쉐도잉 연습: 🔥Land Diving in Vanuatu - Đề thi IELTS LISTENING (actual test) kèm đáp án - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Today, you will hear part of a lecture about land diving in Vanuatu.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 10.

Thank you.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 10.

but it is still quite unbelievable to see it in person.

For those who are not aware of it, I would like to give you a basic introduction.

The practice involves the native people tying vines around their ankles and jumping off platforms in a way similar to bungee jumping.

In fact, it is said to have been the original inspiration for bungee jumping.

You might first wonder who the participants are in this ceremony.

Well, only men can take part, whereas women are not allowed to participate,

despite the fact that the legend from which the ceremony originates names a woman as the original diver.

Boys can begin to participate around the ages of seven or eight as a rite of passage or initiation.

However, other children are not included.

The ceremonies are held each year during the dry season between April and June.

This is for two reasons.

Firstly, lianus, the vines which are used in the ceremony, are at their most elastic during this period.

Secondly, the ceremony is said to celebrate and bring blessings on the annual yam harvest, and it is a great attraction for the villagers,

with everyone attending to sing, dance, and encourage the bravery of the divers.

The ceremony is also said to bring personal benefits to the divers, such as increasing the masculinity and strength of the man.

Taking part is considered a kind of cleansing for the man.

Now I would like to provide you with some details about land diving.

Well, the preparation of the towers is a major event for the village, and many men in the village prepare them for the ceremony in preceding weeks.

The tower and platforms are built.

Additionally, the soil is worked over to ensure it is moistened and raked to make it softer.

If the soil is too dry, the diver will be injured when he touches the ground.

You might wonder how the jumpers protect themselves from injury.

During a dive, the diver tucks his head in.

The optimal outcome is that the shoulders of the diver brush the ground.

but this depends on the selection of the individual vine, which is chosen to suit each diver's height and weight, but without any scientific measurements.

While it is impossible to eliminate every danger, such as the danger of hitting the ground or the tower itself,

it is considered important if the length of the vine is incorrect.

Obstacles such as rocks will need to be removed.

Usually around 15 to 25 men from each village will participate in the annual diving ceremony.

Since their age and experience vary, they will dive from towers of various elevations.

The lowest may be around 10 meters, while the highest may be over 30 meters.

The boards, set at the various heights, are designed to break as the diver reaches the end of his dive, absorbing some of the impact.

The Vanuatu Tourism Council encourages widespread reports about the ceremonies in the international media to boost tourism,

which in turn supports the local economy and charity programs.

Many of the local villages allow tourists to visit during their ceremonies as it allows them to earn money.

However, this practice is controversial as some feel that it may have negative effects on the integrity and authenticity of the ceremony.

For the same reason, commercial filming of important ceremonies has been underbanned for more than 10 years.

Only films for educational purposes are allowed.

Now, let's begin to...

That is the end of today's practice.

Thank you you

Thank you.

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.
