쉐도잉 연습: Millions are choosing isolation over everything, and it’s a sign that… - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
We live in a time right now where things are changing drastically.
2
It seems like every single day It's something new.
3
And along with our changing environment, There's also a major shift in our population.
4
People are changing the way we do things are changing and
5
I know I'm not the only one to notice this because I've heard a lot of y 'all
6
and other people talk about this and as a matter of fact let me know in the comments below
7
if you've seen this, just a shift in people.
8
But, you know, among the shifts that have occurred, there's one that I've noticed recently, that I never thought I would see.
9
And that is the fact that people are actually choosing Isolation.
10
They're choosing to remove themselves from society and the modern world and they're isolating themselves.
11
And this is kind of a weird one because up until just recently, being isolated was often thought to be a bad thing.
12
If nobody wants to hang out with you, then there must be something wrong with you. But
13
I think this is being flipped on its head because people are realizing that
14
the reason people are isolating themselves is actually very justified
15
and a lot of that has to do with the fact
16
that we live in a very noisy world today everything's fighting for our attention We're constantly distracted.
17
We have constant notifications.
18
We're surrounded by people that don't care about us.
19
we now exist in these large population centers, surrounded by thousands or millions of people and we can't relate to any of them.
20
As a matter of fact, a lot of us can't relate to the modern world in general.
21
We feel like that we've been plucked from our old timeline and dropped into this new one.
22
Nothing makes sense.
23
Some of us feel like old souls, like maybe we exist in the wrong era.
24
And when you live in an environment that is that noisy, And that is that distracting.
25
And just that draining...
26
it makes sense that you would want to escape from that.
27
And I think that's really what people are doing.
28
They're just escaping.
29
But the more I think about this...
30
And the more I think about my own personal experience as someone who has been isolated most of my life, I think the reason here actually goes much deeper than this.
31
And I think the real reason that this is happening is actually a massive silver lining.
32
And to describe this, I'm going to use an analogy.
33
Some of y 'all are probably familiar with this.
34
Some of you maybe not. But...
35
We're gonna tie this into dogs.
36
Because dogs are nature.
37
and we can learn a lot from nature.
38
And there's something that dogs do, both wild and domesticated, that really ties into this.
39
And I've witnessed this personally.
40
So let me just take you back to my childhood.
41
I used to have a dog...
42
that was named Bear.
43
She was part chow, part German Shepherd.
44
Beautiful dog.
45
She lived to be very, very old.
46
And one day, Bear followed us to the end of our driveway, which was very long, because I grew up on a farm.
47
And she ran out into the road, and she got hit.
48
right in front of us it was me my dad and my brother in the truck it was very traumatizing
49
very sad but she got hit pretty bad And my dad went out there in the road, picked her up, put her in the back of the truck, We took her back to the house.
50
and my dad was going to put her down.
51
While he was getting the stuff ready to put her down, We came back outside.
52
and Bear disappeared.
53
We went out every single day for three days straight and we called for bear.
54
We searched the entire farm.
55
We searched the surrounding areas.
56
Couldn't find her she just vanished.
57
And then one day I walked out on our back porch and to my disbelief Bear was standing there.
58
I went outside to check on her.
59
And she had miraculously...
60
Completely healed herself.
61
Yes, she had some scars.
62
She was missing some fur.
63
She had some scrapes and some cuts and stuff like that and
64
She had all kinds of birds and stuff stuck in her fur from where she'd been
65
doing who knows what But she was there.
66
And she appeared to be totally fine.
67
And she was because fast forward at least a decade later, she lived to be very, very old.
68
I want to say 16 or 18 years old in human years, which is very old for a dog.
69
But later on in life, when she was very old.
70
She disappeared again.
71
For no rhyme or reason.
72
She just walked off into the woods...
73
and she never came back.
74
And we called for her the same way we did before.
75
We went looking for her for weeks on end and never found her.
76
So naturally this left me looking for answers
77
and through my research I found that this is actually a very common thing that both wild and domesticated dogs do.
78
When they reach the end of their lives, they will often isolate themselves and disappear and go off to die.
79
And the reason they do this is because when they're in that state, They are very...
80
vulnerable.
81
And being in a vulnerable position puts not only the dog itself at risk, but it puts the rest of the pack at risk.
82
To opposing forces, and to predators.
83
So the dog will actually retreat from the pack and it will go off on its own.
84
so that it can die.
85
This is nature.
86
This is a natural defense mechanism that is hardwired into these dogs from birth.
87
Anytime that they feel a sense of impending doom, and they feel threatened and vulnerable, They isolate themselves.
88
and they disappear.
89
In some cases it's so that they can heal.
90
In other cases it's so that they can die.
91
And when I think about how this might relate to us, I think that is exactly what's happening.
92
I think a lot of us feel so threatened and so vulnerable by the current situation that we're in,
93
that there is a natural innate sense This thing that is hardwired into us that is being triggered.
94
And it's causing us to retreat, and isolate ourselves.
95
In some cases, it's so that we can heal, and in other cases, it's so that we can die.
96
But when we die in this situation, it's not the same as what these dogs are going through.
97
Because what I believe is happening when we die, is that it's not us physically that is...
98
going away.
99
It is a version of ourselves that was created based off of lies and manipulation.
100
Because what happens when that defense mechanism is triggered, and we find ourselves in isolation, is everything starts to come into focus.
101
All the stuff that we've been told to avoid, All the things that we buried...
102
the version of ourselves that we buried, it starts to resurface.
103
When we give ourselves that time and that space to just be present, and to just feel that is when we start to heal.
104
that is when the version of ourselves that was created based off of societal groupthink.
105
and all of these inceptions and these false ideas these
106
These false beliefs that were planted into our minds that version of ourselves begins to die.
107
But this death isn't permanent and it doesn't mean the end.
108
This is just us getting out of our own way and creating space for healing and rebirth.
109
And that's exactly what I believe is happening.
110
I believe that by isolating ourselves, we are giving ourselves the space and the permission to essentially lay waste to the person that we created
111
and that we have become Based off of who society has told us to be, and in the peace and the silence that we find in isolation, we are rediscovering our true selves.
112
And that true self, it's been there all along.
113
We've just been too distracted...
114
and too preoccupied with all the noise to remember that we exist.
115
So the next time you feel yourself leaning into isolation, and you feel like you're kind of being pushed there by an unseen force,
116
Try to think about it this way: try to remember that Maybe it's just your body's natural defense mechanisms.
117
Maybe it's just you.. creating that space for yourself to regain your focus and to see things more clearly.
118
to see things for what they really are.
119
And maybe that focus and that clarity that you gain from being in isolation
120
is going to be the very thing that allows your true self to be reborn.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이 비디오는 현대 사회에서 사람들이 고립을 선택하고 있는 현상을 다루고 있습니다. 이를 통해 여러분은 일상 대화에서 자주 쓰이는 주제인 '고립'에 대해 이야기하는 법을 배울 수 있습니다. 또한, 이러한 주제는 자신의 생각을 표현하는 데 도움이 되며, IELTS 스피킹과 같은 공식 시험 준비에도 유용합니다. 비디오를 반복해서 듣고 따라 말함으로써, 비슷한 주제에 대해 자신감을 가지고 이야기할 수 있습니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
영상에서 강조된 몇 가지 주요 구조를 살펴보겠습니다:
- “They’re choosing to remove themselves from society”: 이 표현은 고립을 선택하는 사람들의 행동을 묘사하며, 'choose to'와 같은 동사구가 사용되어 자신의 선택을 강조합니다.
- “We can’t relate to any of them”: 이는 다른 사람들과의 관계 형성을 어렵게 하는 상황을 나타냅니다. ‘relate to’와 같은 표현은 감정적 연결을 설명할 때 유용합니다.
- “It makes sense that you would want to escape from that”: 'make sense'는 논리적인 이유를 설명할 때 큰 도움이 되며, 비슷한 상황을 이야기할 때 잘 활용될 수 있습니다.
이러한 표현들은 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 통해 더욱 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있습니다.
일반적인 발음 문제
영상에서 발음하기 어려운 몇 가지 단어와 억양을 짚어 보겠습니다:
- “Isolation”: '아이솔레이션'이라고 발음하며, 's'의 발음이 중요합니다.
- “Distraction”: '디스트렉션'이라는 발음은 종종 발음 오류가 발생하므로 주의가 필요합니다.
- “Justified”: 이 단어의 발음에서도 'j'와 't'의 발음을 정확하게 구분하는 것이 중요합니다.
발음 교정을 위해 이러한 단어들을 반복적으로 연습하고, 원어민의 발음을 따라하는 것이 큰 도움이 됩니다. 실제 대화에 적용할 수 있도록 꾸준한 연습을 추천합니다.

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.
