Treasure Emma was on holiday, but she was really bored.
3
There were too many people in the hotel pool.
4
She had no one to play volleyball with and her parents just wanted to sit in the sun.
5
Emma walked along the beach and sat down by a rock.
6
What a boring day, she thought.
7
Then something hit her on the head.
8
It was a beach ball.
9
Sorry, a little boy said.
10
He picked up his ball and stood in front of her.
11
He was only about six or seven.
12
Emma wanted him to go away.
13
What do you want?
14
Emma asked him.
15
Nothing?
16
But you look unhappy.
17
What's the matter?
18
I'm bored.
19
Emma said.
20
We could look for treasure The little boy said Emma thought that was a silly idea Where are your parents?
21
She asked They're on our ship Out there by the island I'm the son of a pirate The boy said Emma laughed
22
There's no ship and you can't be a pirate Pirates are only in films and stories.
23
The boy didn't move.
24
Believe me, he smiled.
25
I am the brave son of a brave pirate and our ship is there.
26
You can't see it because you believe we're only in films and stories.
27
Emma thought the little boy was funny and suddenly she didn't feel bored.
28
Okay, she said and stood up.
29
Let's explore the beach and look for treasure.
30
The boy pointed at some rocks.
31
Shall we begin looking there?
32
He whispered.
33
Between the rocks, there were lots of pools of seawater.
34
They were full of small sea creatures, beautiful stones and shells.
35
Those stones and shells are lovely, aren't they?
36
The little boy said, they're a kind of treasure.
37
Mmm, Emma said.
38
Then she saw something blue in the rock pool too.
39
What's that?
40
It's a glove, isn't it?
41
Yes, the little boy said.
42
Perhaps someone lost it here.
43
He picked up the wet glove.
44
This is a kind of treasure as well, he said, and put it in a large bag that he carried on his shoulder.
45
Then they climbed over the rocks to the next pool.
46
They were looking unusual in that one too.
47
What is it?
48
Emma asked.
49
It looks like a silver fork.
50
Can you get it for me?
51
Of course I can, the little boy said.
52
He pulled out the silver fork and put it in his bag too.
53
Then Emma saw something else.
54
There was an old pair of sunglasses in another rock pool.
55
The little boy pulled his sleeve up over his elbow and took the sunglasses out of the water.
56
More wonderful treasure!
57
He laughed.
58
Then they arrived at a fourth pool.
59
The water there was really deep and the rocks around it hurt their knees.
60
It's quite dangerous here, Emma said.
61
I don't want to stay here.
62
Let's go back instead.
63
But the little boy said, Look, there's a ring under that black and gold fish.
64
I can get that for you too.
65
It's the very, very best kind of treasure. Are you sure?
66
Emma said.
67
That fish looks angry, doesn't it?
68
And it's got really scary big teeth.
69
It might bite your fingers.
70
That ugly crab might climb out and bite your toes too.
71
Don't worry.
72
These things aren't frightening, he said.
73
I'm the brave son of a brave pirate.
74
Deep water, fish with big teeth or ugly crabs are no problem for a child like me.
75
The little boy took the glove, fork, and the old pair of sunglasses out of his bag.
76
He put on the glove and put the old pair of sunglasses on the fork.
77
Then, slowly, slowly, put his hand,
78
then his elbow, down, down into the deep water.
79
The brave little boy soon hooked the ring out of the water with the end of the sunglasses.
80
He gave it to Emma.
81
Here you are, he said.
82
No problem them.
83
The ring was so pretty, Emma couldn't speak.
84
But when she looked up to thank the little boy, he wasn't there.
85
She was very surprised.
86
Where did he disappear to?
87
Emma didn't know, but she carried the ring carefully back to the hotel to show her parents.
88
They weren't sitting in the sun, so Emma went upstairs to their room.
89
Emma's mother was there.
90
She looked very worried and sad.
91
What's the matter, Mum?
92
Emma asked.
93
I lost my beautiful gold ring when I went for a swim.
94
I was having fun in the waves, but it suddenly came off my finger.
95
Emma opened her hand. Is this it?
96
She asked.
97
Yes, her mother said.
98
Where did you find it?
99
A pirate's son fished it out of a rock pool for me, Emma answered.
100
Emma looked out of the hotel window.
101
A pirate ship was sailing away and a little boy was waving to her.
102
And this time Emma could see them both, the boy and the pirate ship.

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。
