The bus was quiet.
67
People were reading, listening to music, or just looking out the window.
68
I looked out too, but I wasn't really seeing anything.
69
My mind was busy.
70
I was thinking about the office, the people, the new things I had to learn.
71
The streets were still a little dark, but the city was waking up.
72
Shops were opening, lights were turning on, and more people were coming outside.
73
I looked at them and thought, maybe they're going to work too.

As the bus moved through the city,
75
I tried to remember what I read about my company.

It was a short ride,
82
maybe twenty minutes, but it felt long Finally,

I heard the name of my stop The bus slowed down, I stood up, held the rail,
84
and waited for the doors to open This is it,
85
I said to myself I stepped off the bus and looked around.

Tall buildings, many people walking fast, and so much noise.
87
I checked the address on my phone, looked around, and saw it.

My new office building.

I took one more deep breath and started walking toward the door.

I stood in front of the building for a few seconds.
91
It was tall and modern, with big glass windows.
92
People were walking in and out quickly.

Everyone looked busy.

I took a deep breath and walked inside.

The lobby was bright and clean.

My hands were sweating.

I took another deep.. breath, and tried to stay calm.
111
When I got to the fifth floor, the doors opened to a bright hallway.
112
There was a receptionist sitting at a desk.
113
She looked up and smiled.
114
Hi there!
115
Can I help you?
116
Yes, I'm Emma.
117
Today is my first day.
118
Oh, welcome, Emma.
119
We've been expecting you.
120
Thank you.
121
I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited, too.
122
Don't worry.
123
That's normal.
124
Everyone feels that way on their first day.
125

126
I'll take you to meet your manager.
127
She'll help you get started.
128
Great.
129
Thank you so much.
130
You're welcome, Emma.
131
Come with me.
132
You'll be fine.
133
We walked through the office together.
134
We stopped at a small office.
135
A woman stood up and walked toward me.
136
Hi, Emma.
137
I'm Sarah, your manager.
138
It's so nice to meet you." "'Nice to meet you, too,' I said, trying to sound confident.
139
Sarah showed me to my desk.
140
It was simple—a computer, a chair, and some papers.
141
"'This is your spot,' she said.
142
You can put your things here." I sat down slowly.
143
I looked around at my new workspace and the people nearby.
144
Everything felt big and a little scary.
145
But Sarah smiled and said, Don't worry, we'll go step by step.
146
And in that moment, I felt a little better.
147
I was in.
148
My first job.
149
My first office.
150
And the day had only just begun.
151
Sarah gave me a short tour of the office.
152
She showed me where the kitchen was, the bathrooms, the meeting rooms,
153
and even the emergency exit.
154
Everything looked clean and organized.
155
People were sitting at their desks, typing, talking on the phone, or reading papers.
156
After the tour, we returned to my desk.
157
Sarah said, Okay Emma, let's start with something easy.
158
That made me feel better.
159
She gave me a folder and said, These are new client forms forms.
160
We need them typed into the system.
161
She showed me how to log in, where to find the forms on the computer,
162
and how to enter the information.
163
She even did the first one with me.
164
Then she smiled and said, now it's your turn.
165
My hands were shaking a little.
166
I opened the first form and started typing.
167
Slowly, carefully, I checked every word.
168
I didn't want to make a mistake.
169
I typed the client's name, phone number, email address, and notes.
170
Then I clicked save.
171
Done.
172
One down, many more to go.
173
I looked at Sarah.
174
She gave me a thumbs up.
175
Great job, she said.
176
I smiled.
177
That small moment made me feel more confident.
178
I continued typing.
179
After about 30 minutes, Sarah came back.
180
She said, How is it going?
181
Good, I said.
182
I've finished six forms.
183
Wow, that's great.
184
Keep going and let me know if you need help.
185
For a while, I worked quietly.
186
I heard people talking around me, but I didn't join in.
187
I just focused on the forms.
188
But then I made a mistake.
189
I typed the wrong phone number and clicked save before checking.
190
Oh no, I whispered.
191
I didn't know what to do.
192
Should I tell Sarah?
193
Would she be angry?
194
I took a deep breath and stood up.
195
I walked to her desk and said, I'm sorry.
196
I made a mistake on one of the forms.
197
I saved the wrong phone number.
198
She looked at me and said, That's okay, Emma.
199
Mistakes happen.
200
Let me show you how to fix it.
201
She walked with me back to my desk and showed me how to edit the entry.
202
It was easy.
203
I fixed the mistake in less than a minute.
204
See, she said, you asked for help and now it's done.
205
I smiled again.
206
I felt proud.
207
Not because I was perfect, but because I asked for help,
208
and I learned something new.
209
Later that morning, a co -worker walked by and said,
210
Hey, new girl, you're doing great.
211
I laughed a little and said, Thank you.
212
Another person brought me a cup of water and said, It's your first day, right?
213
You've got this.
214
That small kindness made my day even better.
215
By noon, I had entered 20 forms.
216
I looked at the clock and realized the whole morning had passed.
217
I felt tired, but also happy.
218
I was working.
219
I was learning.
220
I was part of something.
221
And I was doing okay.
222
At noon, Sarah came to my desk and said, Time for lunch, Emma.
223
You can take a break now.
224
I looked at the time and smiled.
225
I had worked for four hours without even noticing.
226
I stood up, stretched a little, and grabbed my lunch from my bag.
227
I wasn't sure where to go, but I remembered the kitchen Sarah showed me earlier.
228
I walked there slowly, not knowing what to expect.
229
When I entered, a few people were already there, eating, chatting, laughing softly.
230
I sat at an empty table and opened my lunchbox.
231
I had packed a sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water.
232
Simple, but enough.
233
Just as I took my first bite, someone walked over to me.
234
Hi, you're new, right?
235
She said.
236
I looked up and smiled.
237
Yes, I'm Emma.
238
Today is my first day.
239
She smiled back.
240
Nice to meet you, Emma.
241
I'm Lisa.
242
I work in marketing.
243
Can I sit here?
244
Of course, I said.
245
Happy to not eat alone.
246
We started talking.
247
Lisa asked me where I lived, what I studied, and what department I was in.
248
I answered slowly, trying to be clear.
249
She spoke clearly too, which helped a lot.
250
Talking with her made me feel more relaxed It was nice
251
to speak with someone my age She even made a joke
252
about getting lost on her first day Just like I almost did During lunch,
253
we talked about music, favorite foods kids, and what people usually do after work.
254
Lisa said, Sometimes we go for coffee after work.
255
You should come one day.
256
I nodded.
257
That sounds fun.
258
Before I left, Lisa said, If you ever need anything, just ask me.
259
The afternoon went by faster than I expected.
260
After lunch, Sarah gave me a few more tasks.
261
I had to print documents,
262
organize folders, and send my first work email.
263
She helped me write the email.
264
It was simple, but I felt proud when I clicked send.
265
My first real email at work.
266
As the hours passed, I started to feel more comfortable.
267
I wasn't so nervous anymore more.
268
I began to remember some names.
269
Lisa, John, Sarah, and a few others.
270
I even said hi to a few people on my own.
271
That small step felt big to me.
272
When the clock showed 5 p .m., people started packing up.
273
Computers turned off, chairs moved, and bags zipped.
274
The office became quiet again.
275
I packed my things and stood up.
276
Lisa waved at me from her desk and said, See you tomorrow.
277
I replied, See you, feeling like I truly belonged there.
278
As I walked out of the building, the sun was lower in the sky.
279
The streets were full again.
280
People going home, meeting friends, or shopping.
281
But I wasn't just another face in the crowd anymore.
282
I was an office worker.
283
I had finished my first day." So that was my first day at work.
284
It wasn't perfect.
285
I made mistakes.
286
I felt nervous.
287
But I also learned a lot, met kind people, and took the first step in something new.
288
and that's what really matters.
289
If you're learning English, I hope my story helped you practice listening and learn some useful words and phrases.
290
Real English comes from real stories, and this one was mine.
291
I believe that learning English should feel personal and fun,
292
And stories like this make learning easier, more natural, and more real.
293

294
What was your first day at work like?
295
Was it steak and fix it, just like I did?
296

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 47 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, didn't, wasn't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: breathe /bɹiːð/, thumb /ˈθʌm/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: wash /wɑʃ/, impression /ɪmˈpɹɛʃn̩/, shake /ˈʃeɪk/, tissue /ˈtɪʃ.(j)u/, brush /bɹʌʃ/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: elevator /ˈɛləˌveɪtɚ/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/

- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, pants /pænts/, fancy /ˈfæn.si/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie desk, breathe, clock.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
