restaurants and other parts of the hospitality industry.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
6
Morning everyone, my name is John.
7
I've worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years, here and all around the world.
8
I've done it all.
9
Washing dishes and cafes, waiting tables, hotel work.
10
I've been better at some of these roles than others, to be honest.
11
But what I've always loved is the incredible variety of workmates I've had over the years.
12
Today, I want to introduce some of the training courses available here at the college.
13
program.
14
This morning there will be short presentations about different hospitality jobs.

16
So, your first presentation is on restaurant service.
17
Another session focuses on kitchen assistants who help the cooks in the kitchen.
18
This is a great way to learning cooking skills.
19
learn.
20
You'd be surprised how many top chefs in expensive restaurants started out as a kitchen assistant.
21
But be warned, kitchen assistants arrive at work first and leave last, so think hard about whether you can cope with the commitment.
22
The session about porters, cleaners, and dishwashers is a popular one.
23
These positions are good for students especially because they require no have to work late into the evening.
24
No surprises there.
25
A porter's role is more important than many people realize
26
because guests' first impression are formed by the staff they meet on arrival.

28
Another popular session looks at the role of the receptionist.
29
This is a key role.
30
You have to deal every part of the hotel.
31
So, having reception work on your CV
32
or resume is often a good way of moving your career forward in the long run.
33

34
Dealing with people from all around the world, you have to already be good at working under a lot of pressure.
35
You can't work out how to do it on the job.
36
For any of these jobs, you'll usually have an interview.
37
So there's also a session on interview skills.
38
Now, frankly, for the less skilled roles, the interview will be pretty quick.
39
But for some of the jobs I've mentioned, the interview is just as important as it is in other types of employment.
40
Basically, the key to coming across well is the same today as it was when I started 20 years ago.
41
And the good thing is, it's not too difficult to develop these skills with a little training and rehearsal.
42
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
43
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
44

45
They'll be held in various classrooms around the college.

47

48
You'll see it at the bottom of your plan.

classrooms.

55
There's a long block of classrooms and you want the one at the eastern end.
56
For the receptionist workshop, turn right out of the hall and go past the office.
57
Then head up north between the two sets of classrooms.
58
You'll come to the first -in room on your left, and it's the classroom directly opposite that.
59
For those of you who are wanting to brush up on your interview skills, there's an interview skills workshop.

| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've worked · I've done · I've been |
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | be warned · are formed · be held |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 16 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I've, you'll, can't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: workshop /ˈwɝk.ʃɑp/, dishwasher /ˈdɪʃˌwɑʃɚ/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: hospitality /ˌhɑ.spɪˈtæl.ə.ti/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/, organizer /ˈɔɹɡənaɪzɚ/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: organizer /ˈɔɹɡənaɪzɚ/, resume /ˈɹɛz.ə.meɪ/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: hospitality /ˌhɑ.spɪˈtæl.ə.ti/, rehearsal /ɹɪˈhɝsl̩/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como classroom, workshop, hospitality.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
