26
when you're using these new words okay let's get started with the first part of the article tech executives economists
27
and other experts say that ai could automate mundane and tedious tasks
28
and also create new roles tech companies that are cutting jobs
29
and leaning more on artificial intelligence are also disrupting themselves let's
30
look at the word mundane it says ai could automate mundane and tedious tasks mundane means boring or repetitive tasks.
31
If something is mund and not interesting.
32
For can say washing dishes c job became mundane after we can say she got tired
33
mundane tasks every day to how some other people feel like things are just focusing on something so mundane and so unimportant.
34
Even experts spend most of the time doing mundane repetitive tasks.
35
Let's look at tedious, mundane and tedious tasks.
36
And if something is tedious, it takes a long time and it's boring.
37
And we can say copying data by hand is a tedious job.
38
That lecture was long and tedious.
39
It was a tedious task to clean every corner of the house.
40
Is your work tedious?
41
Let's listen to how some other people used it.
42
This can be a very slow, frustrating, tedious process.
43
Well, this is a tedious, incredibly time-consuming process.
44
The labs were so tedious, I said, this is not for me.
45
So I switched to English.
46
Let's look at leaning.
47
Cutting jobs and leaning more on artificial intelligence.
48
That means they're depending on it more.
49
To lean on is to depend on or to rely on something or someone.
50
For example, I can say, I can always lean on my friends for support.
51
Many people lean on technology to help them work.
52
Do you have someone in your life that you can lean on?
53
And you can tell your friends, you can lean on me.
54
And that means I'm always available for you.
55
I'm here if you need me you can lean on me
56
and do you know the name of this very famous tower
57
it's the leaning tower of pisa let's look at the next paragraph at salesforce a software company
58
that helps businesses manage customer relationships chief executive mark benioff said last week
59
that ai is already doing 30 to 50 percent of the
60
company's work other tech leaders have chimed in earlier this year
61
anthropic an ai startup flashed a big warning ai could wipe
62
out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the
63
next one to five years let's look at to chime in other tech leaders chimed in.
64
That means they gave their opinion.
65
To chime in is to join or to add your comment in a conversation.
66
For example, we can say, he chimed in with his thoughts during the meeting.
67
If you would like to add something, please chime in.
68
Let's listen to how some other people use to chime in.
69
Allison and Teresa, I invite you both to chime in.
70
Let me start and then Richard can chime in.
71
Want to chime in on that, Randy?
72
And let's look at to wipe out.
73
AI could wipe out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs.
74
To wipe out means to completely remove or to destroy.
75
We can say one bad investment wiped out all of his savings.
76
The flood wiped out the village.
77
Let's look at entry-level white-collar jobs.
78
These are the types of jobs that AI may replace first.
79
A white-collar job is an office job, and an entry-level job is the job that you do when you first start your career.
80
We can say, he's looking for an entry-level job in finance.
81
She got an entry-level white-collar job at the bank.
82
Let's look at the next paragraph.
83
Ready or not, AI is reshaping,
84
displacing, and creating new roles as technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.
85
The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers who fear their jobs could be automated.
86
Roughly half of U.S workers are worried about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future,
87
and few think AI will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.
88
According to a Pew Research Center report, let's look at the verb to ripple.
89
The article says, as technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.
90
AI's impact is rippling across industries.
91
And that means it is spreading and it is affecting many areas.
92
So to ripple is to spread out slowly like waves.
93
This is a ripple.
94
We can say the wind created small ripples on the surface of the lake.
95
But you can also use to ripple this way.
96
The news rippled through the company.
97
Or we can say a ripple effect.
98
The new policy had a ripple effect on all departments.
99
And let's look at frenzy.
100
The article says the AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers.
101
Frenzy is anxiety or excitement.
102
For example, we can say a buying frenzy.
103
The holiday sales caused a shopping frenzy.
104
We can also say a frenzy of excitement or a frenzy of fear or a frenzy of panic.
105
Let's look at the verb to fuel.
106
The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers.
107
And if you fuel something, you make it stronger and it grows faster.
108
And we usually use it this way, to fuel a fire.
109
Dry wood and leaves helped fuel the fire or to fuel a car.
110
They stopped to fuel the car before continuing their journey.
111
But we can also use to fuel this way, to fuel growth.
112
Technology continues to fuel economic growth.
113
We can also say to fuel anger, to fuel fear, or to fuel ambition.
114
Her struggles fueled her ambition to succeed.
115
If you've been watching my videos recently, then you know the meaning of the next word, roughly.
116
Roughly half of US workers are worried.
117
Roughly means approximately or about.
118
You can say roughly 30 people came to the meeting.
119
The trip cost roughly $500.
120
And let's look at few.
121
Do you know the difference between few and a few?
122
It's a pretty big difference look at this example.
123
What is the difference between these two sentences?
124
I have a few problems or I have few problems.
125
Which one is preferable?
126
Which one is better?
127
It's better to have few problems.
128
That means you have very few problems.
129
You don't have very many problems.
130
You want to express the fact that there's a lack of problems.
131
But if you say I have a few problems, then it means you do have some problems.
132
So that little article, a, completely changes the meaning.
133
The article says, few think that AI will lead to more job opportunities.
134
And that means that almost nobody thinks that AI will lead to more job opportunities.
135
In fact, it's the opposite.
136
They think that there will be fewer jobs because of AI.
137
They're pessimistic about it.
138
Have you ever used idiomatic expression in the long run, the article states, will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.
139
In the long run means over a long period of time.
140
For example, you can say, it may be hard now, but it's better in the long run.
141
Saving money is smart in the long run.
142
It's a very common expression.
143
Let's listen to how some other people used it.
144
But right now, as much as it hurts, in the the long run, you're going to be happy that you did it.
145
What do you think might happen in the long run, Eric?
146
So you might as well live by your values because in the long run, that's the best way to live.
147
Let's look at another paragraph.
148
The heightened fear comes as major tech companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, Amazon,
149
and Meta, cut workers, push for more efficiency,
150
and promote their ai tools tech companies have rolled out ai powered features
151
that can generate code analyze data develop apps
152
and help complete other tedious tasks ai isn't just taking jobs
153
it's really rewriting the rule book on what work even looks
154
like right now said robert lucido senior director of strategic advisory
155
at magnet a company based in fulsom california to heighten is a verb in the past tense is heightened
156
and it's also an adjective heightened let's pronounce it correctly first
157
repeat after me heightened heightened heightened fear heightened means increased or made stronger
158
we can say the news heightened my anxiety his speech heightened
159
our awareness let's look at the phrasal verb to roll out tech companies have rolled out ai-powered features and
160
that means tech companies are rolling out new ai tools they are releasing them to roll out is to introduce
161
or to launch something new we can say the company rolled
162
out a new product they will roll out the service next week.
163
The school rolled out a new program.
164
Let's look at the idiomatic expression to rewrite the rule book.
165
AI is rewriting the rule book.
166
To rewrite the rule book is to change the normal way that things are done.
167
For example, we can say he rewrote the rule book on how to run a business.
168
He did it in his own way.
169
He did it in an original way.
170
We can say her new way of teaching is rewriting the rule book in education.
171
And AI is rewriting the rule book for many jobs.
172
And now let's read parts of the article again to practice your accent.
173
I will read and I will pause to give you a chance to repeat.
174
And pay attention to which words I'm stressing and pay attention to how I'm connecting the words and where I'm pausing.
175
And try to do exactly the same thing so that your accent can sound natural.
176
And of course, pay attention to the pronunciation of the words also.
177
Okay, repeat after me.
178
Tech executives, economists, and other experts
179
say that AI could automate mundane and tedious tasks and also create new roles.
180
Tech companies that are cutting jobs and leaning more on artificial intelligence are also disrupting themselves.
181
At Salesforce, a software company that helps businesses manage customer relationships,
182
Chief Executive Mark Benyoff said last week,
183
that AI is already doing 30 to 50% of the company's work.
184
Other tech leaders have chimed in.
185
Earlier this year, Anthropic, an AI startup, flashed a big warning.
186
AI could wipe out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next one to five years.
187
Ready or not, AI is reshaping, displacing, and creating new roles.
188
As technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.
189
The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers who fear their jobs could be automated.
190
Roughly half of US workers are worried about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future.
191
And few think AI will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.
192
According to a Pew Research Center report,
193
the heightened fear comes as major tech companies such as Microsoft,
194
Intel, Amazon, and Meta.
195
Cut workers push for more efficiency and promote their AI tools.
196
Tech companies have rolled out AI-powered features that can generate code,
197
analyze data, develop apps, and help complete other tedious tasks.
198
AI isn't just taking jobs.
199
It's really rewriting the rulebook.
200
on what work even looks like right now.

연습 팁
유튜브 영어 공부에서 효과적으로 영어 쉐도잉을 연습하고 싶다면, 이 비디오의 속도와 톤에 맞춰 따라 하세요. 특히, 강사가 말하는 속도는 약간 빠를 수 있으므로 처음에는 천천히 따라 해보는 것이 좋습니다. 중요한 어휘나 구문이 나올 때마다 멈추고 반복하여 발음 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, “slashing jobs”와 “leaning on” 같은 표현은 여러 번 소리 내어 연습하면서 발음을 교정할 수 있는 기회로 삼으세요. 이처럼 영어 회화 연습을 통해 여러분의 발음과 유창성을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 또한, IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.
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.
