35
Sometimes it is hard to follow.
36
It is, but it makes life easier.
37
Think about communication.
38
Oh, yes.
39
That is the biggest change.
40
Do you remember writing letters with a pen and paper?
41
grandmother.
42
It took one week for the letter to arrive.
43
One week.
44
That is a long time.
45
Now we have smartphones.
46
Exactly.
47
Now I can send a text message. And ping!
48
She gets it in one second.
49
One second.
50
It is magic.
51
And it is not just text.
52
We can see people.
53
Video calls.
54
I love video calls.
55
a different city.
56
He is very far away. Does he?
57
Yes, but we talk on video every Sunday.
58
I can see his face.
59
I can see his new dog.
60
It feels like we are in the same room.
61
That is so important.
62
It brings families together.
63
It does.
64
It makes the world feel small.
65
We share our lives.
66
It is very special.
67
So, communication is number one.
68
It is much better now.
69
What else do you use, Emily?
70
Hmm.
71
I use technology for directions.
72
Directions?
73
You mean maps?
74
Yes.
75
Paul, I have a secret.
76
What is your secret?
77
I am very bad with directions.
78
I get lost all the time.
79
Really?
80
Even in your own city?
81
Yes, even in my neighborhood.
82
If I turn left instead of right, oh no, I am lost.
83
Oh, Emily, that is funny.
84
It is funny now, but before smartphones, it was scary.
85
I had big paper maps in my car.
86
Oh, I remember those.
87
They were huge and very hard to fold back together.
88
Yes, impossible to fold. on my phone.
89
The GPS?
90
Yes.
91
A nice voice tells me where to go.
92
Turn left in 100 meters.
93
You have arrived at your destination.
94
Yes, that is my favorite sentence.
95
You have arrived.
96
It saves a lot of time and stress.
97
So much stress.
98
I am never lost now.
99
Well, almost never.
100
Technology helps, True.
101
What about you, Paul?
102
What is another way technology helps you?
103
I think shopping.
104
Shopping?
105
Online shopping?
106
Yes.
107
I'm a little lazy sometimes.
108
We are all a little lazy sometimes.
109
I do not like big supermarkets.
110
They are crowded.
111
There are too many people.
112
I understand.
113
It can be loud and busy. On an app?
114
On your phone?
115
Yes.
116
I choose the milk, the bread, the eggs, and the apples. And then?
117
And then a kind person brings it to my door.
118
To your house?
119
Yes.
120
I don't carry heavy bags.
121
I don't stand in line.
122
It is wonderful.
123
That is very convenient.
124
It saves time.
125
It saves a lot of time.
126
I can use that time to read or relax English.
127
That is a great way to use your time.
128
And it's good for gifts too.
129
Oh?
130
How?
131
If my friend has a birthday but he lives far away, I can buy a gift online and send it to his house.
132
That is true.
133
You don't need to go to the post office.
134
Exactly.
135
Technology connects us and it helps us give things to people we love.
136
That is a nice way to think about it.
137
But Emily, what about inside the house?
138
Inside the house?
139
Like the kitchen?
140
Yes, or the living room.
141
Do you have any smart things in your home?
142
Mmm, let me think.
143
I have… A robot.
144
A robot?
145
Like in the movies?
146
No, not like the movies.
147
It is a small, round robot.
148
It cleans the floor.
149
Ah!
150
A robot vacuum cleaner.
151
Yes.
152
His name is Dusty.
153
You gave him a name?
154
Dusty.
155
That is perfect.
156
Yes, Dusty is my best friend.
157
He cleans the carpets while I am at work.
158
That is amazing.
159
You come home and the house is clean.
160
Yes.
161
Well, sometimes he gets stuck under the sofa.
162
Poor Dusty.
163
I have to rescue him.
164
Come here, Dusty.
165
But usually he is very good.
166
It elevates my life because I hate cleaning floors.
167
See?
168
That is a perfect example.
169
Technology does the boring work for us.
170
Yes, so we can do the fun things.
171
I have something small in my house.
172
I have smart lights.
173
Smart lights?
174
What do they do?
175
I can talk to them.
176
You talk to your lights?
177
Paul, are you okay?
178
No, really.
179
I say, "Turn on the lights," and they turn on.
180
Wow!
181
Just with your voice?
182
Yes.
183
Or I say, "Dim the lights," and they become soft and dark, for watching a movie.
184
That is very cool.
185
It's like a magic trick.
186
It feels like magic.
187
I don't need to stand up to find the switch.
188
You really are lazy.
189
I call it efficient.
190
Efficient.
191
Okay, I like that word.
192
But Emily, we must talk about health.
193
Health?
194
How does technology help our health?
195
Remember my new watch?
196
Yes, the smartwatch.
197
It counts my steps.
198
Steps?
199
Like walking?
200
Yes.
201
It tells me how much I walk every day.
202
Oh, that is good.
203
How many steps do you walk?
204
My goal is 10 ,000 steps.
205
10 ,000!
206
That is a lot of steps.
207
It is.
208
But the watch helps me.
209
If I sit on the sofa for a long time, the watch vibrates.
210
Bzzz.
211
It buzzes you?
212
Yes, it says, "Paul, stand up, move !" It's like a strict teacher on your wrist.
213
It is, but it's good for me.
214
It reminds me to be active.
215
That is very helpful.
216
Sometimes we forget to move when we are working or watching TV.
217
Exactly.
218
And there are apps for water, too. For water?
219
Yes, to remind you to drink water.
220
Bzzit, drink water.
221
Wow.
222
So technology keeps us healthy and hydrated. And calm.
223
Calm?
224
Yes.
225
I use an app for sleep. with sleep sometimes.
226
Me too.
227
This app plays nice sounds like rain or the ocean.
228
Whoosh.
229
Mmm, that sounds relaxing.
230
It is.
231
I listen to the sound of rain and I fall asleep very fast.
232
That is much better than looking at a bright screen before bed.
233
Yes, that is a bad habit.
234
We us from sleeping.
235
That is a very good point, Paul.
236
Technology is a tool.
237
We must use it well.
238
Yes, we control the technology.
239
The robot does not control us.
240
I hope Dusty does not control me.
241
I think you are safe.
242
You know, Paul, there is one more very important way technology improves our lives.
243
What is it?
244
Learning.
245
Learning, yes, like right now.
246
Exactly.
247
Our listeners are using technology to learn English.
248
It is amazing.
249
Years ago, to learn English, you needed a big, heavy book.
250
And you had to go to a classroom at a specific time.
251
But now you can listen to a podcast.
252
on the bus Or in the car.
253
Or while walking the dog.
254
Or while your robot cleans the floor.
255
Yes, you can learn anytime, anywhere.
256
And if you don't know a word, what do you do?
257
You check your phone.
258
The dictionary is in your pocket.
259
It is so fast.
260
You can translate words instantly.
261
It makes learning languages much more accessible – for everyone.
262
Accessible.
263
That is a great word.
264
It means everyone can use it.
265
Yes.
266
I use apps to learn cooking, too.
267
Cooking?
268
You use technology in the kitchen?
269
I watch and I copy.
270
And does the cake taste good?
271
Usually.
272
Sometimes I burn it, but that is not the phone's fault, that is my fault.
273
Technology cannot fix everything, Paul.
274
No, not yet.
275
Maybe in the future, the robot will cook the cake.
276
Oh, I would like that.
277
Me too.
278
So, Paul, we have talked about so many things.
279
We have.
280
Communication, maps, shopping, smart homes, health, and learning.
281
Technology really does elevate our daily life.
282
Elevate means to lift up, to make better.
283
Yes, it makes life smoother.
284
But… But?
285
Do you sometimes turn it off?
286
Ah, that is a good question.
287
Because sometimes it is nice to be quiet.
288
No phones, no beeps, no bzzz.
289
I agree.
290
On Sunday afternoons, I like to put my phone away.
291
Just read a real book?
292
Yes, or walk in the park without counting steps.
293
Just walking for fun.
294
That is nice.
295
Balance.
296
We need balance.
297
Exactly.
298
Use technology to help you, but don't forget the real world.
299
The trees, the birds, the friends.
300
the coffee The coffee, yes.
301
A machine makes the coffee, but we drink it.
302
Very true.
303
Well, Emily, talking about technology makes me want to go use my smartwatch.
304
Are you going to walk 10 ,000 steps?
305
Maybe 5 ,000.
306
Let's start small.
307
Good idea.
308
Start small.
309
This was a great conversation, Emily.
310
I feel energized.
311
Me too.
312
I am happy we could chat about this.
313
these things.
314
Yes, words like app, download, search, connect.
315

316
We do, and now our listeners can use them too.

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。
