6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Georgie and we're ready to start, Phil.
4
Phil?
5
Phil!
6
Sorry Georgie, I was just catching 40 winks,
7
you know, getting some shut-eye, dozing, taking a nap.
8
I was sleeping.
9
Sleeping at work!
10
Phil, how could you?
11
I know, I know.
12
Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night.
13
I'll forgive you this time,
14
but make sure you go to bed early tonight because getting a good night's sleep is incredibly important.
15
For example, did you know that people who get enough sleep live about five years longer than people who don't?
16
Wow.
17
So a good night's sleep can lengthen your life.
18
In this programme, we'll be finding out more about the benefits of sleep and,
19
as usual, learning some useful new vocabulary as well.
20
But first, now that you've woken up,
21
I have a question for you.
22
Do you know how much of the average person's life is spent asleep?
23
Is it a a half, b a quarter, or c a third?
24
Hmm, I think we spend about a third of our lives sleeping.
25
OK, well, I'll reveal the correct answer at the end of the programme.
26
The question of why humans sleep is not easy to answer.
27
In terms of evolution, why would it make sense to go unconscious every night,
28
leaving yourself vulnerable to danger?
29
It can only mean that the benefits gained from sleep are huge.
30
Here, science journalist Ginny Smith explains some of these benefits to BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Science.
31
So we've probably all experienced this,
32
that if you've had a bad night's sleep and then you try and do some work,
33
you just can't concentrate.
34
Your brain isn't in the right state to take in new information.
35
But we also need to sleep after we've learnt new things because that's when our brain consolidates the information,
36
takes it from short-term storage to long-term storage,
37
fits it in with other things we already know.
38
That old adage of if you've got a problem, sleep on it.
39
Your brain does actually work on things during the night
40
and you can often wake up and have solved the problem in your sleep.
41
When we sleep, our brains refresh,
42
leaving us feeling rested in the morning.
43
But after a bad night's sleep,
44
it's more difficult to concentrate.
45
We can't take in or understand new information.
46
We also have the saying,
47
if you've got a problem, sleep on it.
48
To sleep on it means to delay making a decision until you've had time to think about it.
49
But that also turns out to be true scientifically speaking.
50
During sleep your brain really can work out problems and find solutions.
51
But what about the other side of the story?
52
What happens when you get too little sleep, or none at all?
53
Here's Ginny Smith again, talking to BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Science.
54
SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS A FORM OF STRESS,
55
AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN YOU ARE STRESSED,
56
YOUR SORT OF FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE IS ACTIVATED,
57
AND THAT CAUSES ALL THESE CHANGES IN YOUR BODY THAT FOCUS ON IMMEDIATE SURVIVAL OVER LONG-TERM HEALTH.
58
BUT IF WE ARE CHRONICALLY STRESSED,
59
MONEY WORRIES OR A STRESSFUL GIVE,
60
changes in your body that focus on immediate survival over long-term health.
61
But if we are chronically stressed,
62
money worries or a stressful job or something that's going on forever
63
or life or chronic sleep deprivation that's causing that level of stress,
64
then you might constantly have a damped-down immune system which can then lead to all these knock-on problems.
65
Having none or too little of something important is known as deprivation.
66
Sleep deprivation is stressful for the body.
67
so stressful that it activates a fight-or-flight response,
68
changes in the human body in response to a life-threatening situation,
69
which make us either stay and fight the threat,
70
or run away from it.
71
As well as a fight-or-flight response,
72
the stress of not getting enough sleep over a longer period also creates problems,
73
including heart disease and a weakened immune system.
74
Lack of sleep has these knock-on effects.
75
It causes other things to happen, but not directly.
76
Now do you see why it's so important to get a good night's sleep, Phil?
77
Plus, it will stop you sleeping at work again!
78
Right, I think it's time to reveal the answer to my question.
79
Yes, you asked me how much of the average person's life is spent asleep,
80
and I said it was about a third.
81
Which was the correct answer!
82
Assuming you sleep eight hours a day,
83
the average person will sleep for 229,961 hours in their lifetime,
84
or around one third of their life.
85
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
86
starting with the phrases catch 40 winks,
87
get some shut-eye, doze and take a nap – all of which mean to sleep.
88
When someone takes in information, they understand it.
89
If you have a problem and you sleep on it,
90
you delay making a decision until you've had time to think about it.
91
Deprivation is an absence or too little of something important,
92
such as food or sleep.
93
The fight or flight response describes changes in the human body in response to a dangerous situation,
94
which make us either stay and fight the threat,
95
or run away from it.
96
And finally, if something has a knock-on effect,
97
it causes other results indirectly.
98
Once again our six minutes are up,
99
but remember to join us again next time for more trending topics and useful vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.

Goodbye for now.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 수면의 중요성과 그 혜택에 대해 이야기합니다. 일상적인 대화에서 수면의 주제를 다루는 것은 매우 유익하며, 자연스럽게 대화를 이어가는 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 특히, "좋은 잠을 자는 것이 왜 중요한가?"와 같은 질문을 통해 여러분의 의견을 표현하고, 상대방의 생각을 확인하는 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 이렇게 다양한 의견을 주고받는 과정에서 shadow speech를 활용하여 발음을 개선할 수 있습니다. 수면과 관련된 내용을 이야기하며, IELTS 스피킹 시험에서도 유용하게 활용할 수 있는 주제를 다루게 됩니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 주요 구조를 살펴보면:

  • “If you've got a problem, sleep on it.” - 이 표현은 문제를 해결하기 위해 시간을 두고 생각하라는 의미로, 조건문을 통해 부드럽게 조언하는 표현입니다.
  • “Your brain isn't in the right state to take in new information.” - 이 구조는 현재 진행 시제를 사용하여 현재의 상태를 설명합니다. 뇌의 기능에 관한 내용을 설명할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
  • “Sleep deprivation is a form of stress.” - 이 표현은 명사구를 통해 개념을 정의하고 있습니다, '수면 부족'과 같은 중요한 주제를 간결하게 전달하는 좋은 예입니다.

이와 같은 표현들을 shadowspeaks 기법으로 반복 연습하여 자연스러운 표현력을 기를 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 다룬 몇 가지 발음이 어려운 단어들:

  • “Concentrate” - 이 단어는 특히 ‘con’과 ‘cent’ 부분의 발음을 주의해야 합니다. 올바른 발음 연습을 통해 자신 있게 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • “Deprivation” - 이 단어는 여러 음절로 이루어져 있어, 발음에 있어 실수가 발생하기 쉽습니다. 각 음절을 나눠서 연습해보세요.
  • “Immune” - 이 단어의 발음은 영어 학습자에게 혼란을 줄 수 있으니, ‘im-yoon’처럼 발음하는 것이 아니라 ‘i-myun’처럼 발음하는 연습을 해보세요.

이러한 발음 연습을 통해 shadow speak 기법을 활용하여 자연스러운 발음으로 이어갈 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.
