쉐도잉 연습: 15 Comparing Things - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Recording 11 The Olympics is probably the most exciting event in the sports calendar.

It's one of the few opportunities we get to see some of the best athletes in the world competing against each other.

And amazingly, each year they seem to be getting better and better.

So you might imagine that the Masters Games, which is for athletes aged 30 and over, would be less exciting to watch.

Well, this may not be true for long, because recent studies have shown that older athletes are getting faster and fitter.

Now, it's true they're not as fast as their younger counterparts, and probably younger runners will always be faster than older runners.

However, runners aged 50 and over are actually speeding up more rapidly than younger people.

The researchers analyzed the finishing times of 415 ,000 runners in the New York Marathon between 1983 and 1999,

and discovered that finishers from the older group showed the greatest increases in speed.

Interestingly, women aged 60 to 68 improved the most markedly, running on average four minutes faster each year.

Men of the same age ran just over one minute faster than previously.

Not only that, a second study proved

that older athletes can achieve the same degree of physical improvement as those in their 20s and 30s.

In other words, they are just as likely to achieve their peak fitness as younger athletes.

25 years ago, few 60 -year -old men and even fewer women would have considered it possible to complete a marathon,

let alone set record running times.

The researchers concluded that people grow weaker not simply because of age, but because they don't keep as active as they did when they were younger.

It would seem that the longer athletes keep competing, the greater their chances of setting new records are.

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
