Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.

My name is Anna and you're listening to week 39,

day four of your English Five a Day, the second season.

I'm here every day of the working week from Monday to Friday to help you over time grow your passive

and hopefully active vocabulary to improve your listening skills and,

of course, start to feel more like yourself when communicating in English.

So let's begin today's episode as we always do,

with a snapshot of what's to come.

Under the cold strip lighting of the police station,

the forensic expert reviewed the evidence one last time.

Jake was finally in the clear but still haunted by the night he saw the crime and stayed silent.

He knew he had to do the right thing,

even if it meant testifying against an old friend.

OK, let's dive into the vocabulary now,

starting with the noun forensic expert.

A forensic expert.

Two words, forensic, we spell F-O-R-E-N-S-I-C, forensic expert, E-X-P-E-R-T.

A forensic expert is a professional who uses science to study crime evidence,

such as fingerprints or blood.

When I was younger, I considered becoming a forensic expert,

somebody who would solve crimes.

I think I'm quite a perceptive person and I thought perhaps that would be a good career to go into.

But then I'm also quite sensitive and I'd probably be haunted by the awful things

that I would see if I were a forensic expert.

and I would love to know if I have any forensic experts listening.

So here's an example sentence for you.

Police called in a forensic expert to analyse the crime scene.

Next we have the noun strip lighting.

Strip lighting.

Two words.

Strip, S-T-R-I-P.

Strip lighting.

L-I-G-H-T-I-N-G Lighting Strip lighting Strip lighting is long, thin, electric lights.

They're often used in offices, schools or hospitals.

Strip lighting It's usually not very ambient or nice lighting.

It's very bright.

Here's an example sentence.

Strip lighting is common in supermarkets because it's cheap and bright.

Next we have the idiom in the clear.

In the clear.

To be in the clear.

In I-N the, T-H-E, clear, C-L-E-A-R.

To be in the clear means you are no longer suspected of doing something wrong.

You're safe from blame or danger.

You are in the clear.

Now, this could be used if you were originally a suspect in a crime and then someone backs up your alibi

or you believe that you may have some horrible illness or disease

and then you get the results of some tests that show you that you are now in the clear.

Woohoo!

So here's an example sentence.

The jury delivered a verdict of not guilty.

She was finally in the clear.

Next we have the verb phrase haunted by.

Haunted by.

Haunted, we spell H-A-U-N-T-E-D.

Haunted by, B-Y.

To be haunted by something is to be troubled or followed by a bad memory,

a bad thought or feeling.

I remember seeing a child once get his leg caught in the spokes of a bicycle wheel

and the child was deeply distressed.

And it was distressing watching everyone try to free this boy's leg from the spokes of the bicycle wheel.

It wasn't a very long time before he was eventually freed,

but I was haunted by the image of that boy's face

and haunted by his cries for quite a long time after that.

I mean, I'm mentioning it now,

and it happened when I was a young girl,

so evidently it stuck with me.

What have you been haunted by in the past?

Here's an example sentence.

She was haunted by the memory of the accident.

Last but not least, we have the phrase do the right thing.

Do the right thing.

Four words.

Do, D-O, the, right, R-I-G-H-T, thing, T-H-I-N-G.

Do the right thing means act with honesty or integrity,

even when it's awkward.

We should all do the right thing,

if possible, if we can.

And here's an example sentence.

He decided to do the right thing and admit his mistake.

OK, that's our five.

So let's do a quick recap.

We started with the noun forensic expert.

A forensic expert is a professional who uses science to study evidence in order to solve a crime.

So the evidence might be fingerprints or blood.

All right, that's a forensic expert.

Next, we have the noun strip lighting,

which is that long, thin,

electric light often used in offices, schools or hospitals.

Strip lighting.

Then we had the idiom in the clear.

To be in the clear means to no longer be suspected of doing something wrong or to be safe from danger.

You're in the clear.

Then we had the verb phrase haunted by,

which means you're troubled or followed by a bad memory, thought or feeling.

You're haunted by it.

And we had the phrase,

do the right thing, which is to act with honesty or integrity.

Even when it's awkward, you do the right thing.

100

Wonderful.

101

Now I want you to repeat after me.

102

Forensic expert.

103

Forensic expert.

104

Strip lighting.

105

Strip lighting In the clear In the clear Haunted by

106

Haunted by Do the right thing Do the right thing Fabulous

107

Let's listen to our snapshot once again

108

Under the cold strip lighting of the police station The forensic expert reviewed the evidence one last time

109

Jake was finally in the clear

110

But still haunted by the night he saw the crime

111

And stayed silent He knew he had to do the right thing even if it meant testifying against an old friend.

112

Very good.

113

Okay, it's time to head into my favourite part of the episode.

114

Yes, you know me.

115

I love telling the stories.

116

And so now I want you to listen out for our target vocabulary as we head into story time.

117

The strip lighting in the mortuary flickered.

118

bathing the room in a pale, uneven glow.

119

Dr. Eleanor Marsh stood over the table,

120

her gloved hands steady, her heart anything but.

121

She had worked as a forensic expert for nearly 15 years.

122

She had seen what violence did to the body,

123

and she had trained herself to remain calm in the face of blood, bone and silence.

124

Yet even now, with the scalpel poised,

125

she felt the old memory pressing at the edges of her mind.

126

It had been six years ago.

127

In a small Midlands town,

128

a young man had stood accused of murder,

129

the evidence fragile but persuasive.

130

Eleanor had found a trace of blood on his jacket.

131

Her report had convinced the jury.

132

The man was sentenced.

133

Weeks later, another killer was caught.

134

One who confessed freely.

135

describing details only the murderer could have known.

136

The young man she had helped to convict was now in the clear,

137

but he had lost everything.

138

His mother died during his time in prison,

139

and when released, he vanished without a trace.

140

Eleanor told herself she had only done her job,

141

that anyone could have made the same mistake.

142

Still, she was haunted by the case and its consequences.

143

She woke in the night hearing the words of his lawyer,

144

You have destroyed a life.

145

She wondered

146

if deep down she had been too eager to do the

147

right thing in the eyes of the court rather than in the eyes of truth.

148

Now, as she leaned over her current case,

149

a woman found in an abandoned warehouse, The past rose again.

150

The body was clothed in torn denim.

151

The fingernails cracked, skin bruised in familiar patterns.

152

Eleanor swallowed hard.

153

She knew the police were watching her closely, waiting for her analysis.

154

One detective, a sharp-eyed woman named Sergeant Cole,

155

asked in a low voice,

156

Do you think she fought back?

157

Eleanor examined the marks, her eyes narrowing.

158

Yes, she replied slowly.

159

She fought hard.

160

But even as she spoke,

161

she felt doubt creeping in.

162

What if she misread the signs again?

163

What if her judgment cost another innocent person their freedom?

164

The strip lighting buzzed overhead.

165

Eleanor forced herself to breathe evenly.

166

This time she would be cautious.

167

This time she would not let pressure or pride guide her hand.

168

She had spent six years waiting for a chance to prove that she could trust herself again.

169

She straightened, looking Sergeant Cole in the eye.

170

I need more tests before I say anything certain, she said firmly.

171

I won't repeat the mistakes of the past.

172

And though the room was cold,

173

Eleanor felt a spark of heat in her chest.

174

Perhaps at last she was ready to face the truth she had run from for so long.

175

And that brings us to the end of today's episode.

176

I do hope you enjoyed it and I hope you found it useful.

177

Until tomorrow, take very good care of yourself and goodbye.

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.
