Section 4 You will hear part of a lecture about noise in cities.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Thank you.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
This lecture will be about the science of acoustics,
6
the study of sound, in relation to urban environments such as cities.
7
As an acoustic engineer myself,
8
I think this is an area where we're likely to see great changes.
9
In the past, researching urban soundscapes was simple.
10
We measured levels of sound in decibels,
11
so I used to take my sound meter and I measured the noise somewhere,
12
and then I might ask a sample of people to say at what level the sound became annoying.
13
With data like this,
14
acoustic engineers have been able to build up what we call noise maps – maps of the sound environment.
15
But actually, these aren't a lot of use.
16
What they do show is that the highest noise levels are generally on roads.
17
Well, that's not really very surprising.
18
But there's quite a lot going on that these maps don't show,
19
because they can't capture the complex way that sound varies over time.
20
So they ignore important issues such as the noise someone might hear from the open windows or gardens of their neighbours.
21
And this sort of noise can be quite significant in summer.
22
We don't have any databases on this sort of information.
23
As well as that, these records of sound levels take no account of the fact
24
that people vary in their perceptions of noise.
25
So someone like me with years of working in acoustics might be very different from you in that regard.
26
But anyway, even though these noise maps are fairly crude,
27
they've been useful in providing information and raising awareness that noise matters.
28
We need to deal with it,
29
and so it's a political matter.
30
And that's important.
31
We need rules and regulations because noise can cause all sorts of problems.
32
Those of you who are city dwellers know that things go on 24 hours a day,
33
so city dwellers often suffer from interrupted sleep.
34
It's also known that noise can lead to a rise in levels of stress
35
due to physical changes in the body affecting the composition of the blood.
36
And there are other problems as well.
37
For instance, if schoolchildren don't have a quiet place to study,
38
their work will suffer.
39
Now one problem with decibel measurement is that it doesn't differentiate between different types of noise.
40
Some types of sounds that most people would probably think of as nice
41
and relaxing might well score quite highly in decibel levels.
42
Think of the sound made by a fountain in a town square, for example.
43
That's not necessarily something that we'd want to control or reduce.
44
So maybe researchers should consider these sorts of sounds in urban design.
45
This is going to be tricky,
46
because just measuring decibel levels isn't going to help us here.
47
Instead, many researchers are using social science techniques,
48
studying people's emotional response to sound by using questionnaires and so on.
49
So what exactly do people want to hear in an urban environment?
50
Some recent interdisciplinary research has come out with results that at first sight seem contradictory.
51
A city needs to have a sense of activity,
52
so it needs to be lively,
53
with sounds like the clack of high heels on a pavement or the hiss of a coffee machine.
54
But these mustn't be too intrusive,
55
because at the same time we need to be able to relax.
56
One of the major problems in achieving this will be getting architects and town planners to use the research.
57
Apart from studying the basics of acoustics,
58
these people receive very little training in this area.
59
But in fact, they should be regarding sound as an opportunity to add to the experience of urban living,
60
whereas at present they tend to see it as something to be avoided or reduced as far as possible,
61
or something that's just a job for engineers,
62
like the street drainage system.
63
What's needed is for noise in cities to be regarded as an aesthetic quality,
64
as something that has the qualities of an art form.
65
If we acknowledge this, then we urgently need to know what governs it and how designers can work with it.
66
We need to develop a complex understanding of many factors.
67
What is the relationship between sound and culture?
68
What can we learn from disciplines such as psychology about the way that sound interacts with human development and social relationships,
69
and the way that sound affects our thoughts and feelings?
70
Can we learn anything from physics about the nature of sound itself?
71
Today's powerful technologies can also help us.
72
To show us their ideas and help us to imagine the effect their buildings will have,
73
architects and town planners already use virtual reality.
74
But these programmes are silent.
75
In the future, such programmes could use realistic sounds,
76
meaning that soundscapes could be explored before being built.
77
So hopefully, using the best technology we can lay our hands on,
78
The city of the future will be a pleasure to the ears as well as the eyes.
79
That is the end of Section 4.
80
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
81
Thank you.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 강의는 도시에서의 소음에 관한 과학적 조사와 그로 인한 문제들을 다룹니다. shadowspeak 기법을 활용하여 비디오를 통해 영어를 연습하면, 단순히 듣기 실력뿐만 아니라 말하기 능력 또한 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 특히 도시 환경에서 자주 접하는 주제인 소음과 관련된 대화는 실제 생활에서도 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 실생활 언어 사용을 자연스럽게 익히고, 다양한 의견을 나누는 연습을 할 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • “It's also known that…” – 이 표현은 일반적으로 널리 알려진 사실을 소개할 때 매우 유용합니다. 이 구조는 회화에서도 자주 사용됩니다.
  • “We need to deal with it…” – 특정 문제에 대한 필요성을 강조할 때 사용됩니다. shadow speech로 이 표현을 연습하면 강조하는 방법을 배울 수 있습니다.
  • “This is going to be tricky…” – 어려움을 예고하는 표현입니다. 이러한 사전 경고의 문장 구조는 대화에서 유용하게 쓸 수 있습니다.
  • “Some types of sounds…” – 다양한 소리 유형을 구분하여 설명할 때 유용한 표현입니다.

일반적인 발음 오류

이 강의에서는 몇 가지 발음이 중요한데, 특히 “decibel”과 “acoustics”는 비슷한 소리로 혼동될 수 있는 단어입니다. 이렇게 쉽게 혼동할 수 있는 단어를 주의해서 연습해야 합니다. 영어 발음 교정을 통해 명확하고 정확하게 발음하는 연습을 하는 것이 좋습니다. 또 한 가지는, 말하는 속도입니다. 강의 내용이 빠를 경우 따라가기 어려울 수 있기 때문에 속도를 조절하고, 천천히 연습하는 것이 중요합니다.

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.
