6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Georgie.
5
Neil, I'm going to play you two sound recordings
6
and I want you to tell me how you feel when you hear them.
7
OK.
8
First this...
9
and now this...
10
Oh well, that first clip made me feel really relaxed.
11
But the second one, oh it's horrible.
12
I felt quite stressed out actually.
13
Oh no!
14
Well, this little experiment shows how much we are affected by the noise around us.
15
And that's a problem if you're one of the four billion people around the world who live in cities.
16
Yes, whether it's the rattle of train tracks,
17
honking car horns or the roar of airplanes overhead,
18
modern cities are full of noise.
19
and this can have serious effects.
20
The World Health Organisation reports that by 2050,
21
around 2.5 billion people will experience hearing loss,
22
and exposure to loud noise has been linked to stress and anxiety.
23
In this episode, we'll be hearing about ways to make our cities quieter,
24
more relaxing places, using some useful new words and phrases.
25
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary along with a quiz and worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
26
But now I have a question for you, Georgie.
27
Sound is measured in units called decibels,
28
but how many decibels would it be if I whispered?
29
A whisper is speaking like this.
30
Is it a 3 decibels,
31
b 13 decibels, or c 30 decibels?
32
Oh, that's really hard.
33
I'll go for b 13 decibels.
34
Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the programme.
35
Let's start in one of the noisiest cities in the world,
36
Mumbai, in India, where daytime noise levels regularly hit 80 decibels,
37
which is over 20 decibels higher than World Health Organisation recommendations.
38
Listen to Mumbai native Chavi Sachdev share her experiences of living
39
in this noisy city with BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
40
I mean, India in general is just really loud.
41
We are a loud people.
42
We dress loud, we talk loud,
43
we celebrate loud, we watch movies loud.
44
When people ask me what I miss about living abroad,
45
I tell them it's the quiet because after 12 years of living in the US and Europe,
46
when I got back I realised I couldn't handle it anymore.
47
I'd gotten used to lower levels of noise.
48
Chavi says Indians talk loud,
49
celebrate loud and dress loud.
50
To dress loud means to wear clothes with bright colours and large bold patterns.
51
When Chavi returned to India after living overseas,
52
she says she couldn't handle the noise.
53
If you can't handle something,
54
you find it difficult to deal or cope with.
55
So what can be done to tackle noise in cities like Mumbai?
56
One interesting approach involves using sound itself to make things feel quieter.
57
Soundscaping is the idea of adding certain sounds to busy public spaces so that they sound and feel more relaxing.
58
Sound artist Charles Montambeau lives near the Parc de Madeleno,
59
a busy city park in Montreal, Canada.
60
Charles was inspired to recreate the ocean sounds he heard on holiday in the Magdalen Islands,
61
in his city park back home.
62
On BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World,
63
he tells reporter Natasha Fernandez that these sounds included ocean waves and some unusual sounding sand.
64
The sand on the Magdalen Island can sing.
65
When you walk into the sound firmly,
66
the sound makes some squeaky sounds.
67
So that's one sound that is kind of funny, kind of special.
68
Inside this small park, surrounded by busy roads,
69
Charles and his team set up an immersive sound installation in the form of speakers planted in flower beds.
70
So the installation was really to make this park a little quieter by adding some quiet noises.
71
So it's counter-intuitive, but you can make a park less noisy by adding some calmer sounds.
72
The sand on the Magdalene Islands is squeaky.
73
It makes a high-pitched sound called a squeak when stepped on.
74
Charles played recordings of this sand,
75
ocean waves and other relaxing sounds through speakers hidden in the park.
76
He created an art installation – a work of art designed to give people an interactive experience.
77
By adding more relaxing sounds,
78
Charles' installation actually made the park feel quieter.
79
It's an example of something that's counter-intuitive,
80
meaning it happens differently from how you would expect.
81
What a great idea!
82
And similar soundscapes are now helping city dwellers relax in other cities too,
83
including Tokyo and Barcelona.
84
Now Neil, you asked me a question about a very quiet sound – a whisper.
85
So, are you going to reveal the correct answer?
86
I asked you how loud a whisper is.
87
Yes, and I said 13 decibels.
88
Well, 13 is an unlucky number and you are wrong.
89
It was actually 30.
90
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
91
starting with decibel, the unit for measuring sound.
92
Someone who dresses loud likes to wear clothes with bright colours and bold designs.
93
If you can't handle something,
94
you find it difficult to deal with.
95
An art installation is an artwork designed to create an interactive experience in a certain space.
96
The adjective squeaky describes things which make a high-pitched sound, like a mouse.
97
Squeak, squeak!
98
And finally, if you call something counter-intuitive,
99
you mean it happens differently from how you would expect.

맥락 및 배경
이번 에피소드는 현대 도시에서 소음이 미치는 영향에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 발표자 닐과 조지는 도시의 소음이 개인의 감정과 정신 건강에 어떻게 영향을 줄 수 있는지 실험을 통해 이야기합니다. 특히 인도 뭄바이와 같은 극도로 시끄러운 도시에서 생활하는 사람들의 경험을 공유하며, 소음이 일상생활에 미치는 문제를 강조합니다. 세계보건기구는 소음이 심리적 스트레스와 불안에 연결되어 있다고 경고하고 있으며, 2050년까지 약 25억 명이 청력 손실을 경험할 것이라고 보고했습니다.
일상 소통을 위한 5가지 핵심 표현
- 정말 편안하다: 어떤 소리가 들렸을 때 느끼는 감정.
- 스트레스를 받다: 소음으로 인한 부정적인 감정.
- 소음 수준: 도시에서의 소음 정도를 나타내는 표현.
- 소음을 줄이다: 소음을 최소화하기 위한 행동.
- 조용해지다: 소음이 줄어든 상태를 설명하는 표현.
단계별 쉐도우링 가이드
이 비디오에서 언급된 표현들을 효과적으로 습득하기 위해 다음의 shadowspeak 기법을 활용해 보세요:
- 비디오를 처음 시청한 후, 발표자들의 발음을 주의 깊게 들어보세요.
- 각 문장을 반복해 보세요. 문장을 입으로 소리 내어 따라하면서 shadow speech의 효과를 누릴 수 있습니다.
- 특히 강조된 단어나 감정 표현을 중점적으로 연습하여 영어 발음 교정에 도움이 되도록 합니다.
- 다시 비디오를 보며 자신이 발음한 것을 비교하고 어떤 부분에서 개선이 필요한지 확인하세요.
- 정기적으로 반복하고 연습하여 shadowspeaks의 스킬을 더 강화하세요.
이러한 단계를 통해, 영어 듣기와 발음을 동시에 개선하여 더 나은 의사소통의 기초를 다질 수 있습니다.
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.
