1
Hello and welcome to this Learn English Professionals recording, brought to you by the British Council.
2
Alcohol abuse.
3
Thanks for coming along to the studio today, Damien.
4
We're going to talk about alcohol, and more to the point, alcohol abuse, what we've come to know as binge drinking.
5
Yes, thanks for inviting me, Anne.
6
We keep hearing about cases of binge drinking in the newspapers, on television, in magazines and on radio chat shows like this one.
7
But what exactly is binge drinking?
8
What does the term mean?
9
Is there a difference between binge drinking and just plain old getting drunk?
10
Well, the British Medical Association states that there is no consensus on the definition of binge drinking.
11
In the past, we used the term binge drinking to refer to an extended period of time—a couple of days,
12
for example—when a person would continue to drink alcohol to such an extent that he or she would abandon their usual activities,
13
such as work, or, in the case of younger drinkers, classes.
14
In medical terms, we usually agree that binge drinking refers to the thresholds that we have for holding our drink.
15
Ah.
16
But isn't binge drinking all about drinking lots of alcohol in a short space of time?
17
And don't we usually think of young people when we hear the term used?
18
People who shouldn't really be drinking alcohol in the first place.
19
Well, you are right about the first point.
20
In common usage, probably because of all the recent media coverage,
21
binge drinking has come to mean a heavy bout of drinking in just one evening, or a similar time span.
22
Another factor is the intention.
23
The intention?
24
Yes.
25
The fact that binge drinkers actually set out to get drunk.
26
That's their goal, what they're trying to do.
27
Binge drinkers aren't usually solitary drinkers.
28
They drink in groups, sometimes very large groups, especially in the case of teenagers.
29
And binge drinkers are getting younger and younger, if you believe what you read in the press.
30
So, let's get this clear.
31
Large groups of kids get together with the sole intention of getting drunk?
32
In a nutshell, yes.
33
Ah.
34
And is binge drinking a particularly British problem?
35
Surely young people drink in other countries too?
36
Yes, you're right.
37
Lots of countries have problems with youngsters drinking.
38
But it does seem as though the UK is taking a particular interest in the problem.
39
Let's say that here, In Britain, we see binge drinking as a huge social problem.
40
In other countries, it's perceived as less of a problem.
41
And should we be worried?
42
Is it a problem?
43
Well, that depends.
44
I certainly think so, yes.
45
In 2003, the cost of binge drinking was estimated as £20 billion.
46
The figure will have risen considerably since then, I'm sure.
47
In 2005, the government released figures from the Health Service
48
that suggested that a million accident and emergency admissions each year are a direct result of alcohol consumption.
49
And the emergency services report that Friday and Saturday nights they can hardly cope with the demand for attention.
50
So why are the British so notorious when it comes to binge drinking?
51
Are we worse than other European countries?
52
The culture of drinking in the UK is very different from other countries like France, Spain or Italy.
53
In most mainland European countries, children grow up seeing alcohol consumed slowly, a drop of wine with a meal,
54
the odd beer on a sunny afternoon.
55
In the UK, we go out to the pubs and up until recently, the pubs all closed at 11 on the dot.
56
So, what happens?
57
Well, you drink as fast as you can, so that by the time eleven comes around you aren't left feeling like another drink.
58
Do you think we are used to seeing people drunk in Britain, or do we still get shocked?
59
It depends, really.
60
But being drunk isn't socially acceptable in most European countries, whereas in the UK, well,
61
in some social circles quite the reverse is true.
62
I'm afraid that's all we have time for.

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.
