쉐도잉 연습: The US-Canada border splits this road down the middle - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

I'm not allowed to cross this road because this is the town of Stansted, Canada.

On the other side of the street is Derby Line, USA.

And the border between the two countries runs right down this, Rue Canussa.

For the local residents, that can be inconvenient.

I lived here all my life, so 63 years.

Today you cannot cross over the line and visit your neighbors like years ago.

If you want to cross, you have to report that custom.

You know, I used to cross every day.

And now I probably cross once a week because I come down to the post office over here.

To go through the border, basically they ask you a passport, they go inside, I guess they look at if you have a record or not, they look at your registration of your car,

about a couple of minutes and you're going through.

I'm a dual citizen, so I'm American and Canadian, so it's easier.

This is a place where the idea of a border as a solid, easy to understand line gets a little bit fuzzy.

The road doesn't run at exactly the same angle as the border, not precisely.

The official line is that this is Canada and that's the USA, but both countries' maps show the road as being entirely in the US just here and entirely in Canada up there.

The houses are definitely in separate countries, but the road?

It's not quite as clear.

And in practice, if I was driving, I'd be okay.

Even on that side of the road, I am considered to be still in Canada, as long as I don't stop and walk up to an American house.

It's fair to say that there's a little bit of leniency here

if you're just nudging the border by a few centimeters or if you're on that side a couple of inches. But

while I was setting up my camera here the police turned

up lights flashing to move along those bikers you saw earlier

who were admiring the view from the other side of the road.

It all seemed in good spirits but they had crossed the border.

Well the library is part on the Canadian side part on the American side but But you stay on the Canadian side, you stay on the sidewalk, and you go through the front door and it's permitted.

On Canooset Street, there's a sidewalk on the Canadian side.

So back years ago, it was tolerated that people on the American side could cross over and walk on the sidewalk.

So basically, it's a little dangerous to walk on the side of the road.

And now today, well, it's not tolerated no more.

I think the rules hasn't changed much, but they're more enforced.

When you cross, they ask you more questions than they used to, you know, years ago.

Before, you went through the border and you knew most of the custom officers

and they used to wave to you, you know?

In 1783, this section of the Canada-US border was set at the 45th parallel, a line of latitude.

Slightly inaccurate measurements were accepted by both countries.

So it was locked in.

But as for this specific road, there are local stories about drunk surveyors and pranks, but no one really knows.

Thank you.

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.
