1
Now turn to part four.
2
You will hear part of a radio arts programme in which two people, Arthur and Carla, are discussing a book called Windworld.
3
For questions 23 to 28, decide whether the opinions are expressed by only one of the speakers or whether the speakers agree.
4
Write A for Arthur, C for Carla, or B for both where they agree.
5
You now have 30 seconds in which to look at part 4.
6
Today on A Good Read we're talking about George Swallow's novel Windworld, published last year and it has just won the Bateman Prize.
7
We have with us Arthur Lachman, writer, and Carla Fletcher, who lectures in engineering at King's College.
8
Arthur, let's start with you.
9
Well, I read the novel when it first came out, and I was very happy to be asked to re-read it for this programme.
10
And I remembered the powerful characterisation, the certainty of touch, particularly the older protagonist, Joe Bean, and his sisters,
11
in the throes of change from one era to another.
12
Rather miserable characters, but assured portraits.
13
What I valued as well was the atmosphere Swallow creates, the sense that everything he created felt right within the time and place.
14
Did you find that?
15
Very interesting question.
16
As a scientist, I always come to books with a critical eye for technical details.
17
As I say, Joe Bean and his family as people rang incredibly true for me.
18
I found myself doubting whether certain incidents, certain assumptions, squared with the period in which the book is set.
19
I have to say that I found the sheer amount of technical detail about inventions, which Swallow included as a labour of love,
20
I have no doubt, gave the layperson a hard time, making it difficult to follow the plot.
21
Hmm.
22
I actually found myself comparing all these descriptions of the windmills and pumps with his earlier works,
23
Learner Games and Thorn, which both dealt with the same period, but neither of which included this kind of complexity.
24
Much more populist, deliberately more accessible to a wide readership.
25
There is much to link the writing of all three books.
26
You can recognise Swallow's individual voice in all of them.
27
He's speaking to one specific audience, in my view.
28
Do you feel Windworld is a great novel?
29
Oh, very much so.
30
The current of the author's own life in the east of England pulses through the whole work so compellingly.
31
So, yes, I would say that it lifts this book into the category of great writing.
32
I wouldn't be quite that positive, though I do agree that the character of Joe Bean draws its strength from the writer's close acquaintance with Joe's environment.
33
To my mind, he's almost certainly Swallow, putting himself in another age,
34
positioning himself with his upbringing and his character and his beliefs in the 18th century.
35
I was intrigued by some of these set episodes, like the incident with the birds.
36
It was genuinely fascinating, I thought.
37
I understand the film rights have been bought.
38
Do you think it'll work as well as the book does?
39
No question.
40
If they keep away from too much social realism and misery.
41
If they don't make Joe's story the central one, it'll die a death.
42
Well, just about all the stories are likely to come through well, in my opinion.
43
We'll have to see how it turns out.

Please stop now.

왜 이 영상으로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이 영상은 두 명의 스피커, 아서와 카를라가 조지 스왈로의 소설 Windworld에 대해 토론하는 내용을 담고 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 영어 회화 연습을 하는 데에는 여러 이점이 있습니다. 첫째, 실제 대화의 맥락에서 자연스러운 발화 패턴을 이해할 수 있습니다. 이처럼 실제 콘텐츠를 활용하여 shadow speak 연습을 하면, 다양한 표현과 어휘를 자신의 언어로 습득하고 구사할 수 있게 됩니다. 둘째, 등장인물들의 의견 교환을 통해 상반되는 관점을 비교할 수 있어 비판적 사고 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 마지막으로, 이 영상에서는 작가의 스타일과 목소리에 대해 논의함으로써 문학적 기법과 주제를 이해하는 데 도움을 줍니다.
문맥 속 문법 및 표현
이 대화에서의 몇 가지 주요 구조를 분석해보겠습니다:
- “I found myself doubting”: 이 표현은 화자가 어떤 것에 대해 의심이나 불확실성을 이야기할 때 사용됩니다. 연습을 통해 다양한 감정을 표현하는 법을 익힐 수 있습니다.
- “It's almost certain that”: 이 구조는 어떤 사실이나 진실성에 대해 강조할 때 쓰입니다. 확신을 표현하는 다양한 방식도 함께 배워보세요.
- “Do you think it'll work as well as”: 이 질문형 표현은 비교를 통해 의견을 묻는 데 유용합니다. 이러한 문장은 회화에서 자주 사용되므로 익혀두는 것이 좋습니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
이 영상에서는 몇 가지 발음상의 어려움이 있습니다. 특히, “Windworld”와 같은 고유명사는 발음하기가 까다로울 수 있습니다. 이는 누락되기 쉬운 강세와 발음으로 인해 생기는 어려움입니다. 또한, “technical detail”와 같은 어구는 빠르게 말할 때 발음이 뭉개지기 쉬우므로, 주의가 필요합니다. 이런 단어들을 반복적으로 연습하여 영어 발음 교정을 할 수 있습니다. 마지막으로, 스피커의 억양을 주의 깊게 들으며 발음을 따라 하는 것이 효과적인 연습법입니다. 다양한 음소와 억양을 이해하면, 자연스러운 회화를 할 수 있습니다.
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.
