I'll make sure I meet the deadline.

Come in.
12
Here's the project, Mr. Moore.
13
Bring it to me once it's completed.
14
I've already completed it But I only gave it to you a few days ago,
15

16
Mr. Moore Okay, leave it with me and I'll call you once I've gone over it Hmm,
17
to complete such a large project in such a short time frame Can only mean one thing Poorly done work Diane,
18
you won't believe this.
19
Larry turned around the project I gave him in only six days,
20
and it was finished to a fantastic standard.
21
He exceeded every expectation.
22
How on earth had he been able to complete it so quickly and to such perfection?
23
The boy is a genius.
24
I went over it twice and examined it carefully.
25
This boy is worth his weight in gold.
26
Take my word for it.
27
Someone who would be of great value to the company.
28
I will promote him and give him a salary increase.
29
I can't risk this young man being snapped up by another employer.
30
That's right.
31
You should definitely promote him and reward his hard work.
32
I'm going to get a promotion, Kelly!
33
You're pulling my leg.
34
No, I deserve it.
35
I worked my fingers to the bone.
36
I think I made a hit with the boss.
37
My project knocked him dead.

Now he knows I mean business.

Congrats, Larry.

I'm glad he gave you this opportunity.

Finally, things are looking up for me.
42
I'm taking on more responsibility.
43
I'm sure you're going to do an amazing job.

You're really cut out for this work.

Did he also offer you a salary increase?
46
Of course.
47
I'll finally be able to rent my own apartment and go on more exotic vacations.
48
I have to hand it to you.
49
A hard worker like you deserves the best.
50
Sophia!
51
You startled me.
52
When did you get in?
53
Oh, just a few minutes ago.
54
I'm sorry, I couldn't get home earlier.
55
You were supposed to get off work early today.
56
Well, we had an important meeting,
57
and I couldn't get out of it.
58
I had to go.
59
It's getting late.
60
We're supposed to be at my cousin's wedding by 7.
61
Don't worry.
62
We'll make it there in time.
63
Anyway, I don't get it.
64
Why is your cousin getting married on a Friday and not on a Saturday?
65
It's simple.
66
To save money.
67
Hurry up and get changed.
68
My mother will never get over it if we arrive late.
69
She'll get really angry, so we have to get going.
70
But what should I wear?
71
Do you think I can get away with wearing pants?
72
Are you kidding?
73
I bought this beautiful dress for you to wear it for this occasion.
74
Well, you know I don't like dressing up.
75
Sophia, I get the feeling that you don't really want to go.
76
No, I do.
77
Don't get me wrong.
78
It's a chance for you to get to know my family better.
79
By the way, did you get around to buying a gift?
80
Weren't you supposed to do that?
81
Are you cheating on me?
82
Come again?
83
I saw you going into a fancy restaurant with a beautiful woman today.
84
Come off it.
85
What woman?
86
Don't come the innocent with me.
87
I really don't know where you're coming from.
88
I'm talking about the long-haired blonde woman in the blue suit.
89
Ah, right.
90
How come you saw us?
91
I'm glad you're finally admitting it.
92
I was just passing by and saw the two of you smiling at each other.
93
Who is she?
94
You'd better come clean about it and tell me everything.
95
When it comes to imagining things,
96
no one can beat you.
97
That was Jessica, my new boss.
98
That was a business meeting.
99
So don't jump to conclusions.
100
We were having lunch with two other colleagues.
101
I haven't seen Dylan in a while.
102
Come to think about it,
103
I haven't seen him for a few months.
104
Oh, he's busy moving into his new house.
105
He's bought a place in Lakeview.
106
How did he afford that?
107
Houses in Lakeview don't come cheap,
108
as far as I know.
109
Well, he's come a long way since he worked as a high school teacher.
110
He's always been ambitious.
111
He owns his own company now and is making a fortune.
112
Apparently, he's now as rich as they come.
113
He never breathed a word about this.
114
He kept it a secret.
115
Well, he doesn't like to boast about it.
116
How are you getting on in your new job, by the way?
117
Oh, there's so much to do and so much to learn that most Most of the time,
118
I don't know if I'm coming or going.
119
I'm just taking each day as it comes.
120
How's your work going?
121
It's going well.
122
I'm a clerk at an insurance company.
123
Very boring job.
124
Nothing to brag about.
125
No funny or cool stories to tell.
126
Whatever.
127
It pays the bills.
128
I guess I'll be with the same company for years to come.
129
What I need is a vacation right now.
130
Yes, that would come in handy.
131
Hi Emily, haven't seen you for ages.
132
Have you been a bit tied up at work?
133
Yes, I am so busy at work that I just grabbed some lunch on the fly.
134
I have too much on my plate right now.
135
Is that because of work?
136
Partly.
137
But I also have some friends staying with me this week.
138
I love spending time with them,
139
but all the cleaning, going out with them every night is exhausting.
140
But surely they could go out on their own.
141
Well, last night I suggested I give it a miss,
142
but they wouldn't listen.
143
Sounds like they've overstayed their welcome.
144
Yes, they have.
145
Benjamin Franklin had a saying,
146
fish and visitors stink after three days.
147
Haha, very funny.
148
And I'm having a bad hair day today, too.
149
I just couldn't do a thing with it this morning.
150
Oh, I know what you mean.
151
That happens to me too pretty often.
152
How about you?
153
How are things going for you at the moment?
154
We're having a difficult week, too.
155
We have no electricity at home,
156
and we can't cook or have a hot shower.
157
This is driving me crazy.
158
We were lucky last night, though.
159
We went out for a meal,
160
and the owner let us have it on the house.
161
How come?
162
Do you know the owner?
163
Yes, I do.
164
I once did a favor for him.
165
Hey, I have an idea.
166
There is a new hair salon at the next bus station.
167
How about going there right now?
168
I would love that.
169
Let's just go with the flow of things and stop worrying and everything will work itself out.
170
Hey Claudia, have you heard about Sylvia?
171
She was robbed in broad daylight in the mall yesterday.
172
Really?
173
I had no idea.
174
Is she okay?
175
Yes, but it was a scary experience for her,
176
especially because the robber has not been arrested yet.
177
That's awful.
178
What did the robber steal from her?
179
He stole her purse with the company credit card and checkbook,
180
her driver's license and her keys.
181
Things have really hit rock bottom here if people are attacked and robbed in public places.
182
The city spent a small fortune on surveillance cameras.
183
They are everywhere, but nobody ever gets caught.
184
Well, even if they do get caught,
185
they get away with it.
186
They just tell barefaced lies and walk away free,
187
or get fined a mere appearance.
188
That's outrageous!
189
I think anyone who robs someone should go to prison, full stop.
190
I couldn't agree more.
191
Hey Mia!
192
It's me, Alex!
193
It's great to see you again!
194
Wow, Alex, what a pleasant surprise.
195
Gosh, it's ten years since we were at school together.
196
Yeah, it's unbelievable how time flies.
197
Have you heard anything of James?
198
No, I haven't heard a thing.
199
And I often wonder what Cecilia ended up doing.
200
I've lost touch with her, too.
201
I wonder what became of our English teacher.
202
I think her name, if I recall, was Mrs. Adams.
203
She was my favorite teacher.
204
I never liked her.
205
She was always on my back about my homework.
206
She still gave me decent grades, though.
207
Thinking back, we had some great times, didn't we?
208
Yeah.
209
Do you remember how we used to text under our desks,
210
right under the teacher's nose?
211
Yeah, that takes me back to the day my phone rang
212
when a school inspector was observing our class and I got into big trouble.
213
Yes, I have a vague memory of that.
214
Actually, it's all coming back to me now.
215
They confiscated your phone for over two weeks and you were so upset.
216
Yeah, but I must say that what stands out in my mind is the amazing freedom we used to have.
217
When I look back, I realize how different things are now.
218
I think school is much more difficult now compared to ten years ago.
219
It requires much more work.
220
Indeed, it's much more complex today,
221
but at the same time, more interesting and fun.

練習のコツ
この動画のスピードやトーンに合わせたシャドーイングを行うことで、英語スピーキング練習の効果を高めることができます。話し手のリズムやイントネーションを真似することが重要です。まずは、ゆっくりとフレーズを繰り返し、一文ずつ練習してみましょう。その後、少しずつスピードを上げて話すことで、流暢さが増し、自然な発音を身につけることができます。また、YouTubeで英語学習を行う際は、発音が特に大切なので、自分の声を録音して確認するのも効果的です。
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。
