Part 3.
2
You will hear two students named Amy and Mike discussing Maori carvings.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
Hi Mike.
6
Aren't these New Zealand carvings we've been studying in class fascinating?
7
Oh, hi Amy.
8
Oh, the Maori greenstone tikis.
9
They're all a bit organic for my taste.
10
You know, all curves and twisting shapes.
11
I like modern stuff, geometric shapes, but I can see the skill involved in making them.
12
But the stories behind the tikis are what make them interesting.
13
Besides, I imagine it would be difficult to create geometric patterns.
14
The shape of each tiki seems to follow the natural contours of the stone.
15
It's extremely hard, and it requires expertise and time to shape.
16
That's true.
17
I suppose that's why modern greenstone carvings are so expensive, but there aren't that many genuine old ones around.
18
Archaeologists rarely discover such treasures, which is odd given they are such a huge part of Maori culture.
19
I wonder if archaeological dig sites were raided and the tikis were taken to sell?
20
I believe it's because the owners valued them and so preserved them.
21
Many of them would have been passed down through the generations and remain in the possession of the families today, like heirlooms.
22
Do you know what they they were used for?
23
I thought they were just an art form or a means of decoration.
24
But Professor Matiu says that the Maori believed tikis were sacred and could be used as a pathway to their ancestors.
25
They believed the dead could speak to them through these talismans.
26
So they don't represent tribes or anything?
27
Interesting.
28
How many different kinds are there?
29
There must be hundreds of variations.
30
There are other greenstone carvings beside tikis, although I can't remember all their names.
31
Traditional tikis themselves can be divided into two distinct groups, though. Can they?
32
By the materials?
33
I've seen some with metal features.
34
Or is it to do with size, or where they were made?
35
Actually, it is the ways that their feet, heads and hands are placed that make the major difference.
36
Is it easy to discern the difference between the ancient stones and more modern reproductions?
37
Are the styles very different?
38
Modern reproductions usually use a different type of stone, although they may be of the same design.
39
They may also be of a smaller size.
40
But it's actually quite easy to tell if you are buying a genuine carving or a mass-produced souvenir.
41
How?
42
Nowadays, they are produced by machine, using lasers even, so they have no blemishes.
43
In genuine carvings, they aren't always perfect, because the Maori used simple hand tools.
44
For example, the hole that the cord is fed through isn't perfectly round.
45
That makes sense.
46
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
47
Now listen carefully and answer questions 26 to 30.
48
Actually, it's amazing that they produce such detailed tikis with such simple tools and materials.
49
Talk me through the process.
50
I know the basic shape is carved from New Zealand greenstone.
51
Yes, but first they had to get a blank of the right size.
52
You mean a piece of stone of the right size and basic shape?
53
That's right.
54
They used a hard stone tool, something rough, to wear a groove into a piece of greenstone.
55
After they'd scored it with that, they could just snap it in two.
56
I guess they could have used some kind of hammer, though.
57
They repeated the process until they had a piece of stone
58
suitable for what they wanted to carve – usually flat pieces for tikis.
59
Right, because they're fairly small and quite thin.
60
Then they started carving?
61
Not right away.
62
Before they could start carving, they needed an absolutely smooth, flat surface.
63
Nowadays, when we want to do something like that, we'd clamp the stone in a vice and use a sander.
64
But they used a heavy block of sandstone
65
and rubbed the piece of greenstone on it over and over to prepare it for carving.
66
It must have been very time-consuming.
67
So how did they cut out the little details, like hands and feet?
68
They had carving tools.
69
They used small chips of stone glued and tied onto a wooden handle.
70
Then they also used a piece of sharpened bone made into a point.
71
Is that what they used to make the holes?
72
Actually, they had a special tool to make holes.
73
It was a stick tied between two heavy pebbles with a point at the end.
74
They would wrap string around it, pull it back and forth to wear a hole into the tiki.
75
They used the same technique to make round shapes too, but didn't make the hole go all the way through.
76
And I've seen some tikis with coloured eyes or decorations.
77
Are they painted?
78
Mostly they are inlaid with different coloured stone or mother of pearl from shells, or sometimes dyed pieces of bone.
79
They were fixed in place using teratogum, a sticky plant resin.
80
They used plants to make the natural strings too.
81
That's right.
82
The Maori were very resourceful, weren't they?
83
They certainly were.
84
Thank you.

맥락 및 배경

이번 대화는 앤디와 마이크라는 두 학생이 마오리 조각에 대해 논의하는 내용을 담고 있습니다. 그들은 수업에서 배운 내용을 바탕으로, 마오리의 그린스톤 티키 조각에 대한 디자인, 제작 과정, 그리고 문화적 의미를 탐구합니다. 마이크는 현대적인 기하학적 형태를 선호하지만, 앤디는 마오리 조각이 가진 이야기와 역사적 가치에 주목합니다. 이 대화는 영어 학습자들이 문화적 주제를 영어로 소통하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다.

단계별 섀도우잉 가이드

이번 비디오에서의 대화는 고유의 문화적 요소와 복잡한 발음이 포함되어 있어 초보자에게는 까다로울 수 있습니다. 그러나 shadowspeak 기법을 사용하면 이러한 문제를 쉽게 극복할 수 있습니다. 다음은 비디오를 활용한 효과적인 연습 방법입니다:

  1. 먼저, 비디오를 한번 시청하여 대화의 흐름을 이해합니다. 내용과 주제를 파악한 상태에서 영어 발음 교정이나 영어 회화 연습을 위한 준비를 합니다.
  2. 그 다음, 대화 내용을 한 문장씩 따라 하며 반복합니다. 이때, 자신이 하는 발음과 비디오의 발음을 비교하며 고치고 수정하는 것이 중요합니다.
  3. 특히, 마오리 조각과 같은 특정 단어와 표현에 집중하세요. 문화적 이해를 깊이 하면서도 IELTS 스피킹 준비를 할 수 있는 좋은 기회입니다.
  4. 마지막으로, 대화 끝부분까지 연습한 후, 자연스러운 리듬과 억양을 유지하며 다시 한 번 전체 대화를 따라 해보십시오. 이 방법은 shadow speak 기술을 통해 발음을 더욱 매끄럽게 만들어 줄 것입니다.

이런 연습을 통해 영어 발음과 대화 능력을 한 단계 발전시킬 수 있습니다. 조각의 이야기 속에서 문화적 깊이를 더하며 실제 대화에 활용해 보세요!

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.
