1
Once upon a time in a beautiful land far away lived a happy young girl named Ella.
2
Ella lived with her father who loved her very much.
3
Their days were full of sunshine.
4
Higher daddy, higher!
5
But sadness came when her father passed away, leaving Ella all alone.
6
Her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was cold and unkind.
7
She took over the house.
8
She brought her two daughters, Anastasia and Drusella, who were loud and messy.
9
They treated poor Ella like a servant.
10
They even changed her name.
11
The ball is tonight, Ella.
12
Enjoy your scrubbing.
13
Look at her!
14
She is covered in cinders and dirt!
15
Let's call her Cinderella!
16
Yes, Cinderella the maid!
17
From that day on, Cinderella worked from sunrise to sunset.
18
She cooked the meals, washed the dishes, and cleaned the clothes.
19
Yet despite their cruelty, Cinderella remained kind and gentle.
20
Don't worry little friends, someday things will be better.
21
Cinderella lived in a dusty attic high up in the tower.
22
She dreamed of a life where she could be free and happy.
23
One morning, a royal messenger arrived with exciting news.
24
Hear ye!
25
Hear ye!
26
The king is hosting a royal ball!
27
Every maiden in the kingdom is invited to meet the prince.
28
The prince!
29
I will marry the prince and be a queen!
30
No, he will choose me!
31
I am much more beautiful!
32
That means I can go too!
33
The invitation says every maiden.
34
You?
35
Go to the ball?
36
But you have nothing to wear, Cinderella.
37
I can fix my mother's old dress.
38
It will be beautiful.
39
Cinderella worked fast.
40
The mice and birds helped her sew.
41
But her stepmother had a cruel plan to stop her.
42
Girls, give Cinderella more chores.
43
She must not finish that dress.
44
Cinderella, clean the windows.
45
Wash the curtains.
46
Cinderella, scrub the terrace.
47
Polish the silver!
48
Poor Cinderella worked all day.
49
She had no time for her dress.
50
But her little friends had a surprise waiting in the attic.
51
Oh, it's wonderful!
52
Thank you, my friends!
53
Cinderella put on her dress and ran downstairs to join the others.
54
Please wait, I am ready and I can go to the ball!
55
Wait a minute, that is my ribbon, thief!
56
And those are my beads!
57
You stole them!
58
The jealous sisters tore Cinderella's beautiful dress to pieces.
59
Come along, girls.
60
We don't want to be late for the prince.
61
They left Cinderella alone in the dark house, crying.
62
Heartbroken, Cinderella ran into the garden and wept.
63
It's no use.
64
No use at all.
65
I have nothing left.
66
But then the air began to sparkle with magic.
67
A kind glowing woman appeared.
68
It was her fairy godmother.
69
Everything is going to be magnificent.
70
Dry your tears, child.
71
You can't go to the ball looking like that.
72
But I have no carriage and my dress is ruined.
73
Nonsense!
74
With a little magic, anything is possible!
75
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!
76
The pumpkin began to grow and change shape.
77
It turned into a magnificent golden carriage carriage.
78
Next, the mice were turned into four white horses, and the old horse became a fancy coachman.
79
It's beautiful, but my dress?
80
Good heavens, child!
81
We can't have that!
82
Stand still!
83
The magic swirled around Cinderella like a glittering wind.
84
Her rags vanished, and a stunning blue gown appeared.
85
And on her feet, two slippers made of pure glass.
86
It's like a dream, a wonderful dream come true.
87
But listen well, the magic only lasts until midnight.
88
When the clock strikes twelve, everything will turn back.
89
I understand.
90
I promise to be home by midnight.
91
Cinderella waved goodbye and rode off to the castle.
92
At the palace, the ball had already begun.
93
The prince was bored.
94
He hadn't found anyone special.
95
Then the music stopped.
96
Everyone looked at the stairs.
97
Cinderella stood there, shining like a star. Who is she?
98
She is...
99
Magnificent.
100
The prince walked straight to her and bowed.
101
They danced across the floor.
102
It was magical.
103
They swirled and twirled, eyes only for each other. Who is that girl?
104
I've never seen her before.
105
The Prince likes her.
106
It's not fair!
107
Cinderella and the Prince talked and laughed all night.
108
I feel like I have known you forever.
109
And I feel happy.
110
Truly happy.
111
Oh no. It's midnight.
112
I must go.
113
Wait!
114
I don't even know your name!
115
Cinderella ran as fast as she could down the stairs.
116
In her haste, she lost one of her glass slippers.
117
She didn't stop to get it.
118
She jumped into her carriage.
119
The carriage raced away just as the last bell rang.
120
She is gone, but she left this.
121
The magic faded.
122
Cinderella was back in her rags, but she still had one glass slipper in her pocket.
123
The next day, the king ordered a search.
124
Every maiden must try on the slipper.
125
The prince will marry the one it fits.
126
The duke visited every single house, but the glass slipper fit absolutely no one.
127
After a long search across the land, the Duke finally arrived at Cinderella's forgotten home.
128
My daughters are the only ones here.
129
There is no one else. But Cinderella was trapped.
130
Her stepmother had locked her away, high up in the attic.
131
Her loyal mouse friends saw her trouble and knew they needed a plan to set her free.
132
It fits!
133
It fits!
134
It fits!
135
It fits!
136
Push harder!
137
My turn!
138
I have dainty feet!
139
Quietly and quickly, the brave mice stole the attic key right from the stepmother's watchful eye.
140
They raced upstairs and, with all their might, slid the key under Cinderella's locked door.
141
Cinderella instantly unlocked the door.
142
She ran downstairs as fast as she possibly could.
143
Wait!
144
May I try on the slipper?
145
Madam, my orders are every maiden.
146
The wicked stepmother tried one final spiteful trick to interfere.
147
The glass slipper fell, shattering instantly into many tiny pieces.
148
Oh dear, now there is no slipper.
149
What a shame!
150
Don't worry, I have the other one.
151
Cinderella showed the matching slipper.
152
She put it on and it fit perfectly.
153
It is you.
154
You are the princess!
155
Because of her kind heart, Cinderella graciously chose to forgive her step family.
156
She returned to the royal palace where the overjoyed prince was waiting for her.
157
Soon after, joyful wedding bells rang out across the entire kingdom.
158
Cinderella and the prince were married in a beautiful and grand royal ceremony.
159
Standing together, they promised to love and cherish one another forever.
160
She looks...
161
beautiful.
162
Yeah.
163
Yeah, I guess she does.
164
Even as Queen, Cinderella remained kind and good in every way, always.
165
They lived happily ever after in their castle together.

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。
