1
Part 4 You will hear part of a lecture on nanotechnology and its applications.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
4
Today's lecture is the first of a series of lectures on nanotechnology.
5
Nanotechnology, sometimes shortened to nanotech, refers to the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular level.
6
It's the science, engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometres.
7
It is the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields.
8
Just how small is that?
9
A nanometre is one billionth of a metre.
10
The idea of nanoscale research first started from a physicist called Richard Feynman in 1959,
11
He envisaged a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules.
12
In fact, it wasn't until 1981, with the invention of a special kind of microscope, that modern nanotechnology truly began.
13
Even though nanotechnology has created many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, there is always concern over these unnatural products.
14
Many people are worried that they may pose a threat to the environment, health and safety, also known as EHS.
15
In order to better understand and evaluate the potential harm, risk assessment has been introduced.
16
There are also ongoing international collaborations on nanoEHS research and related policy issues.
17
Despite the concern nanotechnology has benefited society in unexpected ways, In the food processing industry,
18
nanotechnology is leveraged against iron deficiency, which triggers anemia.
19
For example, by reducing the particle size in potatoes,
20
this new technology improves the bioavailability of this nutritional ingredient without the tendency to cause colour and odour changes.
21
In terms of packaging, nanomaterials are more economical and are used in all sorts of products, chocolate in particular.
22
Nanotechnology can also enhance the flavour of food.
23
On a domestic scale, we expect more smart furniture, which is made of shape memory alloys, to be manufactured.
24
But nanotechnology has much wider application than this and could also help develop sustainable agriculture.
25
It offers great potential to strengthen the effect of fertilizers, thereby minimizing the environmental impact and boosting the productivity of plants in the soil.
26
In the area of medicine, bioengineers have developed simple and inexpensive nanoscale delivery vehicles,
27
Conductors like carbon nanotubes have been invented with varying structures.
28
Such nanotubes have become increasingly attractive to researchers because of their ability to efficiently deliver drugs into veins.
29
This means that higher doses of drugs loaded on them can be transported from the administration sites to the effects -related sites, such as cancer focuses.
30
thus decreasing toxic side effects while increasing the treatment effects.
31
The research team has also developed a widely accepted material that can be used to coat different surfaces, including wood, plastic and glass.
32
It is mainly comprised of silver.
33
Such nanoparticles can eventually kill some microbes due to the antiseptic properties.
34
The whole process is simple, easy to apply and, more importantly, harmless to the environment.
35
Surprisingly, nanotechnology has major implications for our health as well.
36
By changing the metabolic rate through a particular type of protein, obese patients are able to burn calories faster, even under a high calorie diet.
37
Therefore, treatment programs are provided for patients to lose weight by disposing of excess fat in a relatively safer manner.
38
The finding may help explain why overweight people struggle to lose weight.
39
Their stored fat is actively fighting against their efforts to burn it off at the molecular level.
40
Further research is mainly focused on the clinical and commercial developments of therapies for obesity,
41
diabetes and other associated conditions such as heart disease.
42
In terms of cosmetics, the applications of nanotechnology and nanomaterials can be found in many products.
43
There are two main uses for nanotechnology in cosmetics.
44
caused by the sun.
45
In addition, nanotechnology has played an important role in delivering active ingredients to the skin.
46
The mechanism proves to improve the bioavailability of actives and enhance skin hydration.
47
The wide variety of nanotechnology applications leave no doubt that this field will only continue to get more exciting,
48
and I look forward to seeing these developments further branch out.
49
That is the end of part four.
50
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

이 클립으로 달성할 말하기 목표

이 비디오는 IELTS 스피킹 준비나 일상 영어 발표 실력 향상에 딱 맞는 연습 자료입니다. 나노기술과 같은 전문 주제를 다루는 강의 내용을 통해 복잡한 정보를 명확하게 전달하는 능력을 기르고, 논리적인 흐름을 유지하면서 말하는 fluency를 키울 수 있습니다. 특히 shadowing 연습에 적합해요—빠르게 변하는 발음과 리듬을 따라하면서 듣기와 말하기 능력을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

반복해서 쓸 수 있는 표현 모음

  • refer to ~ as: ~를 ~라고 부르다
  • pose a threat to: ~에 위협이 되다
  • leverage against: ~에 활용하다
  • minimize the environmental impact: 환경 영향을 최소화하다
  • boost the productivity: 생산성을 높이다
  • decrease toxic side effects: 독성 부작용을 줄이다
  • have major implications for: ~에 큰 영향을 미치다

약점을 보완하는 방법

이 비디오는 영어 발음 교정과 리듬 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 강의에서 사용된 단어들 중 "nanotechnology", "bioavailability", "antiseptic"과 같은 길고 어려운 단어들이 많아요. 이런 단어들을 따라하면서 음절의 강세와 발음 위치를 익히세요. 또한, "thereby minimizing the environmental impact and boosting..."와 같은 긴 문장에서의 리듬을 주의깊게 듣고 따라해보세요. shadowspeaks나 shadow speak 방식을 사용하면 더 효과적입니다—비디오를 멈추지 않고 즉시 따라하는 연습을 반복하면 자연스러운 발화 속도와 리듬을 익힐 수 있습니다. 좋은 shadowing site를 찾아 꾸준히 연습한다면, 복잡한 주제도 자신있게 말할 수 있을 거예요! 화이팅!

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.
