1
Hey there.
2
This is my story of growing up rich and losing it all.
3
When I was a little kid, life was easy.
4
We had two mates and they bought me whatever toy I wanted.
5
So I never had to wait for my birthday or Christmas.
6
I also went to an expensive school,
7
but I never did any homework because my dad hired a tutor who did all the work for me.
8
Yeah, okay, I was spoiled.
9
But I was an only child and my parents had the money,
10
so why wouldn't they spend it on me, right?
11
Well, today, I wish my parents had been stricter.
12
Maybe then I would have been prepared for what happened next.
13
You see, my dad had made lots of money from his own company.
14
He had built it up from nothing and became a millionaire.
15
But then something went wrong and the government shut his whole company down.
16
We lost everything and had to move out of our beautiful home and into a small apartment.
17
Luckily, we weren't homeless, but still,
18
life became very hard overnight.
19
While my parents were struggling to find jobs,
20
I was struggling with the most basic things,
21
like getting myself ready for school.
22
No one was helping me.
23
And when my mom told me to take the school bus,
24
I freaked out and screamed at her that she should drive me to school.
25
But my mom was so stressed that she yelled at me,
26
shut up and stop annoying me.
27
I was shocked and even more angry because no one had ever talked to me like that before.
28
After a few weeks, I switched from my private school to a public school,
29
and things were very different.
30
The food tasted horrible, and most of the teachers couldn't remember my name.
31
I also got some pretty bad grades and instead of helping me,
32
my parents just called me lazy.
33
That's when I realized that I had to learn to depend on myself.
34
Even though those were the toughest years of my life,
35
I'm grateful for the experience now.
36
And luckily, things got easier after my dad had a promotion at work.
37
My mom stopped cleaning houses and I got a new tutor.
38
Her name was Isabelle and she always made sure I did my homework.
39
And when I started doing my own homework,
40
I discovered that I loved math and that I'm really good at it.
41
You can't imagine how excited I was to show my dad my A- math exam.
42
He said that he had never been more proud of me and hung it right onto the refrigerator.
43
Recently, I met up with some of my old friends from before and I realized how spoiled they were.
44
One of them complained how her father refused to buy her a new designer bag,
45
even though she already had so many of them.
46
To me, it seemed ridiculous to complain about something so unimportant and stupid,
47
but maybe I would have been just like her if my parents hadn't lost it all.
48
Now I'm at college studying engineering while also working at a clothing store five days a week to help pay my tuition.
49
I'm always tired, but I don't want to complain because I know that many people have it much, much harder.
50
It sounds strange, but I'm kind of glad my parents went broke.
51
It forced me to work hard,
52
overcome challenges, and appreciate what I have.
53
I'm a useful person now,
54
and not just some entitled leech.

練習のヒント

このビデオのスピードとトーンに合わせて英語シャドーイングを行うことが、スピーキングスキルを向上させるための効果的な方法です。まず、短いフレーズを選び、話者の声を注意深く聞きます。shadow speechの練習をするときは、話者の感情や強調に意識を向け、自分の声で繰り返します。例えば、「私は特に数学が好きだ」といったフレーズを声に出して練習することで、発音やリズムを自然に身につけることができるでしょう。また、練習を繰り返すことで、自信を持つことができ、英語スピーキング練習においても効果が期待できます。自分に合ったペースで進め、何度も繰り返すことで、より流暢に話せるようになります。あなたも一緒に英語を楽しみながら、shadowspeaksな体験を重ねていきましょう。

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。
