레슨 만드는 중...
1
Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about being free.
2
There's a funny little phrase in English and that's the phrase,
3
"school's out for the summer." It's actually lunchtime and this is my last day at work.
4
and then I have a few weeks off before school starts again in September.
5
For those of you that don't know, I am actually a high school teacher.
6
And I do have the very, very cool benefit of having the summer off.
7
So school's out for the summer.
8
Another phrase I might use to describe this situation is that I am free as a bird.
9
If you ever go outside and if you see a bird, the bird is free to go wherever they want.
10
And for a few weeks, I will now be free as a bird.
11
I can do whatever I want every day, Unless, of course, Jen has some chores for me to do on the farm or if there's other things.
12
I should be working on like making YouTube lessons for you guys.
13
There's an older phrase too, kind of a funny phrase, to be footloose and fancy free.
14
I haven't heard that one for a while, but if you can imagine in your head, someone being footloose and fancy free.
15
It brings about an image of someone who is extremely relaxed and just enjoying their life.
16
So I would say this though, I can certainly feel like there is a weight off my shoulders right now.
17
In English, when you say that there is a weight off your shoulders, it's as if you were carrying something and now you no longer are.
18
and you're just enjoying life.
19
And I certainly need Time to unwind.
20
When you're working during the school year or when you're working at your job, it can be stressful.
21
and you can feel very, very tense.
22
And so we have this English phrase
23
take time to unwind or have time to unwind where you're just spending time becoming less stressful
24
less stressed uh de -stressing a little bit and it's a time to recharge your batteries.
25
If you think about your phone, when the battery is almost dead, it's like the phone doesn't have a lot of energy.
26
So people as well can feel that.
27
And so sometimes they need time, to recharge their batteries, and that certainly what I need right now.
28
And I'm going to do two things.
29
I'm going to take it easy.
30
I'm going to kick back Oh, actually three things, and I'm going to put my feet up.
31
So when you take it easy, it means you relax.
32
When you kick back, you can imagine someone leaning back in a chair and just enjoying life.
33
And then when you put your feet up, It's like you're even more relaxed.
34
So I'm going to definitely take it easy, I'm definitely going to kick back and I'm definitely going to put my feet up.
35
Now you might have heard the English phrase R &R.
36
R &R is kind of a funny phrase that means rest, and relaxation.
37
So I'm going to have a little bit of R &R.
38
I'm going to enjoy life as best as I can for the next few weeks.
39
And it certainly feels good to be able to take a breather When you run for a long time and stop, you have to stop and breathe.
40
And when you work really hard for a long time, we sometimes use a similar phrase to take a breather to
41
refer to a time where you are going to relax and just enjoy life for a little bit.
42
So I'm definitely going to take a breather. And then...
43
I think I might sleep in.
44
I don't sleep in very often.
45
I've been setting my alarm.
46
for 6 :15 every morning, sometimes 6 :30.
47
for a very long time but now I can just sleep and get up whenever I want.
48
And at my age, that doesn't actually work.
49
I will probably still wake up at around 7 o 'clock and for me, that would be sleeping in.
50
So how do I feel right now?
51
I don't have a care in the world.
52
There's another English phrase for you.
53
I don't have to worry about anything else except just enjoying making English lessons for you here on YouTube, and helping Jen on the farm a little bit.
54
But other than that, I do not have care in the world.
55
And now you might be wondering if Jen and I are going to get away from it all.
56
When you get away from it all, it means you go on vacation, and you enjoy some time, doing something else?
57
And the answer is actually...
58
Yes and no. we will probably go to Toronto here and there to see a Blue Jays game, or to do some other fun and relaxing things.
59
And that will be how we get away from it all.
60
But we aren't planning on doing any kind of major vacation.
61
So we're not going to totally get away from it all.
62
for a week or two, but we are going to certainly Take some time off and enjoy it.
63
Anyways, thanks for watching this little walk and talk English lesson.
64
I hope you enjoyed it.
65
I'm excited to to make some pretty cool English lessons for you this summer.
66
I have some really neat ideas for places I can go and lessons I can make, so look for those on Tuesdays.
67

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.
