쉐도잉 연습: How to start a presentation - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

1
Music It always strikes me how people think about their presentations or how they prepare their presentations.
2
I'm actually talking about the first words, the first sentences of a presentation.
3
What most people do is they think of a presentation so automatically you think about a PowerPoint.
4
So you make your slides.
5
You look at your slides and you think about what will I say showing each slide.
6
But my question to you is this: What are your first words?
7
What are the first sentences?
8
Very few people think about that.
9
Just think a minute about the presentations that you have already seen in the past, maybe the presentations that you have done yourself.
10
There is a cliché sentence that most speakers use to introduce their topic.
11
They say something like, good morning, good afternoon.
12
"My name is" if they don't know you.
13
And then there is this typical sentence: "Today I'm going to talk to you about." Now you might say,
14
"So what's the problem?" The problem with this sentence is that you're actually answering the wrong question.
15
You're answering the "what" question.
16
"What are you going to do?
17
I'm going to talk about." If you think about it, most audiences know what you're going to talk about.
18
Either you are introduced, or there is a program, or there is a meeting, so there is an agenda, so people know what your topic is all about.
19
The most interesting question to answer is the "why" question.
20
Why are you there? to talk about this topic and even more important, why is it important for the audience to listen to you?
21
So, my advice for you is to focus on the "why" question.
22
Now, how can you do that?
23
I advise people to focus on a story to begin their presentation.
24
Now, if you think about stories, stories begin with a timeframe.
25
Just Look at fairy tales.
26
They start with once upon a time.
27
I'm not going to suggest that you start your professional presentation with once upon a time, but you can start with a time frame.
28
Something like yesterday, two weeks ago, last year, three months ago.
29
Now what's the kind of story that you can share then?
30
Use real stories.
31
It has to be something that happened to you.
32
It has to be something that you heard.
33
So you can refer to a conversation you had with a colleague.
34
You can say something like, day I had a conversation with, but then there has to be a reason why you refer to that conversation.
35
And there is this linking sentence that I use in lots of presentations.
36
I tell my story, and then I continue saying, now why do I tell you this?
37
Because my objective or my goal with this presentation is to.
38
So what you can do is be very conscious of the company's stories, I might say.
39
It can be something that happened with a customer.
40
It can be an article you you heard about, it can be a conversation you had.
41
So use these stories to begin your presentation, link them to your goal, and it will be so much more interesting for your audience
42
because it will be crystal clear for them from the very first minute why it is important to them.
43
So next time you prepare your presentation, focus on that why question and tell them a story.

이 비디오로 스피킹 연습하는 이유

프레젠테이션을 시작하는 방법은 IELTS 스피킹 뿐만 아니라 일상 회의나 발표에서도 필수적인 기술입니다. 이 비디오는 "무엇을 할지"보다 "왜 중요한지"를 강조함으로써 청중의 관심을 사로잡는 비결을 알려줍니다. 특히 shadow speak (쉐도우 스피킹) 연습에 적합한데, 자연스러운 발화 패턴과 리듬을 따라하면서 실제 상황에서 사용할 수 있는 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다. 프레젠테이션 초반에 청중의 마음을 사로잡는 법을 배우면, 어떤 상황에서도 자신감 있게 이야기를 시작할 수 있게 됩니다.

문맥 속 문법과 표현

1. "Why do I tell you this?"

스토리를 이야기한 후에 사용하는 연결 문장으로, 청중의 주의를 끌고 "왜 이 스토리를 하는지"를 설명합니다. 이 표현을 사용하면 발표의 목적이 더 명확해지며, 청중과의 소통이 원활해집니다.

2. "My objective with this presentation is to..."

발표의 목적을 분명히 밝히는 표현입니다. "목표"를 강조할 때는 "objective" 대신 "goal"도 사용할 수 있으며, "is to" 뒤에 동사 원형을 붙여 목적을 구체적으로 설명합니다. shadowspeaks 연습을 할 때 이 표현의 리듬을 따라하면, 자연스러운 발화가 가능해집니다.

3. "It can be something that happened with a customer..."

스토리 소재를 제안할 때 사용하는 구조입니다. "something that..."은 구체적인 사례를 설명할 때 유용하며, 다양한 상황에 적용할 수 있습니다. 이 표현을 사용하면 발표가 더 생동감있고 신뢰성 있게 느껴집니다.

발음의 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. "presentation"은 [ˌpreznˈteɪʃn]으로 발음하며, "z"와 "sh"의 소리가 섞여 쉽게 틀리기 쉽습니다. "audience"는 [ˈɔːdiəns]로, "au"의 발음이 [ɔː]가 아니라 [ɑː]로 틀리지 않도록 주의해야 합니다. 또한 "objective"는 [əbˈdʒektɪv]로, "j"의 소리가 강조되어야 자연스러워집니다. shadow speech 연습을 할 때 이 단어들의 발음을 정확히 따라하면, 청중이 더 쉽게 이해할 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.
