Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Rob.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
In this programme, we're talking about money.
6
And Beth, as the old saying goes, money makes the world go round.
7
You mean it's very important and lots of things couldn't happen without it.
8
Well, we all need money.
9
But have you noticed how our money doesn't seem to buy so much these days?
10
Yes, I have, Beth.
11
It seems like consumers, like us, are being hit in the pocket at the moment.
12
And by that, I mean we have less money to spend.
13
Now, I'm no economist, but I know this has a lot to do with inflation – the increase in prices of things over time.
14
It's a big problem globally and Beth, my question for you is about inflation.
15
According to one report, what was the annual inflation rate in Venezuela between November 2017 and 2018?
16
Was it a 130% b 1,300% or c 1,300,000%?
17
I'll say b 1,300%.
18
OK, we'll find out if you're right later on.
19
But let's talk more about money and inflation now.
20
Around the world, prices of things are rising more than normal and more worrying is that prices keep going up.
21
Two things in particular are increasing in price – energy, like gas and electricity, and food.
22
These are things we need and depend on.
23
So what's causing the rises?
24
There seem to be two main reasons – the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which has reduced the supply in things we need.
25
And when things are in short supply, available in limited quantities, prices go up.
26
The BBC World Service programme The Real Story discussed this in much more detail.
27
One expert, economist, writer and broadcaster, Linda Yu, explained how price rises could be around for a while.
28
Even if you take out some of these volatile items like food and energy, the sustained price increases that we've had, it is actually getting passed through into how companies price their goods and services.
29
And that's where it gets extremely worrying because that suggests that even if energy prices, food prices come down, we could have inflation now in the system.
30
And I think that for advanced economies is worrying.
31
For developing countries, that's hugely worrying.
32
Linda Yu used some interesting language there.
33
She talked about food and energy being volatile items.
34
Something that's volatile is unpredictable and can change suddenly.
35
And that's what we've experienced with food and energy prices.
36
Yes, and she said these price increases have been sustained, so continuing at the same level for a long period of time.
37
But Linda Yu says that even if energy and food prices eventually come down, companies will pass on the extra costs they've already faced by charging more for their goods and services.
38
And this could cause inflation – there's that word again.
39
Continuing price rises aren't good for anyone, but especially for people in developing economies – countries which have industry that's less developed and have lower living standards.
40
Another possible consequence of inflation is recession.
41
This economic term describes a situation where a country's production starts going down, people's incomes go down and unemployment goes up.
42
This all sounds like a very bleak economic outlook.
43
So what can be done?
44
Well that's the million dollar question and economists are trying to work it out.
45
Speaking on the Real Story programme, economist Vicky Price gave an overview of how to control inflation.
46
Vicky Price, One of the things that actually is most effective is by slowing down demand.
47
And if you increase interest rates, what you do is you discourage people from borrowing, whether they're individuals or whether they are businesses, and of course the economy starts slowing down.
48
So, she says what is most effective – meaning what works well and gets the best results – is is slowing down demand.
49
Increasing interest rates can do this because people will borrow less money.
50
Interest rates are fees, banks and financial institutions charge you for borrowing money.
51
And if we borrow less money, we buy fewer things, which can reduce inflation.
52
I think it makes sense now.
53
And if you were in Venezuela in 2018, you would really want inflation to go down, wouldn't you?
54
Oh yes.
55
Now earlier I asked you what one report said the inflation rate was there between November 2017 and 2018.
56
And I said a very high 1,300 per cent.
57
Well it was even higher, Beth.
58
According to a study by the opposition-controlled National Assembly, The annual inflation rate reached 1,300,000 per cent in the 12 months to November 2018.
59
This extreme financial situation was known as hyperinflation.
60
That's not good at all.
61
In this programme we have been talking about inflation – that's the increase in prices over time.
62
Other vocabulary we used included the expression, hit in the pocket, which means you have less money to spend.
63
Volatile describes something that is unpredictable and can change suddenly.
64
Something that is sustained continues at the same level for a long period of time.
65
And something that is effective works well and gets the best results.
66
And interest rates are fees banks and financial institutions charge you for borrowing money.
67
Well, we hope you found our brief lesson about the economy useful.
68
Thanks for listening.
69
Goodbye for now.
70
Bye bye.

이 수업에 대해

이번 수업에서는 최근의 가격 상승과 관련된 경제적 요소들에 대해 배웁니다. 특히, 인플레이션이라는 개념과 그 원인에 대해 알아보고, 이를 통해 돈의 가치와 개인의 소비 방식이 어떻게 변화하는지를 탐구합니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 경제 관련 주제를 다루는 영어 듣기 연습을 하며, 실생활에서 자주 쓰이는 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다.

주요 어휘 및 구문

  • 인플레이션 (Inflation) - 시간이 지남에 따라 가격이 증가하는 현상.
  • 소비자 (Consumer) - 상품이나 서비스를 구매하는 사람.
  • 필수품 (Essential goods) - 우리가 꼭 필요한 상품들, 예: 음식, 에너지.
  • 전염병 (Pandemic) - 광범위하게 퍼지는 질병, 현재의 Covid-19 상황을 지칭.
  • 불확실성 (Volatility) - 예측할 수 없고 갑작스럽게 변화하는 상태.
  • 경제침체 (Recession) - 경제 활동의 감소를 의미하며, 생산량과 고용률이 줄어드는 현상.
  • 금리 (Interest rates) - 돈을 빌릴 때 부과되는 비용.

연습 팁

이번 비디오의 속도는 적당하므로, 쉐도잉 연습을 위해 자연스럽게 따라 해보세요. 특히 가격 상승과 관련된 어휘를 반복하여 말하는 것이 유용합니다. shadowspeak 방식을 사용하여, 각 문장을 먼저 듣고, 그 뒤에 따라 하는 방식이 효과적입니다. 처음에는 천천히 따라 하고, 점차 비디오와 같은 속도로 연습해 보세요. 매일 이 비디오를 반복적으로 듣고 IELTS 스피킹 스타일로 질문을 만들어 대답하면서 말하기 실력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 영어 쉐도잉의 효과를 극대화하기 위해, 더 많은 콘텐츠를 활용하여 다양한 주제에 대해 연습하는 것이 좋습니다. 이를 통해 실생활에서도 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 영어 실력을 키울 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.
