1
Lily, have you seen my phone?
2
I am cooking right now.
3
Why are you asking me?
4
Because I cannot find it anywhere.
5
You always lose your things.
6
I checked the bedroom and living room.
7
Then check your brain, too.
8
Very funny.
9
I am serious.
10
I am serious too.
11
You never keep things properly.
12
Maybe I left it here in the kitchen.
13
This is a kitchen, not your phone shop.
14
Please help me.
15
I really need it.
16
I am cutting vegetables.
17
Can't you see?
18
I can see, but I need my phone. And I need peace.
19
Why are you angry today?
20
Because you always disturb me while I cook.
21
I only asked one question.
22
One question becomes ten questions.
23
I am not doing anything wrong.
24
Really, yesterday you forgot your wallet.
25
That was only one time.
26
No, that was one of many times.
27
Okay, okay, don't get angry.
28
Then stop asking me every second.
29
Maybe my phone is on the table.
30
Then go and look there.
31
I already checked.
32
Then check again.
33
Why are you talking like this? Because I am busy.
34
You don't have to be rude.
35
And you don't have to lose your phone every week.
36
I only need a little help.
37
Help yourself first.
38
Fine.
39
I will search alone.
40
Good idea.
41
Wait.
42
Maybe I left it in the car.
43
Then go to the car.
44
It is too hot outside.
45
You are not helping me at all.
46
I am helping this food, not you.
47
Wow, that hurts.
48
I don't have time for drama.
49
Actually, I wanted to ask something else.
50
What now?
51
I was thinking maybe we can go shopping today.
52
Shopping?
53
Really?
54
Yes, you said you wanted new dresses.
55
Really?
56
You remember that? Of course.
57
I listened to you.
58
Oh, my God, you're so sweet.
59
We can go after lunch. That sounds nice.
60
I will be ready.
61
So, are you still angry?
62
Maybe a little, but I'm happy now. That changed quickly.
63
Shopping changes everything.
64
Now you are smiling.
65
Because you finally said something useful.
66
So, can you help me find my phone now?
67
Wait, is that your phone in your pocket?
68
Oh no, yes it is.
69
You made me angry for nothing.
70
But now you are happy.
71
Only because of shopping.
72
Lily, what are you making for breakfast today?
73
I want to make something special.
74
Special?
75
That sounds interesting.
76
Yes, I feel like cooking a nice meal today.
77
What about lunch?
78
I am planning lunch too.
79
Wow, you are working very hard.
80
I just want everything to taste good.
81
Can I help you in the kitchen?
82
That is kind, but you can relax. Are you sure?
83
Yes, I can manage.
84
I can cut vegetables for you.
85
Thank you, but I already finished most of it.
86
Maybe I can wash the dishes?
87
No, no, you should rest.
88
I don't want you to do everything alone.
89
It is okay.
90
I enjoy cooking.
91
You're being very sweet today.
92
Maybe because I'm in a good mood.
93
So, what are you making?
94
Your favorite breakfast.
95
Really?
96
Yes, and your favorite lunch, too. That sounds amazing.
97
Just give me 30 minutes.
98
30 minutes?
99
That's fast.
100
I know what I'm doing.
101
I believe you.
102
Good.
103
Now go and sit down.
104
You are giving me orders again.
105
Only because I care.
106
Okay.
107
I will relax. That is better.
108
I will go to the living room then.
109
Wait a second.
110
Take this coffee.
111
This is for me?
112
Yes.
113
Drink it while you relax.
114
Thank you, Lily.
115
You're welcome.
116
You were very caring today.
117
Maybe I like seeing you happy.
118
Then I am very happy right now.
119
Good.
120
Now let me finish cooking.
121
I will wait patiently.
122
And no more questions for 10 minutes.
123
Deal.
124
This coffee smells really good.
125
Lily always makes the best coffee.
126
I should relax for a few minutes.
127
Oh, someone is calling me.
128
Hello?
129
Hi, Mike.
130
This is Maya.
131
Hi, Maya.
132
How are you?
133
I am good.
134
Is Lily nearby?
135
Yes, she's in the kitchen.
136
I tried calling her many times.
137
Really?
138
Yes, but she is not answering her phone.
139
She's busy cooking.
140
Can you please give the phone to her?
141
Sure.
142
Wait a moment.
143
Thank you.
144
Lily, your friend Maya is calling.
145
Maya?
146
Yes.
147
She said you are not answering your phone.
148
Oh, no. I forgot to check my phone.
149
She called me because she wanted to talk to you.
150
Really?
151
Give me the phone.
152
Here, take it.
153
Thank you.
154
She sounds like she really wants to talk.
155
Maybe something important happened.
156
Talk to her.
157
I will wait here.
158
Okay.
159
Hello, Lily.
160
Hi, Maya.
161
Sorry, I was cooking.
162
I guessed that.
163
Why did you call me?
164
I wanted to tell you something.
165
Tell me.
166
It is a surprise.
167
Now I am curious.
168
This breakfast smells amazing.
169
I'm happy you like it.
170
You worked very hard this morning.
171
I wanted everything to be special.
172
Thank you for making my favorite breakfast.
173
You're welcome.
174
This tastes really good.
175
I'm glad you enjoy it.
176
So, why did Maya call you?
177
She wanted to tell me something important.
178
What happened?
179
She is coming to our home today.
180
Really?
181
Yes.
182
She has an important meeting in the city.
183
That sounds nice.
184
She may stay here for two or three days. That will be fun.
185
I also think so.
186
We should welcome her properly.
187
Yes, we can prepare the guest room.
188
We can also cook something special for dinner.
189
Good idea.
190
Maya will feel comfortable here.
191
She always enjoys staying with us.
192
We should make her feel at home. Of course.
193
Maybe we can take her around the city too.
194
She would love that.
195
And when she goes back, we can give her a gift.
196
That is a wonderful idea.
197
Maybe something to remember this trip.
198
Yes, something meaningful.
199
I think she will be very happy.
200
I'm excited to see her.
201
Me too.
202
We should start planning everything.
203
First, let me finish this breakfast.
204
Good idea.
205
Then we can prepare for Maya's arrival.
206
Perfect.
207
Hello.
208
Welcome to our store.
209
Hello.
210
Are you looking for something special?
211
Yes.
212
I want a new dress.
213
For a party or daily use?
214
I'm not sure. That is okay.
215
We have many options.
216
I want something simple but also beautiful.
217
Do you like long dresses or short dresses?
218
Maybe a long dress.
219
What color do you usually wear?
220
I like soft colors.
221
Then you may like this pink dress.
222
Oh, this looks pretty.
223
It is one of our best-selling dresses.
224
The fabric feels soft.
225
Yes, it is very comfortable.
226
But I also like this blue dress.
227
The blue one is elegant.
228
I'm confused now.
229
Why?
230
Both dresses look nice.
231
You can try both.
232
That sounds better.
233
How do you feel in this dress?
234
It feels comfortable.
235
The color suits you.
236
Really?
237
Yes, it looks very good.
238
But maybe it is too simple.
239
This one looks stylish.
240
I like this dress too.
241
Which one do you prefer?
242
I still cannot decide.
243
Take your time.
244
Excuse me, what is the price of the blue dress?
245
The Aunt of Mario's costs 350 rupees.
246
And what about the pink one?
247
That one costs 270 rupees.
248
Hmm, the pink dress is cheaper.
249
Yes, but both have discounts today.
250
Really?
251
Yes, the pink dress has a 10% discount.
252
And the blue dress?
253
The blue dress has a 15% discount.
254
Wait, I'm confused again.
255
What is confusing?
256
I don't understand which one is a better deal.
257
After the discount, the blue dress becomes around 240 rupees.
258
Oh, that is lower than I expected.
259
And the pink dress becomes around 232 rupees.
260
The pink dress is cheaper.
261
Yes.
262
But I think I like the blue one more.
263
Then choose the one that makes you happy.
264
You are right.
265
Shopping should feel fun.
266
I think I will buy the blue dress.
267
Good choice.
268
Thank you for helping me.
269
You're welcome.
270
I was very confused, but now I feel happy.
271
Wow, this shop smells very nice.
272
Hello, welcome.
273
Hello. Can I help you?
274
Yes, I want to buy a bouquet.
275
What kind of bouquet are you looking for?
276
Something beautiful and welcoming.
277
Is it for a special occasion?
278
Yes, my friend Maya is coming to stay at our home. That sounds lovely.
279
I want to welcome her warmly.
280
Then flowers are a very good idea.
281
I think so, too. Do you like roses?
282
Yes, roses are nice.
283
We also have mixed flower bouquets. Can you show me? Of course.
284
This bouquet has roses, lilies, and white flowers.
285
It looks beautiful.
286
This one is very popular.
287
I like the colors.
288
It feels warm and friendly.
289
Yes, that is what I want.
290
Would you like a small bouquet or a large one?
291
Maybe a medium bouquet.
292
This medium bouquet looks elegant.
293
I think Maya will like it.
294
Good choice.
295
How much does it cost?
296
It costs 28 euros.
297
Does it include the wrapping?
298
Yes, wrapping is included. That sounds fair.
299
Would you like to add a small welcome card?
300
That is a good idea.
301
You can write a short message.
302
I will write, welcome to our home. That sounds sweet.
303
Thank you.
304
Total price is 30 euros with the card.
305
Okay.
306
Will you pay by cash or card?
307
I will pay by card.
308
Please tap your card here.
309
Done.
310
Payment successful.
311
Great.
312
Here is your bouquet.
313
Thank you very much.
314
You're welcome.
315
Oh my God, you are finally here!
316
Yes, I made it!
317
Come here.
318
I missed you so much.
319
I missed you too.
320
It feels so good to see you again.
321
You look tired.
322
I am a little tired.
323
Come inside first.
324
Thank you.
325
Your home feels so warm.
326
I wanted you to feel comfortable here.
327
I already do.
328
How was your journey?
329
Honestly, it was long.
330
Really?
331
Yes, the traffic was terrible. That sounds stressful.
332
I almost thought I would arrive very late.
333
I was checking the time again and again. Were you worried? Of course.
334
I wanted to know if you reached safely. That is sweet.
335
Did you eat anything during the trip?
336
Just a small snack.
337
You must be hungry.
338
A little.
339
Don't worry.
340
I made food for you.
341
Really?
342
Yes.
343
I knew you would arrive tired.
344
You always take care of me.
345
Because you are important to me. That means a lot.
346
How are you feeling now?
347
Better now that I'm here.
348
Good.
349
I needed this trip.
350
You sounded stressed on the phone.
351
I was.
352
Work pressure?
353
Yes, and many things at home, too.
354
I understand.
355
I just wanted a peaceful place for a few days.
356
Then you came to the right place.
357
Thank you for letting me stay.
358
You never need to ask.
359
That is why I love coming here.
360
How is your family?
361
They're doing okay.
362
How is your mother?
363
She's fine.
364
Does she still wake up early every morning?
365
Yes, nothing changed.
366
That sounds like her.
367
She asked me to say hello to you. That is so sweet.
368
She still remembers you.
369
Please tell her I miss her, too.
370
I will. And your father?
371
He is busy with work as always.
372
Some people never slow down.
373
Exactly. And your brother?
374
He started a new job recently.
375
Really?
376
That is wonderful.
377
Yes, he's very excited.
378
I'm happy for him.
379
Thank you.
380
Come, sit down and relax.
381
I would love that.
382
This is your home, too.
383
That is why I feel safe here.
384
By the way, where is Mike?
385
He went to the market.
386
Oh.
387
Yes, he wanted to buy something.
388
Something important?
389
I think so.
390
Hmm, he's not home yet?
391
No, but he should be back soon.
392
I wanted to say hello to him, too.
393
He will be happy to see you.
394
It has been a long time.
395
Yes, he still talks about funny memories.
396
Really? Of course.
397
I hope he still remembers me.
398
He definitely does.
399
Lisa, I am back.
400
I got something special for...
401
Oh, Maya?
402
Yes, it is me.
403
You are already here?
404
I thought I would welcome you at the door.
405
Looks like you are late.
406
Just a little.
407
What is that in your hand?
408
Uh, flowers. For me?
409
Yes. That is so sweet.
410
I wanted to surprise you.
411
But now you look more surprised.
412
I was not ready for this.
413
You look shocked.
414
Because I expected to see an empty house.
415
A big surprise.
416
So, do I still get the flowers? Of course.
417
Thank you.
418
Welcome to our home.
419
Thank you.
420
This makes me feel special.
421
And I still cannot believe she is already here.
422
You should have come home faster.
423
I will remember that next time.
424
Hi.
425
Are you waiting long?
426
No, I just came ten minutes ago.
427
Oh, that's good.
428
I was worried I was late.
429
No problem at all.
430
Are you ready for practice?
431
Yes, I am ready. And you?
432
Me too.
433
I'm a little nervous, though.
434
That's okay.
435
I feel the same.
436
Let's sit over there.
437
Okay, let's go.
438
This place is nice and quiet.
439
Yes, it's perfect for learning. Where are you from?
440
I am from Spain.
441
Oh, nice.
442
Are you Spanish?
443
Yes, I am.
444
What about you?
445
I am British.
446
Nice to meet you.
447
Nice to meet you, too.
448
I like your accent.
449
Thank you, but I want to improve it.
450
Are you here for learning English?
451
Yes, I am.
452
What is your native place?
453
I am from London.
454
Wow, London.
455
That's amazing.
456
What is your name, sir?
457
My name is James Merkle.
458
Nice name.
459
Thank you.
460
And your name?
461
I am Angela Woodson.
462
That's a beautiful name.
463
Thank you so much.
464
How long have you been learning English?
465
I have been learning English for four months.
466
That's great progress.
467
I still make many mistakes.
468
That's okay.
469
Mistakes help us learn.
470
Yes, I believe that too. Do you practice daily?
471
Yes, I practice daily.
472
That's very good.
473
How do you practice English?
474
Most of the time, shadowing practice.
475
Oh, nice.
476
That's a powerful method.
477
Yes, it helps my speaking a lot.
478
Do you watch English videos?
479
Yes, every day.
480
It improves my listening.
481
Same here.
482
I also repeat sentences.
483
That's a great idea.
484
Do you feel more confident now?
485
A little, but I want to speak more.
486
Don't worry.
487
We can practice together.
488
That sounds great.
489
I think we will improve fast.
490
Yes, with regular practice.
491
I am happy we met today.
492
Me too.
493
This is a good start.
494
Let's continue meeting like this.
495
Yes, let's do that.
496
This walk feels nice.
497
Yes, I feel more relaxed now.
498
Good.
499
Let's talk about your learning habits.
500
Okay, I like this topic.
501
What is shadowing practice?
502
It means repeating audio immediately after hearing it.
503
That's correct.
504
Do you find it useful?
505
Yes.
506
It improves my pronunciation.
507
That's great.
508
Do you also watch movies in English?
509
Yes.
510
I watch with English subtitles.
511
That's a smart way.
512
It helps me understand better.
513
Which movies do you like?
514
I like animated movies and comedies.
515
Oh, me too.
516
They're fun and easy to follow.
517
Yes, and the language is simple.
518
Do you write new words down?
519
Yes, I keep a small vocabulary notebook.
520
That's very good.
521
It helps me remember words.
522
How many new words do you learn per day?
523
About five to seven new words.
524
That's perfect.
525
Not too much, not too little.
526
Yes.
527
I don't want to feel stressed.
528
Do you speak with native speakers?
529
Not yet, but I want to try.
530
You should try soon.
531
I feel a little shy.
532
That's normal.
533
Everyone feels that.
534
Really?
535
Yes.
536
Even I felt shy before.
537
That makes me feel better.
538
Would you like to practice with me?
539
Yes.
540
That would be great.
541
We can meet regularly.
542
I would like that.
543
What time do you usually study?
544
I study in the evening after work.
545
That's a good routine.
546
Yes, I try to stay consistent.
547
Do you listen to English podcasts?
548
Yes, I listen every morning.
549
That's impressive.
550
It helps my listening skills.
551
Which podcast do you recommend?
552
I like The English We Speak by BBC.
553
Oh yes, that's a very good one.
554
The episodes are short and useful.
555
Exactly.
556
Easy to follow.
557
I learn new phrases every day.
558
That's how you improve fast.
559
I want to become fluent one day.
560
You will.
561
You are already improving.
562
Thank you.
563
That means a lot.
564
Keep practicing like this.
565
I will not stop.
566
Good mindset.
567
I feel more confident now.
568
I can see that.
569
And I enjoy learning more.
570
That's the best part.
571
Yes, learning should be fun.

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。
