5
Let's get started.
6
Today is the day!
7
I'm going to fly!
8
Fly?
9
What are you talking about, Penny?
10
Penguins can't fly.
11
You know that.
12
I know we can't fly like other birds, but I have a plan.
13
Penny had always dreamed of flying.
14
Ever since she was a little chick,
15
she watched the seabirds soaring above the ocean and wished she could join them.
16
Other penguins often laughed at her dreams, but she never gave up.
17
What kind of plan?
18
Penny points to a pile of feathers and sticks.
19
I've been collecting these with the help of Sam the seagull.
20
I'm going to build a wing glider.
21
A wing glider?
22
What's that?
23
It's like wings.
24
If I build it right, I can glide over the ice.
25
I don't know, Penny.
26
It sounds dangerous.
27
Don't worry.
28
I've thought it through.
29
Sam is helping me.
30
Hi everyone.
31
Ready to build?
32
You really got Sam to help?
33
Yes.
34
He believes in me.
35
As Penny worked on her wing glider, she remembered the first time she saw a bird fly.
36
She was just a small penguin watching albatrosses glide over the waves.
37
That dream had stayed with her ever since.
38
Over the next few days, Penny and her friends worked hard.
39
Sam brought more feathers and sticks from faraway places.
40
Together they built the glider with wide wings and a sturdy frame.
41
It's ready!
42
Are you sure about this?
43
You can do it, Penny!
44
Just remember what we practiced.
45
Here I go!
46
Penny carefully strapped on the glider wings she and her friends had built.
47
Taking a deep breath, she stepped to the edge of the cliff.
48
The icy wind brushed against her face as she looked down.
49
With her heart pounding, Penny leaped off the cliff.
50
For a moment, she felt herself dropping swiftly towards the ground.
51
Then the wings caught the wind, lifting her up slightly.
52
She began to glide over the ice, the cold air rushing past her.
53
I'm flying!
54
I'm really flying!
55
In that moment, Penny felt free.
56
The cold air brushed against her feathers and she could see everything from up high.
57
She wasn't flying like other birds,
58
but she was soaring through the air in her own way.
59
Oh, look at her go!
60
That's incredible!
61
How does it feel?
62
Amazing!
63
Thank you for your help!
64
The wings slowly descended.
65
And Penny landed softly on the snow.
66
She unstrapped the glider wings and waved excitedly to her friends.
67
That was the best feeling ever!
68
You did it, Penny!
69
You really did it!
70
I didn't think it was possible.
71
I told you!
72
With a little creativity and determination, anything is possible!
73
As Penny's friends gathered around her, they felt inspired.
74
They realized that dreams could come true, even in unexpected ways.
75
Later that evening, the friends gather around a small fire.
76
The sky is filled with stars.
77
You know, Penny, you've inspired me.
78
Oh, how so?
79
I've always wanted to swim across the big bay, but I was too scared.
80
Maybe we can help you train.
81
I'll keep an eye out for any dangers from above.
82
See?
83
When we support each other, we can do anything!
84
Penny's Adventure taught them all a lesson about courage and friendship.
85
They understood that trying new things could lead to wonderful experiences.

「English Story - Nothing is Impossible - English Listening and Vocabulary Practice (Level B1)」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。

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。
