Welcome to English Listening Channel.

Hello, everyone.
3
Today we're going to look at a conversation at a clothing store.
4
In this video, you will follow a simple and practical story between two friends.
5
Don't worry, I will speak slowly and clearly,
6
so please relax and enjoy the story.
7
Before we start, I have a small question for you.
8
Please listen carefully to find the answer.
9
This will help you understand English more deeply.
10
So here is today's question.
11
On a woman's shirt, where are the buttons?
12
On the right or on the left?
13
The answer is mentioned in the conversation.
14
If you find the answer,
15
please write it in the comments section.
16
By writing your answer in English,
17
you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
18
Alright, let's start the video.
19
Are you ready?
20
Okay, let's begin.
21
Sam, look.
22
This is the store I told you about.
23
It's called Easy Wear.
24
Oh, nice.
25
The window looks cool.
26
So many colors.
27
I love this shop.
28
The clothes are simple and the prices are good.
29
That's a great combination.
30
Simple style and a kind price.
31
Right?
32
I come here once a month.
33
Once a month?
34
Wow.
35
You must know the store very well.
36
I do.
37
I know where everything is.
38
Lucky me.
39
You can be my guide today.
40
Happy to.
41
I need a new sweater.
42
How about you?
43
Same here.
44
A new sweater, please.
45
It's getting cold in the morning.
46
I felt it this morning, too.
47
It was really cold at the bus stop.
48
I hate cold mornings, but I love sweater season.
49
That's a fair trade.
50
Hey, Sam, can I ask you a quick question first?
51
Sure.
52
What is it?
53
Look at your shirt.
54
Where are the buttons?
55
On the right side or the left?
56
Hmm, let me check.
57
They are on the right.
58
Right.
59
Now, where are the buttons on a woman's shirt, right or left?
60
Hmm, the same, right?
61
On the right?
62
No, they are on the other side.
63
Really?
64
I never noticed that.
65
Most people don't notice.
66
And do you know why they are different?
67
No idea.
68
Is there a reason?
69
Yes, there is.
70
It's a fun story from a long time ago.
71
Now I want to know.
72
Tell me.
73
I will show you inside.
74
It's easier with real shirts in our hands.
75
Okay, you've got me.
76
Let's go in.
77
Let's start with the summer clothes.
78
They're on sale.
79
Sale?
80
Even better.
81
Lead the way.
82
Here we are.
83
The summer section.
84
Wow, so many t-shirts.
85
I like this black one.
86
Black looks cool, but you know,
87
black is hot in summer.
88
Hot?
89
Why?
90
Black takes in the light from the sun,
91
so it gets warm fast.
92
Oh, really?
93
Yes.
94
White is different.
95
White sends the light back, so it stays cool.
96
So, in hot weather, I should pick white?
97
White or light colors.
98
They feel cooler outside.
99
Good to know.
100
I always pick black.
101
I thought it just looked nice.
102
It does look nice, but for hot days, light colors are better.
103
Then maybe this light blue one.
104
It looks fresh.
105
That looks nice on you.
106
Try it next to your face.
107
Like this?
108
How is it?
109
Yes, it works.
110
The color matches your skin.
111
Cool.
112
I'll think about it.
113
Take your time.
114
Hey, what about your button story?
115
Show me.
116
Right.
117
Let's go to the shirts.
118
Over there.
119
Okay.
120
Look, this is a men's shirt.
121
The buttons are on the right.
122
Yes, like mine.
123
Now look at this one.
124
This is a women's shirt.
125
The buttons are on the left.
126
Wow, you're right.
127
They really are on the left.
128
Cool, right?
129
My grandma told me the story.
130
So why is it like this?
131
A long time ago, rich women didn't get dressed by themselves.
132
They didn't?
133
No. Someone helped them.
134
A helper stood in front of them.
135
Oh, I see.
136
Most helpers used their right hand,
137
so buttons on the left side were easier for them.
138
That makes sense.
139
And men dressed themselves?
140
Yes.
141
Most men used their right hand,
142
too, so buttons on the right were easy for them.
143
Wow, what a story.
144
And it's still the same today?
145
Yes.
146
Old habits stay for a long time.
147
I love it.
148
So now I'll always remember.
149
I told my brother last year.
150
He didn't believe me at first.
151
I get it.
152
It's hard to believe.
153
But then he checked his own shirt and his wife's shirt.
154
He was shocked.
155
Same here.
156
Okay, now you need that sweater.
157
Where are they?
158
Yeah, let's find them.
159
This way.
160
And here's one more fun fact about sweaters.
161
Oh, tell me.
162
Do you know why sweaters keep us warm?
163
Because they are thick?
164
Partly, but the real reason is the air.
165
The air?
166
Yes.
167
The wool has many small spaces.
168
Air sits in those spaces.
169
And the air keeps the heat in?
170
Right.
171
Air is a great way to hold heat, so sweaters feel warm.
172
I never thought about that.
173
Air is doing the work.
174
Yes.
175
The air is the hero.
176
Hero air.
177
I'll never look at a sweater the same way again.
178
Now you know the secret.
179
Okay, hero heir.
180
Let's find a sweater.
181
They're in the back.
182
Follow me.
183
Excuse me, could you help me?
184
Of course.
185
What can I do for you?
186
I like this sweater.
187
Do you have it in size M?
188
Let me check.
189
What color do you want?
190
I'm not sure yet.
191
What colors do you have?
192
We have black, gray, navy, and a light pink.
193
Hmm.
194
What color looks good in fall and winter?
195
Navy is very popular.
196
It goes with many other clothes.
197
Oh, nice.
198
What about gray?
199
Gray is also good.
200
Soft and easy to wear.
201
Hmm.
202
Both sound nice.
203
If you have many black or white tops at home,
204
navy adds a fresh color.
205
That's true.
206
I have a lot of black.
207
Then navy is a good choice today.
208
Can I see the navy one in size M?
209
One moment, please.
210
Thank you.
211
Here you go.
212
Size M, navy.
213
Oh, the color is really nice.
214
Soft and warm.
215
Yes, the wool is soft on the skin, too.
216
Is the wool warm?
217
Very warm.
218
It's good for cold mornings.
219
Perfect.
220
That's just what I need.
221
How should I wash it?
222
Hand wash is best.
223
Use cold water.
224
Hand wash.
225
Got it.
226
Don't put it in a hot dryer.
227
It can get smaller.
228
Cold water and no hot dryer.
229
Easy to remember.
230
Can I help you with anything else?
231
Can I try it on?
232
Of course.
233
The fitting rooms are over there, on the right.
234
Got it.
235
Thank you so much, sir.
236
You're welcome.
237
If the size doesn't work, just call me.
238
I will.
239
By the way, is this on sale?
240
Yes, it's 20% off this week.
241
Oh, lucky me.
242
It's a good week to buy a sweater.
243
For sure.
244
Okay, I'll go try it on.
245
Take your time.
246
How is it?
247
Does it fit?
248
I think so.
249
Let me come out.
250
Oh, wow.
251
That looks really good on you.
252
Really?
253
It's not too big?
254
No, it looks just right.
255
The color is nice, too.
256
Navy was the staff's idea.
257
He said it goes with many clothes.
258
He's right.
259
You can wear it with jeans or a skirt.
260
That's true.
261
I like that.
262
And it looks soft.
263
Is it warm?
264
Yes, very warm.
265
Remember?
266
The air is the hero.
267
I won't forget.
268
Hero air.
269
How about the length?
270
Is it too long?
271
No, it's a good length.
272
It looks natural.
273
And the arms, are they too long?
274
Let me see.
275
Lift your arms?
276
Like this?
277
A little long, maybe, but not bad.
278
I like long sleeves.
279
I can keep my hands warm.
280
Smart.
281
Then it's perfect.
282
Great.
283
I'll take it.
284
Nice choice.
285
And it's 20% off, right?
286
Yes.
287
That made me happy, too.
288
A new sweater and a nice price.
289
Good day.
290
I agree.
291
Okay.
292
I still want a sweater for me, but maybe next time.
293
Why?
294
You said you needed one.
295
I want to think about the color.
296
Maybe I'll come back this weekend.
297
Smart.
298
Don't buy something you don't love.
299
That's my rule.
300
If I'm not sure, I wait.
301
Good rule.
302
I should try that too.
303
Just sometimes.
304
But sales are special.
305
True.
306
Right.
307
Then let's go pay.
308
Wait.
309
I want to look at one more thing on the way.
310
Sure.
311
What is it?
312
Some small things.
313
You'll see.
314
Here.
315
Look at these handkerchiefs.
316
Oh, nice.
317
So many designs.
318
I want a new one for work.
319
Mine is getting old.
320
How old is your old one?
321
About two years.
322
It's a little gray now.
323
Two years is a good life for a handkerchief.
324
I think so, too.
325
This one with little flowers is cute.
326
Cute, yes, but maybe too bright for me.
327
How about this green one?
328
It's a soft green.
329
Oh, I like it.
330
The color is calm.
331
It looks like spring leaves.
332
Nice way to say it.
333
I'll take this one.
334
Good.
335
And maybe I should get one, too.
336
For yourself?
337
Yes, I always forget to bring one.
338
That's not good.
339
You need one.
340
This dark blue one looks nice.
341
Simple.
342
It matches my sweater.
343
Now we're a team.
344
Team Navy.
345
I love that name.
346
Hey, look.
347
These socks are cute, too.
348
Oh, with little dots.
349
Nice.
350
They are warm socks for winter.
351
I have enough socks, but these are nice.
352
Save it for next time.
353
Good plan.
354
Okay, I'll take this handkerchief.
355
Anything else?
356
No, I'm good.
357
Let's pay.
358
Where's the cashier?
359
At the front, near the door.
360
Got it.
361
Let's go.
362
Wait, do you have your member's card ready?
363
Member's card?
364
I don't have one.
365
Maybe ask at the counter.
366
You can save some money.
367
Oh, good idea.
368
I'll ask.
369
Hello.
370
Did you find everything okay?
371
Yes, thank you.
372
Just these, please.
373
A sweater and a handkerchief.
374
Let me check the prices.
375
The sweater's on sale, 20% off.
376
Yes, I see that.
377
Your total is $32.
378
Okay.
379
Do you have a member's card?
380
Yes, we do.
381
Would you like to make one?
382
It's free.
383
Oh, free.
384
Yes, please.
385
Great.
386
You'll get 5% off today and a coupon for next time.
387
Wow, that's nice.
388
What does the coupon do?
389
It gives you 10% off your next visit.
390
Even better.
391
How long can I use the coupon?
392
One month from today.
393
One month.
394
I can use it.
395
Many people come back within a month.
396
I'm sure.
397
I'm one of them.
398
Can I have your name and email, please?
399
Sure, here.
400
Thank you.
401
Your card is ready.
402
Here it is.
403
Thank you.
404
It's a nice color.
405
We just changed the design last month.
406
Oh, lucky timing.
407
Your new total is $30.40.
408
Cash, please.
409
Sure.
410
Out of 40?
411
Yes.
412
Here's your change. $9.60.
413
Thanks.
414
Would you like a bag?
415
It's 10 cents.
416
Yes, please.
417
One bag is fine.
418
Here you are.
419
Thank you for shopping with us.
420
Please come again.
421
Thank you, sir.
422
Have a nice day.
423
You too.
424
That was a good shopping day.
425
Yes, I love my new sweater.
426
And we both got handkerchiefs.
427
Team Navy, remember?
428
Of course.
429
Can we sit here for a minute?
430
My legs are tired.
431
Sure.
432
Let's rest.
433
This bench is nice.
434
Good spot.
435
We can watch people walk by.
436
I love watching people.
437
It's like a movie.
438
A free movie.
439
The best kind.
440
You taught me a lot today.
441
Really?
442
Like what?
443
Black is hot in summer.
444
White stays cool.
445
Good.
446
And sweaters are warm because of the air inside.
447
Hero air.
448
Yes.
449
And the button story.
450
That was my favorite.
451
I knew you'd like that one.
452
So just to check, where are the buttons on a woman's shirt?
453
On the left.
454
Right!
455
Now I'll always remember.
456
Good student.
457
And I learned about the member's card, too.
458
Next time I'll get one.
459
Yes!
460
Save your money!
461
Small savings become big.
462
My mom always says that.
463
Smart mom.
464
She is.
465
She taught me a lot about shopping.
466
It shows.
467
You're a great shopper.
468
Thanks.
469
Hey, thanks for showing me your favorite store.
470
Anytime.
471
It's more fun with a friend.
472
Same here.
473
Want to get some tea before we go home?
474
Yes, please.
475
I know a nice place near here.
476
Of course you do.
477
It has good cake, too.
478
Now I really want to go.
479
Lead the way?
480
No, this time I will.
481
Follow me.
482
Okay, my guide.

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。
