Junie B.
2
Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus by Barbara Park, illustrated by Denise Brunkus.
3
Chapter One, Meeting Mrs. My name is Junie B.
4
Jones.
5
The B stands for Beatrice, except I don't like Beatrice.
6
I just like B and that's all.
7
I'm almost six years old.
8
Almost six is when you get to go to kindergarten.
9
Kindergarten is where you go to meet new friends and not watch TV.
10
My kindergarten is the afternoon kind.
11
Today was my first day of school.
12
I've been to my room before though.
13
Last week, mother took me there to meet my teacher.
14
It was called Meet the Teacher Day.
15
My teacher was decorating the bulletin board with the letters of the alphabet bet.
16
I already know all of those letters, I said.
17
I can sing them, except I don't feel like it right now.
18
My teacher shook my hand.
19
Only our hands didn't fit together that good.
20
Her name was Mrs. I can't remember the rest of it.
21
Mrs. said I looked cute.
22
I know it, I said.
23
That's because I have on my new shoes.
24
I held my foot way high in the air.
25
See how shiny they are?
26
Before I put them on, I licked them.
27
And guess what else?
28
I said, this is my bestest hat.
29
Grandpa Miller bought it for me.
30
See the devil horns sticking out the sides?
31
Mrs. laughed, except I don't know why.
32
Devil horns are supposed to be scary.
33
Then we walked around the room and she showed me where stuff was, like the easels where we get to paint
34
and the shelves where the books are and the tables where we sit and don't watch TV.
35
One of the tables in the front of the room had a red chair.
36
I would like to sit here I think I told her.
37
But Mrs. said we'll have to wait and see Junie.
38
B I said call me Junie B.
39
I hollered the B part real loud so she wouldn't forget it.
40
People are always forgetting my B.
41
Mother rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling.
42
I looked up there too, but I didn't see anything.
43
Are you going to ride the bus, Junie B?
44
Mrs. asked me.
45
I made my shoulders go up and down.
46
I don't know.
47
Where's it going to?
48
My mother nodded her head and said, yes, she'll be riding the bus.
49
That made me feel scary inside, cause I never rided on a bus before.
50
Yeah, only where's it going to, I asked again.
51
Mrs. sat on her desk, and she and my mother talked more about the bus.
52
I tapped on Mrs. Guess what?
53
I still don't know where it's going to.
54
Mrs. smiled and said the bus driver's name was Mr. Woo.
55
Mr. Woo, said Mother.
56
That's an easy name for Junie B to remember.
57
I covered my ears and stamped my foot.
58
Yeah, only where's the stupid smelly bus going to?
59
Mother and Mrs. frowned.
60
Frowning is when your eyebrows look grumpy.
61
Watch yourself, Missy, said Mother.
62
Missy's my name when I'm in trouble.
63
I looked down at my shoes.
64
They didn't look as shiny as they did before.
65
Just then, another mother and a boy came in, and Mrs. went off to talk to them instead of me.
66
I don't know why, though.
67
The boy was hiding behind his mother and acting very babyish.
68
I can beat that boy up, I think.
69
After that, my mother sat me down and explained about the bus.
70
She said it's yellow, and it's called a school bus, and it stops at the end of my street.
71
Then I get on it and sit down, and it takes me to school.
72
And then your teacher will meet you in the parking lot, said mother.
73
Okay, Junie B, won't that be fun?
74
I nodded the word yes, but inside my head I said the word no.

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。
