Is his mom losing her bibles?

Well, obviously, she wanted to have the party before the move.

I'm not worried.

You shouldn't be worried.

Of course Woody ain't worried.

He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten.

Hey, hey, come on, potato head.

If Woody says it's all right, then, well, darn it, it's good enough for me.

Woody has never steered us wrong before.
51
Come on, guys.
52
Every Christmas and birthday we go through this.
53
But what if Andy gets another dinosaur?
54
A mean one?
55
I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection.
56
Hey, listen.
57
No one's getting replaced.
58
This is Andy we're talking about.
59
It doesn't matter how much we're played with.

What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us.

That's what we're made for, right?

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。
