8
Now, the story.
9
Almost one million.
10
That's how many Twitter accounts have been deactivated since Elon Musk bought the social media platform last month.
11
Musk's takeover has been controversial.
12
Some people are worried about his approach to free speech,
13
thousands of staff have lost their jobs,
14
and there are plans to make some users pay a subscription.
15
Many users are moving to an alternative called Mastodon,
16
a free social network platform where posts are called toots.
17
Eugen Rocko, the founder of the platform,
18
tooted on Monday that he thinks the massive increase in users is pretty cool.
19
You've been looking at the headlines, Beth.
20
What is the vocabulary?
21
We have flock, on fire and mammoth.
22
This is News Review from BBC Learning English.
23
Let's take a look at our first headline.
24
This one comes from The National, a Scottish media outlet.
25
Top Scottish Twitter users flock to Mastodon amid Elon Musk's Twitter takeover.
26
OK, so Twitter users in Scotland,
27
as well as many other places in the world, are leaving.
28
And the word that we are looking at in this headline is flock,
29
which is connected to birds, isn't it?
30
Yeah, so flock as a noun is a group of birds.
31
And remember the Twitter logo is a bird and you post tweets.
32
Now, tweets is a word that is the sound a bird makes.
33
Yeah, so the headline writer uses flock because of Twitter's connection to birds.
34
It's used as a verb in the headline,
35
but we can also see it as a noun to refer to a group,
36
so a group of birds, or sheep.
37
So what's the connection to sheep?
38
Well, if you picture a field with one sheep and it moves over here,
39
all of the other sheep follow it.
40
Sheep are famous for following each other.
41
So the headline writer has used this as well to describe all of these people moving from Twitter to Mastodon.
42
They're following each other like sheep.
43
And so there's a nice double meaning in this headline related to birds and sheep.
44
But the word flock, is that one that we use in everyday English?
45
Yeah, we do.
46
So imagine a shop has a sale,
47
then all of the shoppers might flock there because they want to buy something for a good price.
48
Yes, and if your favourite singer or group is going on tour,
49
people will flock to ticket websites to try and get a place at the concert.
50
And also, if we make a good video,
51
people flock to our website to watch it.
52
I hope that happens.
53
Yeah, same.
54
Let's take a look at that again.
55
Time for our next headline.
56
This one is from CNN.
57
With Twitter in chaos, Mastodon is on fire.
58
So the headline says that Twitter is in chaos,
59
lots of people are leaving,
60
they're joining Mastodon, a rival.
61
The expression we're looking at is on fire.
62
Now this sounds a little bit dangerous,
63
Beth, if something is on fire,
64
that's not a good thing.
65
Should I call the fire brigade?
66
No, no, don't call the fire brigade.
67
So this expression, on fire,
68
is used to talk about a good thing,
69
to say that something is amazing or it's doing well.
70
So the headline writer is actually praising Mastodon,
71
because it's so popular at the moment.
72
Yeah, so often in this program we talk about metaphorical language.
73
On fire literally means that something is in flames.
74
That's not the sense here.
75
No. In this headline, and also in informal conversation,
76
we use on fire to say that we're impressed with something.
77
Yeah.
78
And not just social media platforms,
79
we use it more widely.
80
Yes, we do.
81
So we often use it to talk about skills.
82
For example, I watched my friend play football yesterday and she scored three goals.
83
She was on fire.
84
Yeah.
85
And I saw you preparing this script this morning, Beth.
86
You were on fire.
87
Thank you, Neil.
88
I think we're both on fire today.
89
Let's take a look at that again.
90
Time for our next headline, please.
91
This one is from Slate.
92
The headline is asking if Mastodon could become a social media mammoth.
93
And mammoth is the word we're looking at.
94
What is a mammoth?
95
Well, they are extinct animals.
96
They looked a little bit like hairy elephants.
97
They have a big trunk.
98
And they were absolutely enormous.
99
Yes, and so size is the key in this headline.
100
It's asking whether mastodon could become a really big social media platform.
101
Exactly.
102
And mammoth is also related to another very big and extinct animal that also looks like a hairy elephant,
103
a mastodon, and that is the name of this new social media platform.
104
Yeah, so there's a really nice double meaning in the headline, it's quite clever.
105
It links the mammoth to the mastodon,
106
another really big extinct animal,
107
and also the name of this social media platform.
108
We're looking at mammoth though,
109
and as an adjective it can be used to describe really big things.
110
Yes, it can.
111
So, for example, this morning it took me over two hours to get to work.
112
It was a mammoth journey.
113
Yes, and I had a mammoth task at the weekend.
114
I tried to get my kids to clean their bedroom and...
115
took a long, long time.
116
Let's have a look at that again.
117
We've had flock move together in a large group.
118
On fire – impressive, because something is done very well.
119
And mammoth – something very big.
120

121
Thank you for joining us and goodbye.
122
Bye.

이 수업에 대하여

이번 수업에서는 최근 엘론 머스크가 트위터를 인수한 사건으로 인해 발생한 사용자 이탈과 같은 소셜 미디어의 변화에 대해 배웁니다. 뉴스 리뷰를 통해 뉴스 기사에서 흔히 사용되는 어휘와 표현을 학습하게 되며, 이를 통해 여러분의 영어 말하기 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹에서도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있는 단어와 구문을 익히게 됩니다.

주요 어휘 및 구문

  • flock (떼를 지어 이동하다): 사람이나 동물이 무리를 이루는 모습을 나타냅니다.
  • on fire (굉장한, 뜨겁다): 무언가가 유행 중이거나 큰 관심을 받고 있음을 의미합니다.
  • mammoth (거대한): 매우 큰 것을 설명하는 데 사용됩니다.
  • takeover (인수): 기업이나 기관의 소유권을 넘기는 과정을 의미합니다.
  • subscription (가입, 정기 구독): 서비스나 상품을 정기적으로 이용하기 위한 결제 방법입니다.
  • alternative (대안): 기존의 것과는 다른 선택지나 방법을 나타냅니다.
  • toot (소리를 내다): 마스토돈과 같은 플랫폼에서 글을 올리는 것을 유머러스하게 표현한 것입니다.

연습 팁

이번 비디오의 속도와 톤에 맞춰 따라하기 좋은 연습 방법은 shadow speaking입니다. 먼저 비디오를 천천히 보고, 발음과 억양을 분석해보세요. 내용이 조금 빠르게 느껴지더라도 shadowspeak 기법을 사용하여 반복적으로 따라하는 것이 중요합니다. 다음 단계로는 문장을 듣고 따라하며 문장의 리듬과 감정을 의식적으로 재현하도록 해보세요. 이를 통해 shadow speech의 효과를 극대화 할 수 있습니다. 마지막으로, 친구나 다른 학습자와 함께 이 과정에서 배운 어휘를 사용해서 간단한 대화를 나누어 보세요. 그렇게 함으로써 실제 상황에서 회화 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 이렇게 하면 IELTS 스피킹 및 일반 영어 실력 모두 향상시킬 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.
