Carol left the rehearsal room with Alan, one of the first violinists.
10
What are you going to do this afternoon, Carol?
11
Alan asked.
12
I'm going to get a quick sandwich and then I'm going shopping, Carol said.
13
My husband Jan and his father are arriving on Sunday.
14
Monday is Christmas Day and I haven't got any presents for them.
15
I must find something this afternoon, our only free afternoon.
16
See you tomorrow then,' said Alan.
17
And good luck with the shopping.
18
Thanks,' Carol said.
19
There are some wonderful shops in the Stare Mesto, the old town, so I'm going down there.
20
Carol went into a lot of shops that afternoon.
21
In the end, she got a book for Jan and a picture for his father.
22
When she left the old town, it was nearly dark.
23
It was very cold, so she walked quickly through the streets back to her hotel.
24
There were Christmas trees in all the shop windows, and the city looked beautiful.
25
There was a lot of noise too.
26
People, cars, taxis, buses.
27
Everybody's doing their Christmas shopping, Carol thought.
28
Suddenly, she saw a man across the street.
29
It was Jan!
30
Why was he in Prague so soon?
31
Jan?
32
She shouted across the street.
33
But Jan didn't hear her.
34
He walked on.
35
Carol shouted again, very loudly.
36
Jan?
37
Jan?
38
It's me, Carol!
39
A lot of people stopped this time.
40
They all looked at her.
41
The man stopped too.
42
He turned and looked at Carol for a minute, but he didn't smile and he didn't speak.
43
It was a very long minute for Carol.
44
Her husband's eyes were cold and Carol began to feel afraid.
45
Then he moved and began to walk away from Carol down a little street.
46
Carol did not understand But she knew one thing.
47
She did not want to lose him.
48
Perhaps he didn't see me very well.
49
It's so dark now.
50
He's going.
51
Where is he going?
52
Jan!
53
Come back!
54
Are you ill?
55
She ran across the street.
56
There was a sudden noise, and somebody shouted.
57
Two seconds later, Carol lay in the snow.
58
She ran right in front of me, the bus driver said later.
59
I couldn't stop.
60
There was no time.
61
Carol's face was white and her eyes were closed.
62
Then an ambulance came and took her body away.
63
Was she alive or dead?
64
At nine o'clock the next morning, the conductor was ready to begin the rehearsal.
65
He opened his music and the orchestra started to play.
66
Suddenly, his hand stopped moving, and the music stopped at once.
67
"'Harpist!' the conductor shouted angrily.
68
"'What's the matter with you?
69
Are you sleeping?
70
You begin to play here!' "'Excuse me, Mr Rinaldi,' said someone at the back of the room.
71
The harpist is not here.' Everyone turned and looked at the harp at the back of the orchestra.
72
It was true.
73
There was nobody in the harpist's chair.
74
"'Well, where is she?' asked the conductor.
75
There was no answer.
76
"'We can't wait for her,' he said.
77
"'We must have this rehearsal without her. Where is Alan?
78
He can speak some Czech.
79
Alan stood up.
80
Can you go to the hotel and look for her there?
81
The conductor asked.
82
Then come back here at once, with or without her.
83
Alan left.
84
Half an hour later, he was back.
85
She's not at the hotel, he said.
86
I spoke to two or three people in the hotel, and they say that Carol wasn't there at breakfast this morning.
87
And they think that she didn't sleep in her room last night.
88
"'I don't like this,' said the conductor.
89
Carol is never late for rehearsals, and she knows that these concerts are important for us.
90
I think we must tell the police.' "'Shall I do it now?' Alan asked.
91
"'Yes,' said the conductor.
92
Please go now.' Thank you.
93
Thank you.

「Christmas in Prague Chapter 3」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。

毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。

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。
