Hi, my name is Sasha,
2
and I'm a popular singer with the wealthiest parents in town.

Selling out concerts weekly and dealing with fans around the world might sound fun,
5
but you know what's even cooler?
6
Partying.
7
All night long.
8
In the middle of my show,
9
I escaped with my boyfriend Theo to go to the biggest island party ever.
10
But when he pulled over to a helicopter pad,
11
my excitement turned to panic.
12
I thought we were gonna use a yacht.
13
You know I have a phobia of heights, right?
14
It's a five-minute ride.
15
You're just being melodramatic.
16
Get over it.
17
Get over it?
18
Enjoy the party without this drama queen, then.
19
Babe, come on.
20
I didn't mean it.
21
I'm sorry.
22
I just ignored him and stormed off.
23
As I walked back to the city,
24
I noticed a person in a hooded jacket following me.
25
I grabbed my stiletto and yelled at him.
26
Why are you hiding, dude?
27
Are you scared?
28
Don't worry.
29
I don't bite.
30
To my surprise, he just threw a magazine at me and ran away.
31
What the chocolate fudge?
32
I picked it up and realized that it was my magazine,
33
with a death threat drawn all over my face.
34
Unfortunately for him, I was fearless.
35
The threats kept coming over the weekend.
36
My parents had always wanted to hire a bodyguard for me,
37
but I didn't want some boring old guy to keep following me around.
38
But this time, they wouldn't take no for an answer.
39
When I finally saw my bodyguard, I almost passed out.
40
He was the most exquisite specimen of a man I had ever seen.
41
And he looked just a few years older than me.
42
Hey, handsome.
43
Are you sure you're a bodyguard and not my next boyfriend?
44
To my surprise, he didn't smile a bit.
45
Rude.
46
You look too young for this job.
47
How can I trust you?
48
Suddenly, a ball from our neighbor came hurling right at me.
49
And he instantly caught it with one hand.
50
Trust me, I'm really good at my job.
51
You can check my records.
52
Your father has everything you need.
53
Yeah, okay, whatever.
54
Let's go.
55
He opened the car door for me,
56
and as I slipped in,
57
I accidentally brushed my shoulder on his chest,
58
and oh my, it felt harder than a rock.
59
When we arrived at school,
60
Theo didn't look so happy to see me with my young bodyguard.
61
He pulled me aside and said,
62
Look, babe, I know I insulted you the other night,
63
but getting back at me by flirting with another guy?
64
How could you?
65
He's my freaking bodyguard.
66
I'm still mad at you for what you did,
67
and now you're accusing me of cheating?
68
Suddenly, Damon stepped in.
69
Is there a problem here?
70
Stay out of this, man.
71
Theo tried to push him aside,
72
but Damon pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.
73
What the heck are you doing?
74
Let go of me, idiot.
75
Hey, stop it.
76
Damon finally released my boyfriend after a minute.
77
As expected, Theo went psycho.
78
I immediately blocked him before he got his butt kicked by Damon.
79
That's enough, Theo.
80
He's just doing his job.
81
Why do you need a bodyguard when you have me?
82
I'm your boyfriend.
83
I'll protect you.
84
A small spider suddenly landed on his shoulder,
85
and he ran screaming, Protect my butt.
86
As I walked down the hall with Damon,
87
girls were literally drooling all over him.
88
He looks more like a model than a bodyguard.
89
He can be the father of my children.
90
He's way more attractive than Theo.
91
I really want to feel his biceps.
92
These girls sounded so desperate, but they were right.
93
When I reached our classroom,
94
my best friend Tessa came up to me with my favorite coffee.
95
Hey girl, so I brought you your...
96
Damon suddenly snatched it and started sniffing it.
97
He then took a sip and waited for a few seconds before saying, Clear.
98
As he gave it back to me,
99
Tessa was glaring at him.
100
Excuse me, did you really think that I'll poison my best friend?
101
Just doing my job.
102
Tessa then dragged me to a corner.
103
So you're giving up your privacy just like that?
104
I can see that he's very attractive,
105
but something about him screams bad news.
106
He even sounds like a demon.
107
You have to get rid of him ASAP.
108
Oh, come on, girl.
109
It's just his first day.
110
Let's see.
111
But Tessa was right.
112
I didn't have a second of privacy.
113
Damon followed me around every freaking second.
114
He stood behind me in all of my classes and even in restrooms.
115
It was so awkward.
116
At home, he'd just stand outside my door,
117
and I never saw him sleep.
118
And worse, he had this permanent ice-cold expression on his face that gave me chills.
119
I had a recording event one night,
120
and when I reached the studio,
121
a guy came rushing toward me.
122
He was about to draw out something from his back pocket,
123
when suddenly, Damon grabbed his arm and twisted it.
124
Drop your weapon.
125
What?
126
I just wanted an autograph from her, man.
127
Damon let go of the poor guy,
128
and it was so embarrassing.
129
What's the matter with you?
130
I'm a popular singer, so you have to get used to my fans.
131
Just doing my job.
132
Calm down, Sasha.
133
Calm down.
134
The next day at school,
135
Theo kept following me around to apologize,
136
but I still ignored him until he said,
137
My producer cousin is throwing an exclusive yacht party with some A-listers this weekend.
138
She's a fan of yours,
139
and she'd be ecstatic if you came.
140
He had my attention now.
141
Parties were my weakness.
142
Not so fast, sweetheart.
143
Hang out with me tomorrow?
144
Okay, fine.
145
Theo requested not to bring Damon to our date tomorrow,
146
so I talked to him in private it.
147
My job is not to leave your side for a minute.
148
So sorry, can't do.
149
He was so firm about this,
150
so I finally gave up and let him come with us.
151
We went to a private movie theater and watched a super sad movie together.
152
Minutes into the movie, Theo and I were already crying our hearts out,
153
while Damon had no reaction.
154
At all.
155
What was he, a robot?
156
After the movie, we went to a fancy restaurant and I was having a good time with the lobster.
157
Until Theo started forcing himself on me.
158
Just one kiss, babe.
159
Come on.
160
Not now, Theo.
161
We're in a public place and people are staring.
162
But he was persistent.
163
Just then, Damon grabbed him and threw him away like a piece of paper.
164
Theo was furious.
165
He grabbed a chair, but before he could hit Damon with it,
166
I pushed him away.
167
Stop it!
168
Right now!
169
Your stupid bodyguard started it.
170
Why don't you tell him to get a life and go home to his mommy?
171
No, Theo.
172
You go home.
173
I immediately called him a cab,
174
and when he was finally gone,
175
I turned to Damon angrily.
176
I know he was being a jerk,
177
but I can handle my personal life.
178
You don't have to interfere every freaking second.
179
He was disrespecting your personal space.
180
Your job is to keep me safe,
181
not to meddle in my personal matters.
182
Know your boundaries.
183
Apologies.
184
It will never happen again.
185
I actually didn't mind that Theo got the thrashing he deserved,
186
but Damon always being around was just getting on my nerves.
187
A few days later at a concert,
188
I was performing my newest single and everyone was singing along with me.
189
It felt amazing.
190
Some of them even started climbing up on the stage to join me.
191
Suddenly, Damon jumped in and pushed them off stage.
192
What in the world?
193
He then lifted me and carried me to the backstage,
194
in the middle of my freaking performance.
195
I finally had enough.
196
My parents are paying you to protect me,
197
not to annoy me and screw up my concerts.
198
Your life is in danger, ma'am.
199
You have to treat everyone as an enemy.
200
That is ridiculous.
201
Whoever sends those stupid threats is probably just some harmless loser.
202
Better to be safe than sorry.
203
I complained to my parents about his behavior,
204
but they praised him for it.
205
But he's ruining my career and even my personal life.
206
He's just doing his job,
207
honey, and that's to make sure you're safe all the time.
208
They were hopeless cases, so I resorted to Tessa instead,
209
and she came up with a plan.
210
Test his patience.
211
Annoy him.
212
Do everything you can to make him quit.
213
You're good at that, you gorgeous brat.
214
I love the sound of it, girl.
215
You're the best.
216
Of course I am.
217
I stayed up at 4 a.m that night to disturb Damon in the sleep,
218
but to my surprise, He was already up.
219
I need you to get my favorite Starbucks coffee.
220
That's not part of my job description.
221
Do it, or I'll make your job harder.
222
Fine.
223
What's your order?
224
One iced venti caramel macchiato with six shots of mocha,
225
one quarter not fat milk,
226
one eighth almond milk with medium whipped cream,
227
and a caramel drizzle with a rose design on top,
228
and a biodegradable takeaway cup with a pink straw.
229
Got it.
230
What?
231
I was just messing with him,
232
but to my surprise, he immediately left,
233
and holy mother of toads,
234
He came back with my exact order.
235
How?
236
Anything else?
237
That's all for now.
238
Later that day, I went to the mall and went on a crazy shopping spree,
239
making him carry all my bags to tire him out.
240
But he was like a machine.
241
I entered a clothing store,
242
and as I tried on all the prettiest clothes,
243
I kept asking for his opinion,
244
but he wasn't paying attention.
245
Hello?
246
Aren't you gonna give me a compliment or something?
247
Giving an opinion about your outfits is not part of my job, ma'am.
248
Any normal guy would have been drooling at me by now.
249
He must be a cyborg.
250
To get back at him,
251
I faked a sprain and forced him to carry me on his back,
252
but he was still as strong as a freaking tank.
253
Finally giving up, I went to the bathroom with everything I'd bought and escaped through the window.
254
After making sure that I'd lost him,
255
I went to an orphanage and gave out all the clothes to the kids.
256
While I was having fun with them,
257
Tessa sent me some pictures of Theo kissing a blonde girl in a restaurant.
258
At this point, I didn't even care.
259
Theo was trash.
260
I immediately sent him a message and told him that we were done.
261
He was the worst boyfriend anyway.
262
He started calling me immediately,
263
so I just blocked him.
264
Problem solved.
265
Later, I went to a local club to celebrate my breakup.
266
And while I was dancing my heart out,
267
I was shocked to see someone watching me from the bar.
268
Damon!
269
Of course he tracked me down.
270
A cute guy tried to dance with me,
271
and suddenly, Damon came and pushed him away.
272
Hey, listen, buddy.
273
I'm sick of this.
274
If you're gonna keep scaring all the other guys away,
275
you dance with me.
276
I don't mix business with pleasure.
277
Dance with me, or go sit quietly in a corner while I find someone.
278
Before I could poke the guy next to me,
279
Damon suddenly grabbed my hand to dance.
280
Just then, the song shifted to a slow,
281
romantic one, and he pulled me in closer by the waist.
282
It's not so bad, is it?
283
If you say so, ma'am.
284
You can say my name, you know.
285
If you say so, Sasha.
286
He had the faintest smile on his face,
287
and my heart skipped a beat.
288
We slow danced as he looked deep into my eyes,
289
and suddenly, his face was so close to mine.
290
Just then, he pulled away from me,
291
like he'd had an electric shock.
292
We need to go home.
293
But it's still early.
294
Safety reasons.
295
Ugh, he was so annoying.
296
When we got home, I saw a box sitting on my bed.
297
And when I opened it,
298
lots of rats jumped out and started running all over the room.
299
Damon saw a little note inside.
300
And for the first time ever, it scared me.
301
For real.
302
Someone broke into your room.
303
This person means business.
304
We have to be more careful, ma'am.
305
He suggested that I shouldn't go to school for the next few days for safety.
306
And I agreed.
307
One night, my manager called and reminded me of my concert in Paris the next day.
308
It was my biggest one yet,
309
and I had to go.
310
I don't think you should be making public appearances till we find out who's trying to hurt you.
311
No, I'm not gonna let some creep scare me and make me decide what I should do.
312
This was planned in advance,
313
and all the tickets are sold, and I'm not cancelling.
314
Damon was forced to allow me, but on one condition.
315
We had to share a hotel room so he could keep a constant eye on me.
316
When we were finally in Paris,
317
I rehearsed my songs all night while he was constantly looking out the window.
318
The next morning, I found him still asleep on the couch when something on the floor caught my attention.
319
A picture of a beautiful girl in his wallet.
320
She looked around my age.
321
I quickly put the wallet away, feeling something weird.
322
Was I jealous?
323
No, of course not.
324
Why would I care if he had a girlfriend?
325
Hours before the concert, while my makeup team was working on me,
326
Damon suddenly snatched me away.
327
Can't you just postpone this?
328
It's too dangerous.
329
I told you, I can't.
330
Please, Sasha, just listen to me.
331
I care about you, you know?
332
Oh, do you?
333
I thought I was your only client.
334
Just do your job, which is to keep me alive,
335
and let me do my job,
336
which is to entertain people.
337
And actually, I prefer it when you call me ma'am.
338
You got me?
339
Loud and clear, ma'am.
340
During my concert, I tried not to think of Damon and the death threats,
341
and it was going so well.
342
In the middle of my performance,
343
I saw Damon in the crowd,
344
and he was smiling at me.
345
He looked so lovely.
346
No, snap out of it, Sasha.
347
He has a girlfriend.
348
While I was singing my fourth song,
349
I suddenly spotted a hooded figure in the crowd,
350
and he was aiming something at me.
351
No, no, no. I froze in panic,
352
but just then a strong pair of arms grabbed me and carried me off the stage,
353
and I looked up to see Damon's tense face.
354
Stay here.
355
Don't move.
356
He returned a few minutes later,
357
saying he'd lost the hooded figure.
358
I was still shaking in fear,
359
and he gently picked me up and we returned to the hotel.
360
He tucked me into bed and sat on a chair close by.
361
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep,
362
feeling safe as he watched over me.
363
Sometime later, I felt him fixing my blanket and gently caressing my cheek as he left.
364
Why did he do that?
365
And why was it giving me a heart attack?
366
When I woke up the next morning,
367
I peeked into the kitchen and smiled when I saw him dancing while cooking our breakfast.
368
It was the first time I saw him looking so...human.
369
I felt shy when he turned to me.
370
I didn't have any makeup on.
371
That's the first time I've seen you without makeup.
372
And you look even more beautiful than usual.
373
Is complimenting me part of your job now?
374
Maybe.
375
I knew it.
376
No one can ever resist my charms.
377
Not even my emotionless bodyguard.
378
I wonder what your girlfriend would say about this.
379
I assume you're talking about the picture of the girl in my wallet.
380
Gosh, was he actually awake that time?
381
He revealed that it was his sister,
382
and they grew up in the orphanage together.
383
He lost her because he'd failed to protect her,
384
and that's why he became a bodyguard.
385
She'd always wanted to go to Paris and go up the Eiffel Tower.
386
I suddenly felt brave.
387
Let's go there then, for her.
388
After what happened yesterday, there's no way I'm allowing you to go anywhere.
389
Also, I know from your file that you're afraid of heights.
390
I'm not scared when I have you around.
391
I'll be fine, I promise.
392
He finally agreed.
393
But later as we were climbing onto the escalator at the Eiffel Tower,
394
he must have noticed I was nervous.
395
Are you sure about this?
396
We can just go back, you know.
397
No, I can do this.
398
When we reached the top,
399
I squealed and covered my eyes.
400
You made it to the top.
401
You have to see this view now.
402
I...
403
I don't know if I can.
404
How about you take a look and we'll go down?
405
But I don't want you to miss this, Sasha.
406
I've got you.
407
Do you trust me?
408
Yes.
409
Yes, I do.
410
Okay then, open your eyes when I say so.
411
I kept my eyes shut as he led me forward,
412
and then suddenly, I felt his arms wrap around my waist.
413
Now.
414
I opened my eyes, and I gasped.
415
I was so close to the edge,
416
and the whole glittering city was in front of me,
417
and I'd never felt safer in my life.
418
Damon?
419
Yes?
420
Have you ever fallen for a client?
421
My smile instantly faded at his answer.
422
No, it would never happen.
423
I can't do my job well if I'm emotionally involved.
424
So it was just me he was feeling this.
425
He was just being nice to his client.
426
After a week, I had to go back to school for the final exams.
427
I looked for Tessa so we could study together in the library,
428
but I couldn't find her.
429
I sat down to study alone and let Damon stand by the door so I could focus.
430
Minutes later, he barged in and yelled, Sasha, look out.
431
To my horror, the huge bookshelf behind me began to fall on me.
432
But Damon leapt forward and pushed me out of harm's way,
433
and it fell on him.
434
He was in the hospital for a week,
435
and despite my parents' protests that I needed to stay safe at home,
436
I insisted on visiting him every day.
437
One day, while I was in the waiting area,
438
Tessa came to see me with my favorite coffee.
439
But before I could take a sip,
440
a hand suddenly slapped the cup away.
441
We turned to see Damon and a cop beside him,
442
who suddenly put handcuffs on Tessa.
443
What are you doing, you moron?
444
Damon, what's happening?
445
Suddenly, he revealed something that blew my mind.
446
Tessa was the one who'd pushed the bookshelf on me.
447
I'd been keeping an eye on her and studying her.
448
That day, I saw her enter the library from the back door,
449
and I knew she was up to no good.
450
I'm sure your coffee is poisoned, too.
451
My best friend was trying to hurt me?
452
Tessa, why?
453
And suddenly, Tessa turned into a monster because I hate you.
454
You have everything I've ever wanted.
455
Beauty, talent, fame, wealth, Theo.
456
Life is so unfair.
457
I would have gotten rid of you already if your stupid bodyguard wasn't such a pain.
458
She screamed as the cop dragged her away,
459
and I was left speechless.
460
Damon then pulled me into a hug.
461
Are you okay?
462
I'll be fine.
463
How are you?
464
I'm okay, but I can't be your bodyguard anymore, Sasha.
465
I just can't fight my feelings for you anymore, and it's wrong.
466
If I fire you right now,
467
will you be my boyfriend instead?
468
Without a word, he grabbed my face and finally kissed me on the lips.
469
I took that as a yes.

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際には、まずはゆっくりとしたペースから始めましょう。Sashaのように感情を込めて話すことが大切です。最初はセリフを一文ずつ繰り返すことで、リズムとイントネーションをつかんでください。shadow speechのテクニックを使いながら、台詞の中の感情を感じることで、発音や言葉の使い方が自然になります。また、何度も繰り返すことで、スピードが速くなっても対応できるようになります。特に、彼女の緊張や興奮を伝える部分に注意を払い、声のトーンを調整してみてください。これにより、より魅力的で効果的な会話スキルを身につけることができます。shadow speakを通じて、リスニング力も同時に強化されることでしょう。
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。
