Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,
2
where learning English is easy and fun.
3
I'm Emily.
4
And I am Paul.
5
It is great to be here with you today, Emily.
6
How are you doing?
7
I am doing great, thank you!
8
I am very excited because today we are talking about something Everyone knows.
9
We are talking about the daily routine at a new job.
10
Oh, wow.
11
That is a very important topic, Emily.
12
Starting a new job can be a little scary, right?
13
Everything is new?
14
Yes, exactly.
15
You don't know where the coffee machine is,
16
and you don't know anyone's name.
17
It can be quite funny and awkward.
18
Oh, I remember my first day at my last job.
19
I walked into the wrong office and sat at a stranger's desk for 10 minutes.
20
No way.
21
That is hilarious.
22
Did anyone notice?
23
Yes.
24
The owner of the desk came back and just stared at me.
25
I was so embarrassed.
26
I just said, hi, I'm new here.
27
That is actually a great phrase to use.
28
Hi, I'm new here.
29
It's simple, friendly, and explains everything.
30
It really does.
31
People are usually very nice when they know you are new.
32
They want to help you.
33
So, Paul, what is the first thing you say when you meet your new boss in the morning?
34
Well, I like to keep it polite but friendly.
35
I usually say, Good morning.
36
It is great to be here today, Emily.
37
Perfect.
38
It shows you are happy and ready to work.
39
What about your new co-workers?
40
For co-workers, you can be a bit more casual.
41
You can say, Hi everyone,
42
I'm Paul, the new assistant.
43
Hi everyone is excellent.
44
It's warm and welcomes a conversation.
45
What if you want to ask someone's name again because you forgot?
46
Oh, that happens to me all the time.
47
I just say, I'm sorry, I'm terrible with names.
48
What was your name again?
49
That is so relatable.
50
Everyone forgets names on their first day.
51
It is totally normal.
52
It really is.
53
Now Emily, what about the lunchtime routine?
54
That can be a bit tricky, right?
55
Oh yes.
56
Lunch is the best time to make friends.
57
If you see people going out,
58
you can say, are you going for lunch?
59
Mind if I join you?
60
Wow!
61
Mind if I join you is a beautiful phrase.
62
It is very polite and natural.
63
Yes.
64
And if they say yes,
65
you can sit with them and talk about hobbies or sports.
66
You don't have to talk about work all the time.
67
Exactly.
68
You can ask, so what do you usually do on the weekends?
69
Or do you live near the office?
70
Those are great conversation starters.
71
It helps break the ice.
72
Hmm, what about asking for help with work tasks?
73
That can feel difficult because you don't want to look silly, right?
74
But it is always better to ask.
75
Yes, absolutely.
76
It's much better to ask than to make a mistake.
77
So what can we say?
78
You can say, excuse me,
79
could you help me with this report for a moment?
80
Or could you show me how to use this software?
81
Could you show me is wonderful.
82
People love showing others how smart they are, so they'll gladly help.
83
That is so true.
84
It makes them feel like experts.
85
Now, Paul, let's talk about the office kitchen.
86
There are always unspoken rules in an office kitchen, right?
87
Oh, yes.
88
The golden rule of the office kitchen is never eat someone else's food from the fridge.
89
Yes, that is a major crime.
90
If you want to use the milk, you should ask first.
91
Right.
92
You can say, is this milk for everyone or does it belong to someone?
93
Does it belong to someone is perfect.
94
It is clear and polite.
95
And always wash your own coffee mug.
96
Oh, definitely.
97
Nobody likes a sink full of dirty mugs.
98
You can say, I'll just wash my cup and leave it here.
99
Perfect.
100
It shows you are responsible and clean.
101
These small details really matter at a new job.
102
They really do.
103
Hey, Emily, what about phone calls?
104
Answering the phone for the first time can make people nervous.
105
Oh, totally.
106
Your voice can shake.
107
But there is a standard way to answer.
108
You just say the company name and your name.
109
Yes.
110
For example, Good morning, Mr. English Channel.
111
This is Paul speaking.
112
How can I help you today?
113
Wow, Paul.
114
You sound so professional.
115
This is Paul speaking is the perfect way to introduce yourself on the phone.
116
Thanks.
117
Practice makes perfect.
118
And if you need to put someone on hold, what do you say?
119
You can say, just one moment, please.
120
Let me check that for you.
121
It gives you time to breathe.
122
Just one moment, please, is very calming.
123
It keeps the customer happy while you look for information.
124
Exactly.
125
And if you don't know the answer, don't panic.
126
You can say, I'm not sure,
127
but I can find out for you.
128
Yes, exactly.
129
You don't need to know everything on your first week.
130
Honesty is always the best policy.
131
By the way, Paul, how do you handle the end of the day?
132
When it is 5 p.m.,
133
can you just run out the door?
134
Well, you shouldn't run, but it is good to say goodbye to your team before you leave.
135
Yes.
136
What is a good phrase for that?
137
You can say, I'm leaving for the day.
138
Have a great evening, everyone.
139
Have a great evening, everyone is so warm.
140
It leaves a wonderful impression.
141
It does.
142
Or, if it is Friday,
143
you can say, Have a great weekend.
144
See you on Monday.
145
That is perfect for Fridays.
146

Now, let's get back to our new job situations.
167
What happens if you arrive late on your second day because of traffic?
168
Oh no, that's a nightmare.
169
If that happens, you must apologize immediately and be honest.
170
What is the best way to say that to your boss?
171
You should walk up to them and say,
172
I am so sorry I am late.
173
There was a terrible traffic jam on the highway.
174
I'm so sorry I'm late is direct and polite.
175
And you can add, it won't happen again.
176
Yes, adding it won't happen again shows you take responsibility.
177
It makes your boss feel secure.
178
That is very true.
179
Now, what if a co-worker asks you to do something,
180
but you are already too busy with another task?
181
Ah, the art of saying no politely.
182
That is very important so you don't get stressed out.
183
Exactly.
184
You want to be helpful,
185
but you cannot do everything at once.
186
What can you say?
187
You can say, I would love to help,
188
but I am currently finishing this report for the boss.
189
Can I help you later this afternoon?
190
Wow, that is beautiful.
191
I would love to help, but shows good intentions.
192
And offering a later time is very helpful.
193
Thanks.
194
It's all about balance.
195
You offer a solution instead of just saying a flat no. Let's think about meetings.
196
New employees often sit in meetings and don't say anything because they are afraid.
197
Is that a good idea?
198
It's okay to listen and learn during your first few meetings.
199
You don't have to speak all the time.
200
That is a relief.
201
But what if the boss asks for your opinion directly?
202
If that happens, you can share a simple thought.
203
You can say, I think that's a great idea,
204
especially for the new project.
205
Short and sweet.
206
Or if you don't have an opinion yet, what can you say?
207
You can say, I am still learning about this project,
208
but it sounds very interesting.
209
Oh, I love that.
210
It sounds very interesting, is positive and polite,
211
even if you don't know much yet.
212
Yes, it saves you from an awkward silence.
213
What about clothing, Paul?
214
How do you know what to wear on your first week?
215
It is always better to be a little too formal than too casual.
216
On my first day, I always wear a nice shirt.
217
Yes, if you are not sure,
218
you can look at what others are wearing.
219
You can ask a co-worker,
220
is the dress code usually casual here?
221
Is the dress code usually casual here is a perfect question for your first lunch break.
222
It shows you want to fit in.
223
Exactly.
224
Fitting into the office culture takes time,
225
but asking simple questions makes it much easier.
226
What about taking a sick day?
227
Imagine you get a bad flu on your fourth day of work.
228
That is terrible timing.
229
Oh, that is the worst luck ever.
230
But health comes first.
231
You must send an email or call your manager early in the morning.
232
What should the email say?
233
You can write, Good morning.
234
Unfortunately, I am feeling very unwell today and cannot come to the office.
235
I hope to be back tomorrow.
236
Unfortunately, I am feeling very unwell today is very professional.
237
It's much better than saying, I am sick.
238
Yes.
239
Unwell sounds a bit more formal and serious,
240
and always offer to check your emails if you can.
241
Right.
242
You can say, I will check my emails periodically if there is an emergency.
243
Perfect.
244
It shows you still care about the team even when you're staying in bed with chicken soup.
245
Chicken soup solves everything.
246
It really does.
247
Emily, let's talk about the office birthday parties.
248
There's always cake in the break room, right?
249
Oh, I love office cake.
250
When someone has a birthday,
251
everyone gathers in the kitchen.
252
Yes, you should definitely go, even if you're new.
253
You can just sing Happy Birthday and say, Happy Birthday.
254
I hope you have a great day.
255
Yes, it's a wonderful, low-pressure way to chat with people from other departments.
256
You can say, Hi, I'm Emily from Marketing.
257
Nice to meet you.
258
Nice to meet you is the classic phrase that never fails.
259
It works in every situation.
260
It really does.
261
Small talk during cake time is the secret to surviving your first week.
262
What about email signatures, Emily?
263
Do you have any tips for writing a professional email signature at a new job?
264
Oh, yes.
265
Your company usually gives you a template,
266
but it should always include your name,
267
your job title, and your phone number.
268
Right.
269
And how do you end your emails?
270
What is your favorite closing phrase?
271
I like to use best regards or kind regards before my name.
272
They are safe, professional, and polite.
273
Those are excellent.
274
Best regards works for almost every business email.
275
It's It's friendly, but formal enough.
276
What about sincerely?
277
Do people still use that?
278
Sometimes, but sincerely is very formal.
279
It's better for official letters.
280
For daily office emails, best regards is much more natural.
281
That makes sense.
282
We want to sound natural,
283
not like a textbook from 1950.
284
Exactly.
285
No one wants to sound like a robot at work.
286
Let's talk about technical problems.
287
On your first week, your computer or password might not work.
288
Who do you call?
289
You usually need to contact the IT department.
290
You can ask a co-worker,
291
who should I contact for IT support?
292
Who should I contact for is a great structure.
293
You can use it for anything.
294
Who should I contact for office supplies?
295
Yes, exactly.
296
Or who should I contact about my paycheck?
297
Yes, the paycheck is the most important one.
298
You don't want to lose that.
299
Never.
300
When you talk to the IT person,
301
you can say, Hi, my password isn't working.
302
Could you please reset it for me?
303
Simple and direct.
304
Could you please reset it for me?
305
Gets the job done quickly.
306
Now, Emily, what do you think is the biggest mistake a person can make in their first week at a new job?
307
I think the biggest mistake is pretending you know everything and never asking questions.
308
It can cause big problems later.
309
I agree completely.
310
It is much better to be humble and curious.
311
People respect that.
312
Yes.
313
You can say, I want to make sure I do this correctly.
314
Can you double check this for me?
315
Wow.
316
Can you double check this for me is an amazing phrase.
317
It shows you care about quality.
318
Thank you.
319
It really helps Just build trust with your manager and your team.
320
What about coffee breaks?
321
Is it okay to take a break on your first week,
322
or should you work nonstop?
323
Please take a break.
324
Your brain needs it.
325
Walking to the water cooler or kitchen is totally fine.
326
Yes, it is.
327
If you see a co-worker there,
328
you can say, are you having a busy morning?
329
Are you having a busy morning is a classic office question.
330
It opens the door for them to vent a little bit.
331
Yes.
332
People love to talk about how busy they are.
333
It makes them feel important.
334
So true.
335
And you can just listen and say,
336
oh, wow, that sounds intense.
337
Good luck with that.
338
Good luck with that is very supportive.
339
It shows empathy.
340
Now, let's talk about the end of your first week.
341
It is Friday afternoon.
342
You survived.
343
How do you celebrate with your team?
344
Sometimes, teams go out for a drink or a snack after work on Friday.
345
If they invite you, you should absolutely go.
346
Yes, if they invite you,
347
you can say, That sounds great.
348
I would love to come.
349
And if they don't invite you because they forgot you're new,
350
you can ask naturally.
351
You can say, Are you guys doing anything fun after work today?
352
Oh, that is a very clever way to ask without being pushy.
353
Are you guys doing anything fun after work?
354
Exactly.
355
It gives them a chance to say,
356
Hey, we're going to the cafe down the street.

لماذا يجب ممارسة التحدث مع هذا الفيديو؟
تعد ممارسة التحدث من أهم خطوات تعلم الإنجليزية، وخاصة عند البدء في وظيفة جديدة. يتحدث المحاوران في الفيديو عن شعورهم بالخوف والارتباك عند الدخول إلى مكان عمل جديد، وكيف أن التفاعل مع الزملاء والرؤساء يمكن أن يخفف من هذا القلق. من خلال مشاهدة هذا الفيديو، يمكن للمتعلم ممارسة اللغة بشكل مباشر في سياق واقعي، مما يتيح له اكتساب مهارات تواصل فعالة. استخدام عبارات بسيطة مثل "مرحبا، أنا جديد هنا" و"صباح الخير" يساهم في بناء ثقة المتحدث في نفسه، ويعطيه فرصة للتواصل بشكل ودي ومهذب.
القواعد والتعابير في السياق
- "Hi, I’m new here": تعبير مثالي للتعريف بالنفس ونقل شعور الود.
- "Good morning": تحية شائعة تظهر الاحترام والإيجابية في بداية اليوم.
- "I'm sorry, I'm terrible with names": طريقة فعالة للاعتذار عندما تنسى اسم شخص.
هذه التعابير ليست مفيدة فقط، بل تعكس أيضاً طريقة التواصل في البيئات العملية، مما يجعل من المهم تعزيزها في جلسات التعلم الخاصة بك عبر طريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية، وتقنيات مثل shadowspeaks.
مصائد النطق الشائعة
يعاني العديد من المتعلمين من صعوبة في النطق الصحيح لبعض الكلمات أو العبارات. في الفيديو، تظهر بعض العبارات مثل "good morning" و "I’m terrible with names" بتوجُّه مختلف، وقد يواجه البعض صعوبة في نطقها بنغمة صحيحة. يعد العمل على هذه الجمل من خلال shadow speak أداة قوية لتحسين مهارات النطق والتحدث. يُنصح بالتكرار عدة مرات بعد الاستماع إلى الفيديو، مما يساعد في تخفيف المصاعب اللغوية ويمكن المتعلمين من تجاوز الحواجز اللغوية.
لذا، إذا كنت مهتمًا بتعلم الإنجليزية مع يوتيوب، تأكد من تكرار الجمل واستيعاب السياقات، مما سيعزز ثقتك عند التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
