쉐도잉 연습: IELTS Speaking test sample - Part 3 (Monika, Band 8) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

We've been talking about hobbies and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this.

Let's consider first of all current and future hobbies.

What do you think are the most popular types of hobby in Germany?

For male Germans it's probably football.

And for females it might be shopping, I don't It could be shopping.

But many people are actually doing sports, so they will go jogging in their spare time.

Why do you think these hobbies are so popular?

Because I think you need balance in life.

The working life is quite hard, and nowadays in Germany with the economic situation, etc., everybody needs an anchor point or a balance to their struggle during their working hours.

So I guess just to have relaxation and to calm down and as a stress relief, I think sports is a good way to do so.

And I think that's why many Germans are doing it.

It's probably worldwide the case.

Let's pick up on that point of leisure time.

You mentioned that the work leisure balance in Germany is perhaps a little bit out of balance.

Can you tell me more about that?

Yeah, I mean the regular working hours would be eight to nine hours a day, but nowadays competition is quite big because of the unemployment.

So everybody's really putting a lot of overtime in their work and most of the time probably don't get paid for it.

And leisure time is increasingly of course getting less and less

and so people are definitely looking forward to the holidays or their weekends to enjoy family life.

But I think family life isn't that what it was before

because everybody is to focus on their careers and to keep their jobs

and have a good income and survive basically in the system.

Do you think this will continue in the future?

Well, probably the next 10 years till the economy again is picking up

and our social welfare system is getting better again because it was quite good years ago.

But the last 10 years I would say it really declined a bit.

I see.

Let's move back a moment on hobbies and think about the social benefits of hobbies.

What do you think of the social benefits of having a hobby?

Well, it's depending on what your hobby is.

If you would, for example, do a hobby where you don't meet anybody, if you're hiking or climbing alone, there's not a big social

factor in that I would say but

if you do it in a community like for example soccer

or rugby or whatever then you in a way share time with people

and have the opportunity to get to know each other better

and closer and exchange ideas and and opinions so I think for

that reason a hobby is very very important because usually you find

that people who are not at your work working environment it's they are not part of your family

so they come from different backgrounds and so I think you get a quite good insight into other people's opinions.

So you get to know them in a different way.

Yeah, in a different way because everybody's also relaxed.

In your working environment, for example, I mean everybody's quite formal and tries to do the proper thing,

obviously, but if you are doing sports together, it's more casual, everything, and I think you would open up yourself more to the other person.

So you think it influences the way we behave at work subsequently?

Well, it could be, but I don't think that it necessarily has to.

It could be if you would have a hobby.

I mean, it's just hypothetically now.

But it could be if you have a hobby

and have good experience with other people and are quite relaxed with other people

that it would have a good influence in your work, in the relationships you hold at your working place.

But that's quite hypothetically now from my point of view.

Do you think there are any dangers in spending too much time on hobbies?

If you would neglect your family, yes.

If the hobby is more important than your family life and your working life maybe, then yes, there could be a danger

that you lose track with what is going on in your relationship with your partner and children, etc. Thank you very much.

That's the end of the speaking test.

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.
