Hello, welcome back to my channel.
2
I want to tell you a story.
3
This story is real.
4
It is about something that changed my life.
5
My name is John.
6
I am 78 years old.
7
When I was young, I didn't care about anything.
8
I woke up late.
9
I played games all day.
10
I laughed a lot, but I learned nothing.
11
I didn't read books.
12
I didn't work.
13
I didn't think about my future.
14
Every day was the same.
15
I was wasting time, but I didn't see it.
16
Then one weekend, my uncle came to visit.
17
He was quiet and serious.
18
He sat down with me and looked into my eyes.
19
I smiled, but he didn't.
20
Smile back.
21
He said, don't waste your time.
22
Just that.
23
Nothing more.
24
No long talk.
25
No big story.
26
He stood up and walked away.
27
But I couldn't forget his words.
28
They stayed in my head like a song on repeat.
29
For many days, I thought about his words.
30
At first, I didn't care.
31
I thought I had lots of time.
32
But slowly, I started to feel different.
33
I looked at my life.
34
I saw how many hours I lost.
35
I asked myself, what am I doing?
36
I had no answer.
37
I felt sad.
38
I wanted to change.
39
I wanted to use my time better.
40
I didn't want to waste my life.
41
So I began with small steps.
42
I started waking up early.
43
I read one page of a book every day.
44
I wrote down my thoughts in a notebook.
45
I watched videos about learning.
46
I asked people for advice.
47
I tried new things.
48
Some days were hard.
49
I wanted to quit.
50
But I remembered my uncle's words.
51
They gave me power to keep going.
52
Now I am older.
53
I am not rich or famous.
54
But I am proud.
55
I use my time well.
56
I learn new things.
57
I help others.
58
And I feel happy.
59
All this started with one short sentence.
60
Don't waste your time.
61
That sentence changed my life.
62
And maybe it can change your life too.
63
So listen to me.
64
Don't wait.
65
Don't be lazy.
66
Start today.
67
In the beginning, I didn't know how to change.
68
I was still the same person.
69
I was lazy.
70
I didn't want to work hard.
71
But I remembered what my uncle said.
72
So I made a plan.
73
It was a simple plan.
74
I wrote three things on paper.
75
Wake up early
76
Read every day And write one idea That was my plan I put the paper on my wall I saw it every morning It helped me start
77
Waking up early was not easy The first week was very hard I wanted to sleep more My bed felt warm and soft
78
But I said no. I got up.
79
I opened the window.
80
I looked at the sky.
81
I took a deep breath.
82
The morning air felt new.
83
It felt clean.
84
My mind was quiet.
85
I started to like mornings.
86
They gave me energy.
87
They made me feel strong inside.
88
Reading was also a big change.
89
I did not like books before.
90
I thought they were boring.
91
But I started with easy books.
92
Just one page a day.
93
Then two pages.
94
Then 5.
95
I read stories.
96
I read facts.
97
I read about people who worked hard and changed their lives.
98
Those stories gave me hope.
99
They showed me that small steps can build a better future.
100
I wanted that future too.
101
Writing was the hardest part.
102
I didn't know what to write.
103
My hand was slow.
104
My words were simple.
105
But I didn't stop.
106
I wrote one small idea each day.
107
Sometimes I wrote about my dreams.
108
Sometimes about my fears.
109
Sometimes I just wrote a word.
110
But I wrote.
111
And that small habit helped me understand myself.
112
It helped me see what I wanted from life.
113
As the weeks passed, I felt proud.
114
My life was still simple.
115
But I was moving forward.
116
My days were not wasted.
117
I was learning.
118
I was growing.
119
I didn't feel lost anymore.
120
I had a goal.
121
I had a plan.
122
And I had a reason to wake up.
123
All this came from one moment, one visit, and one sentence from my uncle.
124
Don't waste your time.
125
I started to talk less and listen more.
126
Before, I always wanted to speak.
127
I wanted people to hear me.
128
But now, I listened.
129
I listened to people with experience.
130
I listened to people with ideas.
131
I watched how they lived.
132
I saw how they worked hard.
133
I learned from their stories.
134
I saw that smart people don't waste time.
135
They use time like gold.
136
Every minute is important to them.
137
I also stopped doing things that gave me nothing.
138
I watched less TV.
139
I used my phone less.
140
I stayed away from people who only talked but never worked.
141
They laughed all day but did nothing.
142
I didn't want to be like them.
143
I wanted to grow.
144
I wanted to be better.
145
So I made a new rule for myself.
146
If something is not useful, I will not do it.
147
That rule helped me stay focused.
148
Soon, I began to see small changes.
149
I was reading more.
150
I was writing better.
151
My ideas were clear.
152
I started to understand myself.
153
I knew what I wanted.
154
I didn't feel lazy anymore.
155
I felt strong.
156
My time had meaning.
157
I used to waste hours.
158
Now, I used every hour for something good.
159
That feeling was new to me.
160
And I liked it very much.
161
One day, my uncle came.
162
To visit again.
163
He looked at me and smiled.
164
He didn't say much, but I think he saw the change in me.
165
I told him what I was doing.
166
I showed him my notebook.
167
He nodded and said, good, that one word made me happy.
168
I knew I was going the right way.
169
His short sentence helped me find a better life.
170
So, I say this to you now.
171
You don't need to do big things.
172
You don't need to move fast.
173
You just need to move.
174
Start small.
175
Start now.
176
Listen to the right people.
177
Make good habits.
178
Use your time for learning, not for wasting.
179
If you do that, your life will start to change too, just like mine did.
180
Some days were still hard.
181
I woke up and didn't feel strong.
182
I didn't want to read or write.
183
I felt tired.
184
I felt bored.
185
But I told myself, keep going.
186
I remembered my uncle's voice.
187
I said the words again.
188
Don't waste your time.
189
That sentence became my guide.
190
It helped me stand up when I wanted to quit.
191
It helped me try again when I failed.
192
I made a list of dreams.
193
I wrote down five things I wanted to do.
194
They were simple dreams.
195
I wanted to finish a book.
196
I wanted to learn a skill.
197
I wanted to speak better.
198
I wanted to help someone.
199
I wanted to feel proud of my work.
200
I looked at that list every day.
201
It gave me direction.
202
It gave me a reason to wake up early.
203
And use my time well.
204
I also started to help other people.
205
I saw that many were like me before.
206
They felt lost.
207
They wasted time.
208
So I talked to them.
209
I shared my story.
210
I told them about my uncle.
211
I said the same words to them.
212
Don't waste your time.
213
Some listened.
214
Some laughed.
215
But I kept sharing.
216
I knew that even one sentence can open a door in someone's mind.
217
With time, I felt more confident.
218
I started doing new things.
219
I joined a class.
220
I learned from teachers.
221
I met people who wanted to grow.
222
They helped me learn faster.
223
We shared ideas.
224
We studied together.
225
Being around the right people helped me a lot.
226
I didn't feel alone anymore.
227
I felt like I was part of something bigger.
228
Looking back now, I feel thankful.
229
I am thankful for my uncle.
230
I am thankful for his words.
231
I am thankful that I changed.
232
Life is not always easy.
233
But when we use time well, life becomes better.
234
We become stronger.
235
We become wiser.
236
And we feel more alive.
237
That is what I want you to feel too.
238
I want you to know something important.
239
You don't have to be perfect.
240
You don't have to be the best.
241
You only need to try.
242
Trying is enough.
243
Many people wait for the perfect time.
244
But the perfect time does not come.
245
The best time is now.
246
Even if you are not ready, start now.
247
Take one small step.
248
That step can lead to a big change later.
249
I was not smart when I started.
250
I was not strong.
251
I didn't know many things.
252
But I used what I had.
253
Time.
254
Time is free.
255
But it is also the most valuable thing.
256
You can lose money and make it again.
257
But you cannot get your time back.
258
Once it is gone, it is gone forever.
259
That is why I protect my time now.
260
I don't let people or things waste it.
261
I also learned to enjoy simple things.
262
I didn't need to travel far.
263
I didn't need to buy expensive things.
264
I found joy in learning.
265
I felt happy after reading one.
266
Good page.
267
I smiled after writing one clear sentence.
268
I felt proud when I helped a friend.
269
These small things gave me peace.
270
They gave me meaning.
271
They helped me stay on the right path.
272
But I didn't listen.
273
I knew what I was doing.
274
I knew where I was going.
275
I didn't want their life.
276
I wanted something better.
277
I wanted to grow.
278
So I stayed quiet and kept working.
279
My time was too important for useless talk.
280
Now I want to ask you a question.
281
What are you doing with your time?
282
Are you building something?
283
Are you learning something?
284
Or are you wasting your days?
285
Be honest with yourself.
286
Your answer can show you your future.
287
If you don't like your answer, then change it.
288
You can start today, just like I did.
289
If you are still here listening to this story, I want to thank you.
290
It means you care.
291
It means you want to learn.
292
That is a good sign.
293
You are already better than the person who does nothing.
294
Many people never try.
295
They waste time and make excuses.
296
but not you.
297
You stayed.
298
You listened.
299
And maybe, just maybe, you are ready to change your life too.
300
You don't need to be fast.
301
You don't need to be great on day one.
302
All you need is to begin.
303
Set one small goal.
304
Wake up early.
305
Read one page.
306
Write one idea.
307
Help one person.
308
Repeat it every day Don't stop Some days will be easy Some will be hard But every small step moves you forward And that is how real change begins
309
Sometimes you will feel tired You will feel slow That's okay Rest, but don't quit Take a deep breath
310
Look at how far you've come.
311
Think about your dreams.
312
Think about your future.
313
Then stand up again.
314
Do one small thing.
315
That one thing is enough.
316
Over time, all those small things become big progress.
317
You will be proud of yourself.
318
I still remember my uncle's voice.
319
It was calm but strong.
320
Don't waste your time, he said.
321
I didn't understand it then.
322
But now I do.
323
His words were a gift.
324
A short sentence but full of power.
325
It changed me.
326
It gave me a new life.
327
I hope it can help you too.
328
Maybe my voice can be your reminder now.
329
Just like his voice was mine.
330
So this is my last message to you.
331
Use your time well.
332
Time is your best friend.
333
It is also your biggest test.
334
Don't throw it away.
335
Use it to learn.
336
To grow.
337
To become better.
338
One day you will look back and smile.
339
You will thank yourself for starting.
340
And maybe you will share your story too.
341
With someone who needs it.

練習のヒント
この動画のスピードとトーンに合わせて、shadow speakを活用しましょう。ストーリーに構成された言葉やフレーズを繰り返すことで、聴覚的に英語を吸収しやすくなります。特に、発言のリズムを模倣することで、自然な発音に近づけることができます。
始めるには、まず動画を注意深く聞きます。次に、短いフレーズごとに自分の声で繰り返しましょう。この際、英語の発音を良くするために、自分の声を録音してみることをお勧めします。録音を聞くことで、改善すべき音の違いやリズムを特定できます。
また、IELTS スピーキング対策として、質問を思い浮かべ、それに対する自分の意見をストーリーから学んだ内容に基づいて話す練習をするのも良いでしょう。この方法で、実際の試験での反応力や流暢さを高めることができます。
最後に、一貫性が鍵です。練習を続け、自分の成長を楽しんでください。あなたの努力は、時間と共に成果をもたらします。
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。
