Track 13, Reading 7a Powering the Planet Despite modern society's heavy dependence on fossil fuels for energy,
2
most people are aware that the supply of these fuels is finite.
3
As oil and other fossil fuels become more costly and difficult to find, researchers are looking at alternative energy sources,
4
including solar, wind, and even nuclear power.
5
But which substitute, if any, is the right one?
6
Solar.
7
Solar panels catch energy directly from the sun and convert it into electricity.
8
One of the world's largest solar power stations is in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu,
9
where more than 2 .5 million solar panels have the capacity to generate enough power for 750 ,000 people.
10
But unlike the burning of fossil fuels, the process used to create all that solar energy produces no emissions.
11
Today, however, solar power provides less than 2 % of the world's energy,
12
primarily because the cost of the panels is still very high.
13
But price is only one issue.
14
Clouds and darkness also cause solar panels to produce less energy.
15
This requires that additional power sources, such as batteries, be available.
16
Some scientists think the solution to this problem can be found in space, which is the ideal place to gather energy from the sun.
17
With no clouds and no night time, a space -based solar power station could operate constantly.
18
These stations would send the power back to Earth, which could then be turned into electricity for consumption.
19
Advocates of solar space stations say this technology would initially require a lot of money, but eventually, it could provide continuous,
20
clean energy that would be cheaper than other fuels.
21
Also, unlike other energy sources, solar power from space would last as long as the sun shines,
22
and would guarantee everyone on Earth all the energy they need.
23
Wind Wind, the fastest -growing alternative energy source, is another way of collecting energy from the sun.
24
Wind is caused by the sun's heat rather than its light.
25
Therefore, unlike solar power, wind power works well even on cloudy days.
26
All over the world, incentives designed to decrease the dependence on oil and coal have led to a steep increase in wind -powered energy.
27
Today, Asia leads the world in wind power, producing around 230 ,000 megawatts,
28
the equivalent of 230 large coal -powered plants.
29
Europe produces nearly 180 ,000 megawatts.
30
North America remains a distant third at 105 ,000.
31
Despite its successes, some people are protesting wind power development, saying the turbines are both noisy and ugly.
32
Just outside England's Lake District, a protected national park, a dozen existing wind towers are due to be removed.
33
This is a high -quality landscape, says one local homeowner.
34
They shouldn't be putting those things in here.
35
There are other challenges, too.
36
If the wind doesn't blow, the turbines are not able to produce adequate energy.
37
As a result, other power sources are needed.
38
In contrast, a strong wind can create too much power.
39
In cases like this, the energy company must sell the extra power at a much reduced rate, which is not good for business.
40
What's needed for both wind and solar is a way to store a large energy surplus.
41
However, most systems are still decades away from making this a reality.
42
On the plus side, both wind and solar power enable people to generate their own energy where they live.
43
People can have their own windmills or solar panels with batteries for calm days.
44
Nuclear In the 1970s, nuclear power was seen as the main energy alternative.
45
Nuclear power produces vast amounts of electricity more cheaply than gas or coal with no carbon emissions.
46
For a number of years in the 1980s and 90s, however, use of nuclear power declined due to accidents,
47
concerns about nuclear waste storage and disposal, and high construction costs.
48
Today, times are changing.
49
Worldwide, about 450 plants generate 11 % of the planet's electric power,
50
and some countries have invested heavily in nuclear energy.
51
France, for instance, gets three -quarters of its electricity from nuclear power, the highest percentage of any country.
52
China has started to build one or two new plants a year, and India has also begun to utilize nuclear energy on a
53
large scale however there are still concerns about the safety of
54
nuclear power as seen for example at the fukushima nuclear power
55
plant in japan the country had to close the nuclear reactors at fukushima
56
when the plant was hit by a tsunami
57
and as a consequence began releasing substantial amounts of radioactive materials many still believe however
58
that nuclear power is one of the future's greenest energy alternatives.
59
In the end, are any of these sources alone the answer to our current energy problems?
60
The short answer is no, but used in some combination, along with other power sources,
61
we may find ways to reduce and eventually eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels.

이 영상을 활용한 영어 말하기 연습의 장점

이 영상은 '대체 에너지'라는 실용적인 주제를 다루고 있어 일상 대화뿐만 아니라 논술이나 토론에서도 자주 사용되는 표현을 배울 수 있습니다. 특히 태양광, 풍력, 원자력에 대한 구체적인 예시와 장단점을 설명하는 구조는 영어로 사실을 전달하고 의견을 제시하는 능력을 키우기에 적합합니다. 영상 영어 공부를 통해 쉐도잉(shadow speak) 연습을 하면, 자연스러운 발화 속도와 강세, 억양을 익힐 수 있으며, 복잡한 문장 구조도 부드럽게 구사할 수 있게 됩니다.

문맥 속 문법과 표현

  • "Despite ~": '비록 ~임에도 불구하고'라는 뜻으로, 접속사로 사용되어 절이나 명사구를 연결합니다. 예: "Despite modern society's heavy dependence..."에서 '비록 현대 사회가 화석 연료에 크게 의존하지만'으로 번역됩니다. 이 표현은 논술에서 대조적인 내용을 제시할 때 자주 사용되므로 꼭 기억하세요.
  • "convert it into ~": '~로 변환하다'는 의미로, 에너지나 자원의 변환을 설명할 때 유용합니다. 예: "convert it into electricity"는 '전기로 변환하다'입니다. 유사 표현으로 "turn into"도 있지만, "convert"는 더 공식적인 맥락에서 사용됩니다.
  • "the equivalent of ~": '~와 동등한'이라는 뜻으로, 수량이나 가치를 비교할 때 사용됩니다. 예: "the equivalent of 230 large coal-powered plants"는 '230개의 대형 석탄 발전소와 동등한'입니다. 이 표현은 구체적인 수치를 설명할 때 명확하게 의미를 전달할 수 있습니다.

발음의 함정

이 영상에서는 몇 가지 발음이 어려운 단어가 등장합니다. "fossil fuels"에서 'fossil'은 /ˈfɑːsl/로 발음하며, 's'와 'l' 사이에 모음이 없어서 빠르게 발음해야 합니다. "turbines"는 /ˈtɜːrbaɪnz/로, 'b'와 'i' 사이에 'r'이 들어가므로 부드럽게 발음해야 합니다. 또한 "nuclear"은 /ˈnuːkliər/로 발음하지만, 일부 사람들은 /ˈnjuːkliər/로 발음하기도 하므로 주의하세요. 영어 발음 교정을 위해 쉐도잉을 할 때는 단어의 강세와 음절을 정확히 따라하는 것이 중요합니다. 특히 "solar panels"나 "wind power"와 같은 복합어는 연결 발음이 되므로, 빠르게 발음할 때도 명확하게 들리도록 연습하세요.

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.
