Today, our topic is about the job you do.
5
This is an interesting topic, so I have a lot to share.
6
Firstly, I am currently unemployed because I want to relax after working hard for three years in a high-pressure environment.
7
Currently, I am spending most of my time learning English and studying for my CPA certificate.
8
It will help me find a good job in the future.
9
Now I will tell you about my previous jobs.
10
My major at university was auditing, so after graduating I started my career at Grant Thornton, an auditing company.
11
I loved the working environment there because it was very professional and I made a lot of friends.
12
After that I worked as an an accountant at an aerospace engineering services company.
13
Even though both accounting and auditing require hard work and constantly updating knowledge, the salary is not very high compared to other fields.
14
For example, auditing has a peak season that lasts for three to six months, and you must travel a lot for business, so you can't sleep enough and often eat unhealthy food.
15
On the other hand, accounting is less busy, but it involves a lot of paperwork and report preparation.
16
Moreover, working as an accountant for Vietnamese enterprises often comes with many risks.
17
So why are there so many negative things about the finance field?
18
I still chose these jobs.
19
I chose to work in finance because I love working with numbers and I am an introvert, so I prefer to avoid jobs that require heavy communication, like sales or logistics.
20
Additionally, I like this job because it helps me understand how a business operates and its overall financial health.
21
Therefore, now I am looking for a new job in the future and I will still choose to be an accountant.

¿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.
