Hello and welcome to another episode of Wildlife Crystal.
2
I'm your host, Wildlife Crystal, a wild animal specialist.
3
As you know, on this show Wildlife Crystal,
4
we are going to be learning fun facts about one animal and their environment every episode.
5
I'm here with my very special co-host,
6
the one and only Kaya the Koala.
7
Oh, hey guys!
8
I was thinking, can we talk about an animal that has broken a world record?
9
You know, because I've broken the world record of being one of the cutest hosts on the planet.
10
Oh, yes, you are extremely cute.
11
The cutest in the world?
12
I love your confidence, Kaya,
13
and I think it's a great idea.
14
Let's discuss an animal who has a world record-breaking skill.
15
I have just the animal in mind.
16
Try and guess.
17
The animal we are going to discuss today is the fastest land animal on Earth.
18
Hmm, is it a horse?
19
That's a great guess, but nope.
20
The fastest land animal in the world is the cheetah.
21
I knew that.
22
How fast do they run?
23
Cheetahs can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
24
To put that in perspective,
25
the fastest human in the world ran 28 miles per hour.
26
So cheetahs are really fast.
27
They can accelerate from 0 to 68 miles per hour in just 3 seconds.
28
And cheetahs are the only big cat that can turn in midair while sprinting.
29
Also, another fun fact, when cheetahs are running full speed,
30
their stride, which is the length between their steps, is 21 feet.
31
That's like jumping over the length of two small cars.
32
Their feet only touch the ground twice during each stride.
33
That's incredible!
34
Cheetahs are really amazing.
35
And I heard their bodies are built for speed.
36
Is that true?
37
Oh, yes.
38
For many reasons.
39
First, the cheetah has a long muscular tail that is flat-shaped.
40
The tail is like a rudder on a boat
41
because they use it to help control their steering and keep their balance when they're running very fast.
42
Second, the cheetahs have special cleat feet.
43
The cheetah has what's called semi-non-retractable claws,
44
a lot like a dog's claws
45
that work like cleats on a football shoe to give the cheetah lots of traction while running.
46
The pads on most cats' paws are very soft,
47
but the cheetah's pads are hard,
48
kind of like rubber tires.
49
This also helps them grip the ground when they're running super fast.
50
These cats sound cool.
51
Do you think they would ever hang out with me?
52
Well, maybe male cheetahs.
53
Male cheetahs live in small family groups of two to three brothers called coalitions.
54
But female cheetahs are solitary.
55
That means that they spend most of their life alone.
56
If they're not alone, they are living with their babies,
57
also known as cubs.
58
Yay!
59
Tell us about cheetah cubs.
60
Like I was saying before,
61
male cheetahs don't remain with the females after mating and do not help take care of the cheetah babies either.
62
Female cheetahs, on the other hand,
63
are caring, affectionate and dedicated mothers.
64
Female cheetahs give birth to a litter of 2-8 cubs in a secluded spot like a hidden rocky area
65
or a marshy area with tall grass.
66
They do this because the cubs are very vulnerable to predators and many do not survive their first year.
67
When the baby cubs are very young,
68
the mother cheetah will leave her cubs hidden while she hunts for food.
69
But around six weeks old,
70
mom will start teaching the essential survival skills like hunting.
71
But don't worry, the young cubs do have some traits
72
that help them camouflage in with their surroundings when mom is off hunting.
73
Cheetah cubs have long hair
74
that runs down the back of their neck all the way down to the base of their tail called the mantle.
75
The The mantle helps the cheetah cubs blend into the tall grass,
76
which helps keep them safe from threats like lions or hyenas.
77
Very interesting, and I love cheetah moms.
78
They're the best.
79
What do cheetahs hunt for?
80
Cheetahs are carnivores, which means they need meat mainly to survive.
81
Their diet is made up of primarily smaller mammals such as antelopes, gazelles, and impalas.
82
They will also feed on wildebeest calves,
83
babies, and sometimes smaller animals like rabbits and birds.
84
Did you know that while lions and leopards usually do their hunting at night,
85
cheetahs hunt for food during the day?
86
Here's an interesting fact about cheetahs.
87
Because they live in an environment where water is hard to come by,
88
cheetahs can survive on one drink of water every three or four days.
89
Not humans.
90
We need to constantly be drinking water every day.
91
Wow, that's interesting.
92
Tell us more fun facts about cheetahs.
93
Let's talk about their beautiful spotted fur.
94
Cheetah's fur is covered in solid black spots,
95
and so is their skin.
96
The black fur actually grows out of the black spots of their skin.
97
And if you're curious, cheetahs have about 2,000 to 3,000 spots,
98
which help them camouflage themselves.
99
Also, like football players, cheetahs have built-in sun glare protection around their eyes.
100
The cheetah's tear mask is made of black fur,
101
and it runs from the inside corners of their eyes down the outside edges of their mouth.
102
These marks help reflect the glare of the sun when they're hunting during the day.
103
They work just like the black marks that football players put under their eyes during their games.
104
Super cool!
105
Where do cheetahs live?
106
Before, cheetahs were widespread across Africa and Asian continents,
107
but now they are confined mostly to dry,
108
open grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa,
109
with the majority living in natural reserves or parks.
110
This leads me to my next topic, which is very sad.
111
Did you know that there are fewer than 7,500 cheetahs left in the wild,
112
making the cheetah Africa's most endangered big cat?
113
Years ago, cheetahs were hunted for their beautiful spotted fur, which is awful.
114
And today, one of the biggest threats to their survival is loss of habitat.
115
As we've learned in previous episodes of Wildlife Crystal,
116
this means humans are building homes and roads where cheetahs and other animals live and hunt for survival.
117
While humans need these things,
118
it's important to build them where animals are not already living.
119
Another thing you and your family can do right now to help cheetahs
120
and all animals with fur is to never buy clothing that is made out of the fur of another animal.
121
There is no humane way to take fur from an animal.
122
Animals like cheetahs will suffer very painful death if they're killed for their own fur.
123
Humane means having sympathy and consideration for people and animals.
124
You are amazing if you are a humane person.
125
The fur of an animal belongs to them, not us.
126
Let's all work together to make sure that animals and humans live in harmony.
127
Let's always be kind and respectful to every creature on this planet.
128
And now it's question time!
129
Yes, yes, yes.
130
Kaya, are you as excited as I am to put the knowledge we just learned today to the test?
131
I sure am!
132
What traits make the cheetah built for speed?
133
Is it A, their cleat-like semi-retractable claws,
134
B, their strong flat tail that helps them balance,
135
C, the thick rubber-like pads on the bottom of their feet,
136
or D, all of the above?
137
The correct answer is D, all of the above.
138
Cheetahs are definitely built for speed.
139
True or false, cheetahs are the fastest land mammal on earth.
140
The answer is true, cheetahs can run up to 70 miles per hour.
141
What is a baby cheetah called?
142
Is it A, a puppy?
143
B, a cub?
144
C, a kit?
145
Or D, a calf?
146
The correct answer is B, a cub.
147
You guys did perfect.
148
Kaya and I have to go,
149
but we will be learning fun facts about another animal next week.
150
See you next time on Wildlife Crystal.
151
Bye.
152
Thanks, guys.
153
Thanks for coming.
154
Toodles.
155

이 수업에 대하여
이번 수업에서는 치타에 관한 흥미로운 사실들을 익히며 영어를 연습합니다. 영상에서 치타가 지구상에서 가장 빠른 육상 동물이라는 점과 그들의 신체 구조가 속도에 어떻게 최적화되어 있는지를 배울 것입니다. 이런 내용을 통해 여러분은 다양한 동물 관련 어휘와 구문을 익히고, 자연스러운 발음과 억양을 연습할 수 있습니다.
주요 어휘 및 구문
- fastest - 가장 빠른
- land animal - 육상 동물
- speed - 속도
- stride - 보폭
- non-retractable claws - 비철회성 발톱
- traction - 접지력
- balance - 균형
- control - 제어하다
연습 팁
영어 쉐도잉 연습을 통해 발음과 억양을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 이 영상의 스피드는 적당히 빠르기 때문에, 처음에는 천천히 따라 해보세요. shadowspeaks 기법을 사용하여 각 단어와 구문을 반복하면서 저자의 억양에 주의하세요. 예를 들어, 치타의 속도에 대한 부분에서 “Cheetahs can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour” 이라는 문장을 쉐도잉하면, 발음을 정확하게 연습할 수 있습니다. 이처럼 유튜브 영어 공부를 한다면 자연스럽게 영어 실력이 향상될 것입니다. 마지막으로, 치타의 독특한 신체 구조에 관한 설명을 들으며, “The tail is like a rudder on a boat” 부분도 함께 연습해야 합니다. 이러한 습관을 기르면 듣기 능력과 함께 말하기 능력도 자연스럽게 개선됩니다.
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.
