1
I wish people had told me what to expect when I was growing up because I'm still growing up.
2
I grew up in Vancouver.
3
I was born in Ottawa.
4
I was raised in Toronto but I grew up when I got to Vancouver.
5
We came here when I was 15 and a half and boy did I grow up.
6
I got away from the family and the influences of stuffy Toronto, the stuffy Toronto that we lived in.
7
I always depended on education.
8
I valued it.
9
It was valued in my family.
10
To me it was success.
11
It was visible success.
12
I was living in the British properties, four little children born in five years.
13
Built the house around us including me building a lot of it and digging and doing gardening with a
14
shovel and pick seriously it was just ridiculous when you look back
15
but I've always been a doer and I will not quit
16
so I just did everything that had to be done and
17
that I went back got my last child into school and went back to university to do a second degree.
18
And what happened recently is that the shoulder is slipping, the actual shoulder joint.
19
It's as though the glue had dried up in a carpentry sense.
20
The glue's dried up and crumbled and my shoulder slips and
21
when it slips it bites tissue and grabs the nerve and then it bleeds internally.
22
So that's what I have and I have a limited shoulder.
23
Part of the injury, I think, was the years of writing on the blackboard because I've university teaching for years as well as every level literally.
24
And you'll notice that I can want to get my right arm up this high.
25
Right up until this, I would be swimming three times a week.
26
I live right down here, right downtown, so I walk everywhere.
27
I walk to the opera, the symphony, I do all my shopping, I walk for fun.
28
I really miss swimming because I can't, they won't let me right now.
29
I miss tennis terribly.
30
I miss skiing.
31
These sports that were joy to me.
32
I'm in my 84th year and this is something I want to share with people.
33
This is a process of aging.
34
It is nothing other than ordinary, I mean okay a bit extraordinary work with that shoulder
35
but not much more than many other people but this is going to happen.
36
I had a little wish about a week ago thinking I wish people had told me what to expect
37
when I was growing up and I'm really mean growing up
38
because I'm still growing up and if I had known
39
that joints were going to go okay corners go knees hips I never knew my shoulder would.
40
so this is this is a condition that I will live with
41
and I couldn't be happier because if that's the worst I have to handle amazed
42
because I can still use my hand if if I am very careful of my arm because I'm responsible for hurting myself.
43
If I move that arm wrong I create the pain.
44
It's nothing the medical profession can stop for me.
45
I have to stop it.
46
I'm the watchdog.
47
I went down and I said to them, the physiotherapy, I want a supportive
48
structure made out of elastic or leather or whatever like a football pad that holds my shoulder together so it doesn't slip.
49
And the difference when it was on, oh, it's amazing.
50
You can just feel the support.
51
I think the thing that makes me happiest every day is the more I can interact with people, whether they be the kind neighbor that lives in my building
52
or being able to come down here and find the walking group
53
that we went out with on Tuesdays and laugh and sit with them here even for a half an hour.
54
This is my neighborhood and it's part of my joy to be in a neighborhood
55
and this is what keeps me bright, alert.
56
and bothering because otherwise what is my purpose here?

1. ビデオを1回聴き、発音とイントネーションを覚えます。
2. 2回目は、話者の声に合わせて即座に繰り返します(遅れないように注意)。

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。
