1
Welcome to Spotlight.
2
I’m Adam Navis. And I’m Ruby Jones.
3
Spotlight uses a special  English method of broadcasting.
4
It is easier for people to understand,  no matter where in the world they live.
5
If you could wish for one thing, what would it be?
6
Is there one thing that would make you happy?
7
You may wish for a larger house,  a better job, or a new car.
8
These are all normal things which  people think will bring them happiness.
9
Most people believe that the rule for happiness  is simple: happiness is getting what you want.
10
But you know what? People are wrong.
11
Today's Spotlight is on this  question: what makes people happy?
12
In the end, we will find that people who seem  happy as children are not always happy as adults.
13
Also, people are not that good at  knowing what will make them happy.
14
And finally, we will see how happiness has more  to do with ourselves than with our situation.
15
Some important research began in 1937.
16
It was called the Grant Study.
17
This study involved several  hundred male college students.
18
It followed their lives over the next 70 years.
19
Every few years the men were examined by doctors.
20
They had mental tests and answered  a series of written questions.
21
This information was collected and organized.
22
Today, the men are old, so the  information is being collected together.
23
The results are interesting.
24
People who were happy as children were  not always happy or successful as adults.
25
The study used students from Harvard University.
26
Harvard is one of the United State's top  universities - and one of the most costly.
27
As children, the students had financial security.
28
They attended the best schools.
29
As far as anyone could see, they were on the path  to a good job, a good family, and happy life.
30
But not everyone developed  into a happy, healthy adult.
31
In fact, those who reported the most  happiness as adults often grew up in difficult situations, such as  having a parent who hit them.
32
The study showed that it was not a question  of which men would experience trouble, but how they would react when they did.
33
Everyone experiences trouble.
34
It is often those people who have  learned to deal with trouble when they were children who are best  able to deal with it as adults.
35
Joshua Wolf Shenk is a writer.
36
In the magazine Atlantic Monthly, he wrote  about some of the results of the research:".
37
People learn how to deal with  trouble from the pain of experience.
38
They then use these skills  through their whole lives.
39
For example, compare two men - the study names  them "David Goodhart" and "Carlton Tarrytown." Both men grew up afraid and lonely.
40
Goodhart was raised in a lower-class family.
41
His father drank alcohol, and his mother  was "very tense, afraid, and worried." Tarrytown was raised in a wealthy family.
42
But his father also drank alcohol.
43
His mother was so depressed that Tarrytown  was afraid she would kill herself.
44
Goodhart went on to become a  leader on human rights issues.
45
Goodhart was in the top fifth of  the Grant Study in mental health.
46
However, Tarrytown was in the bottom fifth.
47
He was divorced three times.
48
He drank alcohol and took  drugs to deal with his pain.
49
At age 53, Tarrytown killed himself.
50
Goodhart lived to 70." What was the difference between these two men?
51
Why did one grow into a happy adult  who improved the lives of other people, while the other destroyed himself?
52
In the end, it turns out that happiness  depends less on our situation than we think.
53
There are some things that  we should choose over others.
54
For example, we should prefer to  make more money than to get sick.
55
But we should be careful not to believe that a change in our situation will have a  big effect on our level of happiness.
56
In fact, putting too much  hope in such a change will probably lead to disappointment and unhappiness.
57
There is one area of life that does affect  our happiness: love and relationships.
58
People are not meant to be alone.
59
People are designed to be with other people.
60
It is the same for all of us - no matter  what age, sex, or country of origin.
61
Even people who enjoy time alone need  to spend some time with other people.
62
This is not a new idea.
63
The Bible claims that God  designed people to live together.
64
If we were created to live with  other people, then it makes sense that our happiness comes from other people.
65
It also makes sense that cars, money,  or being famous do not make us happy.
66
So, if you want to live a happy life, make sure you put your time and  energy into the people you care about.
67
Who are the people you most care about?
68
How much time do you spend with them?
69
What choices can you make to improve  your relationships with other people?

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.
