Hello and welcome to the English Listening Podcast.
2
Today we will talk about something fun and special – birthdays.
3
Everyone loves birthdays.
4
We have parties, eat cake, get presents and spend time with friends and family.
5
But have you ever wondered why we celebrate birthdays?
6
Where did this tradition come from?
7
Let's find out.
8
A long time ago, people did not celebrate birthdays the way we do today.
9
In ancient times, only important people, like kings and queens, had birthday celebrations.
10
In ancient Egypt, people believed that when a pharaoh had a birthday, he became a god.
11
The ancient Greeks also celebrated birthdays, but for their gods and goddesses.
12
They made round cakes with candles to honour Artemis, the goddess of the moon.
13
Some people say this is where our tradition of birthday cakes with candles comes from.
14
The idea of celebrating everyone's birthday started later.
15
The Romans were one of the first to celebrate the birthdays of ordinary people.
16
Wealthy Roman families held big feasts for their birthdays.
17
But back then, only men had birthday celebrations.
18
Women had to wait many years before they could celebrate their birthdays too.
19
The tradition of birthday cakes became popular in Germany in the 18th century.
20
German children celebrated something called Kinderfest.
21
They had cakes with candles, and each candle represented a year of their life.
22
People believed that the smoke from the candles carried their wishes up to the sky.
23
This is why we still blow out candles and make wishes today.
24
But why do we count birthdays at all?
25
Long ago people used the moon and stars to track time.
26
The first calendars helped people know when the seasons changed.
27
This was very important for farming.
28
Later, people started using calendars to track their own age and that's how birthday counting began.
29
Science also plays a role in birthdays.
30
Many studies show that celebrating birthdays can make people happier.
31
When we celebrate with friends and family, we feel loved and appreciated.
32
This helps us stay positive and healthy.
33
Scientists also say that traditions like birthday celebrations help us remember special moments in life.
34
So why do we celebrate birthdays?
35
Birthdays help us mark time, bring us closer to loved ones and give us a reason to have fun.
36
Whether you have a big party or a small gathering, birthdays are a great way to celebrate life.
37
And remember, every birthday is a new chapter in your story.

이 레슨에 대해
"4 Minutes English Listening Podcast | Level A2 | Why Do We Celebrate Birthdays?"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.
매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.
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.
