So today I'm gonna talk about productivity.
6
This is a great topic to talk about because everybody wants to be productive.
7
What does productivity mean?
8
If you're productive it means you produce a lot.
9
It means that you see good results from your effort or work.
10
So let's talk about some ways we can be productive.
11
The first way we can be productive is by waking up early.
12
I know that many of you don't like this advice.
13
Not many people like waking up early.
14
I wake up pretty early but it's not easy for me.
15
I usually wake up at 6 a.m every day.
16
This is early but some people wake up earlier than me like at 5 a.m.
17
I wake up early so I can be more productive every day.
18
My official work starts at 7.30 a.m
19
but since I wake up at 6 I can do more things before I start working.
20
For example, I read a little bit in the morning and I study languages.
21
I usually read for about 15 minutes and I can study languages for about 50 minutes.
22
If I don't do this in the morning,
23
I might not have time to do it later.
24
So I do all this before my work starts.
25
I'm pretty productive in the morning.
26
How about you?
27
Are you productive in the morning?
28
Okay, another way we can be productive is by removing distractions.
29
A distraction is something that doesn't let you focus on your work.
30
For example, if you're trying to work and you hear dogs barking outside,
31
that might make you lose focus.
32
Some distractions are hard to remove,
33
like your neighbor's dog, but other distractions are easy to remove.
34
For instance, you can silence your cell phone.
35
If you hear your phone vibrate or ring you usually want to look at your phone.
36
When my phone vibrates I sometimes get distracted.
37
If you want to remove this distraction you can put your phone on silent or on airplane mode.
38
For some people this is hard.
39
Some people don't want to ignore their phone calls and messages.
40
They think that it's very important to check their phone.
41
This might be true, but it's also important to finish your work.
42
If you silence your phone,
43
it can help you finish your work faster.
44
So removing distractions like this can be very helpful.
45
Okay, another way we can be more productive is by making sure that we're comfortable when we work.
46
For example, if you're in an uncomfortable chair,
47
or if you feel hot or cold you might be less productive when you're working.
48
In my case, I don't work well if my chair is uncomfortable.
49
Usually my back hurts and I want to change positions.
50
So I need to sit in a comfortable chair when I work.
51
Sometimes I sit on my couch when I work because it's comfortable there.
52
This helps me be more productive.
53
Alright, one more way that we can be productive is by setting goals.
54
In my opinion this is the best way to be productive.
55
If you set goals for yourself you feel motivated to work.
56
You want to achieve your goals.
57
I always set goals for myself to help me be productive.
58
It's good to set short-term and long-term goals.
59
A short-term goal is a goal you want to achieve soon.
60
A long-term goal is a goal you want to achieve after a long time.
61
You can set short-term and long-term goals to help you learn English.
62
For example, maybe your short-term goal is to watch all my A1 listening practice videos by next month.
63
And maybe your long-term goal can be to read a whole book in English by the end of the year.
64
You can set many types of goals for yourself.
65
I like to set daily goals too.
66
This helps me be productive every day.
67
For instance, each day my goal is to practice my listening in French for one hour.
68
Every day when I complete this hour I feel great.
69
I know that I accomplished my goal.
70
Okay, I hope you can use these tips to help you be more productive.
71
Now I'm gonna ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이 A1 영어 듣기 연습 비디오는 여러분이 영어 말하기 능력을 향상시키는 데 매우 유용합니다. 듣기를 통해 내용을 이해하고, 자연스러운 흐름을 익히며, 실제 대화에서의 맥락을 파악할 수 있습니다. "생산성"이라는 주제를 통해 누구나 효율성을 높이고, 더 좋은 결과를 얻는 방법에 대해 고민하게 됩니다. 이를 통해 영어 회화 연습 능력을 기르고, IELTS 스피킹 시험에서도 더 자신감을 가질 수 있도록 돕습니다.
문법 및 표현의 맥락
비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현을 분석해 보겠습니다:
- It means that... - 이 구조는 설명이나 정의를 제공할 때 효과적입니다. 예를 들어, "It means that you produce a lot"는 '생산성이란 많은 것을 산출하는 것이다'라는 의미를 전달합니다.
- For example, ... - 특정 예시를 통해 주제를 설명할 때 자주 쓰입니다. 이는 듣는 이로 하여금 이해를 돕고 관심을 끌 수 있습니다.
- Another way we can ... - 다양한 방법을 제안할 때 사용되는 표현입니다. 이는 여러분이 여러 가지 접근 방식을 탐색할 수 있도록 안내합니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 다루어진 내용 중 발음이 어려운 단어들이 있습니다. 특히 productive와 distraction 같은 단어는 처음 듣거나 말할 때 발음이 헷갈릴 수 있습니다. 이러한 단어들은 발음 연습에 유용하며, 영어 발음 교정의 좋은 기회를 제공합니다. 또한, 스피치의 리듬과 억양을 익히기 위해 shadowing site의 도움을 활용하면 효과적입니다.
또한, 자연스럽고 유창하게 말하는 데 있어서는 자신의 목소리로 shadow speech를 통해 반복하여 연습하는 것이 핵심입니다. 다양한 발음 함정을 인지하고 연습하게 되면, 대화에서 더 자신감을 가질 수 있습니다.
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.
