1
Arthur, how are you settling in so far?
2
Very well, thanks. Everyone's been incredibly welcoming.
3
I'm glad. I'd like to hand a few tasks over to you.
4
Of course. I'm keen to get stuck in.
5
First of all, the supplier contracts need to be renewed.
6
Three of them are due to expire next month.
7
Would you like me to negotiate new prices as well?
8
Ideally, yes, but don't commit to anything without checking with me.
9
Understood. How much freedom do I have on the terms?
10
Anything up to a five percent increase is acceptable.
11
Beyond that, it has to be signed off by finance.
12
That's clear. What's next?
13
Secondly, I'd like you to take charge of the weekly newsletter.
14
I've never written one, but I'm happy to give it a go.
15
Don't worry. There's a template you can work from.
16
It just needs to be sent out every Friday by noon.
17
And who should I turn to if I run into difficulties?
18
Fiona's your best bet. She used to handle both jobs.
19
Good to know. I'll introduce myself this afternoon.
20
Do. She's ever so helpful once you get to know her.
21
Is that a reasonable amount to take on?
22
I think so, though the contracts sound like the priority.
23
Quite right. The newsletter can wait if you're under pressure.
24
In that case, I'll make a start on the contracts today.
25
Wonderful. Let's review your progress at the end of the week.
26
Perfect. I'll keep a record of where each contract stands.
27
That would be really useful. Any other questions?
28
Not for now. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly.

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。
