me ma'am, but I think you're in my seat.

Oh, sorry about that.

Hey, Janice.

What a surprise.

It's me, Matt.
7
We were classmates in high school.
8
Matt, fancy meeting you here.

Long time no see.

Yeah, it's been ages.
11
I haven't seen you since graduation.
12
You look very different now.
13
I almost didn't recognize you.
14
No wonder.
15
For starters, I used to have braces in high school,
16
so when I smiled, you would see metal over my teeth.
17
I hated that.
18
I had really bad acne.
19
I had pimples all over my face.
20
It wasn't that bad.
21
Don't be so hard on yourself.
22
And I was pretty plump.
23
I've lost a lot of weight since then.
24
I'm into sports now.
25
I wish I had been more involved in the sports clubs in high school.
26
I didn't have the motivation to put my heart into any sport.
27
But you haven't changed a bit since high school.
28
You look the same, but better.
29
That's nice of you to say.
30
We had some fun times in high school.
31
We did many foolish things.
32
That's true.
33
I'm with you on that.
34
Remember Mrs. Nesbitt's chemistry class when I had that funny accident?
35
You mean that explosion when you blew up your project?
36
Exactly.
37
I really screwed up.
38
Well, these things happen.
39
Luckily, no one got hurt.
40
You didn't show up at our 10-year high school reunion,
41
so I haven't heard from you since graduation.
42
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to the reunion.
43
It's so nice that you could catch up with all our classmates.
44
Yeah, actually, I have kept in touch with some of them over the years.
45
Did you hear that Tom won one million dollars at the lottery?
46
And lost all the money in two years?
47
No way.
48
You've got to be kidding me.
49
How could that happen?
50
I don't know.
51
Beats me.
52
And did you know that Rob got married with Lindsay?
53
That figures.
54
They've been in love with each other since 10th grade.
55
Do they have any children?
56
Not that I know of.
57
Do you still live in San Antonio?

No, I moved to Houston eight years ago.
59
What about you?
60
Yes, I still live there.
61
So what have you been up to these past 12 years?
62
Well, I got a degree in finance.
63
While in college, I met my husband, Nick.
64
After we met, it was a whirlwind romance.
65
We got married about a year after I graduated.
66
We have two children now, Elizabeth and Danny.
67
Really?
68
That's great to hear.
69
How old are they?
70
Elizabeth is three and Danny is five.
71
And where do you work?
72
After I graduated, I started working at a local bank,
73
but all along I knew finance was not my thing.
74
I had always been into fashion and clothing,
75
but my parents discouraged me to pursue this career.
76
So I finally made up my mind to go for it.
77
I quit my job and started doing tailoring from home.
78
Then I rented a place and opened a tailor shop.
79
I started from scratch and built it beautifully, nicely.
80
Now I am about to open a boutique with my own creations.
81
You rock!
82
I'm really happy for you.
83
I think it takes a lot of guts to start such a business.
84
It has been a lot of work,
85
but it's been worth it.
86
I couldn't ask for more.
87
It goes to show that it's never too late to change careers and pursue your passion.
88
I couldn't agree more.
89
How about you?
90
What have you been up to all these years?
91
Well, I studied film and got my degree in cinematography.
92
But filmmaking isn't all it's cracked up to be.
93
I couldn't earn a living from the films I was making.
94
That sounds tough.
95
Tell me about it.
96
I had to work all kinds of jobs for a while just to make ends meet.
97
I painted people's houses and I did some lawn maintenance.
98
Then I worked as a photographer for a few years.
99
I have been working on a film lately,
100
but I don't know if it's going to be successful.
101
Just hang in there.
102
The road to success is not easy.
103
Hard work and patience always pay off big time.
104
I hope you get the big break you need.
105
Just keep going and hopefully you'll make it in the film industry.
106
Even if that doesn't happen,
107
I can live with that.
108
It won't be the end of the world if I don't make it.
109
I'll do photography again.
110
That's life.
111
You win some, you lose some.
112
I can't argue with that.
113
I may not have the perfect career,
114
but I have a wonderful family.
115
I am a happy married man with three kids.
116
Lucky you!
117
I couldn't be happier for you!
118
Sounds like we've both been busy.
119
Yeah, time has flown by.

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。
