6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
In this episode, we're talking about twins.
6
Non-identical or fraternal twins come from two separate eggs and share half their genes.
7
More uncommon are identical twins who come from a single fertilised egg and share 100% of their genes.
8
As humans, we're fascinated by twins.
9
When people discover that someone's a twin,
10
they start asking all kinds of questions.
11
What question would you ask a twin, Neil?
12
Oh, probably quite an annoying one.
13
Maybe, do you share each other's thoughts?
14
Ooh, I might ask, if one of you is hurt,
15
does the other one feel the pain?
16
Hmm, interesting.
17
Well, some common questions for twins include,
18
do you have psychic powers?
19
Have you ever swapped boyfriends?
20
And do you have the same dreams?
21
But according to Anand Jagatia,
22
who presented a recent episode of BBC World Service's CrowdScience all about twins...
23
If you meet a twin and you ask them one of these questions,
24
don't be surprised if they roll their eyes at you.
25
Ask a twin about psychic powers and they might roll their eyes – a way of showing boredom or irritation.
26
But nevertheless, twins continue to capture our imagination and in this episode we'll be finding out why,
27
using some useful new words and phrases.
28
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary for this episode,
29
along with a quiz and a worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
30
First, I have a question for you, Beth.
31
These days, twins are more common than you might think.
32
In fact, one in every 42 babies is born a twin.
33
But do you know which famous Hollywood star is a twin?
34
Is it a Jennifer Lawrence,
35
b Angelina Jolie or c Scarlett Johansson?
36
Ooh, I don't know.
37
I'm going to guess Scarlett Johansson.
38
Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the programme.
39
Professor Karen Dillon is the author of a book on twins in American literature and a twin herself.
40
Here she discusses the good and bad sides of twinship with Anand Jagatia for BBC World Service programme CrowdScience.
41
being a twin isn't always plain sailing.
42
Yeah, it is nice.
43
There's never that fear because you're going through school together.
44
You're sometimes in the same class together.
45
You're making friends together.
46
So all of those milestones of childhood in some ways are made easier for twins.
47
But then the older you get,
48
the more you realise how much people really think of you as a twin rather than as an individual.
49
Twins go through many childhood milestones together.
50
A milestone is an important stage of development,
51
so a childhood milestone could be something like your first day at school.
52
But being a twin isn't always plain sailing,
53
an idiom meaning easy and problem free.
54
Many twins find it hard to establish their own identity as a separate and unique individual.
55
Our fascination with twins also comes from the age-old nature versus nurture debate.
56
How much of our lives is determined by nature,
57
the genetics we're born with,
58
and how much by nurture,
59
the environment we grow up in?
60
Because twins are so genetically similar,
61
differences differences between them tell scientists a lot.
62
Here's presenter of BBC World Service programme CrowdScience,
63
Anand Jagatia, discussing this with Helena de Bress,
64
a philosopher at Wellesley College, Massachusetts.
65
And that's right, another twin.
66
Yeah, you hear about twins that were separated at birth,
67
grew up in different parts of the world,
68
and they kind of have these eerily similar life courses and you think,
69
gosh, how much choice have I had over the way that my life's turned out?
70
Absolutely, yeah.
71
There's that really famous case of the Jim twins who were reunited at age 39 after being separated at birth
72
and they just had so many similarities.
73
It was crazy.
74
They both married someone called Linda and then divorced her for someone called Betty.
75
They both named their dog Toy.
76
It was like ridiculous.
77
The twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were separated at birth.
78
The phrase separated at birth can be used to describe two people with strong similarities,
79
although in this case the twins were literally separated and adopted by different parents at birth.
80
When the Jims were reunited in the 1970s,
81
everyone was amazed at how similar their lives were.
82
Anand used the adjective eerie,
83
meaning strange in a frightening, mysterious way.
84
And Helena says it was crazy,
85
using crazy to mean strange and fantastic.
86
Yes, I think strange, mysterious and fantastic describe being a twin quite well.
87
OK Neil, it's time to reveal the answer to your question.
88
I asked which Hollywood star is a twin?
89
And you said C.
90
Scarlett Johansson.
91
I did.
92
Which was the right answer.
93
Yay!
94
Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
95
starting with roll your eyes,
96
to move your eyes upwards to show you are bored or annoyed.
97
A milestone is a significant stage in the development of something.
98
The idiom, it's not plain sailing,
99
describes difficult and problematic situations.
100
The phrase separated at birth can describe two people who are unusually similar.
101
It also refers to siblings who were adopted by different parents at birth.
102
And the adjective eerie means strange in a frightening and mysterious way.
103
And finally, if someone says it was crazy,
104
they mean it was strange and fantastic.
105
Once again, our six minutes are up.
106
But remember, you can find worksheets,
107
quizzes and loads more resources to improve your English on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
108
See you there soon, but for now, goodbye.
109
Goodbye.

단계별 섀도잉 가이드

이번 영상의 내용을 효과적으로 이해하고 자신감 있게 영어로 소통하기 위해 단계별 접근 방식으로 섀도잉 연습을 해보세요. 섀도잉은 shadow speech 기술을 활용하여 발음을 교정하고 원어민 스피커들의 억양을 익히는 데 탁월한 방법입니다.

  1. 1단계: 대화 내용을 몇 번 듣고 전체적인 흐름을 파악합니다. 이때, shadowing site에서 제공하는 트랜스크립트를 활용하는 것도 좋습니다.
  2. 2단계: 중요한 문장과 구절을 선택하고, 해당 문장을 반복하여 따라 해봅니다. 특히 쌍둥이에 관한 질문들을 반복하면서 자연스럽게 발음하는 연습을 해보세요.
  3. 3단계: 원어민의 발음과 억양을 세심하게 분석합니다. 문장 간의 리듬과 강세도 함께 고려하세요.
  4. 4단계: 나만의 음성으로 녹음하여 원어민 스피커와 비교해 보세요. 발음이 자연스러운지, 억양이 적절한지 확인해 보세요.
  5. 5단계: 영상을 반복적으로 시청하며 질문과 응답의 인터랙션을 연습해봅니다. 친구와 함께 연습할 수도 있습니다.

이러한 단계적인 접근 방식은 영어 발음 교정뿐만 아니라 쌍둥이에 대한 깊은 이해를 도울 것입니다. 이러한 연습을 통해 자연스럽게 일상적인 대화에서 쌍둥이에 대해 이야기할 수 있는 자신감을 갖게 될 것입니다.

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.
