쉐도잉 연습: Dear Future Generations: Sorry (2026) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Dear Future Generations, I think I speak for the rest of us when I say, sorry.

Sorry we left you with our mess of a planet.

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something.

Sorry we listen to people who made excuses to do nothing.

I hope you forgive us, we just didn't realize how special the earth was, like a marriage gone wrong, we didn't know what we had until it was gone.

For example, I'm guessing you probably know it as the Amazon desert, right?

Well believe it or not, it was once called the Amazon Rainforest and there were billions of trees there, all of them gorgeous and...

Oh.

You don't know much about trees, do you?

Well, let me tell you, trees are amazing.

I mean, we literally breathe the air they are creating.

They clean up our pollution, our carbon.

They store and purify water, give us medicine that cures our diseases, food that feeds us.

Which is why I am so sorry to tell you that we burn them down.

I cut them down with brutal machines, horrific, at a rate of 40 football fields every minute.

That's 50% of all the trees in the world gone in the last hundred years.

Why? For this.

And that wouldn't make me so sad if it weren't so many pictures of leaves on it.

You know, when I was a child, I read how the Native Americans had such consideration for the planet

that they felt responsible for how they left the land for the next seven generations.

Which brings me great sorrow Because most of us today Don't even care about tomorrow

So I'm sorry I'm sorry

that we put profit above people Greed above need The rule

of gold above the golden rule I'm sorry we use nature

as a credit card With no spending limit Over drafting animals to extinction Stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness

Or become friends with them

Sorry we poisoned the oceans so much that you can't even swim in them But most of all,

I'm sorry about our mindset Cause we had the nerve to call this destruction Progress Hey Fox News,

if you don't think climate change is a threat I dare you to interview the thousands of homeless people in Bangladesh See,

while you were in your penthouse nestled Their homes were literally washed away beneath their feet due to rising sea levels.

And Sarah Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels.

Well, I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing

Who are forced to wear pollution masks just to go to school See you can ignore this,

but the thing about truth is It can be denied, not avoided

So I'm sorry future generations I'm sorry that our footprint became a sinkhole

and not a garden I'm sorry that we paid

so much attention to ISIS and very little to how fast the ice is melting in the Arctic.

I'm sorry we doomed you, and I'm sorry we couldn't find another planet in time to move to.

I am s— You know what?

Cut the beat.

I'm not sorry.

This future, I do not accept it.

Because an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.

We can redirect this.

How?

Let me suggest that if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy, they don't look at the branches to diagnose it, they look at the root.

So like that farmer, we must look at the root, and not to the branches of government, not to the politicians run by corporations.

We are the root, we are the foundation, this generation, it is up to us to take care of this planet, it is our only home.

We must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls and realize that we are not apart from nature, we are a part of nature.

And to betray nature is to betray us To save nature is to save us

Because whatever you're fighting for Racism or poverty Feminism, gay rights or any type of equality It won't matter in the least

Because if we don't all work together to save the environment, we will be equally extinct.

Sorry.

Hey guys, for the past several weeks I've been here in Africa, heart of Africa witnessing the horrific destruction of the rainforest which inspired me to write this piece.

Why are forests being destroyed at such an enormous rate? For this.

Today we live in a world where destroying trees makes you money.

So what can we normal people do about it?

One way to directly fight the destruction is to stand for trees.

By standing for trees not only can you save the lives of trees, help forest communities, and protect the rights of animals to live in their homes,

but you will also balance the amount of pollution that you yourself give off with your everyday activities, making you a part of the solution and not the problem.

This is the option that I chose, but whatever way that you choose to stand for trees, do it.

Because a wise man once said, when the rivers are all dried up and the trees cut down,

man will then realize that he will not be able to eat money.

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.
