1
Good morning. Ben.
2
How was your weekend?
3
Morning. It was okay.
4
Ben, are you okay? You look like you haven't slept in days.
5
I'm fine. Your face is screaming the opposite, though.
6
Is everything okay at home?
7
Yeah. Is Buddy okay?
8
My cat is fine. So is everything at home.
9
So... what's wrong?
10
The only thing wrong is my coffee order.
11
Huh? What happened?
12
I asked for an espresso, but they gave me a latte.
13
Why didn't you tell them to change it?
14
Because my brain didn't have enough caffeine to think at that time.
15
Man, if you can't think without coffee, you have a coffee problem.
16
I don't have a coffee problem.
17
I have a problem without coffee.
18
which is worse!
19
So… did you drink your coffee or not?
20
Not yet… So, please talk to me again in about ten minutes.
21
So, I'm Ben. I'll be your coworker from now on.
22
Nice to meet you, Jennifer.
23
Nice to meet you, Ben.
24
How are you feeling about your first day?
25
Excited, but also really nervous! It's my first time working at a tech company.
26
Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of things soon. Let me show you the basics.
27
Okay. I'm listening.
28
Work hours are 9 to 5, but we’re flexible on finishing times as long as the job gets done.
29
Got it. Lunch break is usually an hour, anytime between 11:30 and 1:30.
30
Just let your team know before you head out.
31
Noted. Ah, the golden rule. Never, I mean NEVER, microwave fish.
32
Unless you want to be the office villain.
33
No worries. My cooking skills stop at boiling pasta and making toast.
34
Perfect. One more thing.
35
If you finish the coffee, make a new pot.
36
And if I forget?
37
Then you’ll see how long coffee lovers can stay angry.
38
So, this is the conference room, but we call it the fight room.
39
Wait… what?
40
He just means we often argue a lot here. About work, of course.
41
Oh, sorry, and you are…?
42
I’m Zoe, marketing director. We met during your interview.
43
Nice to meet you again, Jennifer!
44
Oh my! I forgot my boss’s face on my very first day at work!
45
Well, I hope you’ll work here long enough to remember me then!
46
Has Ben shown you how to book this room yet?
47
I was about to tell her that.
48
Jennifer, if you need to book the room, use the company website.
49
I see. How early should I book it?
50
At least a day in advance. And always add 15 minutes extra for setup and cleanup.
51
Got it. I see you're taking notes a lot.
52
Yeah, it helps me remember things better.
53
Good habit. But in meetings, you should focus on the main ideas, not every word.
54
I will remember that.
55
And for the tech side, test your laptop, the screen, the projector, and all the cables before people arrive.
56
Right? What's worse than having a tech problem?
57
It's having a tech problem at a tech company.
58
Noted. Thanks for the advice!
59
Jennifer, I heard you're leading the new product project?
60
Yeah. It's for the new app.
61
Oh, it's a big one! Congratulations!
62
Thank you! I hope I can do it well!
63
I'm sure you will. You've been learning really fast.
64
That’s so kind of you to say. But the deadline is pretty tight...
65
How tight? I have 2 weeks.
66
2 weeks?! That deadline is as tight as my jeans after Christmas dinner.
67
Right?! That's why I'm so nervous.
68
Look, if you need some support, I'm here.
69
How? Aren't you busy with another project?
70
I wasn't talking about work support. I meant emotional support.
71
Haha, thanks. I might need a lot of it!
72
Good morning, Jennifer. I’m Sam from HR.
73
Thanks for joining this meeting!
74
Thanks for having me!
75
And Ben, thanks for being here to witness this.
76
Anytime! So, Jennifer, your probation period is over, and we have your permanent contract here.
77
Are you ready to make it official?
78
Yes, I’m so excited! I can’t believe it’s already been two months.
79
Let me walk you through the key points.
80
Yes, please.
81
Your salary, benefits, and vacation days are all outlined here.
82
We'll cover your health insurance and provide you with courses if you want to improve your skills.
83
You'll get 12 vacation days a year, with more days added after your first year.
84
Sounds good.
85
This part covers our confidentiality agreement.
86
Basically, what happens inside the company stays inside the company.
87
So… we’re like Vegas?
88
Exactly, except it's less fun here.
89
If this place were Vegas, I would be ten times richer.
90
Or ten times more broke. Hard to say.
91
Anyway, Jennifer, you can sign here once you’ve checked everything.
92
There! I’m officially official now!
93
Welcome to the team, officially!
94
Hey guys, did you see the email about the new overtime rules?
95
Yeah, I don't understand.
96
Does this mean we have to work more hours every week?
97
Not really. It just means if we stay late for big projects, we’ll get paid for it Okay, that’s good. But honestly, I don’t want to be at work until 9 PM every day.
98
Same here. What about work-life balance?
99
Can't miss work life balance if you don't even have a life in the first place.
100
Hey, I do have a life.
101
Really? How can you have it if you work until 11 every night?
102
Wait, you really do that?
103
Ben, that's not healthy.
104
I’m fine, I just… forget about time sometimes.
105
More like all the time.
106
Look, at least I'm setting an example.
107
Yeah, but it's a bad example.
108
Hey Jennifer, you look weirdly happy today. What’s going on?
109
Oh, Ben! I just found out I’m getting a 15% raise!
110
No way, that’s incredible. Congratulations!
111
Thanks, Ben! I can't believe it.
112
I've only been here for five months.
113
I know! All I got after five months was the ability to un-jam the printer!
114
Honestly, I don't feel like I deserve this.
115
You totally deserve it. Everything you do is amazing!
116
I was so nervous when Zoe called me into her office.
117
I thought I was in trouble or something.
118
Are you kidding?
119
You've been our star player since day one.
120
I'm actually a little jealous.
121
Don't be! I couldn't have done it without your... emotional support.
122
That's really sweet of you to say.
123
So, before we wrap up the meeting, I have an announcement.
124
Let's hope this doesn't take too long!
125
Don't worry. It'll be quick.
126
Jennifer’s being promoted to marketing team lead!
127
Wow, really? That’s amazing!
128
Congratulations, Jen.
129
I wish my car were as fast as you climbing in the career ladder.
130
She showed real talent and leadership.
131
I'm sure the team will do great under her guidance.
132
I couldn’t have done it without all of the team’s help!
133
And we wouldn’t have been able to help you without... a little celebration.
134
Agreed! So… how about lunch? My treat!

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。
