6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello.
3
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And I'm Beth.
6
One area of technology which has been in the news a lot recently is robotics – the design and building of robots.
7
Humanoid robots, meaning robots which appear and behave like humans,
8
are being built to help us do everything from washing the dishes to babysitting the kids.
9
But not everyone feels comfortable with the idea of inviting a human-like robot into their home.
10
Neil, how would you feel about living with a robot?
11
I really don't want to live with a robot.
12
I have enough people in my house.
13
With advances in AI, robots are becoming smart enough to develop meaningful relationships with humans.
14
There are reports of people telling their secrets to robot therapists and even falling in love with their robot friend.
15
In this episode, we'll meet a home companion robot called Abby,
16
who's making friends with the elderly residents of Melbourne in Australia.
17
And as usual, we'll learn some useful new vocabulary,
18
all of which you'll find over on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
19
First, I have a question for you, Beth.
20
Because it's important people feel safe around robots,
21
engineers design them to look like the friendly characters seen in animated movies by studios like Pixar and Dreamworks.
22
So, what is the name of Pixar's friendly robot who picks up garbage on an uninhabited planet Earth in the year 2805?
23
Is it a Ros, b Wally or c R2D2?
24
I am pretty certain that the answer is b Wally.
25
Well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
26
For five months during the Covid pandemic,
27
Australian engineer Grace Brown had no human contact.
28
She used this time to build a home companion robot,
29
ABBY, with the idea it would provide companionship to other people suffering loneliness.
30
Now Grace runs her own company,
31
Andromeda, building robots specially designed as company for elderly residents in care homes who don't get many visitors.
32
Here, she explains more about Abby to BBC World Service programme The Conversation.
33
Abby, who's the humanoid robot that we build at Andromeda,
34
people don't expect humanoid robots to have, like, so much personality.
35
She's very, very sassy.
36
She's very inquisitive and curious.
37
And I think when people meet her,
38
they're always kind of taken back by,
39
oh, she's, like, got a mind of her own.
40
When people meet Abby, they are surprised by her sassy personality.
41
The adjective sassy means bold, confident and cheeky.
42
Some people are taken aback,
43
meaning they are shocked or surprised by the things Abby says.
44
She really seems to be interested and to take care of the people she meets.
45
Abby can also express opinions.
46
And Grace says she has a mind of her own,
47
a phrase used when a non-living object,
48
like a robot, seems to be behaving or acting independently of human control.
49
Unlike the unpredictable and violent robots which are sometimes portrayed in sci-fi movies,
50
Abby is much more approachable and friendly, even funny.
51
She can blow bubbles from her hand.
52
Her softer design was a conscious decision by Grace,
53
who wanted children and elderly people to interact with Abby naturally and without fear,
54
as she explained to BBC World Services The Conversation.
55
I originally modelled her off the size of like a young child,
56
so like a six, seven year old child.
57
So she's about 110 centimetres tall.
58
She's got a whole splash of different colours.
59
She's got large, expressive eyes.
60
So I was very much trying to replicate the kind of approachableness
61
and the endearingness of these different Pixar characters that you'd watch in all of these films.
62
Abi looks like a friendly character from a Pixar film.
63
She's the size of a six or seven-year-old child
64
and decorated with a splash of colour – a phrase used
65
when a bit of colour is added to brighten up something which is dull or unexciting.
66
Abby also has large expressive eyes.
67
If you describe something as expressive,
68
you mean it shows what someone thinks or feels.
69
Elderly residents who regularly chat with Abby say the robot companion brings them joy and a sense of community.
70
Ah, well, it is good to hear the positive side of technology,
71
which can still seem a bit strange or frightening.
72
And I would like to see Abi blowing bubbles from her hand.
73
Now, isn't it time you revealed the answer to your question, Neil?
74
I asked you for the name of Pixar's friendly robot who
75
picks up garbage on an uninhabited planet Earth in the year 2805.
76
And I said it was Wally.
77
And you were correct.
78
That is the right answer.
79
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned starting with humanoid,
80
an adjective meaning to have the appearance and behaviour of a human.
81
Someone who is sassy is bold, confident and cheeky.
82
If you are taken aback by something,
83
you are shocked or surprised by it.
84
If you say an object has a mind of its own,
85
you mean that it seems to be acting independent independently, without human control.
86
The phrase a splash of colour is used
87
when a bit of colour is added to brighten something which is dull or unexciting.
88
And finally, the adjective expressive means showing what someone thinks or feels.
89
Once again, our six minutes are up!

맥락 및 배경

이번 에피소드는 BBC Learning English의 '6 Minute English' 시리즈에서 로봇 동반자에 대한 이야기로 시작됩니다. 진행자인 Neil과 Beth는 로봇 기술의 발전과 인간과 비슷한 로봇들이 가정의 일상에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 논의합니다. 이들은 특히 감정적 연결과 사회적 상호작용의 중요성에 대해 이야기하며, 평소에 사람들과의 소통이 부족한 노인들의 외로움을 덜기 위한 로봇의 역할에 주목하고 있습니다.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

해당 비디오는 로봇과의 관계에 대한 흥미진진한 내용으로, 유튜브 영어 공부와 영어 쉐도잉에 적합한 주제입니다. 비디오의 내용을 보다 쉽게 소화하기 위해 shadow speaks 기법을 활용해 보세요. 다음은 단계별 가이드입니다:

  1. 첫 번째 단계: 비디오를 시작하는 처음 1-2분 동안 내용을 들으세요. 주요 아이디어와 주제를 파악합니다.
  2. 두 번째 단계: 첫 번째 단계에서 느꼈던 감정을 바탕으로, 해당 구문들을 다시 들으면서 듣고 따라 말하는 shadow speaking을 시도하세요.
  3. 세 번째 단계: 직접 읽어보며 구문과 발음의 흐름을 연습해보세요. 녹음을 해서 자신의 발음을 들어보는 것도 좋은 방법입니다.
  4. 네 번째 단계: 각 구문마다 자신의 생각을 추가하여 대화를 이어가 보세요. "로봇과 함께 사는 것에 대해 어떻게 느끼는가?" 등에 대해 질문해보면 좋습니다.
  5. 다섯 번째 단계: 각각의 문장을 2-3번 반복 연습하고, 자연스럽게 발음할 수 있을 때까지 계속해보세요. 이를 통해 영어 쉐도잉의 효과를 극대화할 수 있습니다.

이 과정을 통해 여러분은 보다 유창한 영어 말하기 능력을 키울 수 있고, 실생활에서도 이러한 대화를 시도해 볼 수 있게 됩니다. 자주 연습하는 것이 중요하며, shadowspeak 기술을 통해 여러분의 영어 능력을 한 단계 끌어올려 보세요!

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.
