​超々多忙なプロフェッショナルのための英語 3

このプログラムは、平日1日10分、週末は1日1時間しか学習時間が取れないほど、超々多忙なプロフェッショナルのために設けました。また、プロフェッショナルということで、専門職にある方々が対象ですので、題材は時事とし、分量は音声なら1分、テキストなら 120~180語程度とします。一つの題材を用い、360°どの角度からでも英語をインプットでき、またアウトプットもできるようになることが目標です。

第2回目のエクササイズに対するフィードバック、コメント等ありがとうございました。シャドーリーディングの「スピード」を、50%のゆっくりしたものから、少しスピードを上げた75%、そして100%のアナウンサーのスピードへと、順に練習していくことが、ろれつを改善する方法です。最終的には、110%位の速さで聞き、話すことができるようになると、通常のリスニングやスピーキングが「遅い」と感じるようになります。今は75%くらいで聞け、話せれば成功としましょう。

今回は、第3回目のトライアルということで、また10分の学習エクササイズをしてみましょう。教材は前回と同じですので、内容はもう暗記してしまっていることでしょう。ですので、口頭での質疑応答です。

1. 以下の音声 4には、この教材の内容に関する質問が録音されています。質問と質問の間には、適当な時間を設けていますので、その間に口頭で、（何も見ずに、書かずに）回答して下さい。全部で3.5分です。2回繰り返してみて下さい。7分経過。

2. そして、音声 5には、質問と、回答例が録音されていますので、ご自分の回答と比べてみて下さい。質疑応答を文面で添付しておきます。3.5分。トータル10.5分です。
