Could apples, berries and cacao improve our memory as we get older?
2
This is News Review from BBC Learning English.

I'm Neil.

And I'm Beth.

Now the story.
9
What you eat could improve your memory as you age.
10
That's according to new research in the US that found people with a diet rich in flavanols
11
may be less likely to lose their memory.
12
The substance is found in tea,
13
berries, apples and cacao, the seeds that chocolate is made from.
14
But while some scientists think eating more dark chocolate could help,
15
others say more research is needed.
16
You've been looking at the headlines, Beth.
17
What's the vocabulary?
18
We have keep something at bay, stave off and drive.
19
This is News Review from BBC Learning English.
20
Let's look at our first headline.
21
This is from the Mail Online.
22
Six squares of dark chocolate a day may keep the memory loss at bay.
23
So, this headline is suggesting that eating dark chocolate can help prevent you from losing your memory as you get older.
24
The expression we are looking at is keep something at bay.
25
It's quite a strange-sounding expression.
26
What does it mean?
27
Well, quite simply, it means to stop something bad or dangerous,
28
harmful from happening to you.
29
So, in this case, the harmful thing is memory loss.
30
We want to prevent memory loss,
31
so we want to keep it at bay.
32
Yes.
33
And this expression does have a wider use.
34
It's not only about memory loss.
35
No, it's not.
36
We can use it for lots of harmful things,
37
but it is often related to health.
38
So, for example, washing your hands can keep infections at bay,
39
or exercising can keep heart disease at bay.
40
Yes.
41
And take note, we can also use the word but hold instead of keep,
42
hold something at bay, it means exactly the same thing.
43
Let's look at that again.
44
Let's look at our next headline.
45
This is from The Guardian.
46
Tea, apples and berries could stave off age-related memory loss, study suggests.
47
Again, this headline is about preventing something bad from happening to us,
48
in this case memory loss.
49
The expression we're going to look at is stave off.
50
Now, that word stave, that's an old-fashioned sounding word for a long stick, isn't it?
51
It is, yeah.
52
And it might help you to think about that long stick to understand this expression.
53
So, Neil, imagine something is physically threatening you,
54
maybe a pack of wild dogs,
55
and you have a long stick.
56
What are you going to do with it?
57
Well, if a pack of wild dogs was attacking me,
58
I would use that long stick to protect myself.
59
Maybe I could wave it and the dogs would go away.
60
That's a strong mental image.
61
It might help you to remember the meaning of this phrasal verb,
62
but actually we don't usually use stave off in a literal sense anymore.
63
We don't, but it does have the same meaning.
64
It just means to prevent something bad from happening,
65
just like our first expression, keep something at bay.
66
And again, this is something we often use with health.
67
Some people say that drinking orange juice can stave off a cold.
68
but we can also use it to mean prevent other general negative things.
69
Yes.
70
And one more interesting thing to note.
71
Stave off is a phrasal verb,
72
and it's the kind of phrasal verb that you can split in the middle.
73
So, you can say, orange juice staves off colds,
74
or you can say, orange juice staves colds off.
75
Let's look at that again.
76
Let's look at our next headline.
77
This is from The Independent.
78
Diet low in flavanols may drive age-related memory loss, scientists claim.
79
So, this headline is looking at the same story,
80
but from the opposite angle.
81
It's saying that a diet low in flavanols – now,
82
that's that substance that you find in apples,
83
berries, tea and cacao – a diet low in that could cause memory loss.
84
And the word we're looking at is drive,
85
a familiar word used differently here.
86
Yes, but we're not talking about cars here.
87
So, drive actually has a wider meaning than the one we all know connected to cars and driving.
88
It can also mean to force something in a certain direction.
89
Yes.
90
So, when the headline says that a diet low in flavanols drives memory loss,
91
it means that that diet pushes in the direction of memory loss.
92
And in the same way,
93
when you drive a car,
94
actually what you're doing is just forcing it to go in a certain direction.
95
OK, let's look at that again.
96
We've had keep something at bay – prevent something bad affecting you.
97
Stave off – also prevent something bad affecting you.
98
And drive – force in a certain direction.
99
Did you know that exercise can also help our brains?

왜 이 동영상으로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오에서는 기억력과 식습관의 관계에 대해 이야기합니다. 이는 우리가 나이가 들면서 기억력을 유지하기 위해 도움이 될 수 있는 유용한 정보입니다. 동영상을 통해 영어 회화 연습을 하면, 건강과 식단에 관한 주제에 대해 자연스럽게 영어로 대화할 수 있는 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. shadow speak 기법을 활용하여 발음을 연습하고, 일상적인 대화에서 기억력과 관련된 주제를 다루는 데 자신감을 가질 수 있습니다. 영어로 건강한 생활습관과 관련된 이야기를 나누는 것은 매우 유익합니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • keep something at bay: 이 표현은 나쁜 것이나 위험한 것으로부터 지키는 것을 의미합니다. 예를 들어, "우리는 기억 상실을 keep at bay하고 싶다."라고 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • stave off: 이 표현은 무언가를 예방하는 데 사용됩니다. 비디오에서는 "tea, apples and berries could stave off age-related memory loss"로 쓰였습니다. 이는 노화와 관련된 기억력 저하를 예방하는 방법이라는 의미입니다.
  • drive: 비디오에서의 "drive"는 어떤 공격적인 행동이나 주장을 나타낼 때 사용됩니다. 예를 들어, "이 음식들은 기억력을 강화하는 drive를 가진다."라는 식으로 활용할 수 있습니다.

이러한 표현들은 특히 건강이나 영양에 관한 대화에서 자주 쓰이므로, 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 반복적으로 연습하면 더욱 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 주의 깊게 들어야 할 단어는 "keep", "stave", 그리고 "chocolate"입니다. 이 단어들은 일반적으로 빠른 말하기 속도에서 발음이 모호해질 수 있습니다. 특히, "stave off"에서 "stave"의 'a' 발음은 주의해야 할 부분입니다. 비디오를 보면서 함께 따라 읽어보고, 영어 발음 교정을 위한 연습이 필요합니다. 이런 식으로 반복해서 연습하면 자신의 발음이 개선되는 것을 느낄 수 있을 것입니다. 또한, shadow speech 기법을 활용해 틀린 발음을 교정하는 데 도움이 될 것입니다.

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.
