쉐도잉 연습: 5 hobbies that everyone needs - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

A hobby can be defined as a regular activity that is done for enjoyment.

It's a habit that we get to do

and intentionally curating the hobbies in our life to create a

balanced lifestyle system is one of the most sustainable ways to feel happy, healthy and fulfilled.

If you're new here my name's Izzy, I'm a final year medical student at Cambridge University and on this channel we talk about designing lifestyle systems to stay happy, healthy and efficient while studying.

Let's get right into the video.

A little while ago I came across this idea of separating hobbies into different categories

and this way of thinking about it has really helped me to conceptualise

and evaluate the hobbies that I do have in my life.

So in this video I'm going to talk about five different types of hobbies

that I believe are really important to help us enrich our lives

and I'll also be sharing some of the ways that I've personally tried to implement these in my own life.

This was partly inspired by the quote, find three hobbies that you love, one to make you money, one to keep you in shape, and one to be creative.

And I've added two more categories that I personally believe are really important.

First on the list is a hobby to keep you in shape.

So we all know how important physical exercise is for our well -being,

especially how important exercise is for our body, heart, mind, everything.

But let's be honest, sometimes exercise can really feel like a chore.

So try to find some form of exercise that you really enjoy

and this will make it much more sustainably and seamlessly integrate into your lifestyle.

For example, I once tried to get into running but to be very honest, I hated it.

I'm not sure if it was my mindset, pushing myself too hard, maybe the monotony of running or even just the great British weather,

but I just could not stick to this and almost as soon as I decided on this new habit, I was already skipping out on my running days and I skipped one day,

then two days and eventually just stopped altogether.

Then at one point I tried yoga

and this was a completely different ball game because I really loved this time on my yoga mat, moving mindfully, sweating a little bit and getting in a gentle workout

and I found that there wasn't

that same level of friction to get myself to actually hop on the mat

and do my yoga because I actually wanted to do it

so doing it every single day felt natural it felt good and it's something that I've stuck with to this day.

I think this is a great example of how sometimes I can get hung up on trying to optimize something

and if you're a bit like me sometimes all of the planning

and trying to choose the best kind of exercise for xyz outcome can actually be counterproductive

because at the end of the day what's most important is

actually doing some form of exercise rather than trying to force yourself to do the perfect exercise.

So really try to find something that you genuinely enjoy and hopefully can sustainably do most days of the week.

Second is a hobby to keep you creative.

Having a creative outlet allows us to continually express ourselves

and also it gives us that time and space to really reflect on our own lives.

It gives us a great reason to really create

that space for challenging ourselves and creating those unique connections between ideas

and creativity also invites us to look for the beauty and magic in the day -to -day.

Ever since I was little I've really loved music

but I never really dedicated a lot of time to actually exploring these creative outlets.

This was especially because I was absolutely terrible at art class in school.

I generally felt very untalented and pretty rubbish at actual art classes.

But over the years, I've started dabbling with a bit more amateur photography, more music, journaling, and now making these videos since I started this channel.

I'd find myself making specific time for each of these creative pursuits.

For example, planning a trip to the Botanic Garden to take photos of all the flowers and plants there,

or maybe blocking out some time to play music and sing.

I've really found that just simply making the space to be creative and that process of creation, it's actually really worthwhile in its own right just for ourselves.

And I feel like it's something that's actually helped me to understand myself better.

Thirdly, a hobby to make you money.

Find a job that you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

This quote is getting at the fact that if a work feels like play, then it doesn't really count as work anymore.

If you enjoy at least one of the ways that you make money, whether that's your day job or your side hustle or something else entirely,

then it will likely feel less like work and more like play, which means that you'll naturally just love doing it more

and you're more likely to be naturally good at it simply because you really enjoy it.

As a medical student, I love being in the clinical environment, interacting and talking with colleagues and patients.

And I really hope that this enjoyment will transfer over to the actual job when I start working as a junior doctor.

in just under a year's time.

For me over the years I've also dabbled in various ways of making money on the side from pool lifeguarding

and working as head bar person at my college bar to tutoring, science and maths and even teaching English as a foreign language.

I've kind of done a few different jobs

and I can tell you with 100 % confidence that the ones

that I enjoyed the most were the ones that I really got the most out of and like really stuck with.

Now for number four, which is my own addition.

And I think that having a hobby to grow your mind is so important.

I personally love learning new things or like new perspectives all the time.

And having a hobby that encourages us to keep on learning

and keep evolving our mindset means that we can always find something new from life

and keep leveling up towards becoming the version of ourselves that we really want to be.

Learning also keeps our brains young and reminds us

that the world is a place that is full of almost endless possibilities and opportunities, helping us to develop that growth mindset.

I love reading books and listening to podcasts, and this is probably the biggest way that I have continued to learn new things and new perspectives throughout my life,

just beyond actual formal study, which for me would be medicine.

So beyond that, books and podcasts have really expanded the way that I think.

One book that I've read in the last year

that I would highly recommend to anyone is In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park, who escaped from North Korea.

And she tells her story of all the things she had to do and sacrifice in order to live.

And I really think that everyone should read this book.

It genuinely changed my worldview on privilege and gratitude.

I've also found that regular meditation has really helped me to evolve my mindset

and the way that I interact with the world.

And I've actually made a whole video about meditation and my experience with it.

So feel free to check it out somewhere over here.

And finally, number five is a hobby to stay connected.

And this is something that has been so, so important over the last year because in today's world, it's so easy to feel disconnected.

And especially since the COVID pandemic started and we've been through more than a year's worth of lockdowns,

I think it's so crucial to have some way to stay connected with the people around you.

Having a hobby that allows you to stay connected with

or serve others is so important for our psychological well -being and happiness and also our sense of belonging and fulfilment.

This can be via joining clubs or societies,

volunteering, perhaps having a weekly scheduled activity with friends or even just having a habit of regularly connecting with other people,

for example with weekly check -ins.

I know that in the last year I've personally sometimes felt a little bit isolated

and maintaining that connection with others has genuinely helped me to stay grounded

when I've been feeling not so great about things during lockdown.

So that's why I've added this one onto the list as well.

100

So overall in each of these five categories there are loads of different hobbies and activities that you could choose.

101

I'd love to hear what sort of hobbies you're including in your own life

102

일상에서의 취미, 영어로 어떻게 이야기할까?

우리 모두 취미에 대해 이야기할 때가 있죠. 특히 영어로 "취미가 뭐예요?"라고 물어볼 때, 자연스럽게 답하기 위해선 실제 대화에서 사용되는 표현을 익히는 게 중요해요. 이번 영상에서는 "5가지 필수 취미"에 대해 이야기하는데, 그 안에 일상 영어 회화에 자주 쓰이는 구문들이 많아요. 영상 영어 공부를 하면서 이런 실용적인 표현을 습득하면, 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 될 거예요.

유용한 표현과 콜로케이션

"intentionally curating the hobbies": "의도적으로 취미를 선별하다" – 취미를 단순히 하기보다 계획적으로 선택한다는 뜻으로, 라이프스타일을 설계할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
"sustainably integrate into your lifestyle": "지속 가능하게 라이프스타일에 통합하다" – 운동이나 취미를 오래坚持할 수 있게 하는 방법을 이야기할 때 유용합니다.
"creative outlet": "창의적 통로" – 감정을 표현하거나 창의력을 발휘할 수 있는 방법을 뜻하며, 예술, 음악, 글쓰기 등을 이야기할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
"dabbling with": "약간 손대다, 시도하다" – 새로운 취미를 처음 시작할 때 "I'm dabbling with painting"처럼 사용해요.

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.
