1
In today's imitation lesson, you will improve your listening, pronunciation, and speaking through two short life stories.
2
These stories are about two people sharing their experiences of getting lost in a new city.
3
This lesson is made for A2 learners, so the words and sentences are clear and easy to follow.
4
There are three steps.
5
First, listen and read.
6
Second, repeat after me.
7
And finally, shadow with me and speak at the same time.
8
By the end of this lesson, English will feel a little easier, a little clearer, and much more natural to speak.
9
Let's get started.
10
Step 1.
11
Listen and read.
12
My name is Emma, and last year I traveled alone to a new city for a job interview.
13
I was excited because it was my first chance to work for a big company.
14
I arrived early in the morning with one small suitcase and a backpack.
15
Everything looked different, but I thought I could find my hotel easily.
16
I followed the map on my phone while walking through busy streets.
17
After about 20 minutes, my phone battery suddenly died.
18
I had forgotten to bring my charger.
19
I looked around, but I didn't know where I was anymore.
20
The streets all looked the same.
21
I remembered the hotel's name, but I had no way to find its location without my phone.
22
I asked several people for help, but most of them were in a hurry.
23
One woman tried to explain the way, but I became even more confused.
24
I walked for almost three hours with my heavy bags.
25
My feet hurt, and I started to cry because I felt completely alone.
26
Finally, I found a small cafe and borrowed a phone to call the hotel.
27
They gave me directions, but I was already too far away.
28
By the time I arrived, I was exhausted and more than two hours late for my interview.
29
The company had already chosen another person.
30
They told me they couldn't wait any longer.
31
I understood their decision, but it still broke my heart.
32
I had spent months preparing for that interview.
33
That evening, I sat alone in my hotel room and looked out the window.
34
The city lights were beautiful, but I couldn't enjoy them.
35
I kept thinking about how one dead phone battery had changed everything.
36
I went home the next day without a new job, feeling disappointed and wishing I had planned my trip more carefully.
37
My name is Daniel and I visited a new city to surprise my younger brother on his birthday.
38
We had not seen each other for almost two years, and I wanted to see the look on his face when he opened the door.
39
I only had his address written in my notebook because I wanted to keep the visit a secret.
40
After I left the train station, I got on the wrong bus without realizing it.
41
Thirty minutes later, I noticed that none of the street names matched the address in my notebook.
42
I got off the bus and tried to find my way, but I had no internet connection on my phone.
43
I walked through unfamiliar neighborhoods for hours.
44
Then it started to rain.
45
My clothes became wet, and my backpack felt heavier with every step.
46
I asked several people for directions, but nobody knew the street I was looking for.
47
One man suggested taking another bus, but it took me even farther away.
48
I became tired, hungry, and frustrated.
49
At last, I found the correct street late in the evening.
50
My heart was racing because I was excited to surprise my brother.
51
I knocked on the door several times, but nobody answered.
52
A neighbor came outside and told me that my brother and his friends had gone out to celebrate his birthday hours earlier.
53
They would not be back until very late at night.
54
I sat on the front steps with my backpack beside me.
55
The birthday gift I had carried all day was still in my hands, unopened.
56
I had imagined a happy surprise but instead, I was alone in a strange neighborhood, cold and exhausted.
57
I waited for many hours but I had to leave to catch my train home.
58
I slipped the birthday gift in front of his door with a short note that said, said, I'm sorry I missed you.
59
Happy birthday.
60
As the train pulled away from the city,
61
I couldn't stop thinking about how getting lost had turned a joyful surprise into a memory I would always regret.
62
Step 2.
63
Repeat after me.
64
My name is Emma, and last year I traveled alone to a new city for a job interview.
65
I was excited because it was my first chance to work for a big company.
66

72

73

74
I asked several people for help but most of them were in a hurry.
75
One woman tried to explain the way, but I became even more confused.
76
I walked for almost 3 hours with my heavy bags.
77
My feet hurt, and I started to cry because I felt completely alone.
78
Finally, I found a small cafe and borrowed a phone to call the hotel.
79
They gave me directions, but I was already too far away.
80
By the time I arrived, I was exhausted and more than two hours late for my interview.
81

115
I couldn't stop thinking about how getting lost had turned a joyful surprise into a memory I would always regret.
116
Step 3.
117
Shadow with me.
118
Shadowing means hearing the sounds and saying them at the same time.
119
Let's start.
120
My name is Emma, and last year I traveled alone to a new city for a job interview.
121
I was excited because it was my first chance to work for a big company.

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。
