Well, a lot has changed since I lived here.

Still, it must feel like home to you.

Not so much.
11
For example, the house where I grew up is no longer there.
12
Oh, that's too bad.
13
What happened to it?
14
Well, the land it was sitting on was sold to build a new stadium.
15
Oh, that's a shame.
16
Yeah.
17
The whole neighborhood has been completely gentrified.

Oh, really?

It's all for the best, I suppose.

What is not the man's taste?

How do you like the new club?
36
It's okay, but the music they're playing is not my taste.
37
I agree, but the last song they played was kind of nice.
38
The people that are dancing seem to like it.

The woman who's dancing is my friend.

She loves this kind of music.
41
The guy she's dancing with sure likes it too.

That's right.
54
Born and raised.
55
Why do you ask?
56
Well, I'm going there with my family on holiday, and I was hoping you could give us some tips.

Well, the first place I would check out is Muir Woods.
58
It's really beautiful.

Yeah, I already have that down.
60
What else would you recommend?

Any place else?
65
The last place I'd recommend is the Presidio.

It's a park that's next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
67
Yeah, I read about that.
68
I hear that there are bikes that you can rent to ride in the park and across the bridge.
69
Yes, and there are audio apps that you can download that give a history of the area.
70
Oh, thanks so much.
71
I'm so excited to go.
72
Also, a dish that's worth trying is the clam chowder bread bowl.

It's just a big loaf of bread with clam chowder inside it.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

The time I spent in the Army taught me how to survive in the wild.

Well, you are a lot braver than me.

Plus, the food that you brought is amazing.

How long did it take you to make it?
91
No time at all.
92
All the food we had was bought from the store.
93
I don't cook much.
94
It sounds like you need to work on your survivor skills a bit more.
95
There are a few things that I could teach you.
96
No, I'm good.

As long as I have a credit card, I have everything that I need.
98

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
