29
and Singlets party and got dropped off by a mate up the road and started to walk down the survey,

36
Pretty concerned about my blowout I had and looked up and yeah, looked up
37
and saw a white I saw a white Commodore pull up two blokes with shirts around their faces
38
and sort of thought something was a bit sus so better go and check it out.
39
And what did you see next?
40
Grabbed the keys out of the ignition while they were inside the Oportos and yeah, it just unfolded from there.
41
There was no plan, it was just go with it and set it up.
42
Hey brother, you had your shirt off at the time too, which means that you were in full in front of that.
43
Was there a time that it occurred to you that your life might be in great peril?
44
When I first jumped in the car I sort of took a step back thinking, oh shit has this blake got a knife?
45
Yeah.
46
And then I saw he had his hands empty
47
and he was just trying to cover his face so I jumped back in and yeah, just went from there.
48
You look like you got reasonable guns, you've been working out in the gym, you look reasonable buddy.
49

50
I've been to the gym in years.
51
The only gym I go to is Gym Beam.
52
That's about it.
53

54
I've got to ask, I understand you're married.
55
What did your wife make of all this when you got home and told her what had happened?
56
I'm not actually married as yet.
57
That was my manager that hacked my Facebook when I was getting married.
58
But, yeah, she was more concerned that I broke the brand new pair of pluggers that she bought me on Thursday night.
59
Yeah, of course.
60
So did you actually get to see these guys when they came out?
61
What was their reaction?
62
Only just briefly.
63
Yeah, only briefly.
64
Briefly, just got to see sort of just the top half of their faces and saw the passengers.
65
I got a good look at him.
66
Yeah.
67
And, yeah, so, yeah, they got away pretty quickly.
68
Once they realised their keys were gone, they weren't hanging around for very long.
69
No. They were gone.
70

71
You're like the Robin to the Batman.
72
The Robin, yeah.
73

74
He is short and fast.
75
I was the one thinking about getting stabbed.
76
Because you were filming so they would go for you first.

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。
