쉐도잉 연습: Science experiment for Year 12 students: Đề thi IELTS LISTENING (actual test) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Part 3 You will hear a trainee science teacher called Claire talking about her practical teaching work to another trainee called Jake.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
3
Thank you.
4
questions 21 to 25.
5
Hi, Jake.
6
How are you getting on with the practical teaching?
7
It's harder than I expected, but I've got some great classes.
8
How about you?
9
Not brilliant.
10
I'm really struggling with my Year 12 science class.
11
Are they hard to control?
12
Well, I don't have discipline problems as such.
13
It's just that they don't seem to think
14
that science has anything to do with their lives it's depressing they listen to what i say
15
and i gave them a test last week and the results weren't too bad but there's no real engagement right
16
and as part of my teaching practice i have to design
17
an experiment for them to do i was wondering about something
18
on the children's diets you know asking them to record what they eat and maybe linking it to their state of health?
19
Hmm, let's think.
20
So your methodology would involve the children recording what they eat,
21
okay, but you'd also need to have access to the children's medical records, and I don't think people would be happy about that.
22
Confidentiality would be an issue.
23
If you could get the right data, the conclusions might be significant, but I suspect it's not going to be easy.
24
Right.
25
Have you thought about doing an experiment using animals?
26
Wouldn't that be upsetting for the children?
27
Well, the animals don't have to be harmed in any way.
28
It could just be an experiment where they're given a certain diet and the effects are observed.
29
Would I have to get permission to use these animals?
30
Yes.
31
You'd have to submit an outline of the experiment and fill in a form, but it's quite straightforward.
32
But if we found out that, say, a particular diet affects the health of animals, the same thing wouldn't necessarily be true for people, would it?
33
No, that's true.
34
But the findings for any experiment are going to be limited.
35
It's inevitable.
36
I suppose so.
37
So what animals could I use to investigate the effects of diet?
38
Mice?
39
Yes.
40
You'd need experimental mice, ones that have been specially bred for experiments.
41
OK, so what will your experiment be investigating exactly?
42
Well, something to do with nutrition.
43
So maybe we could look at food supplements, things like extra iron and extra protein and their impact on health.
44
That might be rather broad.
45
Maybe just look at the effects of one supplement, like sugar, on the health of the mice.
46
In fact, maybe the focus could be on whether mice can control their own diet.
47
So what happens when they have access to more sugar that they don't really need?
48
Exactly.
49
Do they eat it or do they decide to leave it?
50
Great.
51
Then later on you could do a follow-up experiment adding another variable.
52
Like you could give some of the mice the chance to be more active, running on a wheel or something, and the others just sit around and don't do much.
53
Or I could repeat the experiment, but change the type of food I provided, or use mice with a different genetic structure.
54
But I think your idea would be more interesting.
55
I might think about that some more.
56
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
57
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
58
So, can I talk through a possible procedure for the experiment where mice are given a sugar supplement?
59
Sure.
60
I did a similar experiment in college, actually.
61
Great.
62
So, how many mice would I need?
63
I'd say about 12, and all young ones, not a mixture of old and young.
64
OK.
65
And I'd need two groups of equal sizes, so six in each group.
66
And how would I tell them apart?
67
I suppose I could put some sort of tag on one group or just mark them in some way.
68
You could use food colouring.
69
That wouldn't hurt them.
70
Perfect.
71
Then each group would go into a separate cage and one group, let's call them group A, would be the control group.
72
So they'd just have ordinary mouse food.
73
I suppose you can buy that?
74
Yes, it comes in dry pellets.
75
And the other group would have the same as the first group, but they'd also have the extra sugar.
76
Would you just give them straight sugar?
77
It might be better to give them something like cereal with it.
78
Hmm.
79
Then you'd need to weigh the mice, I should think, once a week.
80
And you'd need an electronic balance.
81
But we can't hold them on the balance, or it'd affect the reading.
82
Exactly.
83
so you need something called a weighing chamber to stop the mice from running away.
84
It sounds complicated but actually you can just use a plastic box with holes in the top.
85
OK.
86
So once we've measured the weight gain of each mouse we
87
can work out the average for each group as well as the standard deviation and then see where we go from there.
88
That sounds cool.
89
I think the students will enjoy it.
90
Yes.
91
One thing you must remember...
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 실제 아이엘츠 리스닝 시험의 한 부분으로, 과학 실험을 주제로 한 대화입니다. 영어를 배우는 데 있어 실제적인 대화 상황을 듣고 이해하는 것은 매우 중요합니다. 특히말하기 능력을 향상시키기 위한 shadowing site를 찾고 있다면, 이러한 비디오는 귀하가 영어 발음 교정과 발음의 억양, 리듬을 익힐 수 있는 절호의 기회입니다. 또한, 과학은 많은 학생들에게 흥미로운 주제로, 그들의 전공에 연관된 내용을 통해 실생활과 연결된 영어 사용의 중요성을 깨닫게 해줄 것입니다. 교실에서의 대화와 그 맥락을 이해하는 것은 더욱 자연스러운 영어 대화 능력을 기르는 데 도움을 줄 것입니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현을 분석해보겠습니다:

  • How are you getting on with...? - 이 표현은 상대방의 진행 상황을 물어보는 친근한 질문입니다. 대화의 시작으로 매우 효과적입니다.
  • It’s just that... - 이 구문은 설명에 드는 이유를 강조할 때 사용됩니다. 문제의 원인을 명확히 할 수 있습니다.
  • Would I have to...? - 이 표현은 조건이나 허가를 요청할 때 쓰이며, 상대방에게 궁금한 부분을 잘 전달할 수 있습니다.
  • What will your experiment be investigating exactly? - 이 질문은 상대방의 계획을 구체적으로 묻는 자연스러운 방법입니다. 대화를 깊이 있게 만들 수 있습니다.

이와 같은 구조를 익히면 영어 쉐도잉 연습 시에 더욱 유창한 말을 만들어 낼 수 있습니다.

발음에서 흔히 발생하는 함정

비디오 속 대화에서 몇 가지 발음 니즈를 확인해보겠습니다:

  • Nutrition - 이 단어는 특히 ‘니츄리션’으로 발음하길래, 많은 학습자들이 틀리기 쉬운 부분입니다.
  • Experiment - 종종 ‘엑스페리먼트’라고 발음하지만, 비디오에서는 더 부드러운 억양으로 소리가 났습니다. 정확한 발음을 익히는 것이 중요합니다.
  • Confidentiality - 이 단어는 긴 편이며, 발음하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 자음과 모음의 조합에서의 발음 연습이 필요합니다.

이외에도 여러 단어와 표현에서 발음 연습의 중요성을 깨닫게 될 것입니다. 특히 영어 발음 교정shadow speech 연습을 통해 효과적으로 개선할 수 있습니다. 반복적으로 들어보고 말하면서 정확한 발음을 연습해보세요.

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.
