1
New York City is home to over 6,000 high-rise buildings.
2
It's an amazing sight.
3
But have you ever wondered what it's like to build a high-rise in one of the most crowded places in the world?
4
Let's find out from the people working on One Bryant Park.
5
There are several factors that make this work challenging, especially on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue.
6
This location is one of the busiest places in the whole city.
7
The first challenge was digging the building's foundation.
8
It took an entire year for workers to remove 198,000 cubic meters of earth.
9
After the foundation was finished, workers could begin bringing in building materials.
10
Thousands of kilograms are received at the site each day.
11
There is very little room here in the middle of Manhattan, so there is only one option for getting the materials to the workers.
12
Everything has to be lifted up into the tower.
13
About 200 meters above ground, the workers are hard at work.
14
This crane operator is so high up that he can't see what he's lifting.
15
Workers far below him provide careful instructions on what to do.
16
The potential for mistakes is high, so there is no room for error.
17
The biggest job is lifting these huge beams that to form the structure of the building.
18
But first, the beams have to make it there.
19
Getting access to the site is not so easy.
20
Driving a truck this size through city traffic can be a challenge.
21
Trucks start coming in at 5 a.m.
22
And as the day continues, the traffic only gets worse.
23
After the beams arrive, the men work quickly.
24
With a building this size, everything is big.
25
And that always presents a challenge.
26
This is one of five water tanks that will hold the total of 260,000 liters of water.
27
Its size makes it difficult to place.
28
But if you think this looks hard, the greatest challenge is yet to come, the spire.
29
It's so large that it comes in 70 separate pieces.
30
Going into New York City, you basically lose two days.
31
It is true what they say, this is a city that never sleeps and there's always traffic out there to deal with.
32
It gets a little hairy at times, you know, but you have an escort behind you and he kind of blocks it off a little bit.
33
Even though New York is a really big city, the streets aren't the biggest.
34
Each piece must be lifted and put together nearly 300 meters above ground.
35
With its spire, One Bryant Park stands 366 meters high,
36
making it one of New York's tallest buildings.
37
It attracts residents and tourists alike, and forms an important part of the New York City skyline.

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.
