It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
6
A small group of people sit in silence.
7
Her eyes are fixed on the movement of one woman, Sachiko.
8
Sachiko is a small Japanese woman.
9
She wears traditional Japanese clothes, a beautiful kimono.
10
She is busy preparing a green tea.
11
She concentrates on each of her movements.
12
Each movement flows into the next.
13
What is she doing?
14
She is leading, or hosting, a Japanese tea ceremony.
15
Today's Spotlight is on the Japanese tea ceremony.
16
In Japan, drinking tea is very popular.
17
Originally, people drank tea as a form of medicine.
18
Soon they drank it because they enjoyed it.
19
At first, black tea was the most popular.
20
But in the 12th century this changed.
21
The people used a different kind of tea.
22
Green tea or matcha.
23
Both green and black teas come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.
24
People put the plant leaves in the sun to dry them.
25
Black tea is dried in the sun for a longer time.
26
The leaves react with the oxygen in the air and turn black.
27
But to make green tea, people gently steam the leaves before drying.
28
This way the leaves keep their green color.
29
The Japanese tea ceremony developed over many years.
30
But during the 16th century, the ceremony became an art form called wabi cha.
31
One of the people who influenced this art was the great tea master Senno Rikyu.
32
He believed in the importance of peace, respect, purity, and calmness.
33
He combined this simple, everyday part of life with his spiritual beliefs.
34
These are now called Sado, the way of the tea.
35
Sachiko is a young Japanese woman.
36
She has studied the tea ceremony for many years.
37
She describes what the tea ceremony means to her.
38
For me, the tea ceremony is like learning about life,
39
how I live and how do I see myself in this life.
40
And my tea master will teach me history of the tea ceremony and teach me about movements
41
or flower arrangement or utensil or pottery or any sort of thing.
42
The tea ceremony takes normally about three hours.
43
It takes many years to perform the art of a tea ceremony perfectly.
44
Like Sachi-ko, students do not just learn about tea.
45
They must also learn other traditions, such as Japanese writing and flower organizing.
46
At official tea ceremonies, even the people who attend must know some things about Sado.
47
They must know the right ways to move, such as how to drink the tea.
48
They must know when to speak and what to say.
49
In most tea ceremonies, a host will invite four people.
50
They are guests of the ceremony.
51
The host's helper leads these people into a waiting room.
52
The helper offers Sayu to drink.
53
This is hot water for tea making.
54
At the right time, the helper leads the people to the tea room, or chashitsu.
55
This special room is only for tea ceremonies.
56
Tea rooms are usually inside a tea house.
57
Pretty houses are usually outside in the garden.
58
Before the host receives her guests, she fills the stone basin with water.
59
She washes her hands and mouth.
60
She walks to the middle gate.
61
Here she welcomes her guests with a bow.
62
No one speaks.
63
The host leads the guests through the gate.
64
Then they too wash at the stone basin.
65
They are then ready to enter the tea house.
66
They enter the tea house through a sliding door.
67
The door is just under a meter high.
68
One must bow to go through.
69
This is an important act.
70
It is a sign of equality.
71
When people are through the door, they become equal.
72
They lose their social position.
73
The tea room is simple.
74
It usually has a hanging piece of material.
75
This has Japanese writing on it.
76
It may include words that show the values of the tea ceremony,
77
like peace, respect, purity, and calmness.
78
The room also usually contains flowers.
79
The guests bend down on their knees.
80
And they wait for the host to serve them.
81
They leave their worries behind them.
82
They center their minds only on the room.
83
Hosts may serve the guests sweets called higashi.
84
The host then organizes the tea instruments.
85
She cleans them with water.
86
She dries them with a fine cloth.
87
Then she places three scoops of tea for each guest into the tea bowl, or chawan.
88
She puts the right amount of water into the chawan.
89
And then she mixes it using a chasen.
90
She needs skill to mix the powdered tea in the correct way, to make it become a thick liquid.
91
Then she bows.
92
She lifts the chawan with her right hand, and she places it on her left hand.
93
She turns the chawan to the right three times using her right hand.
94
The host then passes the chawan to one of the guests.
95
He bows and accepts the bowl.
96
After he drinks from it, he cleans the top.
97
Then he passes it to the next guest with his right hand.
98
The guest turns the chawan and drinks from it in the same way.
99
Guests look at the bowl before they drink from it.
100
They see its beauty.
101
During the whole ceremony, the host serves the guests.
102
Each instrument and movement is important in the ceremony.
103
Buddhist theology influences much of these movements, positions, and instruments.
104
However, you do not have to be a Buddhist to take part in a tea ceremony.
105
Some people take part in the ceremony simply to enjoy the social gathering.
106
Others take part to enjoy the peace and calmness of the ceremony.
107
The way of the tea has four main teachings.
108
Wa means harmony or peace.
109
People must try and be at peace with everything in their life.
110
People and nature.
111
Kei means respect.
112
People must respect everything around them.
113
Sei means purity.
114
People must try to act purely.
115
Jakku means peace of mind.
116
It is these values that tea masters spend years trying to learn through sado, way of the tea.

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。
