쉐도잉 연습: 5 "Impossible" Things That Can Happen On Other Planets - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

There are some things that are just not possible on our planet.

It would certainly be understandable that you would think that if it's impossible here on Earth, then it would be impossible everywhere else in the universe.

But that's simply not the case, and the universe is far stranger than any of us can actually believe.

Let's begin with shadows.

Your shadow on Earth is always alone

and you're always used to seeing it this way as it follows you around during the day.

You're also used to seeing everybody else with just one shadow, but this isn't a universal thing that would be experienced elsewhere.

You have one shadow because our primary light source on Earth is our sun.

But what would happen if there were two suns?

A planet that orbits two stars would look much like Tatooine from Star Wars, with two brilliant sunsets each day and two shadows instead of one for each person.

It used to only be science fiction until the planet Kepler -16b was discovered, which is a place that orbits two different stars.

If you were suddenly teleported to the surface of the planet, you would likely die from the extreme temperatures and lack of air to breathe, but assuming that you were teleported in a suit that could help you survive,

then you would experience having two different shadows, a friend for your always lonely shadow that you experience on Earth.

Our next extremely bizarre place is a planet that is likely completely covered in water, an ocean planet named GJ 1214 b.

The planet is several times larger than the Earth, which makes the Pacific Ocean on our planet seem like a puddle in comparison.

Even though water covers over 70 % of the Earth's surface, water only accounts for 0 .05 % of the Earth's total mass.

On GJ 1214 b, however, water may account for up to 10 % of the planet's total mass,

planet would be covered in an ocean hundreds of kilometers deep.

Our own ocean goes down only a mere 11 kilometers,

and we already have terrifying monsters like this and this or huge whales like this So,

one's imagination can run absolutely wild with what fantastical monsters could

exist in an ocean that's over ten times deeper than our own.

Who knows what could be lurking there if you crash -landed your ship on the surface, but what is known is that at the very bottom of this massive ocean, hundreds of kilometers beneath the surface,

The pressure would be so intense

that the water at the bottom would be transformed into an exotic form of ice known as ice Seven.

This ice wouldn't be like ice that you know on Earth it wouldn't be cold at all, but would remain in a solid form.

This doesn't happen naturally on Earth, but neither does our next bizarre example.

Weather on Earth is often violent and unpredictable, but it's extremely tame compared to other places in the universe.

Take the planet C -O -R -O -T -7 -B for example, where instead of raining water, it rains down rocks.

This is because half of the planet is scorching hot at 2 ,600 degrees Celsius, while the other half is far cooler at 177 degrees Celsius.

so too will rocks condense into rock clouds on this planet.

These strange rock clouds will then rain liquid rock or magma back onto the surface.

But since the atmosphere is cooler the further up it goes and the temperature on the cool side is far lower, the magma rain will often harden into rocks before striking the ground.

This planet seems like the closest place to hell that a place in the universe could get, but another planet has perhaps even more bizarre weather.

This planet, known as HD 189773 b, is located 63 light years away from us, is a little larger than Jupiter,

and looks stunningly beautiful from space, but that beauty is hiding a terrifying secret.

It looks this way because the planet's atmosphere is made up primarily of silicate particles.

Winds on the planet can scream at 5 ,400 miles per hour, equal to 2 kilometers every second, or seven times the speed of sound.

Temperatures can soar up to 930 degrees Celsius,

but most terrifying of all is that the planet rains glass, sideways in its extremely violent 2km /s winds.

This is so fast and scary that if a storm like that happened to appear on Earth,

it would travel across the entire planet at the equator in just 5 hours and 33 minutes, and leave behind a shredded trail of glass.

But even this storm pales in comparison to the mightiest wind so far known in our entire universe, the wind on the planet HD 189733 b.

degrees Celsius, but the temperature on the dark side is still very hot at 688 degrees Celsius.

So, how does the dark side remain so hot still?

The answer is extremely, wickedly fast wind, possibly up to 22 ,000 miles per hour, equal to 10 kilometers per second,

or nearly 29 times the speed of sound.

For reference, the fastest ever recorded wind on the earth happened during a tornado in Oklahoma back in 1999,

and that was only 301 miles per hour

or 73 times less than the nightmare storm on this giant that's raging right now as you are watching this video.

If you made yourself a kite and flew through the wind, then you could zip around the entire Earth in a mere one hour and eight minutes.

But perhaps the most interesting place is somewhere that's much closer to home, specifically this place called Titan, which is a moon of Saturn.

It has such a thick atmosphere that we didn't even know what its surface looked like until 2005, which if you're curious it looks like this.

But Titan is a very bizarre place.

It has an atmosphere, rivers, and lakes, and it even rains like on Earth.

But the temperature is a bone -shattering negative 179 degrees Celsius,

which is so cold that water is as hard as rocks and the chemical methane exists in a liquid state.

The clouds, rivers, and lakes on the moon are made of methane, which is the primary component of natural gas.

Only 20 % of Titan's surface has ever been mapped, but it is estimated that in that region alone,

there is hundreds of times more natural gas and oil than is located on all of Earth.

There is so much gas on Titan that it literally rains it.

It's an oil tycoon's dream, and maybe the best way to encourage space travel is to let a few countries know about Titan.

But even more strange, you could actually theoretically fly on Titan.

The atmosphere is thick enough and the gravity is weak enough

that if you attached a pair of wings to your arms and made a running jump, then you could actually flap around the moon like a bird, taking in all the alien sights of rivers and lakes.

Of course you would need a suit to protect yourself, but still, you could fly just like in your dreams and achieve something that's impossible here on Earth.

연습 팁

이 영상의 내용을 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는 영어 쉐도잉(Shadowing) 연습을 추천합니다. 영상의 속도와 톤을 고려하여 다음과 같은 팁을 따라 해보세요:

처음에는 화면을 눈으로 따라가며 귀로 내용을 들어보세요. 이해가 되었다면 잠시 멈추고, 배운 표현을 소리 내어 말해보세요.
특히 흥미로운 부분이나 복잡한 표현에서는 반복적으로 듣고 따라 해보세요. 예를 들어, "two shadows"라는 표현을 연습하면서 강조하는 부분을 파악하는 것이 좋습니다.
영상의 진행 속도가 빠른 경우, 느린 속도로 재생하여 발음을 정확하게 익히는 것도 좋습니다. 이후 점차 원래 속도로 되돌리세요.
영어 스피킹(IELTS 스피킹) 시험을 준비하는 수험생이라면, 이 과정에서 연습한 어휘를 활용하여 대화형 형식으로 응답하는 연습도 도움이 됩니다.

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.
