1
The hare and the tortoise.
2
Harry Hare loved running more than anything in the world.
3
Every morning he woke up and went for a run.
4
Then he ran to work.
5
Ran around all day.
6
Harry, you are early. And ran home.
7
Everyone said he was the fastest hair around.
8
Maybe the fastest hair in history.
9
Harry, you are amazing!
10
Harry was sure of it.
11
Well, you know, I do a lot of training.
12
Tom's daughters worked with Harry.
13
All day long, he heard Harry boasting.
14
He didn't think Harry was so special.
15
I beat my own record again!
16
Harry was always laughing at him.
17
Take your time, Tommy.
18
I'll just run on the spot until you are ready.
19
One morning, Harry was feeling very pleased with himself.
20
He ran to work in record time.
21
I really need some extra heavy shoes to slow me down.
22
I must be the fastest creature in the world, he boasted.
23
Let's have a race to prove it.
24
Come on, who wants to race?
25
Harry couldn't believe it when Tom Todders plotted over.
26
I will raise you, Harry, he said quietly.
27
Tommy's low coach?
28
Are you serious?
29
Asked Harry.
30
You wouldn't even get started.
31
That's a good one.
32
I mean it, said Tom.
33
Let's have the race next Saturday at 10 o'clock.
34
You choose where to race.
35
Well, we'll all have a good laugh anyway.
36
For the next few days,
37
the animals talked about nothing else. Has Tommy gone crazy?
38
The story was in all newspapers.
39
It was even on television.
40
Harry trained extra hard.
41
He woke up early in the mornings and went running in the evenings.
42
He knew he would win,
43
but he wanted to win by miles.
44
He chose a good long course for the race.
45
Tom Totters didn't seem to be training at all.
46
Perhaps he thought there was no point.
47
Don't you think you should exercise a little? At last, Saturday arrived.
48
All Harry's friends came to watch him race.
49
Tom's friends were there too.
50
But they didn't look quite so happy.
51
It was a beautiful day.
52
Harry saw some television cameras and did a little running special for them.
53
Tom just kept on talking to his friends.
54
Soon it was time for the race to begin.
55
Harry was already at the starting line.
56
Tom slowly ambled over.
57
Come on, Tommy!
58
Let's not start late!
59
On your marks, get set, go! shouted the umpire.
60
Harry raised off and disappeared almost at once.
61
Everyone laughed as poor Tom plodded over the line.
62
As soon as he was out of sight,
63
Harry stopped beside a tree to rest.
64
Just need to catch my breath.
65
After all his early morning training, Harry was very tired.
66
Nobody was looking.
67
He had plenty of time to sit down for a while.
68
He would still win this race easily.
69
His eyes started closing.
70
Why not have a nap?
71
That would make it even funnier when he won the race.
72
He sat down in the shade.
73
Soon he was asleep.
74
Meanwhile, Tom's tortoise was slowly making his way along the course.
75
Most of the animals had gone straight to the finish line.
76
Only Tom's friends stayed with him.
77
Nobody saw Harry sleeping under his tree.
78
Hours passed.
79
The sun was setting and the air was cool.
80
Harry woke up with a start.
81
Where was he?
82
Suddenly, he remembered the race.
83
He hadn't meant to slap for so long,
84
but he could still beat Tom.
85
Harry felt much better after his nap.
86
He did a few stretches, then raised off.
87
He could see the finish line now.
88
There was a huge crowd.
89
They were already cheering.
90
At that moment, he saw a small brown shell shape coming up to the line.
91
Harry felt cold all over.
92
Surely that wasn't Tom?
93
He rang faster than ever before.
94
Yes, he could do it!
95
Then the cheering grew louder and louder.
96
Look, it's Harry!
97
Whatever happened to him?
98
Harry died over the line.
99
But he was too late.
100
Well done, Tommy!
101
Tommy's the winner!
102
Tom Tottors had won, and he didn't even look out of breath.
103
About the story The hare and the Tottors as one of the Aesop fables.
104
These are a collection of short stories first told in the ancient Greece around 4,000 years ago.
105
Nobody knows exactly who Aesop was,
106
but the stories are still popular today,
107
and they are known all over the world.
108
The stories are often about animals,
109
and they always have a moral,
110
a message or lesson at the end.
111
The moral of the story about the hare and the tortoise is,
112
slow and steady wins the race.
113
Thank you.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、ウズボーンの「ウサギとカメ」の物語を通じて、英語のスピーキングを練習します。英語の発音を良くするために、キャラクターのセリフや物語のストーリーラインを暗唱しましょう。特に、セリフのスピードや感情を反映させながら、自分の声で再現することを意識してください。物語の中の競争というテーマを通じて、動詞や形容詞の使用を学び、リスニングスキルも向上します。
キーワードとフレーズ
- ウサギ (Harry Hare) - 物語の主人公、スピードを誇るウサギ
- カメ (Tom Tortoise) - 競争相手で、やや遅いが努力家なカメ
- レース (race) - 競争の場面を表す重要な単語
- ボーasting (自慢すること) - 自信を持って自慢する姿勢
- トレーニング (training) - 訓練や練習を意味する単語
- スピード (speed) - 速さを表す形容詞
- 友達 (friends) - 物語に登場する仲間たちの重要な関係
練習のコツ
この動画のスピードとトーンに合わせて、声に出して練習しましょう。特に、ハリー・ウサギの自信に満ちた喋り方や、トム・カメの落ち着いたトーンが印象的です。まずは、動画を見ながらリスニングし、その後で自分の声で繰り返します。この際、shadow speechの考え方を活用することで、発音やリズムが自然に身に付きます。
注意点としては、速い部分では無理に真似しようとせず、自分のペースで少しずつ速度を上げていきましょう。また、感情を込めて話すことで、より生き生きとした表現ができるようになります。リスニングの後は、shadowspeaksを実践し、自分の発音を録音してみると、改善点が明確になります。そして、YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、これらの練習を活かしながら、様々な英語のアクセントや声のトーンも試してみてください。
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。
