English Practice 01

영어 또한 언어이므로, 다른 사람의 언어적 악센트, 사용하는 단어, 문장 구조에 따른 유창함이 각각 다르게 느껴지곤 합니다. 따라서, 한 달 동안 BBC 6 minuites english in BBC podcast를 따라 읽고, 스크립트를 작성하면서 영어문장을 익숙하게 만드는 저만의 공부 방법을 구축해 보고자 합니다.

물론, 모르는 단어, 발음, 악센트 그리고 생소한 문장 구조들이 나오고, 어려울 것으로 보이지만, 한달 뒤의 달라진 모습을 기대하며 시작해 봅니다. 

Topic: Why you need a good night's sleep.

Writing by myself:

Georgia

Hello, this is 6 minutes English in from BBC Learning English. I am Georgia. and we are ready to start Phil?.. Phil.

Phil

Ahm, oh, sorry, Georgia, I am was, um, catching forty winks, you know, getting some eye-shut, dozing, and taking a nap. I was sleeping.

Georgia

Sleeping at work, Phil..? how could you?

Phil

I know, I know, I am sorry.  I did not sleep well last night.

Georgia

I'll forgive you this time, but make sure you go to bed early tonight. Because getting a good night's sleep is incredibly important. For example, do did you know that people who get enough sleep live about five years longer than people who don't?

Phil

Wow, so good night's sleep is can lengthen in your life. In this program, we will be finding out more about the benefits of the sleep, and, as usual, learning some useful new vocabulary as well.

Phil

Hmm, I think we spent about a third of our lives sleeping.

Georiga

Ok, well, overview, I'll reveal the correct answer will be at the end of the program. The question is of why people need to be humans sleep is not easy to answer. in the terms of evolution, the question why would like it make sense to go unconscious  to sleep every night, leaving yourself vulnerable even not to danger? It can only mean that the benefits gained from sleep are huge. here, science journalist, Ginny Smith, explains some of these benefits to BBC radio 4 programme, Inside Science:
