Today we're going to look at the sentence rhythm and intonation in my sample answer for the IELTS question, Describe a Journey You Remember Well.
4
Let's take a look.
5
When I was 15, when I was 15, 15, I went with my family,
6
I went with my family.
7
kind of go down on family, but keep went with my at a higher tone.
8
I went with my family on a long trip.
9
Long trip.
10
So we don't go all the way down on trip.
11
It's not long trip.
12
Long trip.
13
Just a little bit down.
14
Long trip around a.. long trip around a bunch of national parks in the western United States.
15
A bunch of National Parks in the Western United States.
16
Western U.
17
Western United States.
18
We have to go low on U in United so that we can make a rhythm for the sentence.
19
Western United States.
20
I can't really remember.
21
I can't really remember.
22
Can't really.
23
We keep that at an even tone.
24
I can't really remember how much time we spent at each one.
25
We spent.. we spent at each one.
26
How much time we spent at each one?
27
We.
28
We goes lower, again to break up the rhythm of the high tone sentence.
29
How much time we spent at each one?
30
But the whole trip took about three weeks in total.
31
But the whole trip took about three weeks in total.
32
So three weeks.
33
We go down a little bit on three weeks, but we don't go all the way down.
34
It's not three weeks in total.
35
Three weeks in total.
36
Three weeks in total.
37
At that time, at that time, at that time, I was just beginning.
38
I was.
39
So I was goes lower here, even though we rose on time.
40
At that time I was just beginning.
41
So just is quite high.
42
I was just beginning to take pictures as a hobby.
43
Take pictures, take pictures as a hobby.
44

45
So I love seeing all the different landscapes.
46
So I, so I goes very low at the beginning of this sentence.
47
So I love seeing all the different landscapes.
48
Landscapes.
49
We go much lower to finish that sentence.
50
Landscapes.
51
All the different landscapes.
52
That was also, that was also when I first got to practice,
53
first got to practice, got to, got to practice, got to practice,
54

55

56
My parents let me try driving, My parents let me try driving for a few minutes.
57
My parents let me try driving for a few minutes.
58
My.
59
Let me.
60
Furrah.
61
All of those are low to break up the rhythm of the sentence.
62
My parents let me try driving.
63
Driving for a few minutes.
64
For a few minutes.
65
Out on a really lonely road in a desert.
66
Out on a really lonely road in a desert.
67
Really lonely road in a desert.
68
In a desert.
69
So we have three kind of high tones, but we don't go all the way low yet.
70
Until in a.
71
Really lonely road in a desert.
72
Really lonely road in a desert.
73
Where it was safe.
74
Where it was.
75
Now those three words are connected together, and they're spoken in a low tone, where it was safe.
76
Where it was safe.
77
It's been a long time.
78
It's been a long time since I've been to parks like that, and I'd definitely like to see them again.
79
It's...
80
We start that sentence with a low tone.
81
It's been a long time.
82
It's been a long time since I've been to parks like that.
83
Been to parks.
84
T is unstressed, and so it goes with a low tone.
85
Since I've been to parks like that, and I'd definitely like to see them again.
86
That takes a falling then rising tone.
87
Parks like that, that, parks like that, and I definitely like to see them again.
88
And I, and it takes a low tone, and I definitely like to see them again.
89
So I'm stressing definitely in my answer, definitely like to see them again.
90
Like to, like to.
91
It's not like to, definitely like to.
92
It's not like that, it's definitely like to.
93
Definitely like to see them again.
94
So we kind of go up and down very quickly in this sentence. When I was 15,
95
I went with my family on a long trip around a bunch of national parks in the western United States.
96
I can't really remember how much time we spent at each one, but the whole trip took about three weeks in total.
97
At that time, I was just beginning to take pictures as a hobby, so I loved seeing all the different landscapes.
98
That was also when I first got to practice driving a car.
99
My parents let me try driving for a few minutes out
100
on a really lonely road in a desert where it was safe.
101
It's been a long time since I've been to parks like that, and I'd definitely like to see them again.
왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이번 비디오에서는 미국 영어의 연음과 억양을 활용하여, '당신이 기억하는 여행에 대해 설명하기'라는 주제에 대해 깊이 있게 탐구합니다. 특히, 말하기는 단순히 단어를 나열하는 것이 아니라, 발음과 억양, 그리고 리듬을 조화롭게 조절하는 것이 중요합니다. 이 비디오를 통해 자연스러운 대화체를 익히고 'shadow speech' 기술을 활용하여 영어 말하기 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 실제 대화에서 자주 사용하는 표현들을 반영하고, 자신감을 가지고 영어로 이야기할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
비디오에서 사용된 주요 문법 구조와 표현을 살펴보겠습니다. 다음은 몇 가지 중요한 요소입니다:
- 빈도 표현: "At that time, I was just beginning"와 같은 표현을 통해 과거의 특정 시점을 강조하고 있습니다.
- 명확한 동사 사용: "I went with my family"와 같은 간단하고 명확한 동사 구문은 이해하기 쉽고 자연스러운 대화를 유도합니다.
- 시간 개념: "The whole trip took about three weeks in total"와 같이 시간을 언급하는 구조는 정보를 구체적으로 전달합니다.
- 취미 관련 표현: "take pictures as a hobby"는 여가와 관련된 개인적인 관심사를 보이는 좋은 예입니다.
이와 같은 표현들을 연습하면서 다양한 상황에서도 활용할 수 있는 어휘력을 쌓을 수 있습니다.
자주 발생하는 발음 함정
비디오에는 다음과 같은 발음 특히 주의해야 할 단어와 억양이 있습니다:
- “Western United States”: 최종 't' 발음에서 소리의 흐름이 끊길 수 있으니 주의하세요.
- “a bunch of”: 이 표현은 연음 처리될 수 있으며, 부드럽게 발음하는 것이 중요합니다.
- “landscapes”: 단어 끝의 's' 소리에서 힘을 주어 발음해야 정확하게 전달됩니다.
이러한 발음을 반복적으로 연습하면 발음 정확도를 높일 수 있으며, 'shadowspeaks' 기법을 통해 더더욱 개선할 수 있습니다. 'shadow speak' 기법을 사용하여 비디오의 내용을 따라 말해보세요. 그렇게 하면 자연스럽게 긴장을 풀고, 더 유창한 대화가 가능할 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.
