1
Imagine yourself standing on a beach, looking out over the ocean, waves crashing against the shore, blue as far as your eyes can see.
2
Let it really sink in, the sheer scope and size of it all.
3
Now, ask yourself, "How big is it?
4
How big is the ocean?" First thing, we need to understand that there really is only one ocean, consisting of five component basins that we call the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Arctic, and the Southern.
5
Each of these five, while generally referred to as oceans in and of themselves, are really and truly a part of a single, massive body of water, one ocean, which defines the very face of planet Earth.
6
The ocean covers roughly 71% of our planet's surface, some 360 million square kilometers, an area in excess of the size of 36 USAs.
7
It’s such a vast spread, when viewed from space, the ocean is, by far, the dominant feature of our planet.
8
Speaking of space, the ocean currently holds over 1.3 billion— that’s billion with a “b”— cubic kilometers of water.
9
Put another way, that’s enough water to immerse the entire United States under a body of salt water over 132 kilometers tall— a height well beyond the reach of the highest clouds and extending deep into the upper atmosphere.
10
With all that volume, the ocean represents 97% of Earth’s total water content.
11
On top of all that, the ocean contains upwards of 99% of the world’s biosphere, that is, the spaces and places where life exists.
12
Now let that sink in for a second.
13
The immediate world as we know it, indeed the totality of all the living space encompassed by the continents themselves, all of that represents only 1% of the biosphere— 1%!
14
The ocean is everything else.
15
So, the ocean is physically massive.
16
It's importance to life is practically unparalleled.
17
It also happens to hold the greatest geological features of our planet.
18
Quickly, here are four of the most notable.
19
The ocean contains the world's largest mountain range, the mid-ocean ridge.
20
At roughly 65,000 kilometers long, this underwater range is some 10 times longer than the longest mountain chain found purely on dry land— the Andes.
21
Beneath the Denmark Strait exists the world’s largest waterfall.
22
This massive cataract carries roughly 116 times more water per second over its edge than the Congo River’s Inga Falls, the largest waterfall by volume on land.
23
The world's tallest mountain is actually found in the ocean, hiding in plain sight.
24
While 4,200 meters of Hawaii’s Mauna Kea sit above sea level, its sides plummet beneath the waves for another 5,800 meters.
25
From its snow-covered top to it’s silt-covered bottom, then, this Hawaiian mountain is roughly 10,000 meters in height, dwarfing tiny Everest’s paltry peak by well over a kilometer.
26
And, since we’re picking on poor Everest, let's consider the world's deepest canyon, the Challenger Deep: existing 11 kilometers below the ocean's surface, some six times deeper than the Grand Canyon.
27
That's deep enough to sink Mount Everest into and still have over 2.1 kilometers of water sitting atop its newly submerged peak.
28
Put another way, the depth of the Challenger Deep is roughly the same height that commercial airliners travel.
29
So, pretty much however you choose to slice it, the ocean is capital B, capital I, capital G— BIG!
30
It defines our planet, home to the greatest geological features, comprises the largest living space, and accordingly, is home to the greatest numbers and forms of life on Earth.
31
It is practically incomprehensible in scope.
32
But it is not so big, so vast, so extraordinary as to be untouchable.
33
In fact, with roughly 50% of the world's population living within 100 kilometers of a coastline, and with most of the remainder living close enough to lakes, rivers, or swamps, all of which ultimately lead to the ocean, virtually every single person on the planet has the opportunity to influence the general health and nature of the world ocean.
34
Evidence of human influence is seen in every part of the ocean, no matter how deep, no matter how distant.
35
The ocean defines our planet, but, in a very real sense, we define the ocean.

이 수업에 대하여

이 수업에서는 “바다의 크기”에 대한 흥미로운 정보를 통해 영어 listening과 speaking 능력을 향상시키는 연습을 합니다. Scott Gass의 유튜브 영상을 바탕으로 바다의 중요성과 지구에서의 역할을 배우며, 쉐도잉 기법을 활용하여 발음을 향상시키고 자연스러운 문장 구조를 익힐 수 있습니다. 이 영상은 해양 생태계와 관련된 동적이고 매력적인 내용을 다루고 있어, 약간의 심층적인 어휘를 배울 수 있는 좋은 기회입니다.

핵심 어휘 및 구문

  • ocean - 바다
  • cubic kilometers - 입방킬로미터
  • biosphere - 생물권
  • mountain range - 산맥
  • waterfall - 폭포
  • depth - 깊이
  • influence - 영향을 미치다
  • geological features - 지질적 특징

연습 팁

이 영상의 쉐도잉을 할 때, 발음과 억양에 주의하는 것이 중요합니다. 영상의 속도는 일반적인 대화보다 약간 느리기 때문에, 처음에는 따라 하기가 쉬울 것입니다. 영어 쉐도잉 방법을 사용할 때는 영상의 목소리와 함께 즉각적으로 똑같이 따라 해 보세요. 잠시 멈추고 발음을 연습하는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 그리고 천천히 말을 하면서 자신의 목소리를 녹음해서 들어보면, 발음의 정확도를 높이고 IELTS 스피킹 시험 준비에도 유익합니다. 해양의 크기와 그 특성에 대한 중요한 정보를 익히므로, 보다 효율적인 유튜브 영어 공부가 될 것입니다. 매일 조금씩 연습하면 자연스럽게 영어 말하기 능력이 향상될 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.
