1
Do you like celebrating your birthday?
2
When I was a kid,
3
birthdays were a really big deal.
4
My parents would always make me and my siblings feel really special on our birthdays.
5
My mom would make our favorite meal
6
and she would also make a huge cake and our whole family would come over to celebrate together.
7
I come from a relatively big family,
8
so sometimes birthdays felt like the only day you could get all the attention you were craving
9
and it was always something to look forward to.
10
But now with each year that I get older,
11
I feel like my birthday is more of a day for self-reflection and looking back at the past year in my life.
12
What did I accomplish?
13
Did I do everything I wanted to do?
14
If 10-year-old me could look at myself now,
15
would she be proud of me or even think that I was cool?
16
This past year, I really pushed myself to do things I never thought I would have been able to do.
17
and I think a big reason for why I was able to do them was
18
because I started to become more independent and I also gained more self-confidence.
19
From sharing my stories online,
20
I found that there were a lot of people who had experiences very similar to mine,
21
and even though I might not have that many people around me in real life,
22
it just felt really good to know that people could relate to me or that people even liked watching my videos.
23
When I started to express how introverted and shy I am online,
24
a lot of people started commenting and saying
25
that people who are really shy or really introverted wouldn't even dare to post these kinds of videos online.
26
And that was the case for me in the beginning.
27
When I first started making these videos,
28
I would just open my camera on my phone
29
and just stare at myself without even being able to say a single word
30
because I literally felt so embarrassed and so self-conscious.
31
I even used to be way too nervous to even hold my phone up in public
32
and record myself or even the things around me but the more
33
that i pushed myself to do this i started to feel less
34
and less awkward and actually i found that this is a perfect way for me to express myself.
35
Because in real life, not everyone has the patience to fully listen to all of my ideas
36
or to listen to how I'm feeling.
37
And sometimes I don't even know how to communicate to other people how I'm feeling.
38
But once I found my own way of expressing myself,
39
I started to understand myself more and I started gaining confidence in everything that I do do.
40
So when I reflect on this past year in my life,
41
I feel like I've been able to gain a lot more confidence and independence,
42
and I've also been better at adapting to all the changes around me.
43
A year ago, I had just moved to a new city,
44
and it was a really hard time for me because I didn't know anybody there,
45
and I was feeling really lonely all the time.
46
And also within the first week of moving,
47
there were so many instances of people being not very friendly towards me,
48
like the time that I was struggling to get my car out of a parking spot
49
and there was just a group of girls outside of my car pointing at me
50
and laughing at me instead of actually trying to help me.
51
And if that had happened to my old self,
52
I would have been really depressed and really upset for a long time.
53
But over time, as I've grown up,
54
I've slowly come to realize that I can't control what other people do or say,
55
but I can control how I react and how I let things affect me.
56
And the most important thing is that I'm doing things
57
that I feel proud of and living a life that makes me happy.
58
And I do feel proud of myself for how far I've come in my journey of self-improvement.
59
And now here I am a year later,
60
I've just moved to another city again,
61
and I have so many things that I want to accomplish and share with all of you.
62
I want to encourage people to follow their dreams and find their passions in life,
63
even when other people tell you that you can't.
64
I think instead of believing other people when they tell us this,
65
we can use it as inspiration to make ourselves better and prove them wrong.
66
And you never know what you can accomplish if you never try.

練習のヒント
動画のスピードは自然でリズミカルですので、英語シャドーイングを行う際には、最初はゆっくりとしたペースで練習することをお勧めします。shadow speechを取り入れて、登場人物の感情やトーンを真似することで、よりリアルな英会話が可能になります。また、少しずつスピードを上げて、元のスピードに慣れていくと良いでしょう。日常の会話でも使われるフレーズに注目すると、英語の発音を良くするための具体的なヒントが得られます。最後に、他の学習者と成果を共有し、お互いにフィードバックをもらうことで、shadowspeakのスキルが向上します。
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。
