1
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 11 to 13.
2
For the second in our series about locally run businesses,
3
we meet Simon Winridge, Co -founder of the hugely successful Winridge Forest Railway Park, Welcome, Simon.
4
Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started.
5
Well, during the 1970s, my wife Liz and I had just acquired 80 acres of sheep farming land,
6
and we decided to settle down and have children.
7
Pretty soon we had a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Duncan.
8
The place was wonderful for the kids.
9
They particularly loved trains and gradually built up an enormous network of miniature railway track.
10
I began to develop larger scale models of locomotives, but we didn't think anything more of it until I went on a trip to a theme park near Birmingham
11
and decided we could do a much better job.
12
So we set up a small one ourselves, based on the miniature railway, and we opened to the public for just a month that year,
13
1984, in July, our driest month, because our children said they didn't want our guests to have a miserable wet visit.
14
dealt with park business and Liz carried on with the farm work.
15
It soon became clear that we were onto a winner.
16
We began to extend the railway track and lay it among more interesting landscape by planting trees,
17
which in turn attracted more wildlife and by making cuttings through the rock.
18
Nowadays, we're open all year round, and we're pleased to say that Wim Ridge is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the area,
19
with 50 ,000 visitors a year.
20
A million and a half people have been through our doors since we opened.
21
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
22
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
23
All these visitors mean we have had to expand our operation, and it's now a truly family concern.
24
I'm near to retirement age, so I only concern myself with looking after the mechanical side of things, keeping the trains going.
25
Liz now devotes all her energies to recruiting and supporting the large squadron of workers, which keep the place running smoothly.
26
We're really pleased that, after some years away teaching, Sarah has now returned to the park, and makes sure the visitors are kept fed and watered,
27
which keeps her pretty busy, as you can imagine.
28
Our son Duncan has been a stalwart of the park for the last ten years, taking over from me and the area of construction,
29
and I'll say a little bit more about that in a moment.
30
And his new wife, Judith has also joined the team in charge of retail.
31
That's becoming a tremendous growth area for us.
32
A lot of people want to buy souvenirs.
33
So, have you finished your development of the site for the moment?
34
Not at all.
35
We're constantly looking for ways to offer more to our visitors.
36
The railway remains the central feature, and there's now 1 .2 kilometres of the line laid, but we'd like to lay more.
37
Because of the geology of the area,
38
our greatest problem is digging We're also very pleased with a new installation of the go -kart arena,
39
which is 120 square meters in area.
40
Again, the problem is the geology.
41
We had to level the mounds on the track for safety
42
reasons we wanted to enable 5 to 12 year olds to use the go -karts
43
And the main attraction here is the Formula One cart, We've known fights to break out over who gets it.
44
And then finally to our most recent development, which is the landscape swimming...
45
That is the end of section two.
46
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
47
Thank you.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.
50
Thank you.

IELTS スピーキング対策に最適なYouTube動画の魅力

YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、この動画はまさに「実践的な教材」です。IELTSリスニングのセクション2として使われているだけでなく、日常会話のリズムや自然な発音、家族経営のビジネスに関する語彙が豊富で、スピーキング力向上にも大いに役立ちます。特に、話者の語調やポーズ、接続詞の使い方がリアルで、shadowspeak(シャドースピーチ)の練習に最適です。

自然な英語表現を分解してみよう

動画の中からいくつかの文を取り上げ、なぜ自然に聞こえるのか見てみましょう。

  • 「we didn't think anything more of it until I went on a trip...」:「特に考えていなかった」を「didn't think anything more of it」と表現し、「until」でタイミングを明確にする。日常会話ではこのように簡潔なフレーズがよく使われ、流れがスムーズになります。
  • 「It soon became clear that we were onto a winner.」:「成功する兆しが見えてきた」を「onto a winner」というイディオムで表現。ネイティブスピーカーはこうした慣用句を使うことで、会話に活気を与えます。
  • 「We've known fights to break out over who gets it.」:「争いが起こることがある」を「fights to break out」と表現。「known」を使うことで、過去の経験を自然に伝えています。

これらの表現は文法的に完璧ではないかもしれませんが、ネイティブが実際に使うリアルな英語であり、IELTSスピーキングで高得点を取るためにはこうした表現を覚えることが重要です。

効果的な練習ルーティン:shadowspeakで発音とリズムを磨く

英語の発音を良くするためには、「shadowspeak(シャドースピーチ)」という方法が効果的です。この動画を使った練習方法は次の通りです。

  1. 動画を1文ずつ再生し、すぐにその後に続けて発音します。声の高さ、速さ、ポーズを真似ましょう。
  2. 録音機能を使って自分の声を録り、ネイティブの発音と比較します。「it」「of」などの弱い発音や、リンキング(連結)ができているか確認します。
  3. 1日10分、1週間続けると、リズムと発音が大幅に向上します。特にIELTSスピーキング対策には、この練習が短期間で成果を上げます。

YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、単に聞くだけでなく、口に出して練習することが重要です。この動画を使って、シャドースピーチを続ければ、自然な英語表現が身につき、スピーキング力が飛躍的に向上します。

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。
