Red Roses by Christine Lindup Read by Eliza Foss

Chapter 1 White Roses It's August.
3
Anna is playing her guitar on the balcony of her new apartment.
4
I like it here, she thinks.
5
Then her phone rings.
6
It's her friend, Vicki.
7
I'm coming now, Anna.
8
It's Grandview Apartments, Charlton, isn't it?
9
That's right.
10
See you soon.
11
Anna takes her guitar and goes out of her apartment.
12
She goes down in the elevator and goes outside.
13
Anna is waiting outside the apartment building.
14
A young man is walking along the street.
15
He is carrying a bunch of white roses.
16
Anna looks at them.
17
What beautiful roses, she thinks.
18
Then she looks at the young man.
19
He's nice too, she thinks.
20
The young man looks at her and smiles.
21
And suddenly Anna's face is pink.
22
Will is walking along the street when he sees a young woman with a guitar.
23
Hmm, a guitar, he thinks.
24
I must play my guitar more often.
25
Then he looks at the young woman.
26
She's nice, he thinks, and he smiles at her.
27
Anna's face is pink and she looks away.
28
Will goes into Grandview Apartments.
29
Just then, Vicki arrives in her car.
30
Hello, Anna, she says.
31
Are you okay?
32
Your face is a bit pink.
33
What's the matter?
34
Oh, uh, nothing, says Anna.
35
They drive away.
36
Vicki talks to Anna.
37
But Anna is thinking about the young man.
38
Who is he, she thinks.
39
Does he live in the building?
40
Who are the roses for?
41
His wife?
42
His girlfriend?
43
His mother?
44
Anna, are you listening? says Vicki.
45
Oh, sorry Vicki, says Anna.
46
Her face is red now.
47
What are you thinking about? says Vicki.
48
Tell me.
49
Well, I'm thinking about a bunch of roses, says Anna, and a man.
50
Aha!
51
Who is he? says Vicki.
52
I don't know, says Anna.
53
But I want to know, she thinks.
54
Will arrives at his Gran's apartment.
55
Hello, dear, she says.
56
Oh, you are a good boy.
57
You always bring me roses. Of course, says Will.
58
Gran makes Will some coffee.
59
She asks him a question.
60
But Will does not answer. Will, are you listening?
61
You're thinking about something, aren't you?
62
What is it?
63
Oh, sorry, Gran.
64
It's.. it's not important.
65
Later, Will says goodbye to his Gran.
66
Then he gets into his car and drives away.
67
In the car, he thinks about the young woman with the guitar.
68
Where does she live, he thinks.
69
Does she live in one of the apartments?
70
Or has she got a friend there?
71
How can I meet her?
72
Who is she?
73
Five minutes later, Anna and Vicki arrive outside the apartment building.
74
Good night, Vicki, says Anna.
75
Quick, go inside, says Vicki.
76
Just think, you walk out of the elevator, and there is a young man with a bunch of roses.
77
And he says, Oh, be quiet, laughs Anna.
78
See you tomorrow.
79
Chapter Two Pink Roses It's September.
80
Will is visiting his gran again.
81
It's a lovely day, Will, she says.
82
Let's have our coffee on the balcony.
83
Will and his gran are sitting on the balcony in the sun,
84
when suddenly Will hears a guitar.
85
Listen, he says.
86
That's a guitar.
87
Where's it coming from?
88
He stands up and looks around.
89
But he cannot see the guitar.
90
Excuse me, Gran, he says.
91
I, er, er, back soon.
92
And he runs out of the apartment.
93
Will runs along the corridor.
94
Where is the guitar?
95
And who is playing it?
96
He stops outside an apartment and listens.
97
Nothing.
98
Perhaps it's outside, he thinks.
99
Perhaps she's on her balcony.
100
So he goes down in the elevator and goes outside.
101
Upstairs, Anna takes her guitar and goes inside.
102
She closes the door to the balcony.
103
That's it for today, she thinks.
104
Will looks at all the balconies, but he cannot see or hear a guitar.
105
He goes back to his Gran's apartment.
106
Are you all right, dear? she says.
107
Yes, thanks, Gran, says Will.
108
It's just, oh, it's not important.
109
Well, it is important, but...
110
And Will tells Gran about the girl with the guitar.
111
A week later, Anna is coming home.
112
She can see a young man near the apartment building,
113
and he is carrying a bunch of roses, pink roses today.
114
But he is not looking, and he does not see her.
115
Anna walks more quickly, but when she gets to the building, there is nobody there.
116
She gets into the elevator.
117
There is nobody in the elevator.
118
But she can smell roses.
119
Beautiful pink roses.
120
One day, Anna comes home and finds Gran at the door of the building with a lot of bags.
121
Oh, can I help you?
122
she says.
123
Can I carry something?
124
Thank you very much, says Gran.
125
At the apartment, Gran says, Come in, dear.
126
Would you like some coffee?
127
Oh, that's very nice of you, says Anna.
128
I'm new here, and I don't know anybody in the building.
129
What do you do? asks Gran.
130
I'm a music student, says Anna.
131
Gran brings some coffee into the room.
132
These are lovely apartments, aren't they? says Anna.
133
Oh yes, says Gran.
134
I like it here very much.
135
She tells Anna about her apartment and about Charlton.
136
Later, Anna gets up.
137
I must go now, she says.
138
Thank you for the coffee.
139
Goodbye, dear, says Gran.
140
And Anna goes out.
141
What a nice girl, Gran thinks.
142
But just a minute.
143
A music student.
144
Perhaps she's the girl with the guitar.
145
I can ask her over one day when Will comes.
146
No, I can't.
147
I don't know the number of her apartment.
148
Later that week, Vicki talks to Anna.
149
I'm having a party on Saturday, she says.
150
Can you come?
151
Yes, Yes, of course, says Anna.
152
Your parties are always wonderful.
153
Vicki calls her brother.
154
Come to my party on Saturday, James, she says, and bring some friends.
155
On Saturday, James and his friends arrive at Vicki's house.
156
Hi, Vicki, says James.
157
Meet my friends.
158
This is Tom and Daniel and Will.
159
Just then, Vicki's phone rings.
160
I'm sorry, Vicki, says Anna.
161
I can't come to your party because I'm not feeling well.
162
Oh, Anna, I'm sorry too, says Vicki.
163
Well, stay in bed and get better soon.
164
Vicki's party is wonderful.
165
Will meets Natalie and Jane and Katie.
166
But he does not meet Anna.

Chapter 3 Red Roses Now it's October.
168
Will visits his gran, but he does not see Anna.
169
He walks along the corridor, but he does not hear a guitar.
170
Where is she, he thinks.
171
Anna visits her family for a week.
172
Then she comes back to her apartment.
173
She looks for Will, but she does not see him.
174
There are lots of men, says Vicki, but Anna cannot forget Will.
175
Then Gran goes to hospital for two weeks.
176
One day Will visits her there.
177
How are you today, Gran? he asks.
178
Very well, thank you, dear.
179
I'm going home on Friday.
180
That's good, says Will.
181
Perhaps I can get some things for you on Thursday and take them to the apartment.
182
That's very nice of you, Will, says Gran.
183
After work on Thursday, Will goes to the shops and gets some things for Gran.
184
He gets some roses, too.
185
And he puts everything in his car.
186
Suddenly it begins to rain.
187
Will is getting into his car when he sees his friend, Tom.
188
Where are you going, Tom?
189
Says Will.
190
Home, to Eastfield.
191
I'm going to my gran's apartment in Charlton, so I can take you to Eastfield first.
192
Can you take my friend Anna, too?
193
She's going to Charlton.
194
Yes, of course, says Will.
195
Tom and Anna get into Will's car.
196
Thanks, Will, says Tom.
197
It's not a very nice night.
198
That's all right, Tom, says Will.
199
He drives Tom home.
200
And then he says to Anna, Where are you going, Anna?
201
I'm going to Grandview Apartments.
202
It's on Park Road.
203
That's funny, says Will.
204
I'm going to Grandview Apartments. Is it her?
205
He thinks.
206
The girl with the guitar?
207
He looks in the mirror.
208
but he can't see her face very well.
209
Can I smell roses? thinks Anna.
210
Is it him, the man with the roses?
211
Then they are outside the apartment building.
212
They get out of the car, and then they begin to talk at the same time.
213
Oh, it's you.
214
You play the guitar.
215
And you come here with roses.
216
Yes, I always bring roses to my gran.
217
His gran? thinks Anna.
218
Not his wife, not his girlfriend.
219
She's coming home from hospital tomorrow,
220
so I'm taking some things to her apartment, says Will.
221
Can I.. would you like some help?" says Anna.
222
Yes, please, says Will.
223
They go up to Gran's apartment.

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。
