1
Thank you.
2
Thank you.
3
you Our minds are some of the busiest places in the known universe.
4
It's estimated that under a deceptively calm exterior,
5
some 70 ,000 separate thoughts hurry through consciousness from the moment we wake up to the time we slip into sleep.
6
What many of these thoughts have in common is that we seldom do them any kind of justice.
7
The result is a kind of sensory overload and an immense difficulty processing what we've actually been through.
8
We don't have time to feel the anger we're beset by.
9
We don't have the wherewithal to give room to the sadness that nags at us.
10
We can't on too many occasions properly think our own thoughts or feel our own feelings.
11
But these thoughts and feelings do need to be understood and will protest more or less actively when they're not.
12
Anger that hasn't been given its due will emerge as irritability.
13
grief that hasn't been honoured will metastise into aimlessness and despair.
14
What we call 'mental illnesses' are usually the outcome of periods of our lives
15
that we haven't had the strength or opportunity to understand or mourn.
16
What can help our troubles is self -exploration.
17
And that's why we've produced five questions
18
that we suggest can be rehearsed every evening on a regular basis and will help to appease the sources of our troubles.
19
First question.
20
What am I really worried about?
21
This question recognises something rather unusual about how we operate.
22
We frequently don't stop to ask ourselves what we're truly worried about.
23
This sounds odd.
24
Surely, if we're worried, we would be expected to pause rather quickly and explore why.
25
But our minds seem not to work in this supremely logical -sounding way.
26
They feel anxious long before they're ever motivated to ask themselves why they might be so.
27
they can carry on for months, even years, under the fog of diffuse concern,
28
before setting themselves the challenge of zeroing in on what is really at stake.
29
So the question bids us to stop running and to turn around and look at what might actually be ailing us.
30
The use of the word really is strategic.
31
We often use one worry to shield us from another.
32
We worry about an upcoming interview to protect us from worrying about the state of our relationship.
33
We worry about money in order not to worry about death.
34
So, it can be helpful to keep a supplementary inquiry in mind: what worry might lie behind the worry
35
that is currently obsessing me?
36
Second question: What am I presently sad about?
37
We can make a generalisation: we go around being far braver than is good for us.
38
Because we need to get on with the practicalities of the day, we frequently push to the side all the slights,
39
hurts, disappointments and griefs that flow through our river of consciousness.
40
We choose not to notice how vulnerable we are for fear that we cannot afford our own sensitivity.
41
But stoicism and strength carry their own dangers.
42
With the help of this question, we should give time to noticing that despite our competent and strong exteriors,
43
lots of smaller and larger things have managed to hurt us today, like every day.
44
Perhaps someone didn't laugh when we told a joke, our partner has been a little distant of late,
45
a friend didn't call, a senior figure at work was less than completely impressed.
46
We don't need to mock ourselves.
47
We aren't weaklings for being fragile.
48
In fact, there is no clearer evidence of our maturity than our capacity to explore the ways in which we, like everyone else on the planet,
49
are a sensitive and easily bruised as a child.
50
Third question.
51
Who has annoyed me? And how?
52
We want to be polite, of course.
53
We're attached to the norms of civilisation.
54
It upsets us to think we might be upset.
55
Nevertheless, here too, we need to have the courage of our actual sensitivity.
56
No day goes by without someone annoying us in some rather fundamental way, usually without them in any way meaning to.
57
Our spirits will be lighter if we can bring ourselves to spell out the injury.
58
What happened?
59
How did it make us feel?
60
What might we tell ourselves to re -find equilibrium?
61
If we were lucky, we used to do this sort of thing with a kindly parent when we returned home from school.
62
Now, as careful guardians to ourselves, we can internalise the process and use our inner adult to soothe the always easily flustered,
63
but also easily calmed, in a child.
64
Fourth question.
65
What does my body want?
66
Much of what we feel but don't process has a habit of ending up in our bodies.
67
That's why we develop backache, tense shoulders, knotted stomachs and fluttery hearts.
68
In order to live more easily around our bodies, we should regularly drain them of the emotions that they have unfairly been burdened with.
69
We should mentally scan our bodies from top to toe and ask ourselves what each organ might require.
70
What do my shoulders want to tell me?
71
What would my stomach want to say?
72
What does my back need?
73
What do my legs crave?
74
The questions may sound strange, What is surprising is that we're likely to have some very concrete answers just waiting for us when we ask.
75
Fifth question.
76
What is still lovely?
77
Despite so much that's difficult, every day brings us up against a range of things that still delight and enchant us.
78
Often these elements are small: the light on the kitchen wall in the morning, a child holding its parent's hand at the bus stop, a fig we had at lunchtime.
79
These might not sound like things we should bother to register.
80
But, summoned up in their full richness and held in our attention for a few moments, they can help to fortify us against the voices of despair.
81
We tend to assume that if something is lovely, it will strike our minds as being so, with full force, without us needing to do anything supplementary.
82
The reality is stranger.
83
We need to make a conscious effort to squeeze joy out of beneficial elements that might otherwise be forgotten without notice.
84
Our lives have some lovely aspects to them.
85
But we may, surprisingly, regularly and rather clumsily, have to make a list of them in order to realize that they exist.
86
When Socrates, apparently the wisest man of antiquity, was asked to define our highest purpose as human beings,
87
he offered a still legendary answer: to know ourselves.
88
We should aspire to be people who never cease to try to make sense of themselves at the close of every day.
89
We should devote ourselves constantly to trying to shrink the scale of the darkness within us, bringing what was once in shadow closer to the light of interpretation.
90
so that we stand a chance of becoming slightly less frantic and rather more joyful, creative and calm creatures.

이 영상을 통해 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유는?

영상에서는 일상에서 느끼는 불안과 슬픔을 직면하고 이해하는 방법에 대해 논의합니다. 이러한 주제를 다루면서 우리는 실생활에서 자연스럽게 사용하는 표현과 어휘를 접할 수 있습니다. IELTS 스피킹 시험을 준비하는 학생들에게 필요한 존중감 있는 자기 탐색도 포함되어 있습니다. 영상을 반복해서 시청하고 shadow speak를 통해 발음을 연습하면, 자기 자신을 더 잘 이해하고 감정을 표현할 수 있는 능력이 향상될 것입니다. 이는 결국 fluent한 영어 말하기로 이어집니다.

문맥에서의 문법 및 표현

  • What am I really worried about? - 이 표현은 진짜로 걱정하는 것이 무엇인지 묻는 질문으로, 'really'라는 부사를 통해 자신의 진정한 감정을 탐구하게 유도합니다.
  • What am I presently sad about? - 'presently'라는 단어는 현재 느끼고 있는 슬픔을 인식하고 표현하게 도와줍니다. 매일의 감정을 살펴보는 것이 중요함을 강조합니다.
  • We often use one worry to shield us from another. - 이 문장은 복잡한 감정의 얽힘을 설명하며, 감정의 우선순위를 두는 것에 대한 이해를 돕습니다.

이러한 문장 구조와 표현들은 일상적인 대화에서 자주 사용되므로 유튜브 영어 공부에도 효과적입니다.

발음 연습에서 흔히 발생하는 함정

영상 내에서는 'worried', 'sad', 'shield'와 같은 단어들이 종종 잘못 발음될 수 있습니다. 특히 'worried'의 /wɜːr.id/ 발음이 한국어 사용자에게는 어려울 수 있습니다. 이러한 단어들은 감정 표현에 빈번하게 사용되므로 영어 발음 교정 연습에 필수적입니다. 'presently'와 같은 단어 역시 강조할 부분이 있어, 올바른 억양을 사용하는 것이 중요합니다. 따라서 이 영상을 통해 단어의 정확한 발음과 감정을 담아내는 억양을 체계적으로 연습해보세요.

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.
