Lena, Leo, I'm home.

Hi, Mom.

Leo, can you help me bring this water bottle pack?

Mom, not now.

Why?

I'm in the middle of a game.

If I stop now, I'll lose.

Lena, can you help me carry these vegetables to the kitchen?

Mom, please, I'm busy right now.

It will only take one minute.

I'm replying to an important message.

Okay.

Alright. So much work left.

Lina, can you help me fold these clothes?

Mom, I said I'm busy.

Okay.

Level complete!

Yes!

Hello?

I'll be late today.

I have extra work.

Okay.

Did the kids help you?

It's okay.

I managed.

I'm thirsty. Is that mom?

Mom?

Lena, why are you awake?

I came to drink water.

But what are you doing?

Just finishing some work.

You're still working?

Yes. Since evening?

More or less.

Mom, it's midnight.

I know.

Aren't you tired?

Very tired.

Then why didn't you rest?

Because tomorrow morning there will be more More work.

Breakfast, cleaning, packing lunch, laundry.

Mom, why didn't you ask me again?

I did ask.

You seemed busy.

I was just using my phone.

That wasn't important.

It's okay.

Go back to sleep.

But you're still working alone.

I'm used to it.

Used to it?

Mom, do you do this every day?

Almost every day.

Mom slept so late, but she's already working again.

Good morning.

Why are you cooking already?

Breakfast won't make itself.

Mom, you should rest.

I'm fine.

Good morning.

Good morning, Leo.

I'm hungry.

Breakfast is almost ready.

Mom!

I'm okay.

Mom, sit down.

What happened?

Dad, Mom almost fell.

Are you feeling dizzy?

Just a little. Since when? Since morning.

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't want everyone to worry.

Mom, you worked all night.

All night?

Yes.

What, Mom?

You didn't sleep?

Only a little.

This is too much.

You're overworking yourself.

This happened because of us.

We ignored her.

Kids, your mother carries so much every day.

Sometimes we only notice when she becomes weak.

It's okay.

Mom, I'm sorry too.

My silly children.

What have I done?

Mom needed me, and I ignored her.

Busy, busy doing what?

This?

This was more important than mom?

Mom was carrying everything alone.

Cooking.

Cleaning.

Washing.

Taking care of all of us.

100

I saw only what mom did for us.

101

I never saw how tired she was.

102

Lena?

103

Come in.

104

Are you crying?

105

Yes.

106

I feel terrible.

107

Same.

108

I thought mom was always strong.

109

She is strong.

110

That's why we forgot she gets tired too.

111

Dad was right. About what?

112

We noticed only when mom became weak.

113

That hurts the most.

114

What do we do now?

115

We change.

116

Change?

117

Yes, starting tomorrow.

118

We help mom.

119

Not tomorrow.

120

Huh?

121

Starting today.

122

First, breakfast.

123

Second, cleaning.

124

Third, no burning the kitchen.

125

That sounds difficult.

126

Soft me. Is this enough sugar?

127

That's too much.

128

Oops.

129

Wow.

130

We did all this?

131

Imagine mom doing this every day.

132

Mom is amazing.

133

She really is.

134

What are you writing?

135

Something for mom.

136

Dear mom, thank you for everything you do for us.

137

We are sorry we didn't understand your hard work.

138

139

140

141

142

We do now.

143

Looks like I missed something emotional.

144

Family upgrade.

145

I can see that.

146

Mom, can we walk a little slower?

147

I want to look around.

148

Yes, Lena, but don't stop too often.

149

It is getting late.

150

I know, Mom.

151

I just like watching the shops and lights.

152

Mom, please wait for a moment.

153

What happened, Lena?

154

Why did you stop suddenly?

155

Look at that dress in the window.

156

It looks so beautiful.

157

Mom, just imagine.

158

If I wear this dress, I will look so pretty.

159

It is a nice dress, Lina.

160

The design looks very elegant.

161

I really love the color and the style is also different.

162

Mom, can we please buy it?

163

I feel like I really want this dress.

164

Lina, tell me one thing honestly.

165

Do you need this dress right now?

166

I don't need it, but I want it very much.

167

You already have many dresses at home.

168

Some of them are still new.

169

But not like this one.

170

This one feels special.

171

Wanting something special is normal, but we must think before buying.

172

Mom, please, just this one time.

173

I will take care of it properly.

174

Lena, buying is not only about liking something.

175

It is about need and value.

176

So you will not buy it for me?

177

Not today, Lena.

178

We will buy things when they are truly needed.

179

Okay.

180

It was really beautiful.

181

The house feels so quiet now.

182

I don't know why I feel like this.

183

It was just a dress.

184

But when I saw it, I felt so happy inside.

185

It was shining in the light.

186

It looked so perfect.

187

If I wear that dress, everyone will look at me.

188

Maybe I will look more beautiful.

189

made me more confident.

190

Then why did mom say no so quickly?

191

Does she not understand how much I liked it?

192

Maybe mom does not love me as much as I think.

193

No, that is not true.

194

But why does it feel like that?

195

I did not ask for too many things.

196

I only asked for one dress.

197

Everyone else gets new things.

198

Why not me?

199

Maybe I am not important.

200

Mom!

201

Look what I bought today.

202

I finally got these new shoes.

203

Oh, wow, Alex.

204

Those shoes look very nice.

205

The design is really good.

206

Yes, Mom.

207

I needed them for my practice.

208

My old shoes were completely worn out. That makes sense.

209

Good that you bought them at the right time.

210

They look really new and stylish.

211

Lena, do you like them?

212

They are very comfortable, too.

213

Yes, they look nice.

214

He got something new.

215

When I asked for a dress, Mom said no. Hey, Mel.

216

Lena, what are you thinking about?

217

You look quiet again.

218

Nothing, Mom.

219

I am just sitting. Did something happen?

220

You don't look happy today.

221

I saw a dress today.

222

I really liked it.

223

Then why didn't you buy it?

224

Mom said I already have many dresses.

225

Oh, I see.

226

You got new shoes?

227

Yes, because I really needed them.

228

My old shoes were not usable anymore.

229

Needed.

230

Maybe that is the difference.

231

Lina, you are sitting very quietly today.

232

Is everything okay?

233

Yes, Dad, I am okay.

234

You don't look okay.

235

You can tell me what is on your mind.

236

Dad, I saw a beautiful dress today.

237

I really wanted it.

238

Hmm, that sounds interesting.

239

What happened then?

240

I asked mom to buy it, but she said no. Did she tell you the reason?

241

She said I already have many dresses.

242

That sounds like a thoughtful reason.

243

But dad, Alex bought new shoes today.

244

Yes, I saw that.

245

His old shoes were completely worn out.

246

So for him it was okay, but for me it was not Lena,

247

there is a small difference between the two situations What difference, Dad?

248

Alex bought shoes because he needed them His old ones were not usable anymore And my dress?

249

You wanted the dress because you liked it Not because you needed it There is nothing wrong with liking beautiful things.

250

But we must learn when to say yes and when to wait.

251

So, Mom was not wrong.

252

Not at all.

253

She was trying to teach you something important.

254

I think I understand now.

255

Good.

256

Learning this at your age is very special.

257

I was only thinking about what I wanted.

258

And now you are thinking about what is right. That is growth.

259

Lena, what are you doing?

260

You look very calm today.

261

I am just reading, Dad.

262

I feel better now.

263

I have something for you. For me?

264

What is it, Dad?

265

Open it and see.

266

Dad, this is the same dress.

267

The one I saw yesterday.

268

Ah, yes.

269

I went back to the shop today.

270

But Dad, you said we should not buy things without need. That is true.

271

But sometimes, we can also buy something to bring a smile.

272

You bought it for me.

273

Yes, but not because you cried. Because you understood.

274

Thank you, Dad.

275

I really like it.

276

Lena, now tell me honestly.

277

How do you feel?

278

I feel happy, but also different.

279

What do you mean?

280

Before, I wanted the dress just because I liked it.

281

And now I understand why we should wait and think.

282

That is the most important part.

283

And now you got the dress after learning something valuable.

284

Yes, this dress feels more special now.

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。
