1
Morning, Helen! Did you have a nice weekend?
2
Yes, thanks! I went to the beach with my sister.
3
The beach? In October? Wasn't it cold?
4
Very cold! But we had hot chips, so it was fine.
5
What about you, Ben? What did you do?
6
Not much. It rained all weekend, so I stayed at home.
7
Oh, that's a shame. Well, it's sunny today.
8
Yes, and it's warmer than yesterday, too!
9
Ugh, the coffee machine isn't working again!
10
Really? It broke last Monday, too!
11
What should I do? Press the red button?
12
Hmm, I'm not sure... Try turning it off and on.
13
Wow, it works! Hot coffee at last!
14
Um, excuse me. Can I make a coffee here, too?
15
Of course! Are you new here?
16
Yes, today's my first day. I'm Anna, from marketing.
17
Welcome, Anna! I'm Ben, and this is Helen.
18
So, how is your first day going?
19
Oh, a bit scary. It's much bigger than my old office.
20
Don't worry. Everyone here is really friendly.
21
Except the coffee machine. It hates everyone!
22
Ha! Thanks, that's good to know.
23
Hey, why don't we all have lunch together?
24
Great idea! There's a new pizza place near the station.
25
Is it expensive? I didn't bring much money.
26
Don't worry, it's cheaper than the café downstairs.
27
Okay, so lunch at half past twelve. Don't be late!
28
I won't! Thank you both so much.
29
And I'll bring my coffee, just in case!

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。
