You ready?
5
So today, I'm going to talk about extreme sports.
6
I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but I've dabbled in some of these sports in the past.
7
Let's talk first about some of the most common ones.
8
The first sport that comes to my mind is skateboarding, which is something that I did when I was younger.
9
When I was about 14, my friends and I went through a skating phase like many other American teenagers do.
10
I didn't actually get that good at it, but I learned some simple tricks that I could probably still even do now if I tried.
11
I only did street skating, and I never actually tried vert skating.
12
Luckily, I didn't injure myself too bad during that time.
13
No broken bones or even any sprains.
14
The only thing that I hurt was my pride, when I ate it, or fell down really bad.
15
That phase of my life only lasted about a year and a half or so, and then I moved on to other things.
16
Another extreme sport that I've done several times is snowboarding.
17
My first snowboarding experience was downright miserable, because I didn't start out on the beginner slopes, or the bunny slopes as we call them.
18
Nope, my friends took me to the top of the mountain on my first go and wished me luck getting down.
19
I eventually did get down, but not before falling and eating snow time after time.
20
And since it was my first time, I had to break most of the way down, which puts your legs in a really uncomfortable position.
21
Needless to say, my lower body was completely beat after that first session.
22
However, the next two times that I went snowboarding were much better.
23
I actually got the hang of it and learned to do it the way it's supposed to be done.
24
So now I like it, and I'm looking forward to going again sometime.
25
My parents used to make me ski when I was young because they liked going to the mountains to ski, but I didn't like it.
26
Snowboarding's way more fun in my opinion.
27
So another popular extreme sport is surfing, which is pretty popular in my home state of California.
28
I tried surfing once, but I couldn't even stand up on the board really.
29
There are a couple times
30
when I sort of got into a semi standing position for a couple seconds and then I fell off.
31
The same thing happened to me when I tried wakeboarding.
32
If you don't know what this is, this is the sport where you're towed on the back of a boat while you ride the boat's wake, the little wave that trails behind the boat.
33
I couldn't even get into a standing position when I tried this.
34
I was able to stand up when I tried water skiing, but it was also really hard to keep my balance.
35
One other activity that I've done that might not really qualify as an extreme sport, but What is still cool is parasailing.
36
This is where you're attached to the back of a boat with a seat and a kite above you, and when the boat goes forward, you go flying in the air behind it.
37
It can be a little scary, especially if you're afraid of heights, but it's super fun.
38
I did this once when my family was on vacation in the Florida Keys.
39
Some of the other extreme sports that I haven't done include skydiving, bungee jumping, and hang gliding, which are probably the scariest of all the extreme sports.
40
Alright that's all for today.
41
Leave a comment and tell me which extreme sports you've tried.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 비디오를 통해 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 하면서 어려움을 극복하는 방법에 대해 알아보겠습니다. 쉐도스픽(shadowspeak) 방식으로 연습하면 듣기와 말하기 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

  1. 첫 단계: 비디오를 처음 볼 때, 전체 내용을 이해하는 데 집중하세요. 특별히 듣기 어려운 부분을 체크해 두세요.
  2. 두 번째 단계: 두 번째 시청에서는 강연자의 발음을 따라 해보세요. 초반에는 느리게 말하며 따라하고, 점차 속도를 올려보세요.

이러한 단계를 통해 보다 효과적인 영어 회화 연습과 영어 쉐도잉을 할 수 있습니다. 지속적인 연습과 피드백을 통해 영어 능력을 향상시키세요!

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.
