Welcome to Storyline Online brought to you by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.

I'm Olivia Munn, and today I'm going to read “The Most Magnificent Thing,” written and illustrated by Ashley Spires.
3
For all the little perfectionists of the world.
4
This is a regular girl and her best friend in the whole wide world.
5
They do all kinds of things together.
6
They race. They eat.
7
They explore.
8
They relax.
9
She makes things.
10
He unmakes things.
11
One day the girl has a wonderful idea.
12
She is going to make the most MAGNIFICENT thing!
13
She knows just how it will look.
14
She knows just how it will work.
15
All she has to do is make it.
16
And she makes things all the time.
17
Easy peasy!
18
First, she hires an assistant.
19
Next they gather their supplies.
20
They set up somewhere out of the way and get to work.
21
The girl tinkers and hammers and measures...
22
...while her assistant pounces and growls and chews.
23
When she is finished, she steps back to admire her work.
24
She walks around one side.
25
Her assistant examines the other side.
26
It doesn't look right.
27
Her assistant picks it up and gives it a shake.
28
It doesn't feel right either.
29
They are shocked to discover that the thing isn't magnificent.
30
Or good. It isn't even kind of sort of okay.
31
It is all WRONG.
32
The girl tosses it aside and gives it another go.
33
She smooths and wrenches and fiddles.
34
Her assistant circles and tugs and wags.
35
When she is finished, she stands up and takes a long look at it.
36
Her assistant gives it a nudge with his paw.
37
The thing is still wrong.
38
She decides to try again.
39
The girls saws and glues and adjusts.
40
She stands and examines and stares.
41
She twists and tweaks and fastens.
42
She fixes and straightens and studies.
43
She tries all different ways to make it better.
44
She makes it square.
45
She makes it round.
46
She gives it legs. She adds antenna.
47
She makes it fuzzy.
48
She makes it long, short, rough, smooth, big, small — one even smells of stinky cheese!
49
But none of them are MAGNIFICENT.
50
Her hard work attracts a few admirers, but they don't understand.
51
They can't see the MAGNIFICENT thing that she has in her mind.
52
She gets MAD.
53
The angrier she gets, the faster she works.
54
She SMASHES pieces into shapes.
55
She JAMS parts together.
56
She PUMMELS the little bits in.
57
Her hands feel too big to work, and her brain is too full of all the not right things.
58
If only the thing...
59
WOULD... JUST...
60
WORK!!! The PAIN starts in her finger.
61
It rushes up to her BRAIN...
62
...and she EXPLODES!
63
It is not her finest moment.
64
I'm no good at this.
65
I QUIT. Her assistant suggests a walk.
66
It's not much help at first, But before long, she starts to feel different.
67
Bit by bit, the mad gets pushed out of her head.
68
As they stroll along, she comes across the first wrong thing she made.
69
The bad feelings are about to start all over again.
70
Then she notices something surprising.
71
There are some parts of the WRONG things that are really quite RIGHT.
72
The bolts on one, the shape of another, the wheel-to-seat ratio of the next.
73
There are all sorts of parts that she likes!
74
By the time she reaches the end of the trail, she finally knows how to make the thing MAGNIFICENT.
75
She gets to work.
76
She works carefully and slowly, tinkering, hammering, twisting, fiddling, gluing, painting.
77
Her assistant makes sure there are no distractions.
78
This is the perfect thing to ward off bears!
79
This will stop that leak.
80
This one's all wet.
81
The afternoon fades into evening.
82
Finally, she finishes.
83
She alerts her assistant.
84
The pair take a good long look.
85
It leans a little to the left.
86
and it's a bit heavier than expected.
87
The color could use a bit of work, too.
88
But it's just what she wanted!
89
They climb aboard and take it for a spin.
90
They are not disappointed.
91
It really is THE MOST MAGNIFICENT THING.
92
You know, I like it when she says she's going to quit.
93
As a kid, I think I always wanted to be able to scream, like, “I quit!” My mom, I have a I have a tiger mom, Asian mom, who will not let me quit anything.
94
I wanted to quit piano.
95
I couldn't quit piano.
96
I wanted to quit, Taekwondo, I couldn't quit.
97
I want to quit swimming.
98
I wanted to quit everything.
99
And she never let me quit.
100
And so, the thing that I love about this little girl saying she quits is that for me I know if I was allowed to quit at any point, then I would really have regretted it as an adult.
101
And I'm so happy that my mother made me keep going and keep pushing through all the tough feelings and the hard feelings and the tired feelings so that I could stick with it.
102
And I love that in this book because she says I quit.
103
But we know there's so much more to the book.
104
You know, there's still so many more pages left.
105
So we know that she, she's not going to quit.
106
She's not going to let herself down.

練習のコツ

この動画を使って効果的にshadow speakを行うためのいくつかのアドバイスがあります。まず、動画を始める前に、リスニングに集中するための静かな環境を整えましょう。次に、オリビア・マンの声のスピードに注目し、彼女のペースに合わせて声を出してみてください。最初は、彼女の言葉をそのまま繰り返すshadow speechを行い、自分の発音が彼女のものとどれだけ一致しているか感じてみましょう。

一度聞き終えたら、セクションごとに分けて繰り返すことをおすすめします。例えば、物語の一部を聴き、それを模倣し、再度聴いてみることで、自然な言い回しを体に馴染ませることができます。このように細かく分けることで、発音やイントネーションがより正確になります。また、自分が話す映像を録画して後で見返すと、改善点が見つかりやすくなります。この動画を利用したshadowspeaksの練習で、色んな声色や感情を試してみて、自分の表現力を高めることができるでしょう。

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。
