1
So, how long have you worked from home?
2
About eight years now.
3
What about you?
4
Only for a couple of months.
5
Why did you decide to work from home?
6
Was it when you had your son?
7
No, I was already working from home when my son was born.
8
Actually, I started working from home as a freelance writer because I got an offer to write a geography book.
9
Before that, I was working as a teacher, but it was really tiring.
10
The writing job wasn't well paid, but it seemed interesting, so I decided to quit teaching and do it.
11
After that project, I applied for other jobs, and luckily the work kept coming.
12
What about you?
13
Oh, I started working from home because the company I worked for was losing money.
14
They had to downsize.
15
A few of my colleagues lost their jobs.
16
The company moved to a smaller building.
17
I could only keep my job if I agreed to work from home, so I did.
18
Do you enjoy it?
19
Not really.
20
I miss chatting to people, joking around, or deciding at the last minute to go for a drink or dinner after work.
21
Just chatting to colleagues, we found things we had in common.
22
I started playing badminton with one girl, and played cards in the evenings with some others,
23
but they've all lost their jobs and moved away now.
24
New people have started work at the company, but I don't get to know them like I did in the past.
25
Yes, I can see that's a problem.
26
Is it the same for you?
27
Not really.
28
As a teacher, I was always too tired or too busy to socialise much with colleagues.
29
Now I'm busy, but not as tired.
30
That means I have enough energy to spend time with people.
31
Of course, I spend time with my family, but I'm also going to an art class at the moment, and I've met a couple of great ladies there,
32
and we often meet up for drinks and chat.
33
Maybe you should do something like that too.
34
Maybe I should.

- 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。colleague, tire, geographyなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。
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。
