쉐도잉 연습: CAE8 O TEST1 PART3 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Today I'm talking to two professional kayakers, Glenda Beachley and Declan Spate, who's now making a name for himself in the spin-off sport of wild water racing.
2
Glenda, first of all, why kayaking?
3
What do you get out of the sport?
4
Well, I started at six when my dad let me paddle his boat in the practice pool.
5
We'd do drills.
6
I've been at a professional level for six years, recently going full-time.
7
Kayaking's a very addictive sport.
8
It's something you want to get better at no matter how good you are.
9
But what really appeals to me about kayaking is that it calls for several different skills to be used simultaneously.
10
It requires not only physical strength but mental tolerance.
11
You have to train your brain not to panic when you roll over, to think instead of the process needed to roll your boat back up.
12
Then an added bonus is that when you're on the water, it's you and the river.
13
You control the boat and plan your line through.
14
So what would you say to anyone interested in taking up kayaking?
15
Hopefully, if you join a club, there'll be people to train with and share vital advice gained from years of experience.
16
But however much training you decide to do, keep it up.
17
I started by going paddling once a week, slowly building up to several times a day over many years.
18
But most importantly, when you first start kayaking, just have fun.
19
Don't make it about racing and being the best kayaker in the world.
20
Just learn as much as you can.
21
My friends and I used to keep each other progressing.
22
What I mean by that is when one of your friends learns a trick that you can't do, that's all the more reason to train harder and learn the trick faster.
23
and it works both ways so we all advanced in the sport.
24
So tell us about wild water racing, Declan.
25
It's a race on a predetermined section of river.
26
You set off at 60 second intervals.
27
It's just you and the river.
28
You don't have to follow a particular route.
29
It's up to you to figure out which line is fastest.
30
Training can be hard, physically and psychologically, especially when the weather's bad and there aren't many competitions coming up.
31
but it's worth it in the summer when the big ones come around.
32
Training for me involves being on the water, gym sessions and running to help maintain aerobic fitness.
33
I have to ensure I eat enough of the right things to keep myself in the best shape possible, but paddling definitely builds up an appetite.
34
So is kayaking dangerous?
35
White water kayaking can be.
36
Often a small mistake can push you off the right line and you end up paying for it.
37
When I first started out, I felt intimidated by certain stretches of river.
38
I'd weigh up the risks and only have a go once I felt up to the challenge.
39
And I'm still doing that.
40
Sure, you feel exhilarated by the challenge, but you shouldn't actually be scared.
41
when you start progressing and trying new things, you still get that rush of adrenaline.
42
But you do need to avoid taking unnecessary chances.
43
Things can still go wrong, of course.
44
I've had a few nasty spills where I got beaten about a bit, but I've been lucky enough not to sustain a serious injury.
45
What about equipment, Declan?
46
I always go back to the gear I didn't have to replace over the course of a full year on the water.
47
A good many bits of costly equipment didn't make it to any reasonable expectation of a useful lifespan.
48
Kit's a very personal thing, though.
49
What suits one person might not suit the next.
50
It's great that there's a huge range on offer, but it's tough doing the research yourself.
51
As a beginner, I'd say get some insider tips from someone in the know.
52
Don't just follow your instinct, because whatever you do choose, make sure it's fitted out nicely for you.
53
A comfortable boat and set of paddles that you can rely on makes the world of difference.
54
So both of you, what's your best memory of kayaking?
55
One of the best things is that it's a very social sport.
56
It's all about interacting with other people.
57
So although the first time I was selected for the national team
58
and winning my first medal in and international competition are great memories.
59
Probably my most valued are those when I'm on a great trip, getting to know new rivers and their surroundings, in the company of fellow kayakers I trust and get on with.
60
This year, the high spot for me was landing in Tasmania with my training partner Sam, to find that all the rivers were in flood, making each one flow.
61
Over the space of a few weeks, we paddled lots of them, some of which hadn't flowed in over 20 years.
62
And And I've met kayakers from all over the world.
63
I mean, I've had experiences I wouldn't have missed for the world, on and off the river.
64
Now play the recording again.
65
That is the end of part three.
66
Now turn to part four.

이 클립의 말하기 목표

이 영상은 IELTS 스피킹과 같은 실제 의사소통에서 필요한 자연스러운 흐름과 구체적인 경험 기술을 연습할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다. 프로페셔널들의 이야기를 통해 일상적인 질문에 대해 상세하고 논리적인 답변을 구성하는 방법을 배우며, 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 발음과 리듬을 개선할 수 있습니다. 특히 "어떤 스포츠를 시작하는 이유", "훈련 방법", "위험성" 등 다양한 주제에 대해 자연스럽게 이야기하는 능력을 키우는 데 중점을 둡니다.

유용한 표현 모음

  • "making a name for himself" - 자신의 이름을 알리다
  • "calls for several different skills to be used simultaneously" - 여러 가지 기술을 동시에 사용해야 한다
  • "weigh up the risks" - 위험을 평가하다
  • "sustain a serious injury" - 심각한 부상을 입다
  • "a huge range on offer" - 다양한 선택지가 제공되다

이 표현들은 영상 영어 공부에서 자주 등장하는 실용적인 구문으로, shadowspeak 연습에 적합합니다. 반복적으로 말하면서 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있도록 연습하세요.

약점을 보완하는 방법

이 대화에서는 "kayaking", "wild water racing"과 같은 전문 용어의 발음이 중요합니다. 특히 "paddling" (패들링), "aerobic" (유산소)의 발음을 주의해야 하며, 영어 발음 교정을 위해 쉐도잉을 할 때는 단어 사이의 연결음과 강세를 살펴보세요. 또한, 긴 문장을 자연스럽게 말하는 리듬을 연습하기 위해서는 발화 속도를 조절하고, 쉼표나 마침표에서 적절히 멈추는 연습이 필요합니다. 이를 통해 자연스러운 말하기 능력을 크게 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

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.
