1
The year is 2050 and your morning is not off to a good start.
2
School is closed for yet another heat day, meaning the kids need to stay home and the AC needs to stay on.
3
Your usual babysitter can’t come help because the rails for their commuter train were warped by the heat.
4
And to make matters worse, your dog is desperate for a walk, but the pavement is hot enough to give third degree burns to any paw or person that touches it.
5
In many parts of the world, this sweltering future is already here.
6
On average, heat waves are happening more often with greater intensity and for longer durations.
7
But according to a 2022 projection, by 2050, Earth’s mid-latitudes could be experiencing extreme heat between 90 and 180 days a year, with tropical regions enduring even more.
8
So, how hot is too hot, and what can people do to handle the heat?
9
While human bodies are decent at managing temperature, our cooling mechanisms only work under the right conditions.
10
When air temperatures climb, the hypothalamus tells blood vessels near the skin to widen, allowing more blood to flow near the body's surface and release heat.
11
This hormonal cascade also turns on our sweat glands.
12
As sweat evaporates, it pulls the heat from our skin.
13
But if humidity is high, the rate of evaporation slows and eventually stops.
14
Scientists use this principle to track humidity with a metric called wet-bulb temperature, in which they wrap a wet, room temperature cloth around a thermometer to see if evaporation will lower the reading.
15
If it doesn't, it's too humid for sweat to cool us off.
16
A wet-bulb temperature of roughly 35°C is generally considered the limit of human survival, though current temperatures rarely reach this threshold.
17
The US National Weather Service uses the relationship between humidity and air temperature as the basis for their heat index.
18
As those two metrics rise, so too does the heat index; and heat is considered dangerous if the index climbs above 39.4°C.
19
That’s 103°F.
20
But even a lower heat index can be hazardous over multiple days.
21
A heat wave is a streak of two or more days of unusually hot weather for a place and season.
22
For example, a string of 32°C days in Houston, Texas, is standard in the summer, but would constitute a heat wave in March.
23
And the impact of these events touches nearly every aspect of daily life.
24
Imagine a June heat wave strikes a tropical city.
25
The first to experience effects are outdoor workers.
26
Their excessive sweating leads to dehydration and muscle pain known as heat cramps.
27
If they push on, their conditions could worsen to heat exhaustion and even heat stroke— a life-threatening ailment that occurs when a body’s temperature exceeds 40°C.
28
Medical emergency calls spike across the city, often for children and people who are pregnant or elderly.
29
The heat also increases hospital visits for heart, kidney, and lung-related conditions, creating an influx of patients that threatens to overwhelm medical providers.
30
Over the following week, the city slows to a crawl.
31
Schools and construction sites close.
32
Airplanes need to reduce their weight limits to take off, bumping countless travelers from their flights.
33
Restaurants shut down as overheated kitchens become unbearable.
34
Residents who remain inside with air conditioners stay safe.
35
But blasting AC isn’t cheap, and many families have to choose between keeping cool and staying fed.
36
Either way, if the heat continues, the stress of these air conditioners could overwhelm the power grid, potentially leading to city-wide outages.
37
These consequences are all very real.
38
Each year, close to 500,000 people die due to excessive heat, and these extreme conditions are only growing more common.
39
We can limit medical impacts by seeking help for heat-related illnesses, staying hydrated, and keeping people cool through public access to water and AC.
40
But don’t let anyone tell you 1 to 2 degrees doesn’t matter.
41
It will change our very way of life.

이 수업에 대하여

이 수업에서는 극심한 더위가 인체에 미치는 영향에 대해 배우며, 관련된 영어 문장과 어휘를 연습합니다. 우리의 발음을 개선하고, 영어에 대한 자신감을 높이기 위해 'shadow speech' 기법을 사용하여 자연스럽게 발화를 익힐 수 있습니다. 영상을 통해 듣기만 하는 것이 아니라, 직접 따라 말해 보며 영어 발음 교정에 집중하는 좋은 기회가 될 것입니다.

핵심 어휘 및 구문

  • heat wave (폭염)
  • humidity (습도)
  • heat exhaustion (열탈진)
  • heat stroke (열사병)
  • wet-bulb temperature (습구온도)
  • dehydration (탈수)
  • hazardous (위험한)
  • medical emergency (응급 의료)

연습 팁

영상의 속도와 톤에 맞춰 shadow speak 연습을 할 때는, 처음에는 천천히 따라 말해 보세요. 말을 따라 하면서 어조와 발음을 주의 깊게 살펴보세요. 특히 어려운 단어들은 반복적으로 연습하며 자연스럽게 발음이 나올 수 있도록 하세요. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 다양한 발음 패턴과 리듬을 익히는 것은 유익합니다. 또한, IELTS 스피킹에서 요구하는 유창한 발화를 위한 연습으로도 이어질 수 있습니다. 영상을 여러 번 감상하면서, 내 목소리로 따라 말해 보세요. 이렇게 연습을 통해 긴 문장도 자연스럽게 발음할 수 있는 능력을 기를 수 있습니다.

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.
