1
How's your new place, Julie?
2
It's really nice.
3
I finally finished unpacking, so now I feel more settled.
4
Have you met your neighbors yet?
5
Yes.
6
I met them yesterday.
7
They're really friendly.
8
But they're a bit too passionate about protecting the environment.
9
They're really keen on renewable energy.
10
You know, like using solar or wind energy.
11
They took great pride in showing me the mini wind turbine in their garden and the solar panels on their roof.
12
They're also fanatical about recycling.
13
They gave me a tour of their bins.
14
They have five different bins, all with different types of rubbish.
15
And it's all neatly sorted and divided.
16
They sound like model members of the community.
17
I don't know why you are complaining.
18
Anyway, isn't it a good thing to be environmentally conscious?
19
Well, yes, but I couldn't get away once they started talking about it.
20
They kept talking to me for nearly two hours.
21
I was almost late for work.
22
What kind of things did they talk about?
23
Oh, so much.
24
They started off by talking about how our dependence on fossil fuels is causing a buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere,
25
which is damaging the ozone layer.
26
and how this would inevitably lead to increasing temperatures and rising sea levels all around the world.
27
Well, they're not wrong.
28
I know, but this was the first time I'd ever met them.
29
They went on to talk extensively about the problems brought about by deforestation.
30
Like habitat loss?
31
Yes, and other things, like how the trees can help to soak up CO2 from the atmosphere and offset the damage by fossil fuel use.
32
Oh, really?
33
That's interesting.
34
I didn't know that.
35
In that case, I'll have to introduce you to them, then.
36
They are thinking about launching a new community campaign to convince more people to recycle.
37
Thank you.

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。
