みなさんこんにちは。ミッチです。ご視聴どうもありがとうございます。

ところで、みなさん、この、私のレコーディングルームなんですけど、実はこのレコーディングルームは物置、つまりガレージなんですね。この白いビニールのカーテンの向こう側には、自転車、スケートボード、サッカーボール、マットレス、ガラクタなどがたくさん置いてあります。壁もこんなに薄いんです。この動画を撮影している現在は夏なんですが、『夏はこの部屋の中は暑くて、脳みそが溶けそうです。』で、冬になると『寒くて、手足が凍りそうです。』壁が薄いので、雨が降ると、『雨の音がうるさくて、鼓膜が破れそうです。』

すみません、『鼓膜が破れそうです』はちょっと大袈裟でした。でも、本当に雨が降ると、この部屋の中はとてもうるさいんです。さて、それは置いておいて、今日のターゲット表現は先ほどあった『暑くて、脳みそが溶けそうです。』、『寒くて、手足が凍りそうです。』、『うるさくて、鼓膜が破れそうです。』と言う文の、『い形容詞→(語幹)くて』と言う形と動詞の『OOます→OOそうです』と言う形をマスターして行ってみましょう！

今日の表現もレベルが高いです。みなさんが日本語を話すときに、今日の表現を使うと、みなさんの日本語を聞いた人たちは、みんな『おおお！』っとなりますよ！では行ってみましょう！

まず、
『い形容詞→(語幹)くて』と言う形を使うと、
スペイン語で言うと、"es tan + adjectivo que"
英語で言うと、"it is so + adjective + that"
の様な表現が日本語でできます。

例えば、
『暑い』→『暑くて』
『寒い』→『寒くて』
『うるさい』→『うるさくて』


そして、動詞の
『OOます→OOそうです』と言う形にします。すると、
スペイン語で言うと、"estoy a punto de hacer algo"
英語で言うと、"I'm about to do something"
の様な表現が日本語でできます。

例えば、
『溶ける』→『溶けます』→『溶けそうです。』
『凍る』→『凍ります』→『凍りそうです。』
『破れる』→『破れます』→『破れそうです。』

An impromptu speech  refers to a presentation delivered with little to no prior preparation. Often called "speaking off the cuff," it requires the speaker to think on their feet and effectively communicate ideas on a given topic with minimal notice. Impromptu speeches can arise in various situations, including:

Meetings: Brainstorming sessions, project updates, or responding to questions from colleagues can all turn into impromptu speaking opportunities.

Client Interactions: A chance meeting with a potential client or answering unexpected questions during a presentation might necessitate impromptu remarks.

Networking Events: Making a strong first impression often involves conversing and sharing ideas on the spot.
While lacking the polish of a prepared speech, impromptu presentations offer several benefits:

Authenticity: Speaking without a script can project genuine enthusiasm and passion for the topic.

Adaptability: Impromptu speeches allow you to tailor your message to the audience's interests or address emerging issues.

Thinking Skills: They challenge your critical thinking and communication skills on the fly.
Here are some tips for delivering successful impromptu speeches:

Take a Breath: A brief pause allows you to collect your thoughts and formulate a response.

Start with a Strong Opening: Grab attention with a relevant anecdote, statistic, or question.

Focus on Key Points: Organize your thoughts around a central message and a few supporting points.

Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon and speak in a concise and confident manner.

End Gracefully: Summarize your main points and conclude with a call to action or impactful statement.

By honing your impromptu speaking skills, you can become a more effective communicator and build trust with colleagues, clients, and potential partners in the business world.
