1
Let's update you on what's happening in California with the fires.
2
Strong winds are still forecast to return to LA,
3
threatening to undermine the progress made against the wildfires.
4
Forecasters are expecting gusts of more than 70 miles per hour.
5
That's about the same force as a Category 1 hurricane.
6
These are the same type of Santa Ana winds that caused the initial spread of the blazes last week.
7
Three major fires are still burning.
8
You can see them here.
9
The biggest one, the Palisades,
10
has consumed more than 23,000 acres and is still only 14% contained.
11
Let's bring you more with the BBC's Will Grant, who is there.
12
As the wildfires in Los Angeles enter their second week,
13
they keep burning and the stories of destroyed lives stack up.
14
Amid the ruins of his block,
15
Michael Soto was incredibly fortunate.
16
His home survived while his neighbours were left with nothing.
17
Now he stands guard to protect what he still has from looters patrolling a devastated neighborhood.
18
I moved to this area for my kids to have a better upbringing for them
19
and for them to have a better future.
20
It was a beautiful community.
21
It was mixed.
22
It was nice.
23
Everyone looked at each other, waved and all that.
24
It was just nice.
25
I wanted my kids to have a better future for themselves.
26
But yeah, it looks like we're going to have to start all over again and rebuild, become stronger.
27
The affluent suburb of Brentwood has so far avoided being razed to the ground with the same destructive force.
28
But with the Santa Ana winds still a major factor,
29
the residents aren't out of the woods yet.
30
As the blaze swept through here,
31
the crews faced a huge task in trying to contain it.
32
The aim now is to protect these vulnerable homes and communities that lie below the line,
33
in essence to make sure there are no smouldering embers that could kick up into the winds and spark fresh fires.
34
Meanwhile, help has arrived from across the border.
35
Dozens of Mexican firefighters are in LA to help contain the fires
36
and carry out the grim task of search and recovery of the victims.
37
As neighbors, Mexico and California haven't always had the smoothest of relationships.
38
But like all good friends,
39
they simply turn up in the hour of greatest need.
40
Historically, Mexico has been a government and people of great solidarity.
41
This is a moment to build closer ties and to show that no border can separate us.
42
When it comes to humanitarian assistance,
43
there are no borders, and we are prepared to stay for as long as we're needed to help the American people.
44
With nine people charged over looting,
45
there's real nervousness among evacuated homeowners.
46
So much so, the National Guard has now been deployed,
47
setting up a command center on the beachfront.
48
This has been the toughest week which many in Los Angeles can remember.
49
The scenes of destruction nothing short of apocalyptic.
50
And even once the blazes are finally all contained,
51
then the long and painful journey to rebuild begins.

練習のコツ
この動画の速さやトーンに合わせて、英語シャドーイングを行うことが非常に効果的です。まずは、5〜10秒のフレーズに分けて聞き、その後に続けて声に出すことで、発音やリズムを自然と身に付けることができます。shadow speechを行う際は、自分の声を録音して、発音やイントネーションの確認をすると良いでしょう。また、ニュースの内容が重いため、感情を込めて話すことでスピーキングスキルを向上させることができます。shadowspeakを活用することで、表現力が豊かになり、自信を持って話す力を養うことができます。練習を繰り返すことで、より流暢な英語を話せるようになるでしょう。
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。
