Please welcome Matthew Dix to the stage.
2
Thank you.
3
I'm standing on the playground behind my school.
4
It's recess duty.
5
When my son was very little, he asked me, is recess duty like duty?
6
Like poop?
7
And I said, yeah, actually, it is just like that.
8
And I sent him away.
9
I am sure that conversation created enormous problems for him at some point in his life, but it was an accurate description of recess duty.
10
I waste my precious time putting band-aids on cuts that are not cuts, pretending to listen to stories about cousins' birthday parties,
11
and telling mean children that they have no one to play with because they are mean.
12
And so I'm standing there doing all of these things when I hear these four words that strike fear into my heart.
13
Never have I ever.
14
And I look over and I see three of my students, 10-year-old girls, on the sidewalk, and apparently they are playing this game.
15
So now I am running, because I have played Never Have I Ever.
16
I understand the dynamics of this game.
17
This is not a benevolent game where we acquire knowledge about our friends.
18
This is social combat.
19
This is...
20
We extract information from foolish children, and then we sharpen it, and we stab them with it later on.
21
So I'm running over.
22
Like 1985, Jimbo Powers' birthday party.
23
Melissa says, Matt, never have you ever kissed someone?
24
And immediately I have to figure out, do I tell the truth?
25
Basically what I'm wondering is, is everyone else in this room kissed somebody?
26
Because if so, now I have to lie and say yes, and I have to prepare myself for the questions that will come, which will undoubtedly be, who did you kiss?
27
And since no one has ever kissed me in my school, and probably never will, I have to make up a story about the time my parents took me to the far-flung land of or Pawtucket,
28
Rhode Island, or Woburn, and I was in a candy store, and I had a tryst by a licorice stand with a girl.
29
A story that did not work.
30
A kid once asked me, never have you ever gone to third base?
31
And I knew it wasn't about baseball, but that is all I knew about that question.
32
So I am running to these girls, and as I get close, I hear one of them say, never have I ever gone to bed without brushing my teeth.
33
And I sort of grind to a halt, because this is not 1985 sex and drugs, never have I ever.
34
This is like Paw Patrol Never Have I Ever.
35
It's fine.
36
There's nothing wrong here.
37
And as I turn to walk away, the girls say, Mr. Dix, you want to play Never Have I Ever?
38
And they explain to me that their game's a competition.
39
They stand on the sidewalk, and if you've never, ever done something, you take a step forward, and whoever gets to the bench first wins.
40
And now I'm all in, because I love competition.
41
I love to crush small children in games
42
that are utterly meaningless They're utterly meaningless so I can feel better about myself as a human being.
43
So I'm standing there on the line with the girls and the first girl says, never have I ever climbed a mountain.
44
And all three of them step forward.
45
I'm like, are you kidding me?
46
You're 10 and you've never gone up a mountain?
47
Like no lie, when I'm 12 I get lost in the white mountains of New Hampshire for two days and nobody cares including me.
48
They've never climbed a mountain before?
49
And the next girl says, never have I ever gone to bed without a nightlight on.
50
And I think, oh my god, lady, don't say that, because we're all going to make fun of you for it.
51
And then I realize, oh my god, I'm the only one who's going to make fun of her for this.
52
Like this group of children that I'm taking care of, they're so different than I was.
53
Like they've taken all their daggers and put them away.
54
They're sweet.
55
They're accepting.
56
It's not all good.
57
No, no, it's not all good.
58
Like they, this generation of children can't get ten feet from a water
59
bottle without being They're the most hydrated group of kids I've ever met in my entire life.
60
It is a nightmare.
61
They can't go through my math lessons without a squishy thing or a stuffed animal.
62
I had a girl last week in my math lesson with a blanket wrapped around her.
63
I said, what's up with the blanket?
64
She said, it makes me happy during math.
65
I said, math isn't happy.
66
It's awful.
67
It's hard.
68
It's onerous.
69
I would have loved to have a water bottle and a blanket
70
and a stuffed animal during math when I was a kid.
71
All I had was angst and despair.
72
It made me who I am.
73
I can't stand these kids.
74
And I'm losing the game because I have done everything and they've done nothing.
75
So they're nine steps ahead of me.
76
And then the tallest girl says, never have I ever met my father's expectations.
77
And I think that is nonsense because I know your fathers.
78
They're all fine men.
79
What are you talking about?
80
And one of the girls says, well, I'm a swimmer and when I get a PR in the pool and I come out, my dad's happy for me.
81
But then he says, but just imagine how much better you could have been
82
if you had nailed the kick turn on the third lap.
83
And the next girl says, well, I mastered my multiplication facts last month, and when I came home to my dad, he said, that's great, but why didn't you do it in October when you were supposed to?
84
And the third one says, my dad always tells me how I can be better, and I know he does it because he loves me, but it never feels like love.
85
And now I'm panicking, I'm thinking, what about my children, Charlie and Clara?
86
Have I ever told them that they've met my expectations?
87
They never have.
88
I mean, they don't even come close.
89
But how have I at least fooled them into believing that they occasionally meet my expectations?
90
And so as I'm panicking about this situation, the tall girl says, Mr. Dix, have you ever met your father's expectations?
91
And I catch for a minute.
92
I don't know what to say.
93
But then I know exactly what to say, because I've been working with kids for 25 years as a teacher, and I know they're more capable than we all know.
94
And so I tell her, I say, my father left when I was seven and he never came back.
95
And so I don't think he ever had expectations for me.
96
And three hands reach out and they grab my wrist and they pull me forward.
97
And that girl says, that counts, Mr. Dix.
98
And then she tells me, I'm sorry your father abandoned you when you were a kid.
99
And it is crazy, but from the age of 7 to 52,
100
I have basically been waiting for my father to come back.
101
And it is not until I'm on a sidewalk with a 10-year-old girl
102
that I understand for the first time that he is not coming back.
103
It is the first time I have ever in my life heard the word abandoned used to describe what happened to me.
104
And it is the first time ever that a human being has ever said to me, I'm sorry that happened to you.
105
My friends have said, that sucked, it was terrible.
106
I know that my wife hates what happened to me as a boy.
107
But that 10-year-old girl, she was the first person to tell me, I am sorry for what happened to you when you were seven.
108
When people ask me today why I am still a public school teacher after 25 years, with all of the unspeakable,
109
ridiculous, nonsensical, impossible things that school teachers go through today,
110
and with, quite honestly, all the other opportunities I have to leave a classroom and go do other things with my life,
111
my answer is always immediate and simple.
112
I love kids, but far more important than that,
113
kids understand me, and they speak truth to me, and they love me.
114
Thank you.
115
Thank you.
116
Thank you.
117
Matthew Dix.
이 비디오로 말하기 연습하는 이유는 무엇인가요?
이 비디오는 마태 딕스의 매력적인 스토리텔링을 통해 자연스럽게 영어 말하기를 연습할 수 있는 훌륭한 기회를 제공합니다. 마태 딕스는 일상적인 상황을 통해 대화의 맥락을 전달하며, 여러분은 그를 따라 하면서 영어 발음과 억양을 연습할 수 있습니다. 그가 이야기를 풀어가는 방식은 감정과 긴장을 담고 있어, 영어를 배우는 여러분이 비슷한 상황에서 어떻게 반응하고 표현해야 하는지를 배울 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부의 효과를 극대화하기 위해, 이 영상을 통해 영어 쉐도잉을 시도해 보세요. 자신의 목소리와 억양을 덮어쓰는 연습은 자연스러운 대화를 이끄는 데 도움이 됩니다.
문맥 속 문법 및 표현
- “Never have I ever...”: 이 표현은 경험을 묻는 질문으로, 친구들 간의 소셜 게임에서 자주 사용됩니다. 다양한 질문을 통해 상대방의 과거 경험을 알아내는 방식으로, 친밀감을 높이는 데 유용합니다.
- “I have to...”: 이 구문은 의무감을 표현하는 데 사용됩니다. 스토리에서 마태는 이 표현을 사용하여 자신이 어떤 결정을 내려야 하는 상황을 묘사합니다.
- “Like no lie...”: 이 표현은 자신의 말을 강조하고 신뢰성을 더하는 데 사용됩니다. 대화 중 자연스럽게 자신이 느낀 사실을 전달하는 데 유용합니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 주목해야 할 몇 가지 발음과 억양이 있습니다. 특히 “never”와 “ever” 발음에서 의도한 의미를 전달하기 위해서는 명확히 발음하는 것이 중요합니다. 또한, 마태가 특정 단어를 강조할 때 강조하는 억양을 따라 하면서 연습하면 실제 대화에서 활용할 수 있는 자연스러운 발음이 형성됩니다. 쉐도우 스피치 기법을 통해 비디오의 내용을 실시간으로 따라 읽는 것이 큰 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 따라서 이러한 발음 함정을 피하는 것이 말하기 실력을 향상하는 데 핵심적입니다.
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.
