Good morning.

Welcome to Star Auto Shop.

How can I help you today?

"Good morning.

I need some help.

My car is making a strange sound." I am sorry to hear that.

What kind of sound is it?

It is a loud clicking noise.

It happens when I turn the key.

I see.

Does it make the noise while you are driving down the street?

No, only when I try to start the car.

After that, it sounds normal.

Okay.

When did this problem start?

It started two days ago.

I'm a little worried.

Do not worry, you are in good hands here.

Let's take a look.

Thank you.

I really need my car to get to work every day.

I completely understand.

Can you open the hood of the car, please?

"Sure, give me one second." Okay, the hood is open now.

Great.

Please start the engine so I can hear the noise myself.

Okay, turning the key now.

Did you hear that loud click?

"Yes, I heard it clearly.

You can turn the engine off now.

Is it a big problem?

I hope it is not too expensive to fix.

Let me check the battery first.

Sometimes the fix is very easy.

Take your time.

I will wait right here by the door.

Aha!

I think I've found the issue already.

Oh, that was fast.

What is wrong with it?

The metal wire connected to your battery is very loose.

Really?

It is just a loose wire?

Yes.

Because it is loose, the battery is not getting a strong connection.

Wow, can you fix that for me today?

It is a piece of cake.

I can fix it right now in two minutes.

That is wonderful news!

How much will it cost?

Since it's just a quick fix with my wrench, I'll only charge you $10.

Only $10?

That is very kind of you.

You are welcome.

I'll tighten the wire right now.

You are a lifesaver.

I was afraid I needed a brand new engine.

your engine is perfectly fine.

Okay, the wire is tight now.

Should I start the car again to test it?

Yes, please try starting it one more time.

Okay.

Wow, look at that.

No clicking noise at all.

Good as new.

Your car is ready for the road.

Thank you for your fast and honest work.

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。
