1
Scattered across all seven seas are the islands and archipelagos that make up the 14 UK overseas territories.
2
One of the most remote of all lies 2,500 kilometres west of Cape Town in the centre of the South Atlantic.
3
The only way to get there is by boat,
4
across some of the roughest waters on the planet.
5
We're now about five miles from Tristandakuna.
6
Any minute now, hopefully, it's going to appear through that mist.
7
So 18 days of sailing out of Cape Town is about to come to an end.
8
Well, after three weeks at sea, we finally made it.
9
I had my doubts at a few points, but here we are.
10
Welcome to the most remote inhabited island in the world.
11
It definitely feels like I'm a long way from anywhere.
12
Tristan is the tip of a volcano thrust up from the ocean floor over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
13
It rises to over 2,000 meters above sea level.
14
It might look inhospitable, but far from it.
15
There is a village here,
16
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas,
17
with all the comforts of life.
18
Just 270 people live here.
19
But what is life really like here,
20
in the world's most remote village?
21
The best way to find out is to ask someone who has lived here his whole life.
22
Harold Green.
23
Good morning.
24
Good morning.
25
Nice to see you.
26
Thank you.
27
Is it very good to see you?
28
Yeah, sure.
29
You're welcome.
30
Thank you very much.
31
Thanks.
32
And what's it like living in such a small community?
33
Well, it's a nice life, we are.
34
Everyone on the Harlem, we call them brothers and sisters.
35
We hack as a big family.
36
We share and share alike.
37
If they kill a hoxon,
38
they always realize that they give everybody some piece of beef or mutton or fish, fish, anything.
39
And if anyone get in trouble say a roof,
40
go for a house or they are there to help you.
41
The minister is there for the help.
42
And you can let the children go anywhere around us.
43
Anywhere, I mean anywhere.
44
Well we don't bolt a door or lock a door.
45
We can go to west where the tater patches us.
46
We leave our windows open on Friday's,
47
we leave our doors open.
48
There's no locks at all.
49
Harold mentioned potato patches.
50
That's about a mile down the road.
51
The only road.
52
And of course, there's a bus.
53
The potato patches are the island's farm.
54
Every family owns several fields to grow potatoes and other vegetables.
55
But, as Harold pointed out,
56
this is really one big family,
57
and everyone helps out when there's work to be done.
58
The islanders also keep cows,
59
sheep, ducks and chickens, but numbers of livestock have are strictly controlled to prevent overgrazing of the island's limited pasture.
60
It really feels like a beautiful old fishing and farming village.
61
Obviously a working village.
62
And really it seems to me
63
that it could just be a piece of England cut out and thrown down in the middle of the South Atlantic.
64
Except, of course, for the volcano.
65
And that volcano is still active.
66
It erupted in 1961 and came close to destroying the village.
67
Lava flowed out onto the coastal plain and climbing above it shows how close it came to Edinburgh before it stopped.
68
Just a few tens of metres.
69
It was a terrifying experience for the islanders.
70
Do you also remember the volcano erupting?
71
Yes, it erupts in October.
72
And what was it like during the eruption,
73
when the volcano was erupting just down the road?
74
And you saw like a 20-day beat shake like that, at any rate.
75
And it shake so much,
76
it start the volcano start to open.
77
There was nowhere to retreat to on the island.
78
The only solution was to evacuate the islanders to safety.
79
We went to Cape Town first and then on the Starring Castle,
80
we went back to England and they took us to the coaches.
81
First time we ride in a coach or a car,
82
no matter what, we only ride in donkeys or trust in them.
83
So what was your time like while you were in England,
84
while the volcano erupted?
85
The British people, I will say once and I'll say again,
86
you wouldn't wish for better people to live with.
87
Not I sent myself, any islander can say the same thing I'm saying.
88
What made you come back to Tristan?
89
We stayed 18 months.
90
We just want to come back to Tristan again.
91
And so what also made you want to come back to Tristan?
92
Well, Tristan is so special to me.
93
It's so calm.
94
It's peaceful.
95
It's so quiet.
96
But I don't like the noise,
97
a lot of noise, you know.
98
I just like to call it this and that it's so quiet and interesting sometimes you can hear the grass.
99
to every secondary school across the UK and her overseas territories.
100
Thanks also to all Kickstarter backers and all sponsors and partners for making the 40 Mini documentaries possible.
101
Thank you.

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。
