쉐도잉 연습: English Shadowing Challenge | Practice Speaking Real-Life Conversations - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
This is the final day of the seven day shadowing challenge.
2
If you've been here every day this week, I am so proud of you.
3
You've practiced six real life conversations already,
4
and your mouth has done more English work in seven days than most learners do in a month. So congratulations.
5
Today's conversation is the hardest one of the week.
6
Of course, I saved it for last on purpose.
7
is not what you were supposed to get, you have to call customer service, stay calm, explain what went wrong, and push for a solution without being rude.
8
This requires a very specific kind of language, the kind most English learners never practice because it means asking for things, not just being polite.
9
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first.
10
To raise a complaint.
11
To raise a complaint means to formally tell a company that something went wrong and that you expect it to be fixed.
12
It is more serious than casually mentioning a problem.
13
Next, order number.
14
Your order number is the reference code you receive when you buy something online.
15
Always have it ready before you call customer service.
16
It will be the first thing they ask for.
17
Then, Incorrect item An incorrect item means you received the wrong product.
18
A different color, the wrong size, or something completely different from what you actually ordered.
19
Next, to process a return, and when a company processes a return, they begin the steps to collect the wrong item back and issue a refund or send a replacement.
20
Then, Prepaid Return Label.
21
A Prepaid Return Label is a shipping label the company sends you
22
so you can post the item back without paying for postage yourself.
23
They cover the cost.
24
Next, Replacement.
25
A replacement is a new, correct version of the item the company sends you in place of the wrong or damaged one you received.
26
Then refund.
27
A refund is your money returned to you, usually back to the original card or account you paid with.
28
Next, to escalate.
29
To escalate means to take your complaint to a higher level.
30
You asked to speak to a supervisor or manager when the first person was unable to resolve it.
31
Then, Priority shipping.
32
Priority Shipping is a faster delivery option that gets your package to use sooner than standard shipping usually for an extra fee.
33
And finally, to bear with someone.
34
To bear with someone means to stay patient while they look something up or sort something out.
35
"Bear with me" is a natural, polite way of asking you to wait just a moment.
36
By the way, since this is the final day, I want to tell you about something that pairs really well with the work you've been doing all the week.
37
It's called Turbo English.
38
It's buy two, get one free, on the LinguaTrip handbooks.
39
We built two different sets depending on where you're stuck.
40
The first set is for speaking and vocabulary.
41
It's for you if you have been shadowing with me all week and you want to keep going.
42
It gives you the natural expressions native speakers use in If today's complaint dialogue felt hard,
43
this set is what you need next.
44
And the second set is for grammar.
45
It's for you if you keep getting confused by the same grammar rules over and over, especially the tenses.
46
Present perfect versus past simple, conditionals, all the things that make you hesitate when you speak.
47
The set breaks them down with examples that actually stick.
48
Each set is around $12, less than one private lesson, and because it's buy two, get one free, you're really getting three handbooks for the price of two.
49
is in the description.
50
Okay, now let's get into today's conversation, the last one of our challenge.
51
- Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
52
Customer Service.
53
My name is Ryan.
54
How can I help you today?
55
Hi Ryan, I am calling because I received my order yesterday, but there is a problem with it.
56
I got completely the wrong item.
57
Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
58
I can absolutely help you sort this out.
59
Can I start with your order number?
60
Yes, it is MC -4.
61
49 -28731.
62
Thank you.
63
Bear with me one moment while I pull that up.
64
Okay.
65
I have got your order here.
66
You ordered the gray wool throw blanket, correct?
67
That is right!
68
But what I actually received was a blue cotton one.
69
Different color.
70
Completely different material.
71
I completely understand, and I sincerely apologize for that.
72
That should not have happened.
73
So what I can do is arrange a return of the incorrect item and get the right one sent out to you.
74
Okay.
75
And realistically, how long is all of that going to take?
76
Because I bought this as a birthday gift and the birthday is coming up soon.
77
I understand the time pressure, so the process is normally this: we email you a prepaid return label, at no cost to you.
78
you send the item back.
79
And once we receive it, we process the return within two to three business days.
80
The replacement would then ship and reach you in five to seven business days after that.
81
That might be too slow, honestly.
82
The birthday is 10 days away.
83
Is there anything you can do to speed it up?
84
Let me see what options I have.
85
I can flag your replacement as priority shipping, which would bring the delivery time down to two to three business days after we process the return.
86
I want to be upfront though.
87
I cannot promise an exact date.
88
I appreciate the honesty.
89
Can I ask one more thing?
90
Do I need to wait for you to receive the return before you send the replacement?
91
Or is there any way to send it out now?
92
Given that this was your mistake, not mine, That is a fair point.
93
And I completely understand why you are asking.
94
Normally we do require the return to be initiated first, But given that this was our error, Let me check with my supervisor and see what I can do.
95
Would you mind holding for just a minute?
96
Not at all.
97
Go ahead.
98
Thank you so much for holding.
99
So I spoke with my supervisor, and because this was clearly our mistake, We are going to ship the correct item out to you today with priority shipping.
100
You do not need to wait.
101
You will receive a separate email with a prepaid return label for the Blue Throw
102
and you have 30 days to send it back at your convenience.
103
That is brilliant.
104
I really appreciate you sorting that out.
105
It is absolutely the least we can do.
106
You will get a confirmation email within the hour with a new tracking number.
107
Is there anything else?
108
I can help you with.
109
No, that is everything.
110
Honestly, thank you so much, Ryan.
111
You handled this really well.
112
That means a lot.
113
Thank you.
114
I hope the gift arrives in time and that your friend has a wonderful birthday.
115
Thank you.
116
Fingers crossed.
117
Have a good day.
118
You too.
119
Take care.
120
Goodbye.
121
Bye.
122
Now it is your turn.
123
The conversation will play again, and this time, say the customer's words out loud at the exact same time you hear them.
124
Same pace.
125
Do not wait.
126
Here we go.
127

이 수업에 대해

이번 수업에서는 실생활 대화를 통해 고객 서비스와 관련된 문제를 해결하는 방법을 연습합니다. 이 대화에서는 잘못된 주문을 신고하고 적절한 해결책을 요구하는 상황을 다룹니다. 이 과정에서 'shadowspeak' 기법을 활용하여 자연스러운 발음을 익히고, 실제로 사용되는 영어 표현을 연습함으로써 영어 실력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 특히, IELTS 스피킹에서 요구되는 능력을 기르는 데에도 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

주요 어휘 및 구문

  • 불만 제기하기 (to raise a complaint) - 문제를 공식적으로 알리고 해결을 요구하는 행위
  • 주문 번호 (order number) - 온라인에서 구매할 때 발급되는 참조 코드
  • 잘못된 상품 (incorrect item) - 주문했던 상품과 다른 것을 수령하는 경우
  • 반품 처리하기 (to process a return) - 잘못된 상품을 반품하고 환불하거나 교환하는 절차
  • 선불 반송 라벨 (prepaid return label) - 반품 시 배송비 없이 사용할 수 있는 라벨
  • 교환 (replacement) - 잘못된 상품 대신 올바른 상품을 발송받는 것
  • 환불 (refund) - 지불한 금액이 반환되는 것
  • 상승시키다 (to escalate) - 불만을 상위 관리자에게 전달하는 것

연습 팁

이번 대화는 일주일의 마지막 날 이루어지는 상황으로, 다른 대화보다 난이도가 높습니다. 그렇기 때문에 shadowspeaks 기법을 활용하여 천천히 그리고 정확하게 따라 해보는 것이 중요합니다. 고객 서비스 통화 시 긴장을 풀고, 상대방에게 진심으로 해결을 요청하는 태도를 유지하세요. 특히, “견디면서 기다려 주세요 (Bear with me)”와 같은 자연스러운 표현을 사용하여 상대방을 배려하도록 합니다. 이러한 대화 연습을 통해 shadow speech 능력을 향상시키고, 실제 상황에서도 자신감을 가지고 대화할 수 있게 될 것입니다. 계속해서 연습하고, 이 과정을 통해 학습한 표현들을 적극적으로 사용하세요!

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.
