Hello and welcome to Real Easy English.

In this podcast we have real conversations in easy English to help you learn.

I'm Georgie.

And I'm Neil.

And don't forget, you can now watch a version of this podcast on our website at bbclearningenglish.com.

How are you today?

I'm pretty good.

How about you?

Yes, I'm good.

It's the morning, so my brain is fresh and ready for the day.

Excellent, because we're talking today about our brains.

We are.

We're going to talk about how we keep our minds active, so kind of like exercise for our brains.

Shall we get started?

Let's do it.

So, Neil, do you think you have a good memory?

Well, it depends.

I can remember things that happened years ago that don't seem very significant at all, and then I can struggle to remember what I did at the weekend.

I have the same problem.

I guess that's the difference between our long-term memory, so that's things that happened a long time ago,

and the short-term memory, so things that we did this morning, I also struggled to remember what I had for breakfast and things like that.

So Neil, is there a time recently where you couldn't remember something and it was annoying?

Well, I did a quiz with my daughter and she's 15 and quite sharp, and I knew all of the answers.

I mean, I have better general knowledge than her, I think.

But she said all the answers quicker than me.

I think just the distance between her brain and her mouth is shorter than mine.

Were the answers on the tip of your tongue?

The answers were on the tip of my tongue, but they just didn't get a chance to get out there.

So I have a story as well, a time when I couldn't remember something.

My friend was talking about something, about an event where I was, and I didn't remember it at all.

And she had to ask another friend to get evidence to prove to me

that it had happened because I didn't believe her.

And it was so strange because it was true that it happened, but I didn't remember it.

Do you think you have a quick brain?

Um, I don't actually.

I'm the kind of person that needs some time to process things.

What people have said, or, yeah, I don't like it when people ask me my opinions of things on the spot.

I prefer to think about things and form my opinions in my own time.

So no, I have a slow brain.

Okay.

What do you do to keep your mind active?

Well, I like to study languages and that's very good for the brain

because you've got to remember all kinds of things

and what order they're said in and what happens to the words and that kind of thing. And I like reading.

You have to use your brain to read to follow a story.

But I don't do puzzles and crosswords and Sudoku and all of those things that other people do.

Maybe I should.

Yeah, I do jigsaw puzzles, although I haven't done that much recently.

I also, I think exercise is quite good for your brain.

Is that true?

It gets you out of the house, you get some fresh air.

I feel like that's quite good for your brain.

What kind of things, Georgie, make your brain less effective?

Well, my brain, as I said at the beginning, works better in the morning.

In the afternoon, my brain starts not working very well, so I tend to do less important tasks in the afternoon.

I also think that before I go to sleep, if I use my phone too much,

too much screen time, I sleep worse and then I wake up feeling a lot less functional in my brain.

What about you?

Yeah, I agree.

I think sleep is massively important.

If I haven't slept well, then it's very hard to use my brain effectively the next day.

Yeah, and that's quite common for you, unfortunately, isn't it?

Hey, that's life.

OK, let's recap the language we heard during the conversation.

We talked about our memories.

Your memory is your ability to remember things.

Yes, and Georgie mentioned short and long-term memory.

Short-term memory is for things that happened recently, and long-term memory is for things that happened a long time ago, even when you were a child.

We also heard sharp, which is an adjective used to describe someone who thinks quickly.

We heard on the tip of your tongue, which is an expression which means that something is there that you want to say but you can't say it quickly enough.

We also heard screen time, so this is the amount of time someone spends looking at their screen.

So your phone, a tablet, a computer...

That's it for this episode of Real Easy English.

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.
