Hello, and welcome to English Shadowing.
2
Today, we will talk about something important.
3
We will talk about fear.
4
Fear is a feeling that everyone knows.
5
Sometimes, we are afraid of the dark.
6
Sometimes, we are afraid to talk to a new person.
7
Sometimes, we feel fear when we want to try something new, but we do not know what will happen.
8
Fear is a part of life.
9
But if we do not understand fear, it can stop us.
10
It can stop us from doing what we want.
11
So we need to learn about fear.
12
We need to know where it comes from.
13
We need to know what it does to our body and our mind.
14
and we need to know how to live a good and brave life.
15
Even if we feel fear, let us first talk about what fear is.
16
A long time ago, fear helped people stay safe.
17
When there was danger, fear helped people run or fight.
18
This helped them stay alive.
19
Today, fear still helps us.
20
This is good fear.
21
For example, if there is fire, fear helps us move away.
22
But sometimes we feel fear when there is no real danger.
23
This is not helpful fear.
24
For example, we feel afraid to speak in front of other people.
25
We feel afraid to make a mistake.
26
We feel afraid to do something new.
27
This fear does not help us.
28
It only stops us.
29
We do not grow.
30
We do not learn.
31
We stay the same.
32
Fear can come from many places.
33
Maybe we learned fear when we were children.
34
Maybe we had a bad experience.
35
Maybe people around us said we must be perfect.
36
These things make fear stronger.
37
But we must remember, fear is not always danger.
38
Fear is just a feeling.
39
We can learn to live with fear.
40
Now, let's talk about what fear does to our body.
41
When we feel fear, our body changes.
42
Our heart beats faster.
43
Our muscles get tight.
44
We breathe fast.
45
This is called fight, flight, or freeze.
46
It means we are ready to fight, run, or stop.
47
Our body wants to protect us.
48
A small part of the brain, called the amygdala, does this.
49
The amygdala sends a fast message to the body to feel fear.
50
It does not wait to think.
51
So we feel fear very fast, even when we are safe.
52
Sometimes our thoughts make fear worse.
53
If we think bad things, we feel more afraid.
54
If we think, I will fail, or people will laugh at me, fear becomes bigger.
55
But these thoughts are not true.
56
We must change our thoughts.
57
We can say good things to ourselves.
58
We can say, I will try, or I can do this.
59
These are positive thoughts.
60
They help us feel strong.
61
They help us do what we want, even if we are scared.
62
So, how can we face fear?
63
First, we look at the fear We say,
64
I am afraid of this This is the first step Then we ask, why am I afraid?
65
What do I think will happen?
66
When we ask questions, we start to understand fear When we understand fear,
67
it becomes smaller Another way to help is to stop negative thinking.
68
Bad thoughts make us feel weak, but good thoughts make us feel strong.
69
These good thoughts are called positive affirmations.
70
We can say, I am brave.
71
We can say, I can do hard things.
72
These words help our heart feel strong.
73
We can also use mindfulness.
74
This means to sit quietly and watch our thoughts.
75
We close our eyes.
76
We breathe slowly.
77
We say, I am calm.
78
I am safe.
79
Mindfulness helps us see fear, but not follow it.
80
It helps us feel better.
81
We can also use exposure.
82
This means we do the thing that scares us, but slowly.
83
If we are afraid to speak, we start by speaking to a friend.
84
Then we speak to a small group.
85
Then we speak to more people.
86
Each step makes fear smaller.
87
We learn that the thing we feared is not so bad.
88
This helps us grow.
89
Now, let's talk about the comfort zone.
90
A comfort zone is a place where we feel safe.
91
We do the same things every day.
92
We do not feel afraid, but we also do not grow.
93
To grow, we must leave our comfort zone.
94
This means we try new things.
95
It may feel a little scary, but that is okay.
96
We do not need to make big changes.
97
We can take small steps.
98
We can try new food.
99
We can talk to someone new.
100
We can say what we think.
101
Each small step helps us grow.
102
We learn more about ourselves.
103
We learn what we like.
104
We learn we are stronger than we thought.
105
Many people do great things because they try even when they are afraid.
106
They take one step, then another.
107
They grow.
108
We can do that too.
109
We can start today.
110
Fear is still there, but now we walk with it.
111
We do not stop.
112
We grow.
113
Now, let us talk about living boldly.
114
To live boldly means to live with our heart.
115
It means to try new things.
116
It means to be kind to ourselves.
117
It means to speak our truth.
118
It means to love.
119
It means to forgive.
120
A bold life is not perfect.
121
A bold life has feelings.
122
We feel happy.
123
We feel sad.
124
We feel fear.
125
We feel strong.
126
We feel weak.
127
But we keep going.
128
We try.
129
We learn.
130
We grow.
131
We do not stop.
132
To live boldly, we think about what we want.
133
What do we love?
134
What makes us happy?
135
What life do we want?
136
Then we take steps.
137
Small steps.
138
We do not need to hurry.
139
We just need to begin.
140
Each step is a gift.
141
Each step brings us closer to our dream.
142
When we feel fear, we say, I see you fear, but I will still go.
143
We do not run.
144
We walk with fear.
145
We listen to our heart.
146
We try.
147
That is how we feel alive.
148
Thank you for staying with me until the end.
149
This topic is not easy, but it is important.
150
Fear can feel big, But we are bigger.
151
We are strong.
152
We are ready.
153
We can live with courage.
154
We can grow.
155
We can love.
156
We can try.
157
And that is enough.
158

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。
