Speaking Practice Are you good at telling jokes?
2
I'd say I'm fairly good at telling jokes, especially when I'm with close friends or people I feel comfortable with.
3
I'm not really the type who can come up with a joke on the spot, but I can usually make people laugh with funny stories from my everyday life.
4
Sometimes I even use a bit of sarcasm, but I try to make sure the joke doesn't offend anyone.

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。
