Please tell me something about a hobby you wouldn't like to try.

Part 2.
30
Now, let's talk about different ways to stay healthy.
31
Do you think exercising is a good way to stay healthy?
32
Yes, definitely.
33
Everybody knows that exercising is the best way to have good health and a strong body.
34
I think exercising is good for us because it helps us not to get ill very often.
35
It helps us relax and it makes our body stronger.
36
When I have lots of homework or when I'm studying for exams, I take regular breaks and do some exercise.
37
It helps me think and remember better.
38
How about eating healthy food?
39
Eating healthy food is also an important way to stay healthy.
40
A lot of people are getting fat and having diseases because they only eat fast food and unhealthy snacks.
41
I can't agree more.
42
What we eat every day is what we are.
43
So eating balanced meals helps us to have enough energy and prevent us from being ill.
44
Do you think getting enough sleep is important?
45
Well, when you go to bed early, you feel better in the next morning.
46
A good night's sleep helps you learn better at school the next day.
47
You're right.
48
Sometimes when I don't have enough sleep at night, it is hard for me to study and concentrate at school.
49
Do you think walking is good for you?
50
Yes, walking is an easy way to exercise.
51
But if you walk slowly, it doesn't help much.
52
You need to walk fast and for long distances to stay healthy.
53
Yes, I think so.
54
Walking slowly is only to relax your mind, not a good exercise for your body.
55
Do you like waking up early or late?
56
I prefer waking up late because I usually chat to my friends late at night, so it's difficult to wake up early in the mornings.
57
I like waking up early because I have lots of time to do the things I need to do.
58
I usually go to bed quite early too, so it's easier to wake up in the morning.

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。
