Exercise 7 : Koala Good morning everyone. In today's lecture I want to look at one of Australia's  famous and most loved animals-the Koala.
2
The Koala is the Australian teddy bear and is  the largest member of the phalanger’s family.
3
The Koala looks like a teddy bear. It is two  and a half feet long, with ears seeming as if they were stuck on, beady eyes, and no tail.  Its dense, woolly fur is blue-gray in colour and was used commercially for fur  until koalas were almost exterminated.
4
They are pouched mammals, of course, not bears  at all, but closely related to the phallingers.
5
Koalas spend most of all their lives in the  eucalyptus trees, feeding on their leaves.
6
Their toes are armed with sharp claws, and  their fingers are divided into two groups, the split in the hand coming between the  index and middle finger, instead of between thumb and fingers as in our hand. The great  toe is thumb-like. All of these features aid in climbing. Koalas, although  usually slow and deliberate in movement, are able to spring from one upright  branch to another with surprising skill.
7
Their babies are carried in the pouch at first,  then it clings to the fur of the mother's back, riding piggyback until it is almost as large  as the mother. Koalas become quite tame and they are great attractions at the  various australian zoos and parks.

Exercise 8: Stamp collecting The collecting of postage stamps is a hobby that interests people of all ages and all walks  of life. It has countless followers in every land.
9
There are over 2 million stamp collectors in  the United States and Canada, and among these are a great many boys and girls. The most valuable stamp in the world is the one-cent British Guiana magenta of 1856. Only  one copy is known to exist; it is valued at about fifty thousand dollars. There are other  stamps worth several thousand dollars while many others are valued at hundreds of  dollars. Yet most stamps are not expensive.
10
There are hundreds of stamps worth a few  dollars and many more hundreds that you may buy for a few cents. So you see that stamp  collecting is not merely a rich man's hobby.
11
Each stamp collector finds his own stamps  fascinating, no matter how much or how little money he spends on them. The reason is that  there is always a story behind postage stamps.
12
The countries of the world use them as a means  of telling the world about their industries, their culture, their great men. They also  use stamps to celebrate important events in their history. So while a stamp  collector is enjoying his hobby, he is also storing up knowledge about all  kinds of things from every corner of the globe.
13
Usually a beginner collects everything that  comes his way. This is the best method, as in this way he will become acquainted with a  wide variety of steps. Later on he may decide to specialize in certain kinds. But unless he has  already collected all sorts of postage stamps, he will not have enough general information  about his hobby to enjoy it to the full.

Exercise 9: Get the right food to stay slim Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our regular program on health issues. Today I'm going to talk  about ways of staying healthy and slim. You know, some people seem to eat to stay alive while for  others eating is a hobby. Do you enjoy your food?
15
Are you careful about what you  eat, or do you eat what you enjoy?
16
Here is a very simple way to choose the foods that  will keep you slim and in shape and feeling great.
17
And you don't have to count calories. Let's  divide the main types of foods into three groups according to their calorie concentration.
18
First, we will use red for food that is high in  calories. Secondly ,we'll use yellow for food that is medium in calories. Then, we will use the  green color for the food that is low in calories.
19
Now, let's look at the red group. You  will find sugar, chocolate, cakes, puddings, honey, jam, cream, butter, chips,  peanuts and soft drinks. Because these foods are high in calories, you should  stop and think before you eat them.
20
In fact, you should try to avoid them as much  as possible. Moving on to the yellow group, you will find fatty meats, sausages, liver,  eggs, milk, cheese, nuts, wine, beer and salt.
21
When you eat these kinds of food you should  be careful and not eat too much of them.
22
Then, we come to the last group, the green  one. This group includes fresh fruit, salads, vegetables, seafood, yogurt, skimmed, milk,  bread, low-calorie soft drinks, tea and water.
23
When you eat these foods, you can  go ahead and eat lots of them.
24
You should use these three groups to  discover a sensible balance that suits you.
25
Remember, it is easier to stay slim than to lose  weight once you have put it on. A little care choosing what you eat and enough regular exercise  will go a long way to get you feeling great.
26
Exercise 10: Our body systems Our body is a wonderful machine.
27
It has more parts and can do more types  of work than any machine in the world.
28
That is why we say that man is the  supreme living thing in this world.
29
Well, now let's have a look at our body  systems. I'm going to go through them quickly and then we will have a look at them in detail. Our bodies are made up of several parts: the head, neck, trunk, arms and legs. These parts are held  together by a framework called the skeleton.
30
The skeleton is made up of bones and  it gives the body its shape and form.
31
Bones not only support our bodies but also  help to protect important organs. The skull protects the brain. The ribs protect the lungs and  heart. The hips protect part of the food canal.
32
The spine protects the spinal cord. There  are different types of bones in our bodies.
33
The main support of the body is the  backbone or spine. It is made up of a long row of small bones joined to one  another it is found only in the neck and trunk.
34
The bones of our body are hard white  and strong. When a bone breaks, new cells begin to grow at the broken ends.
35
More and more new cells are formed until  finally the broken ends meet and join together.
36
To find out if a bone is broken, the doctor uses  an X-ray machine. This machine can photograph the inside of the body. The photographs  it takes are called X-ray photographs.
37
The ribs can be seen clearly from it. There are more than 600 muscles in your body.
38
They make up the flesh that lies  between the skin and the skeleton.
39
Muscles can contract and relax. Their  contraction and relaxation cause body movements.
40
They also push food through the  body and make the blood circulate.
41
Now let's see the nervous system. It  is made up of three parts the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves. All parts of the  body are connected to the brain by nerves. Nerves act like telegraph wires. They carry messages  from the different parts of the body to the brain.
42
Then the brain decides on what to do and it  sends messages back to the appropriate parts of the body. This system controls all muscle  movement and also controls your senses.
43
So the nervous system is very important  because without it we will not be able to feel, smell, taste, hear and see. The brain is  the most important part of the nervous system.
44
It controls the movements of the body and sends  out instructions to all parts of the body.
45
Exercise 11: Inventor of the telephone Today people can talk to each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. They can hear each  other as clearly as if they were in the same room.
46
The man who made this possible was Alexander  Graham Bell. His invention is the telephone.
47
The telephone sends the human voice  from one end of the world to the other.
48
Bell is famous not only as an inventor. He  is also well known as a writer of books to help people who cannot speak or hear. He was a  teacher of such people. This made him interested in sound. This interest led to his invention. Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1847. As a boy he was interested in inventions.  He went to the University's of Edinburgh and London. His father and grandfather  had both been teachers of deaf people.
49
His father had worked out a system of “Visible  Speech”, that is, a system by which a deaf person can “see” what people say by reading  their lips. Bell learned this system. He soon became a teacher of the deaf and he opened  his own school for deaf people in Canada.
50
Through his teaching, Bell became  interested in the sound of the human voice.
51
He thought that it should be possible to send  sound across a distance. That is what the word telephone means-far sound. With  his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, he worked day and night on this idea.  They strung wires across several rooms.
52
Each time when they thought that they had found  a way, they tried to talk through the wires.
53
Each time they were disappointed. After each  failure they made some changes and tried again.
54
Exercise 12: Inventor of the telephone Then one day in June of 1875 Watson, who was  downstairs, heard Bell's voice from the attic: “Mr.Watson, please come here, I want  you.” Watson was so excited that he ran upstairs crying “I heard you. Mr. Bell. I heard  you clearly”. On that day the telephone had been invented. The words Bell spoke to Watson  was the first telephone message ever sent.
55
Bell and Watson continued to  work to improve the telephone.
56
The first long-distance, two-way telephone  conversation took place later that same year.
57
It was between Boston and Cambridge,  Massachusetts, a distance of two miles.
58
In 1877, a telephone company was formed.  The first telephone exchange was opened the next year in New Haven. Connecticut.  It had eight lines and 21 telephones.
59
From that time on, telephone systems grew fast.
60
Two years later, there were over 47,000 telephones  in the United States. The telephone spread rapidly both here and in Europe. Bell lived to see  millions of telephones used all over the world.
61
He had the joy of speaking from coast to coast  by telephone. He died shortly before telephone service across the ocean was established.  His invention brought him wealth and great honors. He was given many medals and honorary  degrees. His invention has often been called one of America's greatest gifts to the world. When Alexander Graham Bell died on august 2nd, 1922, all the telephones in the united states were  silent for one minute in memory of a great man.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 영상은 영어 쉐도잉영어 회화 연습에 매우 유용한 자료입니다. 호주에서 가장 사랑받는 동물인 코알라에 대한 설명을 통해, 다양한 주제에 대한 말하기 능력을 배양할 수 있습니다. 이 비디오는 일상적인 대화를 시뮬레이션하면서 적용할 수 있는 실제적인 표현들을 제공하므로, 시청자는 자연스럽게 말하기 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 무엇보다도, 이런 방식의 학습은 발음, 억양, 그리고 대화의 흐름을 이해하는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다.

문법 및 표현 분석

영상에서 사용된 주요 문법 구조와 표현들은 다음과 같습니다:

  • 현재 시제: "The Koala looks like a teddy bear."와 같은 문장은 현재 시제를 사용하여 코알라의 특징을 설명합니다. 이는 송출 내용을 이해하는 데 기본적이며, 상황 설명에 자주 쓰이는 형식입니다.
  • 수동태: "It was used commercially for fur." 같은 수동태 문장은 앞서 언급된 대상을 중심으로 하여, 행동의 주체보다는 행위 자체에 초점을 맞추게 합니다.
  • 비교급 표현: "Koalas become quite tame."라는 표현에서는 'quite'를 사용하여 '매우'의 의미를 강조합니다. 이는 감정이나 상태의 변화를 표현할 때 유용하게 사용됩니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

이 영상에서 주의해야 할 발음 및 억양에는 몇 가지가 있습니다:

  • Koala: 원어민처럼 "코알라"라고 발음하는 것이 중요합니다. 일부는 "코알라"라고 잘못 발음할 수 있으므로 정확한 발음에 집중해야 합니다.
  • eucalyptus: 이 단어는 "유칼립투스"로 발음되며, 길게 읽혀야 하므로 주의가 필요합니다.
  • pouch: "파우치"라고 발음하되, '우'의 발음을 살려야 자연스러운 억양으로 들립니다.

이와 같은 발음 연습은 shadow speak, 즉 그림자 말하기의 일환으로 활용하면 매우 효과적입니다. 발음을 교정하고 원어민의 억양을 익히는 데 도움이 됩니다.

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.
