Hi Dahlia, how are you?
2
Hello Stephanie, I'm very well, how are you doing?
3
Yes, I'm very well, thank you.
4
Trying to keep warm with my electric blanket because it's freezing today.
5
Oh, I have mine on my lap too.
6
Yes, it's necessary I think in this weather.
7
Although this weather does make me kind of want to hibernate in the house and not go anywhere.
8
What about you?
9
Absolutely, that's why I've turned into a bit of a potato.
10
No you haven't.
11
Well I will do, ask me in spring.
12
I'm definitely going to turn into a potato over the Christmas season coming up.
13
Um, but yes, you know, tis the season, right?
14
Tis the season to be fat.
15
To be fat, yes.
16
Which brings us into our subject of the day, which is basically, well, not being fat, ideally being healthy and going to the gym and exercising and all of that stuff.
17
Hopefully.
18
So as usual, guys, listen out for any useful words and phrases, which you're going to come back to at the end of this episode.
19
Yes episode and just so students are aware becoming a potato is not an idiom
20
no that's not a british expression it's just yeah just a dahlia ism i like it um
21
so obviously we both work from home
22
and um most most of our colleagues do as well a
23
lot of people in the uk are working from home after
24
the pandemic yeah um how do you still keep in shape Well, that's the million dollar question.
25
I love swimming, but I don't know about you, but I find swimming is a little bit harder than going for a run,
26
for example, because it's much more of a big deal.
27
You have to have a lot more stuff and you have to have a shower and it takes longer.
28
And then is your hair wet?
29
You have to think about that.
30
And when you've got lovely long hair like you, yes, it's a whole thing.
31
I understand take your swimming cap and then if you forget your swimming cap and then if it breaks and
32
see these are all just excuses who likes a swimming hat i mean literally
33
so swimming caps are the worst you just end up looking like a complete egghead you do
34
but it's worth it
35
because whenever i see other people's hair in the pool i'm
36
like no no no no no oh you mean floating around yeah
37
that is kind of disgusting and it's aerodynamic apparently oh really well yes i guess it would be
38
yeah um I think top swimmers
39
and stuff don't they like shave every element every part of
40
their body yeah yeah yeah to be a bit fast yeah I mean I'm not an Olympic swimmer
41
so I think swimming cap
42
or no swimming cap I'm still going to be one of the slowest yes neither am I um
43
but I do like swimming um and I think
44
that it's quite popular in the UK yeah um especially you know when we're
45
when young our parents often take us for swimming lessons in
46
a swimming pool it's kind of a very common kind of thing
47
when you have children and well you know I go swimming sometimes at my local gym
48
and I see people of all ages in the pool um
49
including older ladies um especially kind of aqua class i don't know
50
if that's a thing in korea
51
but um doing um kind of like a like a dance class
52
or aerobics class
53
but in the water yeah um it's quite funny have you
54
ever done it i have have you yeah i thought it was just uh you know for old ladies
55
and it was gentle i did it once or twice and it was actually really hard
56
oh really because of the resistance of the water yeah
57
but that's the good thing about it you don't feel like you're sweating
58
so much right but you must be because you're the resistance
59
and everything are you thinking about the sweat in the pool I knew you were going to say that so it's alright
60
and my students say that we've had quite a few conversations about this
61
that it's the same in Korea that you always get the little old ladies trying not to get their perms wet
62
swimming gently and slowly.
63
Yeah, exactly.
64
Well, I mean, swimming is quite a low impact sport, isn't it, really?
65
It's quite gentle on the body.
66
So I get why older people would want to do that.
67
So, yeah, it's a great way to keep fit, but it does involve a lot of, yeah.
68
I mean, equipment, I guess, having your goggles, your hat, your towel, blah, blah, blah.
69
But also, like, I don't know about you, but in this sort of cold weather, I feel a bit scared, not scared, but apprehensive, let's say.
70
Yeah, psychologically.
71
About getting in.
72
Yeah, when you're at home on your sofa, the idea of getting into a big pool of water is...
73
Yeah, it's the last thing you want to do, right?
74
Yeah, but we all live sedentary lifestyles now, so we have to make even more of an effort.
75
Exactly, exactly, yeah.
76
And if you are kind of fond of having a beer once in a while, you know, or something like that, if you don't want to get a beer belly,
77
then, yeah, you kind of have to do these things, I suppose.
78
Absolutely.
79
Do some sit-ups.
80
That's right.
81
That's right.
82
So lots of my students go to the gym.
83
I think that seems to be, you know, a popular thing, like either with a personal trainer or maybe they just, you know, go to the gym regularly.
84
But I'm always very impressed by my students, because the ones who do go to the gym,
85
they go, they tell me that they go for like a minimum of like an hour and a half or something.
86
And these are the same people that work till like 9pm, and I'm like, how do you sleep?
87
Do you, how do you have time to clean your house and
88
ring your mom yeah all those little in between things
89
and scroll on Instagram and stuff right where's where's your time for that yeah
90
but I think a lot of my students tend to stay
91
up quite late yeah I think that's they all sacrifice sleep
92
I think that's the that's a common I don't know
93
if that's a culture cultural difference I mean obviously people are you know different in general But I mean, I don't know if that's a cultural thing,
94
because a lot of my Korean students who I've taught at BritScent, they seem to go to bed very late and wake up quite early for work.
95
Yeah.
96
But I do like my eight hours, if I can.
97
I'll try and get my eight hours of sleep.
98
I think it's a modern thing, isn't it?
99
And it's an age thing, often it's kind of hustle culture, if you will.
100
But also there is actually a listening, which I sometimes give for homework on six minute English.
101
I think it's called Sleepless in Seoul.
102
According to some studies, Korea is the country where people sleep the least.
103
I have heard that, actually.
104
Yeah.
105
That's why the pali pali culture, like quickly, quickly.
106
That's how everything gets done.
107
That's how you get your internet connected on the same day.
108
That would never happen in the UK.
109
People get their glasses on the same day, apparently, in Korea.
110
What you mean they have their eyes tested?
111
Get your glasses on the same day.
112
Wow.
113
Crazy, eh?
114
The last time I did that, which was about a year ago, I remember I had to wait three weeks, something, to collect my glasses.
115
Yeah.
116
Yeah.
117
If any of you are thinking of moving to the UK, guys, just leave that, what's it called, pali pali culture?
118
Yeah.
119
Leave it at home because it doesn't exist yet, I'm afraid.
120
Some students have said that they've realised that, having come to the UK that they're quite impatient but some of them have said it's been beneficial
121
because it's actually been very nice to slow down a bit really yeah yeah I can stop
122
and smell the roses yeah yeah I can get
123
that I think I was I on the up in you
124
know in the opposite situation I would find it quite difficult I think
125
if I was to move to a country um where everything
126
was much faster than it is here I think I'd find it a little bit scary you say
127
that but if you could get your, you know, apparently in Korea you can order your food, like you can order stuff the night before, as long as it's before 11.30pm, you can get it at like 6 in the morning.
128
Now that is efficiency right there.
129
See, you wouldn't be complaining about that.
130
No, I wouldn't be complaining about that.
131
No, no, no. No, only if I was the one who was expected to deliver by 6 in the morning.
132
That would never happen.
133
Well.
134
Yeah.
135
Well, should we go back to our words and phrases from today?
136
Okay, so I think one of the ones we said a couple of times was sedentary, which is a great adjective.
137
Yes.
138
Sedentary.
139
It often goes with the word lifestyle, but it could also go with the word job or occupation as well.
140
Yeah.
141
So what does sedentary mean?
142
It means spending a lot of time sitting down basically.
143
Yeah basically yeah.
144
So you could say for example
145
because I have a sedentary job I try to I try to go to the gym more regularly.
146
I like the word try there.
147
I try to, yeah I didn't want to say I don't.
148
And another example you could say yeah a sedentary lifestyle isn't healthy.
149
Indeed.
150
What was the next one?
151
Beer belly.
152
Beer belly, yes.
153
And it means a very fat stomach, especially one caused by drinking a lot of beer over a long period
154
but the thing about a beer belly is
155
that someone can be relatively slim right yeah they can be kind of in shape
156
but then they've just got this randomly large belly yes you know
157
when i think of a beer belly i always think of homer simpson yeah yeah
158
so of course this phrase is uh informal
159
and we could say he's only 20 but he's already got a beer belly
160
or we can say not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly
161
which is very true that's actually a very good observation
162
that is true just like the
163
that is true women in the skincare adverts are all like 20
164
and they've got perfect skin anyway
165
so why do you need yeah yeah why do you need
166
anti-wrinkle yeah yeah i guess their argument would be it's
167
because I'm using this product yeah I don't know what the
168
be the men could say in the beer commercials though like yeah don't drink beer don't drink beer
169
if you want to look like me yeah
170
okay the last one our final phrase is to stay
171
or keep in shape and we use this for people
172
and it basically means to stay or to get in good physical condition
173
so you're fit basically physically fit
174
so you could say you don't have to spend a fortune on gym membership to stay in shape
175
or in the dead of winter die-hard swimmers use this pool
176
to keep in shape indeed there we go all right well I promised myself
177
that I would be going to the gym later on today.
178
So now I've said it on air, I'm going to have to go on time. On air.
179
Immortalised.
180
Yeah.
181
It's immortalising this recording.
182
Checking on you next week.
183
Yeah, exactly.
184
Have a lovely rest of the evening.
185
You two and I will see you then for our next episode.
186
Bye-bye.

실생활 시나리오: 겨울 날씨와 운동 이야기
영국인 두 사람이 겨울 추위에 대해 이야기하다가 크리스마스 전에 살이 찔까 봐 걱정하며 운동과 헬스, 수영에 대한 이야기를 나누는 대화입니다. 집에서 일하는 현대인의 일상과 운동 습관, 수영 시 필요한 준비물 등을 자연스럽게 논의하면서, 일상 대화에서 자주 사용되는 표현과 어휘를 배울 수 있습니다. 이런 실제적인 상황에서의 대화는 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 매우 유용합니다.
외워두면 좋은 표현과 어휘 조합
- "turn into a potato": '감자처럼 둥글게 살이 찌다'는 뜻으로, 가볍게 자신의 체형 변화를 표현할 때 사용합니다. 예: "I might turn into a potato over the holidays."
- "a big deal": '큰 일', '복잡한 일'을 뜻하며, 무언가를 할 때 번거로움이 많다는 뜻으로 씁니다. 예: "Swimming is a big deal because I need to prepare a lot of stuff."
- "tis the season": '이 시즌에는'이라는 뜻으로, 특정 계절이나 기간에 맞는 일을 설명할 때 사용합니다. 예: "Tis the season to be jolly!"
- "a million dollar question": '아주 중요한 질문', '어려운 질문'을 뜻하며, 누구나 궁금해하는 질문에 대해 사용합니다. 예: "How to stay healthy is a million dollar question."
당신의 쉐도잉 챌린지
영어 쉐도잉(shadowing) 연습은 발음과 리듬, 억양을 익히는 가장 효과적인 방법 중 하나입니다. 이 대화에서 "I love swimming, but I don't know about you, but I find swimming is a little bit harder than going for a run, for example, because it's much more of a big deal."라는 부분을 선택해 다음과 같이 연습해 보세요. 먼저 동영상을 1~2번 듣고, 그 직후에 같은 속도와 억양으로 따라 말합니다. 이때 목소리 높이와 강약을 최대한 비슷하게 맞춰보세요. shadowing site에서도 비슷한 연습을 할 수 있지만, 이 대화를 직접 사용해도 좋습니다. 하루에 5분씩 3일 연습하면 분명 발음이 자연스러워질 것입니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹에서는 자연스러운 흐름이 중요하므로, shadow speech 기술을 잘 익혀두세요.

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.
