Mary had a little lamb
発音を良くするために、英語の歌を歌うことは大変効果がありますが、何も難しい歌を選ぶ必要は全くありません。反対に良く知っている歌を選んで何回も歌ったほうが上達が早いです。
この歌は、誰でも知っている歌でマザー・グースにも載っているはず。そして、ここで紹介するYoutubeは、古いものですが歌を歌っているお兄さん(?)の発音がとても良いので完璧にコピーをすると良いと思います。私も結構な回数を歌いました。
音のつながり方、脱落音などに気をつけてみてください。
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
That was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
Mary so? Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so?
The eager children cry
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know.
Lamb, you know, Lamb, you know
Mary loves the lamb, you know.
