레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hey there!
2
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.
3
Today I want to help you with one of the trickiest moments in small talk.
4
It's that question that comes around every single week.
5
How was your weekend?
6
Does this question ever make you panic a little?
7
Especially when the honest answer is nothing, nothing exciting anyway.
8
So then you panic and you wonder what should I say?
9
If I just say nothing, they'll think I'm boring.
10
It'll be really awkward and the conversation will just sort of end.
11
Don't panic because this speaking practice lesson will help to quash those fears.
12
You can have a really quiet weekend and still sound confident,
13
friendly and interesting when you talk about it.
14
So here's the thing about small talk in English -speaking countries.
15
Talking about your weekend is completely normal.
16
In fact, it's expected actually.
17
It's a really light and easy way to connect with people especially on a Monday morning or on a Friday afternoon.
18
Now in some cultures, this can feel a little strange, maybe even nosy.
19
Sometimes my students say to me, why should I tell my colleagues about my personal life?
20
And I'm curious, let me know down in the comments if it's common in your culture to talk about your weekend with your colleagues.
21
Well here, it's the opposite.
22
If you don't engage, if you don't respond,
23
that will feel rude, it will feel like you're intentionally distancing yourself from them.
24
So if you don't really want to share about your personal life,
25
it's totally okay to just keep it short or even to make something up.
26
The goal is just to keep the conversation warm and to keep the conversation moving, okay?
27
Today I'm going to tell you about my quiet, uneventful weekend like they often are.
28
Not every weekend is exciting, right?
29
But it doesn't need to stop your conversation short especially if you know what to say.
30
Before we start,
31
let me quickly explain how this practice works because it is so powerful for your pronunciation and your speaking fluency.
32
You're going to hear the exact same story three times over.
33
First, you'll just listen.
34
Then, you'll repeat after me, phrase by phrase.
35
And the third time, you'll shadow me.
36
And that means speaking at the same time as me.
37
Just like you're singing along to your favourite song, especially when you know the lyrics.
38
And when you have practised imitating me enough and you want to practise speaking in real conversations yourself with real people,
39
then come and join Hey Lady.
40
As a member, you'll have unlimited conversation practise.
41
Lots of speaking opportunities whenever you need it.
42
So there are plenty of informal conversations
43
that happen inside Hey Lady where you can practise talking about your weekend and asking questions about other people's weekends.
44
In step one, just listen, listen for new words, listen to the tone of my voice.
45
Hey Emma, how was your weekend?
46
Not too eventful, but I got lots of things done around the house.
47
On Saturday, I spent quite a bit of time in the garden actually.
48
I planted some tomatoes and snow peas and tidied up a bit.
49
Then I watched a great movie and my Sunday morning, oh, it was bliss.
50
It was bucketing down outside and I had nowhere to be so I let myself have a slow start.
51
Oh, I got stuck into a good book for a few hours
52
and later on I took the dog for a walk
53
and I made a big batch of pumpkin soup which will keep me going all week.
54
So even though I didn't do much, it still felt really productive.
55
What about you?
56
Now in step two, repeat after me.
57
You'll hear me say the line and then there'll be a pause after so you can copy me exactly as you hear.
58
Hey Emma, how was your weekend?
59
Not too eventful.
60
But I got lots of things done around the house.
61
On Saturday I spent quite a bit of time in the garden actually.
62
I planted some tomatoes and snow peas.
63
...and tidied up a bit.
64
Then I watched a great movie.
65
And my Sunday morning, it was bliss.
66
It was bucketing down outside.
67
And I had nowhere to be.
68
So I let myself have a slow start.
69
Oh, I got stuck into a good book for a few hours.
70
And later on I took the dog for a walk
71
and I made a big batch of pumpkin soup which will keep me going all week.
72
So even though I didn't do much, It still felt really productive.
73
What about you?
74
Now try to shadow me, speak along with me, following the rhythm and the intonation of my voice.
75
Hey Emma, how was your weekend?
76
Not too eventful but I got lots of things done around the house.
77
On Saturday, I spent quite a bit of time in the garden actually.
78
I planted some tomatoes and snow peas and tidied up a bit.
79
Then I watched a great movie and my Sunday morning, oh it was bliss!
80
It was bucketing down outside and I had nowhere to be so I let myself have a slow start.
81
Oh I got stuck into a good book for a few hours and later on, I took the dog for a walk
82
and I made a big batch of pumpkin soup which will keep me going all week.
83
So even though I didn't do much, it still felt really productive.
84
What about you? So well done!
85
You got your speaking practice in today and hopefully I've also shown you
86
that you can answer this really common small talk question in a way
87
that helps you to share more about yourself and to keep the conversation going.
88
Something I really want to highlight for you is just how relatable this kind of response is.
89
By sharing this information, even if it doesn't seem important or super interesting,
90
you're sharing more about yourself and about your interests and you're making it easy and enjoyable to talk to you.
91
So when I answered that question, I talked about gardening, a movie, the weather, sleeping in, reading and cooking.
92
So the person who asked that question, how was your weekend?
93
Well now they have a whole range of different topics or ideas that they can follow up with,
94
they can ask more information about to keep the conversation going.
95
Can you think of a follow -up question that you would ask me?
96
Write it down in the comments if you can think of a way to keep that conversation going.
97
In fact, practising these simple everyday conversations is something that you can do so easily inside Hey Lady.

99
I hope that you enjoyed today's speaking practice.
100
I'll see you again same time, same place next week.
101
See you then.

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.
