Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel Coffee with Charles.
2
Now today ladies and gentlemen is a very exciting day.
3
Today we are going to talk about the topic of work and study and I know that some of your students have had problems with this topic.
4
Can you help me?
5
Absolutely.
6
Some of my students get a little bit confused.
7
Take for example the question what do you do?
8
They don't necessarily know how to answer that depending on whether or not they are working or a student.
9
So maybe you could shed some light on the subject.
10
Fantastic.
11
Because they are slightly different answers, yeah, depending on your situation.
12
So if you are working, I would suggest you say, oh, I am currently employed as an English teacher.
13
Then we say, I must confess, I, for me, have a passion for IELTS.
14
That phrase, I must confess, really nice.
15
Then we can say, oh, I feel thankful because my job gives me not only financial freedom, but also a sense of purpose.
16
So that's a really good answer there.
17
If you're talking as a student, it's slightly different.
18
For a student, I'd say, oh, I'm currently studying at, let's say, the University of Economics.
19
My major is in English.
20
The University of Economics or my university is very prestigious.
21
Now, you know the word prestigious?
22
Famous and well-known.
23
And enlightening is a really good word.
24
It means it taught people a lot.
25
However, I have an intense workload with lots of homework and sometimes there is a lack of facilities.
26
So do you see the difference?
27
Yeah, absolutely.
28
I would like to ask you though, what is your dream job?
29
That's a wonderful question and there are so many occupations that I think about doing in the future.
30
English teacher forever?
31
Maybe not forever.
32
Were I given the choice, I would really like to take life by the wheel, take the helm, take control and become an entrepreneur and open a business of my own.
33
Something I can really sink my teeth into and devote all of my time to.
34
Maybe a cafe, a restaurant, or a boutique clothes store.
35
Something that I can really put my personal stamp on and make it my own.
36
I can vividly remember you told me once you would love to open a dog cafe.
37
I know it's It's an unusual idea but it's a bit of a passion project.
38
I think a fashionable boutique would be fabulous as well.
39
In Vietnam there are many little boutique shops all over the place but I must confess they're not suitable for me because they don't do my size.
40
Yeah, absolutely.
41
Vietnamese people do tend to have a slightly smaller frame and you are big.
42
Put very eloquently there.
43
Thank you very much.
44
That's another thing that makes me laugh in Vietnam.
45
If you describe somebody as big in English, it generally means that they're a little bit fat.
46
But I know that you meant muscular.
47
Of course.
48
With a body to die for.
49
By all means.
50
By all means.
51
Moving back to the topic of work, it's a very important one that comes up regularly.
52
I think you will agree.
53
So guys, I hope you enjoyed that little discussion about work there.
54
It's a very important topic that we must reflect on a lot.
55
And one of the most common questions that they will ask students is the question, what do you do?
56
So please be prepared for that.
57
Re-listen to my answer because it's different if you are working or if you are studying.
58
Please try to use the more advanced vocabulary that we taught.
59
Think about why you love your job or why you love your studies and have an almost pre-prepared idea about how to answer this question.
60
As always guys, thank you very much for watching Coffee with Charles.

  • Start by listening to a segment of the video, focusing on the speaker's intonation and pacing. Since the conversation is lively, pay attention to how they emphasize certain words like "thankful" and "passion." This will help you improve your english pronunciation.
  • Use a shadowing app to replay parts of the conversation where the speaker discusses job roles or studying. Repeat the phrases right after they are spoken, mimicking the rhythm and emotion of the speaker.

By engaging in this focused practice, you will strengthen your speaking abilities and broaden your vocabulary, making you better equipped for both casual conversations and formal interviews.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
