didn't choose today's topic because of that.

189

But that's actually a perfect example of how extreme I am

190

because I took so much stuff which I really regret

191

and I had to lug it and it was really awful

192

but the reason I had so much stuff is

193

because I really love both

194

so I had walking boots for camping I had my running shoes for running

195

and all the clothes that come with

196

that like the thermals the rain jacket the jumper but I also had a backpack full of my kindle

197

my notebook my pens my books my this and that

198

so I was prepared for both and I'm not advocating for

199

that because it was a misery to lug it around

200

but yeah I appreciate both well it's interesting I bet you

201

could tell a lot about a person by looking at what

202

they've taken with them for travel well well the first word

203

somebody would probably use is high maintenance I mean I don't No, if you have a lot of stuff, then I don't know.

204

You could read that many ways.

205

You could possibly read it as high maintenance, but you could also read it as like, well, the person likes a lot of different things.

206

And, you know.

207

It's true.

208

And plans to do a lot.

209

Yeah.

210

I mean, it was quite funny.

211

I had a head torch alongside fountain pens, which was quite funny.

212

So literally, whatever situation, whatever kind of niche situation happens, I've got the particular thing. So like.

213

I'll be there in the middle of a field making a note with a hundred pound fountain pen with a head torch.

214

Absolutely, carving into a tree.

215

Absolutely not, my god, I'd damage the pen.

216

Don't even joke about it.

217

No, no, I mean like with a Swiss army knife or something like that.

218

I would love a Swiss army knife, I would really love one.

219

I do have a bottle opener on my keys for opening mineral water, so that's as close as I'll get to a Swiss army knife.

220

Jolly good.

221

Okay, excellent.

222

So we need to wrap up there.

223

So interestingly, we both did pick one today.

224

We actually picked one.

225

We did.

226

And they were different.

227

Wow, wasn't that exciting.

228

Okay, so it's great to see you, Dahlia.

229

You too.

230

I hope everyone listening is having a wonderful day and we will be back for our next episode soon.

231

Indeed.

232

And let us know in the comments which one would you pick, why, and are they the same as ours?

233

Absolutely.

234

Okay, so see you all soon.

235

Bye bye.

236

Take care.

237

Bye bye.

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。
