B1, B2 English Story.
7
Going home.
8
James had been living abroad for four years.
9
He was lucky enough to get a scholarship to study at a university in New Zealand.
10
He loved his time living in Auckland.
11
He had made some lifelong friends and had visited some stunning places,
12
including Australia, Fiji and all the beautiful islands of New Zealand.
13
While he was a student, he also worked.
14
During the summer months, he worked on farms and in the winter,
15
he worked behind bars and occasionally in offices.
16
At the end of his studies, James contemplated applying for a visa to stay in New Zealand.
17
He weighed up the pros and cons and finally decided that he would fly back to the UK.
18
James had always been very close to his grandparents.
19
When he was young, his dad had worked away a lot and his mum was very ill.
20
so his grandparents spent a lot of time with him.
21
They often took him on holiday and almost every day after school he would go to their house.
22
James missed his family very much when he was in New Zealand.
23
His mum wasn't able to visit him due to her health conditions and even if she could,
24
the flights were too expensive.
25
James had only been home once in the four years he had been away.
26
He had almost forgotten what England was like.
27
His accent had started to change, so he sounded more like a New Zealander every day.
28
James knew in his heart it was the right thing to go back home.
29
His grandparents were getting older and he wanted to be able to spend as much time with them as he could.
30
He knew that if he wanted to, he could always go back to New Zealand.
31
It wasn't going anywhere.
32
He would miss the laid-back vibe of New Zealand,
33
the stunning beaches and amazing surf but he had become increasingly homesick and it was making him introverted.
34
The best thing about working in New Zealand was
35
that James had managed to save a decent amount of money so he wouldn't be going back home poor.
36
He planned to spend three months relaxing and catching up with his family
37
and friends before he started to hunt for a job.
38
James searched online for the cheapest flight he could find.
39
He decided he would stop off for two nights in Singapore to break up the long, intense journey.
40
He started to pack up his things and he met up with friends to say goodbye.
41
He also visited his favourite surf spots and beaches before it was time to depart.
42
The day came for James to make the long journey back home.
43
Luckily, all went to plan.
44
The flight wasn't delayed and he had a spare seat next to him so he could stretch out his long legs.
45
He enjoyed his two days in Singapore.
46
He visited raffles and went for long hot walks around the marina.
47
On his flight back to the UK, he started to worry that he was going to miss New Zealand a lot,
48
but the thought of seeing his family again pushed all his concerns to one side.
49
Once he arrived at the airport, he made his way to the tube station,
50
got a train into central London and then he caught a train home.
51
James hadn't told his family that he was coming home.
52
His mum had an inkling but he wanted it to be a surprise.
53
James arrived at his parents' house, knowing that his grandparents would be over for dinner.
54
He rang the doorbell and was greeted by screams and laughter.
55
Everyone was jumping around and hugging.
56
James was lucky.
57
His mum had cooked his favourite dinner of chicken with vegetables, potatoes and gravy.
58
He hadn't eaten it for so long.
59
James spent hours showing his family his photographs and videos and telling them all about his adventures.
60
It was so good to see them again.
61
He knew he had made the right decision.
62
After dinner, James and his dad emptied his old bedroom ready for him to move into for a while.
63
It felt strange being back in his old room, but he felt comforted.
64
He planned out the next week and it was looking busy.
65
He wanted to go shopping and catch up with his extended family and friends.
66
James climbed into bed exhausted but contented knowing he was on the first day of the next chapter of his life.

연습 팁

이 영상에서 제시되는 내용은 중급 수준의 영어 구사 능력을 요구합니다. 따라서 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 통해 발음, 억양 및 리듬을 익히는 것이 중요합니다. 영상 속 이야기의 속도와 톤에 맞추어 shadowing을 시도해보세요. 제임스의 감정과 경험에 집중하여, 각 문장을 반복하여 따라 말해보면 좋습니다.

특히, 제임스의 고향에 대한 그리움과 뉴질랜드 생활의 즐거움을 표현하는 부분에서, 적절한 감정을 담아 연습하는 것이 중요합니다. shadow speech를 활용하여, 자주 사용되는 어휘와 구문을 실제 이야기 속에서 자연스럽게 익히도록 하세요. 이런 방법으로 shadowspeaks 기법을 실천하면, 회화 능력을 보다 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

기억하세요, 이는 단순한 반복이 아닌, 이야기의 감정과 맥락을 이해하며 연습하는 것이 중요하다는 점입니다. 마지막으로, 친구들과 함께 연습하거나 혼자서 진행하는 것도 좋습니다. 영어 스피킹 능력을 키우는 데 있어 지속적인 연습이 가장 큰 도움이 됩니다.

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.
