46
It is very important to make a great impression on him.

Since cleanness is a critical factor when it comes to the restaurant business, I would like you all to stay a little late tonight after business hours to clean the restaurant.

I will make sure that you get paid overtime.

7. Here is a graph that shows our market shares in different regions of the country.
52
You can see that one of our regions occupies a very small market share.
53
This problem stands out since the other three regions are doing a lot better this year.
54
I am so sorry to announce this, but we have finally decided to close down the operations in the region where sales are much lower than the other regions.
55
This decision was inevitable due to the increase in labor costs and the increased competition in the market.
56
For those of you who have been working in this region, we will make every effort to minimize the damage that could possibly happen to you.
57
8. Welcome to this special gathering in honor of Dr. Thomas Joyce,
58
who is leaving the Seattle Medical Center after 30 years of employment.

While we are very sad to see Dr. Joyce leave, tonight is about celebrating his service and the growth that he has brought to the organization.
60
As we all know, he started his medical career here
61
and had been working as the director of the Organ Donation Center for 10 years.
62
Now that he is stepping down, he is planning to continue his career by teaching students at the Seattle Medical School.

Thank you.

シャドーイングのステップバイステップガイド

このビデオを使って英語シャドーイングを行うには、以下の手順がおすすめです。まず、ビデオを1回聴き、全体的な内容を理解しましょう。次に、1文ずつ止めながら、発音やイントネーションを真似て繰り返します。shadowspeaksやshadow speakのように、すぐに続けて発声することで、自然なリズムを身につけることができます。特に、"extra 30 minutes"や"exceptional work"などの連続した単語の発音に注意して、英語の発音を良くすることが重要です。最後に、ビデオを再生しながら、スピーカーと同じタイミングで話すことで、流暢さを養いましょう。繰り返し練習することで、日常会話での応答速度も上がり、自信をつけることができます。

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。
