healthy is something we're always encouraged to do.
3
But how can we be healthy?
4
It all starts with creating healthy habits.
5
Healthy habits can make you feel stronger and happier.
6
Think of your body and mind like a car.
7
A car needs good quality fuel to run well.
8
You can't put in soft drink and expect it to run smoothly, can you?
9
Just like a car, you need to fuel your body and mind with really good,
10
nourishing foods, thoughts and actions that will make it function well. But what's a habit?
11
A habit is created when you do something repeatedly until it becomes natural.
12
Having healthy habits can help you to feel strong, create good relationships with people around you,
13
help you concentrate better in class, and give you the daily boost you need to do all the things you love.
14
One of the most important healthy habits to have is healthy eating.
15
Healthy eating is all about feeding your body fresh and nutritious foods.
16
This should include colourful vegetables, fruits and nuts, grains, legumes,
17
dairy and lean meats and fish.
18
Even though all these foods are good for us, there are still some that we should eat lots of and some we should limit.
19
We should eat lots of vegetables, legumes and grains.
20
But we should eat lean meats, dairy and fruits and nuts in moderate amounts.
21
Which means not heaps and heaps.
22
There are some foods that should only be a sometimes treat
23
because they're not very good for us and have very little nutritional value.
24
Like sugary or fatty foods and drinks.
25
And of course, we should drink plenty of water every single day.
26
When you combine healthy foods with physical activity, it will help you to feel healthy.
27
Did you know children your age should be active for at least 60 minutes a day?
28
Another healthy habit is getting lots of sleep.
29
Sleep allows us to restore, repair and rebuild all of the things in our body, including our brain.
30
Make sure you're getting 10 hours of sleep a night
31
and you'll find yourself feeling fresh and ready to make the most out of every day.
32
Here are 4 ways you can build healthy habits.
33
Eat the fruit and vegetable rainbow.
34
Even though you may not be in charge of the grocery shopping, you can always make your own healthy choices.
35
Maybe you could choose to drink water instead of a soft drink or juice when you feel thirsty.
36
Buy a piece of fruit instead of sweets from the canteen.
37
Or have some salad with dinner.
38
Simple choices like that can make a huge difference to your health.
39
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables
40
that are full of different colours is super important because they all help your body in different ways.
41
So try and have as many colours as you can every day.
42
Sleep well.
43
Nothing should interfere with your sleep.
44
Not even your homework should keep you up longer than you need to be.
45
So make sure you plan your time well so you can complete it before bed.
46
Try to keep a good bedtime routine.
47
Going to bed at the same time each night is great for your body and can make going to sleep easier.
48
Keep any phones, tablets and other devices out of your bedroom when it's bedtime.
49
Make your bedroom a place that feels relaxing to you.
50
This means it should be comfortable, quiet and dark when it's time to sleep.
51
Get active.
52
It doesn't require you to change your entire day.
53
In fact, it's really easy and you might not even realise you're doing it.
54
Playing at lunchtime, school sports, riding your bike or even going for a swim are all examples of exercise that can make up your 60 minutes.
55
If you can minimize the time you spend in front of a screen, you might find yourself spending more time with your friends and moving around.
56
Last but not least, find a balance.
57
Going to extremes, whether it's whether it's with your diet,
58
exercise or sleep isn't necessary.
59
You can enjoy a bit of everything.
60
So, find a healthy balance of sleep, play, food, water, school and social time.
61
When you combine healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep and lots of water.
62
You'll have the power and energy to be your best.
63
Plus, you'll discover that as you get older, you'll need these healthy habits because they're important no matter how old you are.
64
So, why not start now?
このビデオを使って話す練習をする理由
音楽が心地よく流れるこのビデオでは、子供たちが健康的な習慣を身につけることの重要性が説明されています。これを通じて、英語を話す練習をすることで、子供たちが心身の健康を向上させる方法を学ぶことができます。健康的な食事や十分な睡眠、活動的な生活は、思考や発話の明晰さを促進します。これは、shadowspeaksやshadow speechの技法を用いた効果的な学習法にもつながります。IELTS スピーキング対策を目指す方にも、クリアな発音を身につけるための貴重な情報が含まれています。YouTubeで英語学習を進める上で、このビデオは新しい単語や表現を練習するための素晴らしいリソースです。
文法と表現の文脈における分析
- be動詞 + 形容詞： "Being healthy is something we're always encouraged to do." この構文は、状態を表現するのに役立ちます。
- 名詞の複数形： "healthy habits" や "good relationships" など、複数形を使うことで一般的な概念を表現しています。
- 命令文： "Eat the fruit and vegetable rainbow." 指示をシンプルに伝える表現です。特に、英会話の中で自分の意見を明確にするための重要な文法構造です。
- 頻度を表す副詞： "Every single day"のように、習慣的な行動を強調する表現も理解することで、英語のリズムが身につきます。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオにはいくつかの発音のトラップがあります。特に「healthy」や「vegetable」は日本語ではあまり使わない単語ですが、英語では重要な言葉です。また、文中の「sleep」と「keep」の音が似ているため、間違えやすいです。英語の発音を良くする 練習にもってこいのポイントです。日常会話をスムーズにするために、正しい発音を繰り返し練習することがカギとなります。定期的にこのビデオを見て、意味を理解しながら声に出して練習することで、効果的にスピーキング力を向上させることができるでしょう。
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。
