Hey everybody, welcome to this B1 English Listening Practice video.
2
You can use this video to train your listening and comprehension as I speak.
3
You ready?
4
So today, I'm going to talk about Christmas.
5
I imagine this is a topic that many of you guys really like.
6
Right now, we're in the middle of the Christmas season, so all kinds of festivities are taking place.
7
Let's talk first about when Christmas is celebrated.
8
In the US, Christmas is on December 25th, so this is the day that we're referring to when we say Christmas.
9
But I know that in many other countries, the 24th is actually more important than the 25th.
10
It's common practice in plenty of countries to celebrate on the night of the 24th.
11
And in some countries, the party starts at midnight.
12
Many families in the US also celebrate on Christmas Eve, the 24th, but it's not a given.
13
Some people only have their family party on the 25th, the actual day of Christmas.
14
I think nowadays though, it's become customary for Americans to celebrate on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day, because it gives us an excuse to have two days of festivities instead of just one.
15
So for example, when I was growing up, my family usually spent Christmas Eve with my dad's side of the family, and then Christmas Day with my mom's side of the family.
16
This is fairly common in the US now.
17
Alright now let's talk about presents.
18
I'm not a big fan of exchanging gifts, but I have to, because that's the tradition.
19
In the US, we usually open presents on Christmas morning.
20
Children wake up early and then wake their parents up, and then the children get to open up all the presents from under the tree and in their stockings.
21
Then maybe later in the day, you get together with your relatives and exchange more gifts with them.
22
I know that this is different from a lot of other countries, where people open their presents on the night of the 24th.
23
Another thing that differs depending on your country is what you do during the Christmas celebration.
24
In many Latin American countries, it's common to sing and dance with your family during the Christmas party, but this is a lot less common in the US.
25
It's more about talking, sharing a meal together, and catching up with relatives that you haven't seen all year.
26
Okay, now let's talk about the meal.
27
There's a lot of variety when it comes to this, but some of the staples of the traditional American Christmas meal include ham, potatoes, salad, vegetables, dinner rolls, and plenty of yummy desserts.
28
Needless to say, this is one of the best meals of the year for most people.
29
A couple of the traditional foods and drinks that my family has are cinnamon rolls and apple cider.
30
I always look forward to having these two things every year.
31
Okay, lastly, let's talk about decorations.
32
This is perhaps the most visible element of the Christmas season.
33
In the US, many, many people put up Christmas lights on the outside of their house and in their front yard.
34
I'd say there are a few different levels of how serious people get when it comes to their Christmas lights.
35
Firstly, you've got your normal, casually lit houses that have just one or two streams of lights along the roof.
36
Then you've got your houses that have a lot of lights and decorations and look very festive and beautiful.
37
And lastly, you've got your candy cane lane type of houses that are covered completely in impressive and creative decorations.
38
These are the houses that people come from all over the city just to see.
39
I go with my family every year to see these houses.
40
They're really cool.
41
And talking about decorations, there's the Christmas tree, which everyone loves.
42
I'm sure you all know about Christmas trees.
43
Okay, that's all for today.
44
Leave a comment and tell me what your Christmas traditions are.
45
I'll see you next time.
46
Bye.

이 레슨에 대해

"B1 English Listening Practice - Christmas"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

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.
