3
One afternoon, Elephant said, It sure is quiet around here today.
4
Monkey wiggled her ears.
5
Maybe too quiet, she said.
6
Just then, cousin Mimi and her baby stopped by.
7
Good news, said Mimi.
8
My mashed banana pie won first prize in the Yum Yum Baking Contest.
9
Ooh, that is good news, said Monkey, clapping her hands.
10
What's the prize? asked Elephant.
11
A cart full of coconuts, said Mimi.
12
Nice, said Monkey.
13
Yes, said Mimi, but I must pick them up at tasty cooking school.
14
Too far to take my babies.
15
Not too far for me, said Baby 1.
16
Not far for me, said Baby 2.
17
Not me, Teehee, said Baby 3.
18
If only I had a babysitter, said cousin Mimi.
19
Monkey looked at Elephant.
20
It's really too quiet around here, she said.
21
We will babysit for you, Mimi.
22
We will? said Elephant.
23
Of course we will, said Monkey.
24
Right, Elephant?
25
She gave him a little poke.
26
Hmm, said Elephant. Of course.
27
Oh, thank you, monkey and elephant, said cousin Mimi.
28
I'll bring the babies over tomorrow after breakfast.
29
Mmm, I like breakfast, said baby one.
30
Mmm, and lunch, said baby two.
31
Mmm, and snacks, teehee, said baby three.
32
Mimi and the babies waved bye-bye and headed for home.
33
Monkey, said Elephant, have you ever babysat before?
34
Monkey shrugged.
35
No, not really. Have you?
36
No, never, said Elephant.
37
Well then, best friend, said Monkey, here we go again.
38
Together on another adventure.
39
Chapter 2 Some Rules Monkey, said Elephant the next morning, do you think babysitting will be hard?
40
Monkey scampered up his trunk and settled behind one big ear.
41
For babysitting, she said, we need some rules.
42
What rules? asked Elephant.
43
Monkey scratched her head and looked down the path.
44
I will tell you when I know, she said, scrambling down Elephant's trunk.
45
They're here!
46
We want to play, shouted Baby One.
47
Play with you, shouted Baby Two.
48
Play with me.
49
Tee-hee, shouted Baby Three.
50
Mimi blew kisses and hurried away.
51
The babies ran around Elephant.
52
They grabbed his tail, squeezed his ears, and jumped rope with his trunk.
53
Ouch! cried Elephant.
54
Rule number one, said Monkey.
55
Play, but not too rough, okay?
56
Okay, they all agreed.
57
I want to race now, hollered Baby One.
58
Race fast, shouted Baby Two.
59
Race me!
60
Teehee, squealed Baby Three.
61
No, me, me, me, they all shouted.
62
Quiet, please, said Monkey.
63
Rule number two.
64
No, me, me, me.
65
She drew a line in the dust.
66
Everyone starts here at the same time, okay?
67
Okay, the babies agreed.
68
Now listen for elephant's trumpet, said monkey.
69
Wah, wah, wah, elephant blew.
70
Go!
71
The babies raced back and forth, back and forth, until...
72
Too hard, said Baby 1.
73
Give me water, said Baby 2.
74
I'm hungry, said Baby 3 without a teehee.
75
Uh-oh, said Elephant.
76
Are they whining?
77
I think so, said Monkey.
78
Is there a rule for it?
79
Monkey held up three fingers.
80
Rule number three, snack now, nap later.
81
Elephant set down cups of water.
82
Monkey gave the baby some banana chips.
83
They nibbled and yawned, nibbled and yawned.
84
And when you finish eating, said Monkey, it's nap time.
85
But by then, they were already snuggled up asleep.
86
Ahoo, elephant yawned, babysitting, sure is hard work.
87
Monkey closed her eyes.
88
Yes, it sure is.
89
Chapter 3, Home Again Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle.
90
In the tall, dry grass, three riffraff wildcats crouched low and whispered,
91
Did you know that monkeys are a very good snack?
92
Did you know that baby monkeys are the very best snack?
93
Oh?
94

99
Yikes! they screeched, running away fast.
100
And stay away! snorted elephant.
101
The babies woke up.
102
They rubbed their eyes and looked around.
103

112
Sounds nice and busy, said Mimi.
113
Where's your prize? asked Elephant.
114
Cousin Mimi pulled a cart full of coconuts out of the tall grass.
115
Here, she said.
116
She put a big pile of coconuts in the grass.
117
For you, good babysitters, she said.
118
Thanks, said Monkey and Elephant.
119

They helped one another into the cart.

130
Even though you have a cart now, sometimes can we still babysit? so things won't get too quiet, said Monkey.
131
What do you say, babies? asked Mimi.
132
Sometimes, for sure!
133
Wait!
134
They agreed and waved bye-bye.
135
Monkey and Elephant sat in the shade, sipping fresh coconut juice.
136
Ah, sighed Monkey.

Mmm, adventure, said Elephant.

143
And best friends, added Monkey.
144
Forever, Monkey and Elephant promised together.

Bonk.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하나?

이 영상은 'Monkey and Elephant and the Babysitting Adventure'라는 이야기로, 친구와 함께 겪는 재미있는 육아 모험을 통해 자연스러운 영어 대화의 맥락을 제공합니다. 특히, 이 같은 비디오는 shadow speech 기술을 연습하는 데에 매우 유용합니다. 이야기가 전개되는 상황에서 등장인물들의 대화를 따라 하면서, 실제 생활에서 자주 사용되는 표현과 어휘를 익힐 수 있습니다. IELTS 스피킹과 같은 시험 준비에도 큰 도움이 되며, 학생들은 나만의 발음을 쉽게 확인하고 교정할 수 있는 기회를 얻게 됩니다.

문맥에서의 문법 및 표현

이 영상에서 사용된 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현을 분석해 보겠습니다:

  • 직접적인 질문 사용: 'What’s the prize?'와 같은 질문은 상대방의 의견을 유도하며 대화를 풍부하게 만듭니다.
  • 의도 표현하기: 'We will babysit for you'라며 의도를 명확히 하여 상대방에게 신뢰를 주는 문체가 돋보입니다.
  • 강조된 반응: 'Ooh, that is good news'와 같은 감정 표현은 비언어적 의사소통을 보완해, 대화를 더 감각적으로 만들어 줍니다.

이처럼 다양한 문법 구조를 익히면 영어 실력 향상에 큰 도움이 됩니다.

일반적인 발음의 함정

비디오에서 다루는 몇 가지 발음에서 주의할 점을 살펴보겠습니다:

  • ‘babysit’: ‘baby’와 ‘sit’이 결합된 단어로, 올바른 강세를 두어 자연스럽게 발음하는 것이 중요합니다.
  • ‘Mimi’: 친근감을 나타내는 이름 발음에서, 'M' 소리와 함께 ‘i’의 발음을 부드럽게 해야 합니다.
  • ‘coconut’: ‘co’와 ‘nut’의 발음을 명확히 구별하여 발음해야, 원어민과의 대화에서 더 자연스러움을 느낄 수 있습니다.

영어 발음 교정에 어려움을 겪는 학습자라면, 이 비디오를 보면서 반복하여 연습하는 것이 좋습니다. shadowspeak 기법을 활용하여 발음 교정과 함께 구사력까지 키워보세요.

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.
