6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello.
3
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Phil.
5
And I'm Georgie.
6
We all know how important exercise is to stay fit and reduce the risk of heart disease.
7
Do you exercise much, Phil?
8
I try to.
9
I ride my bike at the weekend.
10
But to be honest, I do spend a lot of time sitting down.
11
Hmm, sitting too much is becoming an increasing problem in the modern world.
12
Maybe you take the bus or train to work,
13
then sit at a desk all day,
14
then go home feeling tired and just sit in front of the television all evening as well.
15
Added together, that's hours of sitting every single day.
16
In this programme, we'll be finding out exactly how much sitting is too much.
17
And of course, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary.
18
But first, are you sitting comfortably, Phil? because I have a question for you.
19
On average, how many hours a day do British adults spend sitting down?
20
Is it a 7 hours,
21
b 9 hours or c 12 hours?
22
I'll guess it's 7 hours.
23
OK Phil, I'll reveal the correct answer later.
24
Charlotte Edwardson is a professor of health
25
and behaviour studies who has investigated the link between sitting and health problems in her lab at Leicester University.
26
Here, she talks to BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Health.
27
If we think about our daily activities,
28
a lot of activities are done sitting down.
29
Movement in our everyday lives has really been engineered out with advances in technology
30
and our bodies just weren't designed to sit this much,
31
so it's going to cause problems with our health.
32
So when you sit down,
33
you're not using the largest muscles in your body,
34
so these are the ones in your legs and your bum.
35
So that means that your muscle activity goes down.
36
When your muscle activity goes down, your blood circulation reduces.
37
Throughout history, humans have always walked and moved their bodies.
38
Now, modern technologies like motorised vehicles and office jobs means we spend more and more time sitting.
39
Modern life has engineered out the need for us to move.
40
When you engineer something out,
41
you design things in such a way that it is no longer required.
42
For example, CD drives have been engineered out of laptops because downloads are more popular.
43
Charlotte says humans are not used to sitting this much.
44
Here, the words this much mean in such large amounts.
45
It's a negative thing – one negative being the harm to
46
blood circulation – the flow of blood through the heart and blood vessels,
47
which carries oxygen around the body.
48
When we sit, we stop using important muscles.
49
This reduces blood circulation and causes a range of other effects,
50
like increased levels of glucose and fat and decreased energy levels.
51
The body uses 20% more energy when simply standing than when sitting down,
52
and walking uses 92% more energy.
53
And that's not to mention the damage sitting too much causes to muscle movement and blood pressure.
54
But the hard truth is that sitting is a big part of modern life.
55
Everything is geared around sitting.
56
It's organised towards that particular activity.
57
And that makes it hard to stop.
58
Here's Professor Edwardson again, talking with James Gallagher,
59
presenter of BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Health.
60
How much do you feel like you're just swimming against the tide with all of this?
61
Like the whole of society is like driving us more and more towards,
62
you know, sitting down all the time.
63
And you're like, please don't.
64
Sitting is so much part of our everyday activities.
65
You know, you go into a meeting and someone's like,
66
come and take a seat.
67
You go into your GP surgery,
68
come and take a seat.
69
Everything's geared around sitting and as technology advances and it tries to make our life easier,
70
it then leads to us sitting even more.
71
James asks if Charlotte is swimming against the tide of modern life.
72
If you're swimming against the tide,
73
you're doing the opposite of what most people are doing.
74
He also says that society is driving us towards sitting more.
75
To drive someone towards something means pushing them to accept a new situation,
76
even when the situation isn't so good.
77
Luckily, there's some simple advice to help.
78
Break up periods of sitting 30 minutes or more with a few minutes of walking or moving your arms.
79
Also, try to spend less than half of your waking hours sitting down.
80
Good to know.
81
Now, about your question, Georgie.
82
Right.
83
My question was how long does the average British adult spend sitting each day?
84
Phil guessed it was seven hours,
85
which was close, but not right, I'm afraid.
86
In fact, on average, we spend nine hours per day sitting down.
87
That's about 60% of our waking life.
88
So remember to take regular breaks,
89
even just a minute or two.
90
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt,
91
starting with to engineer something out,
92
meaning to design or plan in such a way that something is no longer needed.
93
The phrase this much or so much means in such large amounts.
94
Blood circulation is the movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels which carries oxygen around the body.
95
If things are geared around a certain activity or purpose,
96
they're organised to support it.
97
The idiom to swim against the tide means to not follow what most people are doing.
98
And finally, to drive someone towards a new situation means to push them towards accepting it.
99
Once again, our six minutes are up.
100
Remember to join us again next time for more topical discussion and useful vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.
101
Goodbye for now!
102
Bye!

맥락 및 배경

이번 영상에서는 현대 사회에서 좌식 생활이 건강에 미치는 영향에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 진행자인 필과 조지는 앉아 있는 시간이 얼마나 건강에 해롭고, 사람들이 얼마나 많은 시간을 앉아 보내는지에 대해 대화합니다. 학계 전문가인 샬럿 에드워드슨 교수는 좌식 생활과 건강 문제의 연관성을 연구했으며, 이 연구는 우리가 앉아있는 시간이 얼마나 많은 문제를 야기할 수 있는지를 보여줍니다. 이러한 논의는 많은 사람들이 수동적인 생활을 하면서 겪는 건강 문제를 이해하는 데 중요한 맥락을 제공합니다.

일상 대화를 위한 5가지 핵심 구문

  • It's becoming an increasing problem. - 이는 점점 더 심각한 문제가 되고 있습니다.
  • We spend more and more time sitting. - 우리는 점점 더 많은 시간을 앉아 보냅니다.
  • Humans have always walked and moved their bodies. - 인류는 항상 걷고 움직여 왔습니다.
  • When your muscle activity goes down, your blood circulation reduces. - 근육 활동이 줄어들면 혈액 순환이 감소합니다.
  • It's important to use our largest muscles. - 우리의 가장 큰 근육을 사용하는 것이 중요합니다.

단계별 섀도잉 가이드

이번 영상을 통해 섀도잉 연습을 하실 수 있습니다. 섀도잉은 shadowing site나 shadow speech 연습에 매우 효과적입니다. 아래 단계를 따라해 보세요:

  1. 영상을 먼저 시청하세요: 영상의 내용을 이해하기 위해 한 번 전체를 시청합니다.
  2. 짧은 구문으로 나누기: 대화 중 중요한 구문들을 나누어 보세요. 예를 들어, "We spend more and more time sitting." 같은 구문을 선택합니다.
  3. 따라 말하기: 구문을 반복하면서 자신의 목소리로 따라서 말해보세요. 처음에는 느리게, 나중에는 자연스러운 속도로 진행합니다.
  4. 반복 연습: 같은 절차를 여러 번 반복하며 발음과 억양에 집중합니다. 이를 통해 IELTS 스피킹 같은 시험에서도 도움이 될 것입니다.
  5. 피드백 받기: 녹음한 자신의 음성을 들어보고, 필요한 부분을 수정하면서 계속 연습하세요.

일상 영어 대화 능력을 향상시키기 위해 이러한 연습 방법을 활용하세요. 유튜브 영어 공부에 매우 유용합니다!

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.
