Hey, it's Esther.

When I was a kid, sometimes my family forgot to turn the TV off after we were done watching a show.

Because the TV stayed on, I'd catch a glimpse of the shows that were on late.

And every once in a while, that meant I ended up watching a show that was scary.

The ones that creeped me out the most had these.

Vampires.

Someone named Alfredo has a question about vampires.

Let's give Alfredo a call now.

Hi, Esther.

Hey, Alfredo.

I have a question for you.

Are vampires you?

Great question.

You've probably heard of or seen stories about vampires, just like I did.

Vampires are always a little different in different stories.

Sometimes they're goofy, like Count Chocola or Mavis in the movie Hotel Transylvania.

Sometimes, they're scary.

But across many stories, vampires often have these things in common.

They have fangs, they drink blood, and they hide from sunlight.

What do you think?

Could a real living creature have all these characteristics?

Now would be a good time to pause the video and discuss.

us.

So far as scientists know, there are no humans who have all these qualities.

The human vampires we see in stories are made up.

However, I bet you can think of animals that do have at least some of these qualities.

There are even some wild animals that have vampire in their names.

Let's take a closer look.

You might be able to think of lots of animals who only go out when it's dark outside.

Many animals are nocturnal.

They are awake and active at night.

This is true of everything from flying squirrels to moray eels.

But the vampires in our stories, they don't just stay up all night, they actively avoid the sun.

In some stories, a vampire that sees sunlight burns up into a pile of ashes.

Being awake at night is different from never seeing the sun.

Still, there are some creatures that never see sunlight because of where or how they live.

For example, check out this creepy creature.

This animal lives in the deepest, darkest waters of the ocean, where there's almost no light at all.

And it's called a vampire squid.

Besides living in the dark, see if you can tell what else about this animal is vampire-like.

Some of these animals are blood red, others midnight black, but they all have this webbing connecting their arms.

It kind of looks like a vampire's cape.

Still, vampire squid don't do some things the vampires in stories do.

They don't drink blood.

In fact, vampire squids aren't even hunters.

They're scavengers, which means they eat things that are already dead.

and they don't have a vampire's famous long sharp teeth.

So let's see if there are any animals that have those teeth.

Lots of animals have impressive chompers.

Check out the teeth on this hippo, or this baboon, or this fish, or even this deer.

Animals use sharp teeth for different purposes, to smash food or tear into meat or fight off and defend themselves from challenging animals.

But story vampires use their teeth for a really specific purpose.

They use them to drink blood.

So do any animals drink blood?

You're probably already familiar with one animal who drinks blood all the time.

Mosquitoes.

These tiny creatures have thin, needle-like mouth parts that use to pierce skin and suck blood.

But these aren't the only animals who enjoy a blood meal every now and then.

Like check these out.

These moths are also blood suckers.

Like mosquitoes, they have a thin pointy mouth part at the front of their face

that they use to pierce skin and drink blood.

These animals are called, you guessed it, vampire moths.

Okay, so there are plenty of animals that avoid sunlight or have fangs or drink blood.

But does any animal do all three of these things?

I'd like to introduce you to the vampire bats.

These creatures are nocturnal.

They're much more active at night, and during the day, they prefer to spend their time inside dark caves, so not much sunlight for them.

They might not have teeth the size of hippos, but if you look closely, wow, they have impressively sharp fangs,

which they use to help them drink blood.

And not only that, but look at their leathery dark wings.

Kind of looks like a vampire's cape, right?

And in some stories, vampires like these have the power to transform into an animal, specifically bats.

So wait, are vampire bats true vampires?

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Story vampires may be able to transform into bats, but vampire bats can't transform into people.

And vampire bats aren't obsessed with chasing down humans to drink their blood.

They drink the blood of cows and horses mostly.

Still, you gotta say, as far as animals go, the vampire bat is probably more like a vampire than any other creature.

So in summary, no, vampires aren't real.

Not the human ones in stories anyway.

However, many animals do have traits we associate with fictional vampires, such as having fangs, drinking blood, and hiding from sunlight.

Some of these animals even reminded scientists of vampire stories so much that scientists named them after vampires,

like the vampire squid, the vampire moth, and of course, vampire bats.

But they're still not vampires.

Not really.

Still, dramatic animals like these can give writers and storytellers ideas for incredible,

fantastical monsters, like vampires, dragons, werewolves, and so many others we see in our favorite scary stories.

The animal kingdom is wild.

It's full of so many bizarre and beautiful creatures.

No wonder they've inspired humans to tell creepy and wacky and wild tales for years and years.

Maybe you'll invent a fantastical creature based on your favorite animals.

That's all for this week's question.

Thanks Alfredo for asking.

We want to know what you're curious about.

FOR YOU

이 클립으로 연습할 영어 회화 목표

이 비디오는 영어 회화 연습에 적합한 자료로, 특히 추리적 사고와 설명 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. "뱀파이어가 실제로 존재할까?"라는 주제를 통해 일상적인 질문에 대해 논리적으로 답변하는 방법을 배우고, 동물의 특징을 설명하는 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다. shadow speech (쉐도잉) 연습을 하면 자연스러운 발음과 리듬을 익히는 데도 도움이 됩니다.

반복해서 사용할 수 있는 표현 모음

"What do you think? Could a real living creature have all these characteristics?" (무슨 생각해? 실제로 살아있는 생물이 이 모든 특징을 가질 수 있을까?)
"Besides living in the dark, see if you can tell what else about this animal is vampire-like." (어둠에서 사는 것 외에도, 이 동물이 뱀파이어와 다른 점이 무엇인지 알아볼 수 있을까?)
"Still, [동물 이름] don't do some things the vampires in stories do." (그래도 [동물 이름]은 이야기 속 뱀파이어가 하는 일을 하지 않습니다.)
"Check out the teeth on this [동물 이름]!" (이 [동물 이름]의 이빨을 봐요!)

연습하면서 고쳐야 할 약점

이 비디오는 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 발음과 리듬을 개선하는 데 좋습니다. 특히 "vampire squid" (뱀파이어 오징어), "scavengers" (청소부 동물)와 같은 전문 용어의 발음, 그리고 "What do you think?"와 같은 질문의 억양을 연습할 수 있습니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비자라면 "동물의 특징을 설명하는 구조"를 익히는 데 도움이 됩니다. 예를 들어, "뱀파이어 오징어는 어둡게 사는데, 피를 마시지는 않아요"와 같이 대조적인 정보를 연결하는 표현을 연습하면 자연스러운 회화 능력이 향상됩니다.

쉐도잉을 할 때는 발화자의 속도와 강세를 따라하려고 노력하세요. "And every once in a while, that meant I ended up watching a show that was scary."와 같은 긴 문장도 부드럽게 발음할 수 있도록 반복 연습하면 좋습니다.

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.
