Okay, today I'm going to talk about fads from the past.
6
First of all, we need to define the word fad.
7
A fad is something that becomes really popular really fast and then eventually becomes forgotten.
8
For a while it seems like everyone is excited about this thing and follows the trend, but after a while they move on to the next big thing.
9
Often this is because people are more interested in it just because everyone else is.
10
You don't necessarily love this thing, you just get caught up in the excitement.
11
So let's go through some popular fads from the past.
12
One of the fads I remember as a kid was Heely's shoes.
13
These are shoes that have wheels on the heel of the shoe.
14
The word heel just refers to the back part of your foot.
15
So tons of kids started wearing these shoes and they would kind of skate around as they walked.
16
Skateboarding and other wheel sports have always been considered to be pretty cool, so I think that's why Heelys became so popular.
17
I have to admit that I thought they were pretty cool, but I didn't end up buying them.
18
These shoes still exist today and sometimes I see kids wearing them, which takes me back to my childhood a little bit.
19
Alright the next fad that I want to talk about is Furby.
20
Furbies are these little electronic toys that look like owls.
21
If I remember correctly, they talk, sing, and do other stuff like that.
22
They come in a lot of different varieties, so you can choose the one that you think is the best or cutest.
23
This fad was huge when I was a kid.
24
For some reason, everyone wanted a Furby and I saw them everywhere.
25
To be honest, I was always kind of freaked out by their eyes.
26
really big and it just seems like they're always following you.
27
But maybe that's just me.
28
Nowadays I have no idea if these furry little toys are still sold.
29
But one thing's for sure, Furbies were all the rage at one point.
30
Alright, one fad that I actually got caught up in as a kid was Beanie Babies.
31
Beanie Babies are these small animals that are stuffed with beans instead of the normal soft stuffing.
32
You can feel the texture of the beans inside.
33
One of their most recognizable features is the red heart-shaped tag attached that says Thai for Thai incorporated.
34
Beanie Babies became a huge fad in the late 90s.
35
I can remember collecting them as a kid and always wanting more.
36
I can't say for sure how many I ended up with but it was a lot.
37
Alright one last fad that I completely forgot about is Livestrong bracelets and other wristbands.
38
Livestrong bracelets were these yellow silicone gel bracelets that people started buying
39
and wearing in 2004 to raise funds to support people affected by cancer.
40
What started out as a noble cause very quickly became a fashion trend across America.
41
I remember when I was in 5th grade I started seeing these bands everywhere.
42
In all honesty, I wanted one of these bands just because everyone else had one.
43
I never ended up getting one, but I did get some other wristbands.
44
What's funny is that people started wearing all kinds of different wristbands, not just these Livestrong bands.
45
I had a handful of different colored ones that I wore every day for a period of time.
46
I remember matching the color of my wristband with the color of my clothes.
47
Needless to say, I bought into this fad 100%.
48
Okay, that's all for today.
49
Leave a comment and tell me about a fad that you remember from the past.

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。
