On Monday, August 22nd, Air Force 2 touched down at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where a full welcome ceremony was underway and the Prime Minister was waiting to greet Vice President Biden.
43
This visit was an important stop for the Vice President.
44
It had been more than six decades since a sitting American Vice President visited Mongolia and 22 years since the Mongolian people embraced democracy.
45
Prime Minister Batbold: Mr. Vice President, there is proverb saying that an old friend is the best friend.
46
Therefore, the visit of the U.S. Vice President to Mongolia after 67 years is certainly an old friend visit for us.
47
I welcome again and wish you a pleasant stay in Mongolia.
48
Narrator: The Vice President later met the President of Mongolia in a ceremonial Ger, an ancient and traditional Mongolian dwelling still used today throughout the country.

52
President Elbegdorj: The design is very ancient, you know.

There was horseracing, throat singing, nonthroat singing, food, traditional Mongolian wrestling, dancing and archery, which the Vice President tried his hand at.
55
Vice President Biden: Wow!
56
Narrator: The Vice President awarded medals to the winners of the day's sporting competitions.
57
And was invited to name a horse before he left; a Mongolian honor of the highest order.
58
Vice President Biden: I'd like to name. Can we name him Celtic?
59
Bystander: Celtic?
60
Vice President Biden: Celtic in honor of my Irish heritage.
61
Bystander: Oh. Good. Very good.
62
Narrator: Bidding goodbye to Mongolia, the Vice President then took off for Japan.
63
Tuesday, August 23rd, the Vice President started in Tokyo traveling first to Kantei, the residence of the Japanese Prime Minister, where the two leaders met and had a working lunch.
64
The Vice President then flew north to the City of Sendai, one of the areas hardest hit by the tsunami last March.
65
Shortly after landing, the Vice President spoke on the second floor of the Sendai Airport where hundreds of residents from nearby neighborhoods fled to escape the tsunami's path.
66
He expressed sympathy, admiration, and continued support from the U.S. as Japan continues to recover and rebuild.
67
Vice President Biden: The American people are also proud and honored by the way they have been able to assist.
68
They're proud to continue doing whatever you would like us to do as you rebuild.
69
And that's because of a simple proposition: It's not because of government-to-government or military-to-military relations; it's because of the genuine affection the American people have for the Japanese people.
70
Narrator: After paying his respects at a memorial site where the town of Natori once stood, the Vice President took a short ride to a temporary housing facility that hundreds of Natori residents now call home.

75
Vice President Biden: Whatever we need done we turn to you.
76
We turn to you like they did here in Japan.
77
Thank you for what you have done for the people of Japan in their time of need and I'm honored to be here today.
78
And I look forward to meeting as many of you that are willing to stick around.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
82
Administrator Robert Willard: It was early in the morning on a Sunday morning, many of the crew were asleep; some of the crew were on watch; but 1177 men were killed in the few -- Vice President Biden: On their way out it sunk?
83
Administrator Robert Willard: -- no, many of them because there was no way out.
84
The ship went down so quickly.
85
We had other ships, the OKLAHOMA that I mentioned earlier, capsized and took 500 or so men with her.
86
But ARIZONA had an unusually large crew complement that as a consequence of the ship's destruction so quickly, were all lost.

Thank you and your spouses for everything you have done and what you continue to do to keep this country safe.

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。
