Traveling by train.
7
Hi, I'm Grace.
8
Last month, my best friend Jane got married.
9
Her wedding was in a different city from where I live.
10
I had the joy of attending Jane's wedding.
11
So I traveled there by train.
12
Usually, you need to buy a ticket before boarding a train.
13
I bought my ticket through the train's website one month in advance.
14
You can also buy a ticket in person at the ticket office.
15
usually located inside the train station,
16
or you could use a kiosk.
17
At first, I was thinking about traveling in first class,
18
but I wanted to save money,
19
so I chose second class instead.
20
The fare was cheaper.
21
Since I was going to stay there only for a few days,
22
I got a return ticket for my trip.
23
I arrived at the train station an hour early because I wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss my train.
24
When I checked the timetable,
25
the departure time was 10 a.m at platform number 9.
26
I walked over to the platform and got on the train.
27
I looked for my seat,
28
which was an aisle seat.
29
I prefer aisle seats because they let me get up and go to the bathroom or move around as needed.
30
When I found my seat,
31
there was already a guy sitting by the window next to it.
32
I said hi, and he was nice enough to help me with my suitcase.
33
He lifted it into the overhead rack.
34
He was kind and friendly, his name was James.
35
After the train left the station,
36
a conductor came by to check our tickets.
37
He smiled and nodded as he looked at each one.
38
As James was super friendly,
39
we started talking non-stop since the train left the station.
40
At some point, I mentioned James' wedding.
41
He said he was also going to attend his best friend's wedding.
42
To my surprise, his friend,
43
Henry, is James' soon-to-be husband.
44
So, we were going to the same wedding.
45
Wow, it's a small world.
46
Interesting vocabulary and expressions.
47
Before we begin our speaking practice,
48
let's learn some interesting words and expressions from our story to improve our English skills.
49
To attend means to go to an event or place.
50
Example, I will attend a concert next weekend.
51
To board means to get on a train, bus, plane, or ship.
52
Example, we boarded the plane at gate 15.
53
A kiosk or ticket machine is a machine in train stations for buying tickets by yourself.
54
Example, I bought my train ticket at the kiosk near the entrance.
55
A fare is the money that you pay for a trip in a vehicle such as a bus or train.
56
Example, how much is the train fare to London?
57
A return ticket allows you to travel to a destination and back again,
58
while a single ticket is only for a one-way journey.
59
Example, I bought a return ticket since I'm coming back tomorrow.
60
Departure time is when a train,
61
plane, or bus is set to leave,
62
while arrival time is when it's scheduled to reach its destination.
63
Example, please check the departure time of your train to avoid being late.
64
A platform is the area next to the train tracks where you wait for your train.
65
Example, the train to Manchester will leave from Platform 9.

67
train, or other vehicle.

The conductor is a person on a train who checks tickets and helps passengers.
74
Example, the conductor checked our tickets shortly after we boarded.

練習のヒント
このビデオの内容を効率よく学ぶためには、英語シャドーイングを取り入れることをお勧めします。特に、グレースの話し方のスピードやトーンに合わせることで、より自然な英語のリズムに慣れることができます。まずは、簡単に声に出してみることから始め、徐々に流れるように話せるようになりましょう。
最初は短いフレーズを繰り返し、注意深く発音に耳を傾けて、英語の発音を良くするための練習を行います。また、発音が難しい部分に出くわしたら、そこを何度も繰り返してみてください。この方法は、shadowing siteでの練習にも非常に効果的です。
最後に、将来的な試験に備えるために、特にIELTS スピーキング対策として、実際の会話に役立つ例文を作成することも有効です。短い文を使って、日常的な会話を模倣することで応用力を高めましょう。
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。
