6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Georgie.
5
Would you like a cup of tea, Neil?
6
Oh yes, thanks Georgie.
7
With milk and three sugars, please.
8
Three sugars?
9
Wow, you really have a sweet tooth.
10
You like eating sweet things.
11
Aren't you worried about your weight?
12
Yes, but I can't say no to sugar.
13
Just as our addiction to oil is causing a climate emergency, our addiction to sugar is causing a health emergency for our bodies.
14
Sugar gives us an instant hit of the chemical hormone dopamine, making us feel good, but in the long run causing obesity,
15
tooth decay and diseases like diabetes.
16
But how did our addiction to the sweet stuff begin?
17
That's what we'll be discussing in this programme and, as usual, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well.
18
Anyway, here's your tea, Neil.
19
I just put one sugar.
20
Thanks, Georgie.
21
I'll give it a try.
22
Now, before we go on, I have a question for you.
23
Sugar cane, which grows naturally in Asia, Africa and the Americas, first came to England in the 11th century.
24
Back then it was an expensive luxury item, affordable only to kings, queens and the very rich.
25
So which English monarch loved eating sugar so much their teeth turned black?
26
Was it a King Henry VIII, b Queen Elizabeth I, or c Mary Queen of Scots?
27
I know Henry VIII was very unhealthy, so I'll guess it's him.
28
OK, Georgie, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
29
Just now I compared sugar to oil as the world's most important commodity.
30
A commodity is a product or natural resource that can be traded, bought and sold.
31
Today, economies, governments and wars are based on controlling oil.
32
But in earlier centuries, the same was true of sugar.
33
For 400 years, sugar, along with coffee and tobacco, was grown in slavery plantations and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
34
By the time slavery was ended in 1834, the demand for sugar in Europe and the United States was at a record high.
35
Here's Professor of International History Ulber Bosmer explaining more to BBC Radio 4 programme Thinking Aloud.
36
Sugar was already an extremely important commodity in the 16th and 17th and 18th century.
37
And in the 19th century we see a staggering growth of sugar consumption in Europe and the United States.
38
And with that, sugar became the fuel for human bodies, whereas oil became the fuel for vehicles in the 20th century.
39
Professor Bosma talks about the staggering growth in the popularity of sugar.
40
The adjective staggering means shocking or surprising.
41
Just like oil became the fuel for machine engines, sugar became the fuel for the human body.
42
Fuel is a substance that is burned to provide heat or power.
43
Trading companies had become rich selling sugar grown using slave labour.
44
When people began to realise the health problems of sugar in the 20th century, these companies needed new ways to sell their product,
45
and began using sugar in food which had previously contained none – food like bread, cereal and yoghurt.
46
Here's Professor Bosma again, taking up the story for BBC Radio 4's Thinking Aloud.
47
You can flood the market with a certain commodity, with sugar in this case, but that still does not mean that people will consume it.
48
So the eating habits of people had to change.
49
People, until the early 19th century, they had a few spoons of sugar per week, but not a kilo which people consume today in many countries in the world.
50
companies flooded the market with their commodity.
51
If you flood the market, you make a lot of your product available for sale, often at a low price.
52
But just because something is cheap and easily available doesn't mean people will eat it.
53
So sugar companies try to increase sugar consumption by changing people's eating habits – the way a group of people eat.
54
For example, which types of food they eat, how much of it and how often.
55
Instead of one or two spoons of sugar per week, people started eating kilos, with results we see around us every day.
56
Worldwide, obesity and heart disease have tripled in the last 50 years.
57
What's more, because sugary food is cheaper, it's often the poorest in society who are worst affected.
58
Hmm, maybe it's time to try having your tea without any sugar, eh Neil?
59
And to reveal the answer to your question, which English monarch's famous love of sugar turned their teeth black, I guessed it was the notorious overeater, Henry VIII.
60
Which was the wrong answer, I'm afraid, Georgie.
61
In fact, during the years before toothpaste and dentist, those black, stumpy teeth belong to Queen Elizabeth I.
62
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned from this programme about sugar, starting with a sweet tooth,
63
a fondness for eating sweet, sugary food and drinks.
64
A commodity is a product or natural resource that can be traded, bought and sold.
65
Fuel is a substance such as oil or coal that is burned to provide heat or power.
66
The adjective staggering means very shocking and surprising.
67
If a company floods the market, they release a lot of a particular product for sale, often at a low price.
68
And finally, eating habits describe the way a particular group of people eat.
69
For example, which types of food they eat, how much and how often.
70
Once again, our six minutes are up.

인기 동영상

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유는?

이 비디오는 설탕 중독과 같은 흥미로운 주제를 다루고 있어, 영어 회화 연습에 매우 유용합니다. Neil과 Georgie의 대화를 통해 실제적인 영어 표현을 배우고, 자신을 표현하는 방법을 익힐 수 있습니다. 이 비디오에서는 설탕의 역사와 건강에 미치는 영향에 대한 유익한 정보를 접하면서, 자연스럽게 생각을 말로 표현하는 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 동시 통역 기술인 shadow speak를 활용하여 두 사람의 대화를 따라 하다 보면, 자신의 발음을 개선하고 영어 발음 교정에 대한 감각도 느낄 수 있습니다.

문맥 속 문법 및 표현

이 비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 주요 문법 구조를 살펴보겠습니다:

  • “Aren't you worried about your weight?” - 이 질문 형식은 상대방의 감정을 문의하며, 공감과 친밀감을 형성하는 데 사용됩니다. 여기서 'worried about'는 특정 주제에 대한 우려를 표현하는 데 유용한 구문입니다.
  • “Sugar gives us an instant hit of the chemical hormone dopamine.” - 이 문장은 주어와 동사가 명확히 연결되어, ‘설탕이 우리에게 즉각적인 기분 상승을 준다’는 의미를 전달합니다. “gives us”와 “hit of” 같은 표현을 통해 영어 회화를 더욱 풍부하게 만들 수 있습니다.
  • “The same was true of sugar.” - 과거 시제 사용이 돋보이는 사례로, 역사적인 사실을 설명할 때 유용합니다. 과거에 있었던 사실을 이야기할 때, 이러한 구조를 활용할 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 접할 수 있는 몇 가지 발음의 함정도 알아봅시다:

  • “Commodity” - 이 단어의 발음은 초보자에게 어려울 수 있습니다. 특히 첫 음절의 com- 발음을 정확히 하지 않으면 의미가 흐려질 수 있습니다.
  • “Consumption” - 이 단어는 -sump- 부분의 강세를 잘 조절해야 자연스럽게 들립니다. 강세를 잘못 두면 부정확한 의미를 줄 수 있습니다.
  • “Staggering” - 이 단어는 -gger- 부분이 발음하기 어렵게 느껴질 수 있습니다. 특히 한국어 화자에게는 익숙하지 않은 발음일 수 있어 연습이 필요합니다.

비디오를 시청하면서 이와 같은 발음 연습을 병행하면 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 자주 반복하고 연습하면서 shadowspeak 기술을 활용해 보세요!

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.
