1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at the sentence rhythm and intonation in the IELTS sample answer.
4
Describe the first paid work that you ever did.
5
Let's have a look.
6
The very first paid work I did.
7
So we start low, and then we keep going high for the whole rest of the sentence.
8
The very first paid work I did, and we kind of stress did,
9
was probably, was probably, was probably one night, was probably one night, kind of rise and fall here.
10
When I helped out at a restaurant, when I helped out at a restaurant,
11
we stress restaurant because it's kind of introducing the topic of the whole section of speech.
12
Helped out at a restaurant, that my aunt owned.
13
Helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned.
14
Then my aunt owned.
15
So we stress aunt and everything else is a little bit quieter and lower.
16
When I helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned.
17
I must have been about 15 at the time.
18
I must have been about 15 at the time.
19
Here the word 15 sometimes has a strong stress on the syllable teen to make it clear
20
that I'm not even native speakers sometimes make the mistake between 15 and 50 when they're listening.
21
But it's clear that I'm not talking about being 50 years old, so I can say it very casually without having to stress that word.
22
I must have been about 15 at the time.
23
About 15 at the time.
24
At the time.
25
We go down at the end of the sentence.
26
The restaurant had a bar.
27
The restaurant had a bar.
28
Kind of go low at the beginning again, and then down when we stress bar.
29
We stress bar because we're bringing in new information.
30
The restaurant had a bar.
31
The The restaurant had a bar, and that night some rich guy, and that night, and that night some rich guy,
32
I'm continuing my sentence, and so I'm kind of going up and staying high for a lot of it.
33
And that night some rich guy had a birthday party there with a ton of people.
34
Birthday party there with a ton of people.
35
Birthday party there with a ton of people.
36
So we'll kind of go down when we're not stressing with birthday party there with a ton of people, with a ton of people.
37
We went down on those words and we stressed birthday and people.
38
Some rich guy had a birthday party there with a ton of people, and so my aunt asked if I would help out.
39
And so my aunt asked if I would help out.
40
I go rising
41
and falling over this part of of the sentence to this is actually a really long sentence
42
and it even seems a little weird when it's written out.
43
Normally in writing you very rarely see sentences this long.
44
But it's really common when you're telling a story to continue adding details like this.
45
However, this sentence is just about three sections long.
46
And if I added more and more sections to four,
47
five, six, then it would probably be a little bit too long and probably make the listeners confused.
48
So this would be a longer sentence than is normally spoken, but it's still not too long to cause confusion.
49
The restaurant had a bar and
50
that night some rich guy had a birthday party there with a ton of people
51
and so my aunt asked if I would help out.
52
I didn't do much, just brought up extra chairs from the basement, just brought up extra chairs from the basement, Just.
53
So just is not really a needed part of the sentence.
54
It's just really extra words.
55
It's padding to make the rhythm of the sentence sound good.
56
Because of that, we're going to drop the tone down.
57
Just, just brought up extra chairs.
58
Just brought up extra chairs from the basement.
59
from the extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage and took out the garbage and took out the garbage.
60
Here we have two verbs in the sentence that are both two words long.
61
You can see that each of them kind of gets a high tone.
62
Brought up, took out, just brought up extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage.
63
Took out the garbage.
64
Little things like that.
65
I'm stressing little to show that it's really not that important.
66
When I was 15, of course, they wouldn't let me do anything important at that restaurant, so I stress little, little things like that.
67
Stressing that lets the listener know that I don't think I was that important either.
68
I didn't do much, just brought up extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage.
69
Little things like that.
70
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid.
71
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid.
72
Kind of rise and fall, but we're still high during this beginning part.
73
That's because it's a little surprising.
74
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid.
75
I use kind of a high tone to show that I was surprised that I did get paid.
76
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid.
77
So it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash.
78
Surprise.
79
Cash.
80
Those words are what I want to express with the sentence, and so they get stressed.
81
So it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash.
82
So it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash at the end of the night.
83
Now you can see the rhythm throughout the whole sentence.
84
A nice surprise when she handed me some cash at the end of the night.
85
Of course, at the end of the sentence like that, you don't want to stress night very heavily.
86
At the end of the night.
87
Night.
88
At the end of the night.
89
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid, so it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash at the end of the night.
90
The very first paid work I did was probably one night when I helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned.
91
I must have been about 15 at the time.
92
The restaurant had a bar, and that night some rich guy had a birthday party there with a ton of people, and so my aunt asked if I would help out.
93
I didn't do much, just brought up extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage, little things like that.
94
I actually wasn't expecting to get paid, so it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash at the end of the night.

일반적인 발음 함정
영상에서 다루는 몇몇 단어들은 비원어민이 자주 헷갈리는 부분입니다. 특히 “15”와 “50”이라는 숫자는 발음하기에 따라 의미가 크게 달라질 수 있습니다. 따라서 “15”를 언급할 때는 teen의 발음에 강한 강세를 주는 것이 중요합니다.
또한 “aunt”라는 단어는 다양한 방언에 따라 발음이 다를 수 있으므로, 발음에 주의하여 연습해야 합니다. 이러한 발음 구별을 shadow speech 기법으로 연습하면 영어 원어민과의 소통에서 더 효과적입니다.
이 영상을 통해 말하기 연습이 아닌 듣기와 발음 연습까지 동시에 하면서, 여러분의 영어 실력을 한 단계 끌어올리길 바랍니다.
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.
