シャドーイング練習: How I Restored The Ancient City In Minecraft! - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

The ancient city.

Who built it?

What happened to it?

What is the warden?

And where does the portal go?

I'm here to answer none of these questions.

I'm just here to restore the city.

In all seriousness, I love the ancient city.

It is a very awesome place.

Since the first time I saw it, I wanted to restore the city to its former glory.

I actually played for 100 days doing exactly that in survival mode.

You guys might want to give that a watch afterwards if you like.

But I have returned once more.

Just this time I'm in creative mode and together we're gonna flip this place

and I don't sell it for double value Yes

So I just loaded up a random seed

and teleported it to the nearest the Asian city all the cities aren't the same But this one seems fine enough, so Where do I begin?

Hmm Where do I begin?

I guess the most reasonable thing will be by removing all of the sculpt and other sculpt blocks Yeah, yeah, that would be a good start

So I replaced all the sculpt blocks with the deep slate

and other blocks with just air

and just look at all the sculpt disappearing It's actually very satisfying to look at

and this place Wow I mean just look at this place it already looks much better and we have barely started Okay, so before we move on there's one thing I quickly would like to do first

and that is to increase the ceiling height It's not terrible right now There are just certain places

and especially around a center portal that I would like to have a higher ceiling

so that the portal will be clearly visible from any direction in the city.

And instead of everything being deep slate and dark, I used some dripstone blocks.

But this is just a start, I'm not finished here.

I'm going to return to the ceiling later in the video and make it more pretty.

And that is going to be pretty nice.

Okay, so let's actually restore something.

And I will begin with something simple.

And that is these columns next to the city entrance.

The goal here is not to change the structures, just mainly adding the missing blocks.

Still, I would like to put some life to it.

So I did add some tiny extra details such as these new trapdoors.

I don't know, I kind of like them.

They might become a theme down here in the ancient city.

Let us continue working on the city entrance.

And I began by fixing the main center path.

Even through some wood flooring in there too.

Then I actually added grass blocks to the ground and it changed everything.

I mean, it looks so different and nice now.

And then I thought it would be cool if we had a big water pond here at the edge.

I mean, it's very likely that the ancient city people had access to water.

So yeah, they used to have water here, I have decided.

And now there's just one final thing to do, and that is to fix the scouting tower.

Just look at how it used to be and how it is now.

That is a big transformation.

Next thing I want to tackle are the city walls, and they are all over the place down here.

But once I've restored a single piece, I can just copy and paste it through the other sections.

There was also a really cool gate bridge here that was mostly intact, so that didn't take long to restore

and next to the walls was a portal statue that I also restored and rotated in a better position.

Now this corner of the city is complete.

Before I moved on, I returned back to the entrance pillars

and added a blue flame to the top of all of them.

Since there's blue flames below the portal, I thought it would be fitting with some extra blue flames up here too.

The key, I kind of broke my own rule here on this next build.

There was just a random wall section that felt a bit out of place.

So I deleted it and built something else original.

I was not supposed to do that, but I really wanted to have a wheat farm area, and I built something that was inspired and looked similar to other ancient structures, so nothing too fancy.

And I may have built a long road too.

I don't know, there might have been plenty of roads

and paths here in the ancient city before it got destroyed and infested with skull.

I'm pushing forward, and I slightly changed the position of this wall here to fit with the previous area, and I made it unbroken.

Also added a long but tiny river, just to make it nicer.

Then I moved and began restoring a new structure called the barracks.

Again, I'm mostly adding blocks to the destroy sections and adding tiny extra details and this thing is coming together.

Then I also placed down a ruin that I believe used to be a house at some point.

There we go, we got a barracks and a house here.

The barracks is a very cool structure.

It has two entry points, two chests, a skeleton skull, can you believe that?

And a nice portal statue.

The ruin that I turned into a house also has a chest.

I even placed some blue carpet on the floor.

You can find those carpets here in the city, In places where they actually don't fit.

So I imagine the people here took the carpet from the house and used it to sneak around in the city.

So I realized that my ancient city was actually missing a couple of structures.

And I would like to have all of the main structures here in my city.

So I just randomly flew away in spectator mode and I found a new ancient city.

I don't know what to say.

I need you guys to fill me in here.

I found an ancient city that had two center portals.

Uh, that is not supposed to happen, right?

Is this one city or is this two cities that have somehow merged together?

What is the spawn rate or rarity of the ancient cities?

I am somewhat confused here.

I'm not even done I found a few structures, but I want them more so I flew away

and within a few blocks I ended up in another ancient city

So apparently there are three cities extremely close to one another and two of them are even merged.

That is crazy, right?

But anyhow, I got the structures that I needed

and I went back to my ancient city I was originally going to wait a bit longer with this one

But I decided to do the center portal now easily the

most time-consuming transformation of them all I went through all of the outer walls and fixed them.

That sure took a long time

And I thought it would be nice with some greenery right below the portal too

And the portal itself needed much work and I tried highlighting certain spots

and brightening it up more I was not sure what to do at the bottom, but I made some water canals I thought it was cool

100

and to finish up the center portal I added a blue

101

tinted glass in the center to simulate an active portal I'm really happy with this

102

and I must show you guys how I used to look before I arrived

103

and how it looks now What do you guys think?

104

If you guys are happy with the results so far, please drop a like for me.

105

Great, so now I just continued expanding the wall and I slightly moved a ruined structure and began restoring it.

106

I like to think that this was some sort of a worshipping place.

107

I mean, I bet the people down here in the Asian city used to be very religious.

108

And once I was done, I moved on and placed a different destroyed structure in the corner of the city.

109

This one looked more like a house to me, so I rebuilt it as one.

110

You may ask yourself, why do these houses have roof?

111

And I think even though they're not getting rain, it's nice to have a roof.

112

And also the dripstone.

113

You won't get that dripping down on you.

114

But yeah, once that was done, I made a simple but nice path.

115

The next structure is very cool, and that is the big tower.

116

It was actually missing from my city, and I found it while exploring the other cities earlier.

117

And wow, this one was basically not destroyed whatsoever, so there was little for me to do.

118

I only fixed a few broken parts, added lights, and added some carpets.

119

And yeah, that was basically it.

120

Before I tackle the next structure, I moved on and expanded my walls.

121

I would say that the half of the city now is basically restored.

122

That is very good.

123

Right next to where I placed the big tower, there was a ruin.

124

Perhaps it used to be a temple.

125

It kind of looks like one.

126

A very cool structure and I love the gate in the front.

127

Once again, with everything I've done so far, I'm mostly just adding the missing blocks with some extra touches.

128

I keep the shape and layout the same.

129

And to finish this area here, I made a path connecting these structures to the walls.

130

Let's just take a moment to appreciate and look at this temple.

131

I really hope you guys have enjoyed the video so far.

132

And once it's done, I have a couple of other videos that you might like.

133

Like when I built a Jurassic Park or the Squid Game and a zoo.

134

Something to think about.

135

But enough of that, let's move on.

136

There's an open space here.

137

And I know exactly what structure I would like to have here.

138

There's a house of some sort that you can find here in the ancient city that has two floors.

139

I'm not sure what this could be.

140

A hotel, a motel, or maybe just a big family house.

141

No idea.

142

And it wasn't in a terrible state.

143

Just a lot of skulk blocks.

144

So once I removed that and added the proper blocks back, I went around replacing the lanterns.

145

I fixed the balconies and added wood flooring and carpet around.

146

Also made the outside part a bit nicer.

147

And there it is.

148

A hotel, a motel, a house, a big house, who knows.

149

Now this next structure is the biggest structure besides the portal that you can find down here in the ancient city.

150

And it's probably one of the most unique ones as well.

151

It is a huge spa.

152

Yes, they actually had a big spa with a pool and a hot tub.

153

The ancient peoples were really enjoying life until, well, they didn't anymore.

154

This one wasn't in too bad shape either.

155

Just a couple of blocks that were missing, and the two rooms in the middle needed some work.

156

And the other walls?

157

Yeah, this structure apparently had very long and tall walls.

158

I guess privacy was very important to the Asian people.

159

Look at this, the spa quickly took shape, and I actually ended up using the same big road that I have outside.

160

And I quickly restored this barracks with the one that I restored.

161

And at the end of the road, I added the wash tower.

162

Well, well, well, well, the spa is back in business, and people can finally once again enjoy a warm bath.

163

How about that?

164

So this area is almost complete.

165

I just need to connect the path and fix this wall here.

166

I also copy and pasted one of the houses that I built earlier.

167

And yeah, I think I'm finished here.

168

Looks good.

169

In the ancient city, there were these tiny pillars that I have somehow overlooked.

170

So I quickly restored one and placed it next to the wheat farm.

171

And added a bunch of trees behind it.

172

The next structure we will work on is the icebox.

173

And it's basically just one huge freezer.

174

What they're reasoning for having this is beyond me.

175

Perhaps you guys know.

176

But I like it.

177

I like it being very mysterious and weird.

178

Anyhow, I placed it in the left corner of the center portal.

179

The general surface down here in Asian City has been very flat all around, and I don't really like that too much, so I built the icebox slightly higher up.

180

It was mainly just the entrance that needed the most attention, but I did replace a lot of cobblestone with bricks to make it look overall nicer.

181

And once I was done with the icebox, I copied and pasted a big tower on the right side, and a tiny pillar on the left side.

182

And in the corner, there were something there.

183

It was a structure which was full of wool, And I honestly had no idea what to do with this.

184

At first I thought it was a wool storage.

185

But once I actually removed the wool.

186

I realized this was some sort of social space.

187

Because beneath all of this wool.

188

There was a bench and a campfire.

189

Very nice.

190

So I guess this is some sort of social space.

191

I still ended up adding some wool back.

192

As I kind of liked having it.

193

And because I used to have it before.

194

We're back in the city entrance in the left corner.

195

There wasn't much space here.

196

So I decided to do my own thing here.

197

And make a hill with a tiny temple.

198

You know for those who want to get somewhat far away from the noise

199

and praying or maybe you just want to go fishing

200

or dive into the water you could do that as well

201

and we're getting awful close to the end it may have seemed fast for you guys

202

but i think i spent up to like 20

203

or 30 hours on this

204

and now i'm adding some of the final structures here in

205

the ancient city i think i've covered all of them now there are some ruins

206

that are just random place blocks that uh

207

that i honestly have no idea what they used to be

208

but i do imagine they were just houses then it's just the final corner

209

and we're mostly done i just restored the barracks added a camp, place down some lava, and restore the temple at the very edge.

210

I'm so hyped for the before and after shots, but before I can show you guys that, I must fix the ceiling, and I would like this cave to be a mix of lush cave and dripstone cave,

211

so I spent some time adding that all over the place here.

212

The glowing berries won't light up or grow right away, I just hope they won't go too far down, but we will see.

213

I'm sorry.

214

you Alright,

215

that's it guys.

216

We have done it!

217

We have restored the Asian City, at least the way I think it used to look.

218

And I just want to give you guys a quick tour.

219

I did have some glow squids, but they all disappeared?

220

I don't know where they went.

221

But yes, this is how I imagined Asian City would have looked if it weren't destroyed by the Skulk.

222

And the Warden and stuff.

223

And I gotta say, I love the dripstone and Lush Cave.

224

Looks so nice.

225

And of course, thank you guys so much for watching

226

and I want to give a huge shout out to my

227

Patreon supporters as well You you will get this map

228

and the map will also be available on my Nexus store So if you want to go grab it, you can do it I think it will include a schematic

229

if it's possible So you can like paste in the ancient city wherever you like

230

or just use the same world seed the same world save I mean, yeah, that's pretty much it flying around.

231

Here's like the temple just ended up flowing some water behind it We have lava pounds, we gotta keep it warm in here.

232

Here's a two story building.

233

We got a barracks with mini barracks actually.

234

And here's a camp.

235

There's another temple and a temple here.

236

I think there are temples.

237

The big watchtower.

238

And we have some houses.

239

Lava.

240

I forgot one thing.

241

Damn it.

242

I did add sheeps but I didn't add any other animals.

243

I was supposed to add cows.

244

I bet they had all types of animals. But I...

245

Okay, it's only sheeps.

246

Sorry.

247

And here we got another barracks and a watchtower, a small scouting tower, I guess.

248

And here's a spa, a big spa with a pool and a hot tub.

249

Very nice.

250

And here's the icebox.

251

No idea what that is for.

252

You guys better film me.

253

That's pretty much it, you guys.

254

Oh, and I actually did add some extra lights around the photo.

255

I guess I can show the entrance.

256

I don't think I showed it clearly, but I made two entry points here too.

257

to go in here

258

and uh i haven't changed anything on the inside with all the red stones

259

and i don't know i have no idea what's in here

260

but i didn't i did i did not touch it only

261

thing i did was outside i made some better way up to the wall

262

and the bridge is still here i did a bell

263

here you can see the portal it's just glass obviously again thank you guys

264

so much for watching i'm glad you watched the entire thing please subscribe

265

and drop a like for me i do a lot of building timelapse builds like this one

266

and I do a bunch of PvP survival videos, like fun videos where me and a couple of friends go together and I don't know, do a fun theme.

267

Like the next one is gonna be Purge.

268

Let me tell you, it was really fun.

269

So we all joined this one server together and we had to play peacefully for seven days, seven real days.

270

But on the last day, the Purge started.

271

That means that people can do whatever they want.

272

They can grieve, they can kill and the The purge will last for 3 hours

273

and I guess the goal is to survive.

274

There can be multiple survivors but I wouldn't say more than that.

275

You guys just gotta wait and see.

276

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

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。
