쉐도잉 연습: TIME for Kids Reporter Asks Astronaut Anne McClain for Advice for Kids - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hi, I'm Miguel, a TFK Kid Reporter.
2
And my question for you, Anne, is I'm really interested in astronauts and space.
3
So what advice would you have for kids like me?
4
And what role do you think young people should play for the future of space exploration?
5
Well, that's a great question, Miguel, because when I was your age, and actually even earlier, I was about three years old
6
when I looked up to the stars and I decided that I wanted to be an astronaut.
7
And that's when I first told my parents.
8
So just the fact that you're enthusiastic about it, that is actually the first start because all of the future astronauts are doing exactly what you're doing every day.
9
They're getting up, they're going to school, they're learning what they can, they're taking lots of different subjects, and so what you're doing right now is actually exactly what you should be doing to come
10
and be part of space flight.
11
Now for anybody that wants to come and be an astronaut
12
or to do any of the many many many different jobs that we have at NASA, the biggest thing is to figure out what you're passionate about and what you love doing
13
and do that because if you're passionate about something you're going to be better at it
14
because all of what we do it takes
15
so much more work than i ever anticipated when i looked up
16
and thought i want to be an astronaut i didn't even see half of the work
17
that it was going to take to get here evenings
18
and weekends and not going out with my friends
19
when i wanted to and canceling trips
20
and just focusing on my work that's what it takes
21
but that's worth it if what you're doing is is something
22
that you love and that you're passionate about and that brings you joy.
23
Because the other part is that, you know, there's so many different jobs at NASA, like I said, not just within the astronaut corps, you know, within the astronaut office, we have, we have doctors,
24
we have scientists, we have geologists, we have pilots, we have people that are not pilots, we have scuba divers, we have submariners,
25
we have all sorts of different ways that you can become an astronaut.
26
However, we also have a ton of people that work at NASA, and they get to work with space exploration every single day, and they're not engineers and scientists.
27
We have educators that go out and they tell the story.
28
We have media and public relations people that tell the story and do the interviews and make the videos.
29
And these guys are the same people that they also get on helicopters
30
and they fly over to Kazakhstan and down to Florida and they see launches and landings, but they tell the story.
31
And so whatever your passion is, you can be part of this if you'd like to.
32
So, but my biggest thing is to not give up.
33
Do not give up.
34
I run into a lot adults
35
that say you know I wanted to be an astronaut but
36
but they say but but I stopped but I decided not to
37
but I decided not to major in engineering
38
but I decided it was going to be too hard
39
but I decided to go do something else
40
and what I realized was most adults stopped pursuing it themselves nobody came
41
and said hey you're not good enough most people gave up themselves
42
and so what I want you to think about is keep making the decisions that move you onto that path
43
because somebody sitting in your classroom today is going to be an astronaut
44
or a classroom just like yours is going to be an astronaut there's the same with the president
45
and the doctors and the lawyers
46
and the professional sports players they're all sitting in school right now
47
so it's those people that stay focused on their mission
48
and keep making those decisions about doing things that they're passionate about
49
that are the ones that end up uh where i am
50
and where other successful people are so good luck and don't give up

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오에서 앤 맥클레인 우주인은 아이들에게 우주 탐사에 대한 열정을 가지라는 조언을 합니다. 이런 맥락에서, 이 비디오를 활용하여 말하기 연습을 하면 다양한 학습 효과를 기대할 수 있습니다. 특히, 우주 탐사와 같은 흥미로운 주제를 통해 영어를 배우면 더욱 몰입할 수 있는데, 이는 영어 쉐도잉의 효과를 극대화합니다. 우주인과 같은 영웅적 존재의 경험을 통해, 청소년들이 자신의 꿈을 구체화하고 실천할 수 있는 용기를 얻을 수 있습니다. 또한, 이 비디오는 IELTS 스피킹과 같은 시험 준비에 유용한 소재를 제공하여 실제 대화 상황에서도 자신감을 가질 수 있도록 도와줍니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • “I decided that I wanted to be an astronaut.” - ’I decided’라는 표현은 결정을 내리는 과정에서 중요한 문법 구조로, 자신의 꿈을 진지하게 고민하는 태도를 드러냅니다.
  • “What you're doing right now is exactly what you should be doing.” - 이 문장은 현재 수행하는 행동이 미래에 어떻게 연결되는지를 강조하며, 영어로 자신의 생각을 명확히 전달하는 데 유용한 표현입니다.
  • “Keep making the decisions that move you onto that path.” - 이 구문은 행동의 연속성과 목표 설정의 중요성을 언급하며, 미래 지향적인 사고 방식을 고취시킵니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

이 비디오에서 주목할 만한 발음 함정 중 하나는 'astronaut'와 같은 전문 용어입니다. 이 단어는 일반적인 영어 단어와는 다른 발음 패턴을 가집니다. 또한 'enthusiastic'와 같은 긴 단어는 발음이 어렵고, 각 음절을 정확히 발음하는 것이 중요합니다. 이러한 어휘들은 shadowspeaks와 같은 쉐도잉 사이트를 활용하여 연습할 때, 더욱 유창하게 사용할 수 있습니다. 발음 연습을 통해 비디오에서 나온 표현을 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있으며, 이는 궁극적으로 여러분의 말하기 능력을 향상시키는 데 큰 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.
