1
An important lesson we've learned over the last few years is
2
that most work doesn't need to be tethered to a physical office.
3
Upwards of one-fifth of the world's companies are now fully remote, and more professionals are choosing to work away from the office.
4
The increase in the number of remote workers following the COVID-19 pandemic indicates a new normal.
5
This new normal provides many workers and their families unique opportunities to work where they want, travel when they want, and often combine the two.
6
For example, the surge in remote work is seen in how Airbnb guests now use the platform.
7
Many guests choose to live and work away from home for extended periods of time, and long-term stays of 28 days or more continue to be Airbnb's fastest-growing category.
8
One in five nights booked in 2022 were for stays of a month or longer, and nearly 175,000 guests booked stays lasting 90 days or longer.
9
Consider the experience of my friend Jerry, who works as an investment manager.
10
Before the pandemic, I couldn't travel for long
11
because I always had to be back home in Wisconsin to meet with my clients in person.
12
After the pandemic, however, everyone has become comfortable with Zoom meetings and meeting online.
13
This has opened the opportunity to live in southern France with my family for a month at a time.
14
If I've got good Wi-Fi and a quiet place to talk with my clients, I can live and work from anywhere.
15
These opportunities don't just apply to established professionals.
16
Consider the experience of Anya, a young photographer and social media dilettante I met in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
17
I'm thinking of moving to Turkey, and then Japan, to work for six months at a time.
18
I've always wanted to experience these cultures, and because I freelance online, I can work from anywhere.
19
Anya and Jerry are classic examples of what are becoming popularly known as digital nomads, or people who work almost entirely over the internet while traveling.
20
Digital nomads don't always have to be away from home or the office, but their jobs offer the flexibility to work remotely and experience new cultures while doing so.
21
Some live, travel, and work for a month during the summer, while others are constantly on the move, taking all their worldly possessions with them.
22
Life as a digital nomad is not as easy or glamorous as it sounds.
23
Consider one nomad who works for a Silicon Valley tech company based in San Francisco.
24
Most of the time, it's a lot of fun.
25
You make new friends, experience new cultures, and break out of the usual monotony of daily routines.
26
However, there are plenty of moments when you just want to pack up and go home.
27
You get lonely for family and friends and stability.
28
Research shows that the number one reason digital nomads return home is because of loneliness.
29
When you're on the road all the time, you begin to question your purpose, stated a Spaniard living in Georgia in Eastern Europe.
30
Getting back to base on a regular basis is nice and helps ground you in what really matters.
31
As if loneliness and lack of stability weren't enough, Killjoy bosses and their friends in HR make it more difficult to be a digital nomad.
32
I spoke to an HR manager at Allianz in Munich, Germany who said, We all want to live and work abroad,
33
but the potential legal and cybersecurity liabilities can be stifling.
34
Right now, we allow all our people to be digital nomads for one month a year, and we need to approve the country they are living in,
35
as some countries present significant cybersecurity risks for our business.
36
The month-long limitation is because of employment tax issues.
37
After purchasing Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk removed the company's previous
38
work-from-home-forever policy and required Twitter employees to work 40 hours per week in the office unless they were making an excellent contribution.
39
In an email to managers, Musk stated, it is expected that you have in-person meetings with your colleagues on a reasonable cadence,
40
ideally weekly, but not less than once per month.
41
Even Airbnb, with a multi-billion-dollar market that has helped make life as a digital nomad possible,
42
must cull its own employees by keeping roughly two dozen countries off-limits
43
and limiting employees' foreign stays to no more than three months per year.
44
Turns out that it is difficult for companies to allow digital nomads.
45
For example, rules for business registrations, payroll and income taxes, and workers' compensation insurance vary from state to state in the U.S.
46
Moreover, it's difficult to keep data secure when you don't know where it resides.
47
These legal and security challenges make it difficult for companies to allow digital nomads.
48
Despite these challenges, digital nomads may be a tremendous benefit for companies that traditionally struggle to attract direct foreign investment.
49
Digital nomads tend to flock to lower-cost countries with fewer formal institutions that attract companies.
50
Such lack of formal institutions offers an element of excitement, adventure, and lower cost of living Moreover,
51
digital nomads are introduced to new and innovative ideas
52
because they spend a portion of work time outside the company
53

이 클립의 말하기 목표

이 비디오는 유튜브 영어 공부에서 실제 생활 속 이야기를 다루기 때문에, 일상 대화뿐 아니라 전 세계 이슈를 논할 수 있는 IELTS 스피킹 실력도 키울 수 있습니다. 특히 "디지털 노마드"와 같은 현대적 주제를 자연스럽게 표현하는 능력을 기르고, 긴 문장을 흐르게 말하는 리듬을 연습할 수 있습니다. shadow speech (쉐도잉) 연습에 적합해요. 내용을 따라 말하면서 발음과 억양, 패턴을 익히면 실제 대화에서 더 자신감 있게 말할 수 있을 거예요.

핵심 표현 모음

  • "tethered to a physical office" (물리적 사무실에 묶여 있는)
  • "break out of the usual monotony" (평소의 단조로움에서 벗어나다)
  • "legal and cybersecurity liabilities" (법적 및 사이버 보안 책임)
  • "lower cost of living" (낮은 생활비)
  • "question your purpose" (자신의 목적을 의문시하다)

이 표현들은 shadowspeaks 연습에 좋습니다. 문맥과 함께 외워서 다양한 상황에서 사용해 보세요.

약점을 고치는 방법

이 비디오는 영어 발음 교정뿐 아니라 리듬과 억양을 개선하는 데 도움됩니다. 특히 긴 문장에서 쉼표나 마침표를 기준으로 말의 흐름을 조절하는 법을 배울 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 "Most of the time, it's a lot of fun. You make new friends, experience new cultures, and break out of the usual monotony of daily routines."라는 문장은 쉼표가 있는 부분에서 약간의 휴지가 필요합니다. shadow speech를 할 때는 발화 속도를 따라가면서 쉬는 시간을 주의 깊게 관찰하세요. 이렇게 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에서도 자연스러운 말하기 실력을 보여줄 수 있습니다. 또한, "loneliness"나 "liabilities"와 같은 어려운 단어의 발음도 반복해서 연습해 보세요.

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.
