21. みんな、師匠です！( You are my master!)

何かグループで競技したりすること、ありませんか？職場対抗のボーリング大会とか、経験された方もいらっしゃると思います。今回は、そうした場面で使う、掛け声を考えてみました。 "Go for it!"とか、"This is it!"とか、エピソードで紹介した"Let's do it!"とか。チームのモチベーションを上げる時に必要な言葉、みんなで集まって試合に臨む時などに是非使ってください！ 

今回ご紹介するのは、共感する言い回し。でも特定なフレーズ”Wow”とか、”That's great!”とかではなく、相手の言葉を引用する「オウム返し」の英語版！ルールは簡単です。相手の言い回しをそのまま使い、アクセントをちょっと変えるだけ。相手の方への共感力アップすること間違い無しです。例えば、"I am happy!"と言われたら、"You ARE happy" （AREは強調するので大文字で書いてます）と言えば良いです。"It is fun!" "It IS fun!"のようにも使えます。色々なシーンで共感してみてください。 

ちょっと気分転換が必要な場面、ありますよね？頭を切り替えたり、一休みしたい時、そんな時に使えるフレーズをご紹介します。"Get some fresh air." 日本語と表現が似ているので、分かりやすいと思います。エピソードの中で表現した別の言い方も"Wipe your mind"と合わせて、使ってみてください。
