6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
Do you enjoy eating noodles, Beth?
6
I love noodles, yes.
7
I think my favourite are udon, the big thick ones.
8
Mmm, they're so good.
9
Well, some people buy them dried in a packet,
10
others make them fresh from wheat or rice,
11
but there is little doubt that noodles are popular around the world.
12
From their origins, probably somewhere in China,
13
noodle recipes were spread by traders on the ancient Silk Road.
14
At each destination along the road,
15
people gave noodles a twist,
16
adding different flavours and ingredients to create a new dish.
17
In this programme, we'll visit the United States and Japan,
18
two countries which have taken noodles and created exciting new varieties.
19
As usual, we'll learn some useful new vocabulary.
20
And remember, you can read along with the transcript of this programme,
21
available now on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
22
But first, Neil, I have a question for you.
23
As well as different shapes and ingredients,
24
noodles come in many different flavours.
25
So which region of China is famous for its spicy flavours? Is it...
26
A. Shanghai B.
27
Sichuan or C.
28
Guangzhou Well, I think actually,
29
Beth, I know the answer to this.
30
I've been lucky enough to have been to this place.
31
I think it's B.
32
Sichuan.
33
OK, well you sound confident.
34
I will reveal the answer later in the programme.
35
BBC World Service programme The Food Chain investigated how noodles spread from Asia through Europe to America.
36
They uncovered a surprising story that pasta comes from noodles brought back to Italy by Marco Polo in the 13th century.
37
Zhenlin Liu, author of the book On the Noodle Road,
38
doesn't believe this story.
39
So noodles were very exotic in the 1920s and 30s in the United States.
40
And there was a new pasta association in America that wanted to promote the manufacturing of dried pasta.
41
And so they came up with a story about how Marco Polo went to China
42
and found the noodle there and brought it all the way to Italy.
43
In the 1920s, noodles were popular because they were exotic,
44
meaning foreign, unusual and exciting.
45
At that time, pasta companies were promoting a new invention – dried pasta.
46
So they came up with a story about Marco Polo to sell more pasta.
47
If you come up with something,
48
you suggest or think up an idea.
49
And it worked!
50
Sales of pasta jumped as a result.
51
Now our second destination, Japan,
52
also has a history of eating noodles.
53
One of the most famous Japanese noodle dishes is ramen.
54
And Frank Striegel, a blogger living in Tokyo, knows all about it.
55
He eats over 300 bowls of ramen a year.
56
He explained to BBC World Service's The Food Chain how Chinese immigrants to Japan in the late 1800s influenced this Japanese dish.
57
And at one point or another,
58
different chefs decided to localize these dishes.
59
They said, we love these Chinese noodle dishes,
60
however, why don't we tweak them?
61
Why don't we make them a little bit more Japanese?
62
Frank says that at one point or another,
63
chefs started to make noodle dishes more Japanese.
64
Here, the phrase, at one point or another,
65
means at some unspecified time in the past.
66
They did this by tweaking Chinese noodles.
67
In other words, by changing them slightly to make them better.
68
Different, or in this case, more Japanese.
69
By making these tweaks, adding new toppings and slices of beef or chicken,
70
Japanese chefs created the noodle dish we know today as ramen.
71
Here's Frank Striegel again, talking with BBC World Service's The Food Chain.
72
And what I find fascinating about ramen,
73
compared to perhaps other wonderful noodle dishes around the world,
74
is that ramen continues to evolve.
75
Unlike other Japanese foods, it's okay to push the boundaries.
76
Frank thinks that Japanese ramen continues to evolve,
77
to develop and change gradually in response to new developments and ideas.
78
Unlike other traditional foods such as sushi,
79
modern versions of ramen push the boundaries.
80
If you push the boundaries,
81
you act in a way which challenges normal, acceptable behaviour.
82
Yes, noodles have changed so much since ancient times
83
that today you can buy them dried in a packet and simply add hot water.
84
But the flavours and the noodles themselves maintain a link to the past.
85
Now speaking of flavours, what was the answer to your question, Beth?
86
Well, I asked you which region of China is famous for its spicy flavours.
87
You were very confident with saying Sichuan and that is the correct answer.
88
Sichuan is a place that is famous for spicy food such as the Sichuan pepper and Sichuan hot pot.
89
OK, it's time to recap the vocabulary we've learnt.
90
If you give something a twist,
91
you change it in some small way to create something new and exciting.
92
The adjective exotic means unusual and exciting because of coming from far away.
93
The phrase, at one point or another,
94
means at some unspecified time in the past.
95
If you tweak something, you alter it slightly in order to improve it.
96
Something which evolves, develops and changes gradually.
97
And finally, the idiom, to push the boundaries,
98
means to do things which challenge normal, acceptable behaviour.
99
Once again, our six minutes are up.

練習のコツ
この動画のリズムとトーンに合わせて、英語シャドーイングを行うことをお勧めします。シャドーイングでは、ネイティブスピーカーの話を聞きながら同時に口に出して真似をします。動画は短いセクションで構成されているため、各部分を繰り返し練習することができます。最初は内容を理解することに集中し、次に発音やイントネーションに注意を向けましょう。具体的には、IELTSスピーキング対策としても役立つこの練習法は、あなたのスピーキングスキルを高めるための重要なステップです。また、YouTubeで英語学習を続けることで、さまざまなアクセントや表現を身につけることができます。
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。
