쉐도잉 연습: Advanced English Conversation: Our healthy daily habits - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Welcome to a real-life C-level English conversation.

I am Camille.

I'm Calvin.

Today's topic is a very important and amazing topic and very important as well to both of us and that is health.

Nice.

Yes, we didn't even plan that.

So first of all, we just want to share some things

that we do every day in our own lives and we feel like it adds benefit to our health.

So what are some things that you do, Calvin?

I mean, there's obviously a lot of aspects to health.

You know, there's the sort of physical side, emotional side, spiritual side.

So I guess physically I try to walk,

jog, or do some sort of activity that gets my heart rate up and maybe gets fresh air.

That's what I do.

Yeah.

So every morning we exercise.

We usually take turns because we have kids at home.

so I do the same things walk jog

and actually I love to do videos on YouTube like with my own body weight

so I'll be doing a 20

or 30 minute video squats push-ups sit-ups all sorts of jumping exercises

and as I've gotten older I've realized I need to stretch more

so often in the evenings I'll put on a quick yoga video

or I'll just do some stretches and it really helps my body feel better and helps me to relax.

If you like travel, be sure to check out my short travel stories book for English learners.

Yeah, I think stretching is good for any age, but definitely, you know, as we've gotten older and, you know, we've pulled out our backs or things like that.

Yeah.

We've really realized staying limber is very, uh, very important.

Yeah.

Flexibility.

Yeah.

So what do you eat every morning to get your metabolism jump-started?

Yeah, so every morning for breakfast I flip-flop.

So sometimes I have a couple of eggs, avocado, sometimes I have a yogurt, nut, seed.

I'll put like plain Greek yogurt and then I'll add chia seeds, walnuts, whatever fruit we have.

I really like banana, blueberry, mango, and what else goes on that baby?

Peanut butter.

Peanut butter, yeah.

Don't forget peanut butter.

We're in a, well, we're not in America, but in America, peanut butter is like the thing.

Yes.

And peanut butter where the only ingredient is peanuts.

Yeah.

Very healthy peanut butter.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

And sometimes I'll make oatmeal too and do the same stuff on top, but with oatmeal instead of yogurt as my base.

Sounds like a good option.

Yeah.

What about you?

I usually, I'm actually very religious about this.

I usually do yogurt, maybe like a Greek plain yogurt.

Then I do some granola.

If it's made by Camille, it's amazing.

And then I'll also do whatever fruit we have in the fridge or in season, and I'll throw that on top.

And lately I've been adding like a superfood green powder to it and also a collagen powder to it,

which helps your sort of joints maintain their health as you grow older.

Not to say that we're like, you know, out to pasture or anything, but...

We're not young spring chickens anymore.

Yes, we're not young spring chickens.

yeah so yeah that kind of helps me get my day started

and yeah yeah diet is so important moving is so important

and then something else

that I do every morning I'm pretty religious it's like my ritual before I even eat breakfast right

when I wake up try to drink a big glass of water I prepare my coffee

and then I spend some time reading

and journaling every morning I think both of those things are really good for our mind

and I always try to do something in my journal that I'm thankful for.

I write some goals I might have for the day.

I write what happened yesterday.

It doesn't take me super long, maybe 10 or 15 minutes, but I feel like that routine of journaling really just keeps my mind in a good place.

Mm-hmm.

Journaling is good.

I used to journal and I know I should, but I'm not right now.

Okay, no judgment.

Thank you.

But yeah, every morning I usually read a portion of the Bible and do a devotional as well.

And yeah, just try to have a quiet morning if possible.

Of course, you know, when the kids wake up, it gets a little louder and they need things.

So yeah, waking up a little earlier is sometimes better.

And yeah, enjoying a fresh cup of specialty coffee from Ethiopia ideally and that's a beautiful morning.

It's true we love our specialty coffee.

So as far as sleep goes I feel like we have

a pretty good sleep schedule usually I'm sleeping by 10 and up around 6.

Yeah yeah I usually am in bed the same time

but just maybe reading a little bit longer just to get my mind to wind down

and wake up about the same time maybe a little later

yeah depending on how the night goes with the kids yeah

sometimes we'll sleep in later yeah I think it's good to have a good sleep routine

so not to be going to bed at 1 a.m

and waking up at 10 a.m or the next night you're in bed at 4

and waking up at 1

or you know I think it's good to have a routine

to try to within 30 minutes go to sleep the same time every night.

I'm not very good at getting off my screen before bed, which I know they say is good.

A lot of times we'll watch a show or a movie or I'll even be reading on my phone.

And so that's maybe a habit that I have that isn't super great.

Yeah, there's always a fight with or wrestle with screens.

100

They can be so useful and you can do a lot of things like learning languages

101

or reading a good book on there

102

but at the same time they can suck you into social media

103

and then you go to bed at 1 a.m feeling

104

so tired and drained so yeah yeah it's it's always good to come separated at night

105

so that we can get a good night's sleep calm the mind down before going to bed sometimes I stretch

106

and I do breathing exercises before bed

107

and also sometimes I'll make a herbal tea of some kind to try

108

and calm my body down and I think that really helps.

109

Something that helps as a family that we do is getting out in nature

110

so we try to do this minimum three four times a

111

week whether it's just going on a nature walk going down

112

to the beach with our kids going to a little river just going out from our front door

113

and going for a walk and seeing where we end up.

114

We find that our kids are happy when they're outside.

115

It's so good to be in fresh air with nature, with the trees.

116

And so I think that's a good healthy family rhythm that we have.

117

Yeah, yeah, I enjoy it also.

118

And nature is just so healing and needed for our minds, for our bodies, even even going barefoot.

119

Our kids are always barefoot outside.

120

Yeah.

121

And they've done studies where all those things are really beneficial for for our well-being.

122

And so, yeah, we like to get outside and it's just beautiful, too.

123

We like to find waterfalls or rivers or mountain areas or,

124

of the beach one of our favorite places yeah and yeah it relaxes you and you feel a lot better

125

yeah i think things

126

that also keep us healthy we're not smokers we're not drinkers like occasionally calvin will have a wine

127

or a beer i don't really enjoy it um very occasionally i'll I'll like take a sip of Calvin's and be like, I still haven't acquired a taste.

128

Yes, 20 years of trying.

129

Yeah, so I'm just like, okay, whatever.

130

But I think, yeah, smoking is just so not good for your health.

131

Yeah, it's true.

132

There's a lot of ways to smoke nowadays, you know, vaping, all that stuff.

133

And I think they try to make it sound better, but I think it's still very bad for you.

134

Yeah, very bad.

135

And then we just do our best to try to stay away from toxins in the home.

136

Like I make my own cleaners for all-purpose cleaner, window cleaner.

137

We try to buy natural deodorants and shampoos and products that we put on our bodies.

138

And I feel like those things contribute to our health as well.

139

Yeah, because if we can invest now in our health, you know, 10 years, 20 years down the road, we'll reap those benefits.

140

But if we don't treat our bodies well, yeah, we'll reap those not benefits.

141

Yes.

142

Deficits.

143

I don't know what it is.

144

Don't be punished.

145

Yeah.

146

So, yeah, it's important to think about our health and move towards a direction of a holistic health in our bodies.

147

Yeah.

148

I think that covers it.

149

I think so.

150

I mean, we could always go on for even longer about this topic, but we'll try to keep it concise.

151

But we would love to know what are some of your healthy habits, things that you do or don't do to keep you healthy.

152

Yeah.

156

Thanks.

157

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.
