Hey, check this out.
2
You know what Eric asked me when I got into work this morning?
3
I have no idea.
4
What did he ask you?
5
He asked me if I felt the earthquake last night.
6
Earthquake?
7
You've got to be kidding.
8
I didn't feel an earthquake.
9
I know.
10
That's what I said.
11
He told me it actually woke him up last night.
12
What?
13
Yeah.
14
It happened at like 4.42 in the morning,
15
so we must have been sleeping.
16
But, I mean, it's possible that even if we had been awake,
17
we might not have felt it because maybe it wasn't felt this far north.
18
But, I mean, I thought he was pulling my leg when he first talked about it.
19
Well, I guess that's not so far-fetched considering we live on a major fault line here.
20
Yeah, but actually I think this earthquake was on a different fault line.
21
because Eric lives just south of San Jose.
22
Yeah.
23
And the earthquake, he said,
24
was due east of San Jose.
25
So he was obviously a lot closer to the epicenter than we were.
26
So I'm not even sure it was felt here.
27
Yeah, that makes sense.
28
Well, you know, I've experienced quite a few earthquakes in the past several years,
29
but I've been living here now a little over two years.
30
I think I've only experienced one here.
31
It was really strange too.
32
I was, each, I should say each earthquake has been a completely different experience,
33
but the one I, the one I felt here,
34
I was standing outside a restaurant talking to AJ and another friend
35
and all of a sudden it just felt like this shift.
36
It's really hard to explain,
37
but it made me think of like a cartoon,
38
like how in the cartoon,
39
like buildings might just shift to the right and then shift right back.
40
Yeah, without falling.
41
Yeah, without falling.
42
And I had no idea what was going on for a few minutes afterwards.
43
And then I realized, oh,
44
that must have been an earthquake.
45
Yeah, you know what I usually notice?
46
The times that I've been at home here,
47
and there's been an earthquake,
48
it's almost as if there's this really big train or like a gigantic Mack truck
49
going by and suddenly I start to hear the heater shaking
50
and it's like the noise is like is loud for like a second and then it's gone.
51
That's so weird.
52
You know, it's almost like the first couple of times I felt it.
53
I wasn't even aware it was an earthquake while it was happening.
54
Well, that's so funny you say that because one that I experienced in Bangkok,
55
it actually was after the tsunami and so later I found out
56
that it was it was aftershock from the tsunami
57
but anyway I was in a building up on the ninth floor
58
and suddenly there was all this rattling and I'm thinking to myself it just it was so irrational I'm thinking to myself,
59
God, there's like a train going by and I can't believe that this building is shaking so much from the train.
60
And of course, a train wouldn't have made a building
61
or at least me up on the ninth floor feel something to that effect.
62
And I think it happened about two times.
63
And that one wasn't until several days later when I was talking to people and they were like,
64
oh, you feel the earthquake then it dawned on me oh
65
that was an earthquake yeah it was no it's uh it's crazy how
66
when you're not used to feeling them you could think it's
67
something else yeah i mean yeah totally i've been living here for a
68
while now and i've definitely felt my share of earthquakes i mean you know
69
when you live here it's a given
70
that you're going to experience earthquakes you just hope
71
that you're not going to be here for the big one you know right when i first moved here.
72
It was about five years after the Loma Prieta earthquake,
73
which was a very big earthquake here.
74
And there are a lot of people who lived here who
75
I met who had actually been living in the area when the earthquake hit.
76
So it was interesting to get their perspective.
77
And it also made me remember where I was when I heard about the Loma Prieta earthquake.
78
I was watching the World Series on TV and it was taking place in San Francisco.
79
So as I'm watching it,
80
suddenly the announcer starts saying,
81
wow, I think we're feeling an earthquake here.
82
And the cameras started shaking and all of a sudden the TV coverage cut out.
83
So, you know, I wanted to get a rundown of what happened.
84
So I turned to the news station
85
and within a few minutes they were discussing this gigantic earthquake
86
that had hit San Francisco
87
and they started showing pictures maybe 30 minutes later of these
88
people who were trying to weed through the rubble of these buildings
89
that had been like coming down
90
so I mean it was it was pretty scary I'll tell
91
you yeah you know yeah well um you know the three
92
months I was living in Japan I experienced two both of
93
those were very different uh very different from the one I'd experienced here
94
and also very different from the one in Bangkok
95
but one of them I was actually up in my apartment
96
which was on the fifth floor of a building
97
and I was woken up at about five o'clock in the morning to the building swaying
98
And because earthquakes are like a dime a dozen in Japan,
99
they've built a lot of their buildings to absorb the shock.
100
So that's why it was swaying.
101
It was a very surreal feel.

이 수업에 대하여
이번 수업에서는 지진에 대한 실제 영어 회화를 통해 다양한 상황에서의 대화 기술을 연습합니다. 대화에서는 지진에 대한 경험과 느꼈던 감정, 그리고 주변 사람들과의 대화를 통해 자연스러운 영어 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다. 이러한 연습은 영어 발음 교정에 도움이 되며, IELTS 스피킹 섹션에서도 유용하게 활용될 수 있습니다.
주요 어휘 및 표현
- Earthquake - 지진
- Epicenter - 진앙
- Fault line - 단층선
- Woke up - 깨다
- Shift - 움직이다, 이동하다
- Strange - 이상한
- Experience - 경험하다
- Train or Mack truck - 기차나 대형 트럭과 같은 소음
연습 팁
영상의 속도와 어조에 맞춰 영어 쉐도잉을 하는 것이 중요합니다. 먼저, 대화를 들으면서 내용을 이해한 후, 각 문장을 천천히 따라 해보세요. 이 과정에서 정확한 발음과 억양을 익힐 수 있습니다. 대화의 자연스러운 흐름을 느끼기 위해, 여러 번 반복해서 연습하는 것이 좋습니다. 지진이라는 주제가 불안감을 줄 수 있지만, 그만큼 솔직한 감정을 전달하는 좋은 기회라고 생각하세요. 이렇게 실제 대화를 모방함으로써, 영어 회화 연습이 더욱 자연스럽고 유익해질 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.
