Hi everybody□ this is Misterduncan in England.

How are you today? 

Are you ok? I hope so.Are you happy? I hope so.

Welcome to the very first episode□ of my series of English teaching videos.

Before I begin□we will take a look at some of the common questions that often arise□when talking about learning the English language□and more importantly□learning it as a second language.
So□the first question must be□”Why do we need to learn English?”

take a look 調べる、見てみる


Of course□one of the reasons why we need to be able to speak English nowadays□is because the world is becoming smaller.
Thanks to the Internet□and our developing global economy□more and more people are using English□as a common way to communicate with each other.


thanks to ~のお蔭で、~の結果



So now□it has become unavoidable□that companies and large businesses□will need to employ people□who can speak more than their own native language.
That is where English comes in…It is now□officially considered□as an international language.

Of course□learning anything is difficult□and English is no exception. However□there are ways to make the situation easier. I have come up with my own list of general rules□for learning English.
Do you want to hear them?
Do you want to know what they are?
Ok…Let’s go!Learning

come up with (アイデアなどを)思いつく


English takes time and patience. It cannot be rushed. Try to relax and take it easy. The most important thing you need at the beginning□is a good vocabulary. Without words□you have nothing to work with. 

You must start with a strong foundation□or base□and slowly build on it□day by day. 
You must view English as a part of your body□just as you would□an arm or leg. It must become a part of your everyday life. Daily practice is□very important.

Do not worry about making mistakes□in fact□the more mistakes you make□the more you will learn from them.
Just like learning to ride a bike. Sometime□you fall off. So what do you do? 

You get back on and try again. 
Do not English as just another subject. Your attitude to English□and the way you view it□will decide how well you progress. Just as we say in English□”No pain…No gain”.

The two most important words to remember□when learning English□are practice and confidence. 
Practice English everyday□and be confident. 

You will find□that the more you use English□the better English will become. 
And the more confident you become□then the more you will want to use it. Make it a rule□to tell yourself□I can do it□I can do it□I can do it.

Please remember□my lessons are aimed at everyone. 
So hopefully□you will find something useful□in each one. Maybe□you will find some of the words I use very easy. But you will also see some words□that may be new to you. 

Remember□my lessons are aimed at everyone. 
Even teachers□are very welcome to join in. Learning English□should be a fun experience□and I hope with the help of my video lessons□you will discover just how much fun it can be. I hope you’ve enjoed my first lesson. This is Misterduncan from England saying…Thanks for watching□and bye-bye for now.

はぁ~... お疲れ様でした

今日は「Taking Care of a Willful Child」を聞きました

すごくゆっくりなのでディクテーションにも使えそう


Taking Care of a Willful Child


Mrs. Mason: So, how did things go? 

Carl: Well... 

Mrs. Mason:
What’s the matter? Didn’t you and Jason have a good time while I was away? 


Carl:
It was interesting. He was a little willful
                頑固な・強情な
Mrs. Mason:
Yes, he can be a little strong- willed at times, but if you
                             
   意志の強い
just do what he wants or give him what he wants, he’s just fine. 

Carl:
He wanted to eat all of the cookies and I told him no. He threw a tantrum. 


Mrs. Mason:
A tantrum? My son can be stubborn, but he never throws
tantrums. What did he do exactly?            

かんしゃく

Carl:
Well, he threw his toys against the wall, jumped on the
couch while shrieking at the top of his lungs, and he
                 金切り声を出す
tried to bite my hand. 

        

Mrs. Mason:
Oh, he was just expressing his displeasure, that’s all.
You don’t want children to bottle up their feelings.
                                    
(感情を)抑える
You should just have given him the cookies to pacify him. 
                                                           なだめる、静める

Carl:
Really? I didn’t want to spoil him, and eating all of those cookies wouldn’t be good for him. He seemed to have too much energy already, and he didn’t need another sugar rush. 


Mrs. Mason:
Next time, you should just do what he wants. He’ll grow out of this willful stage soon. 


Carl: Next time? 

Mrs. Mason:
Yes, didn’t you say you could babysit Jason again on Saturday night? 


Carl:
Oh, I’d made a mistake. I have another commitment on Saturday night. 


Mrs. Mason:
That’s too bad. We’ll call you the next time we need a babysitter.
 

Carl: Sure, I can’t wait.
