4

5
them a little thank you and a goodbye present before we
6
head to work today the sun is shining yeah summer
7
is here and that's why i feel such positive feelings and like positive energy today because you know me
8
finishing this four month rotation at the gp practice just shows that to me it indicates that i'm almost done
9
with my two-year training as a doctor and i am one step closer to having my location freedom and time freedom
10
that i've been craving in this last almost two years of training it feels like you know time will
11
never pass and I will never finish my training I will never finish these two years but actually I will and I am
12
I can't believe that this is my last drive to the GP.
13
It's crazy and I'm so happy and proud of myself for pushing through.
14
Oh my god, I made myself emotional.
15
That's so funny.
16
But there's so many cards.
17
Okay, I'm trying to pick a card that says thank you on it.
18
Okay, there is something that I see.
19
Thanks a lot.
20
Thanks a lot, Rachel.
21
Thanks a lot, you idiot.
22
Thanks a lot, Rachel.
23
Thanks a lot.
24
That's so funny.
25
If you know, you know.
26
okay you know what i'm not going to waste so much time on this because i still need to think of what i'm going to put in this card i don't think
27
it's going to be very heartfelt like i'm just writing a card to the place and to my colleagues that i worked with so i don't think it's that deep just pick one please.
28
This is actually kind of cute and I think it would fit with the aesthetic of the GP that I'm working in because everyone in the GP practice that I'm working in are women.
29
All the workers, all my colleagues are women except the pharmacist but you know it's a women run family practice for that reason I think they would appreciate some flowers.
30
What about this?
31
Danish pots and cookies.
32
Payments accepted.
33
I'm in my last clinic room ever.
34
I want to write the card and put the biscuits before we start the working hours.
35
It's currently 8.27.
36
No, I don't think I have a pen here.
37
I need to get it from the reception.
38
I'll just borrow a pen.
39
I'll bring it back.
40
In the end, I got them a little card and a tin of biscuits, which is a very British thing actually.
41
Everyone here during their breaks eat biscuits with a cup of tea.
42
Do you like a cup of tea?
43
Yeah, sure.
44
Keep going, have a cup of tea.
45
I thought it was fitting.
46
Let's put these upstairs in the kitchen area slash break room.
47
I'm trying to hike myself up right now, come on.
48
This is your last day.
49
13 patients to see today.
50
And...
51
no.
52
Okay, I thought they gave me a home visit.
53
Whenever they gave me a home visit, which means seeing the patient in their home, that just takes my whole lunch break and I can't get a chance to have a lunch.
54
And then I get a migraine.
55
I'm glad they didn't give me a home visit on my last day.
56
Yeah, thankfully.
57
Okay, good.
58
13.02.
59
I was like, oh my god, I'm so happy that I don't have a home visit.
60
And then, notification.
61
They gave me a home visit.
62
I just grabbed a quick bite anyway thankfully the patient doesn't live so far I can literally walk there you know it's a lovely day to go for a walk it's sunny it's not that sunny but you know still make the most of life
63
I've successfully finished GP, yay!
64
One of the best things about family medicine or GP is how much teaching and research it involves and I wanted to show you how I created visuals for my research write-up using Gamma Imagine,
65
saving me so much time and probably had some role in impressing my supervisor.
66
So this was my actual research project and I wanted to add a polished chart to present my data.
67
But designing visuals manually is time consuming and when I try to do it, it just never looks that good.
68
So instead, I just told Gamma exactly what I wanted and what my results were and it instantly generated multiple visuals for me to choose from and I could tweak colours, get creative with the style.
69
It's basically your own AI design partner for any visuals you need.
70
and then I just export the image and add it to my research report just like that.
71
Super quick and easy.
72
You can try Gamma Imagine for yourself at gamma.app We're in Oxford!
73
I had a couple of days off before starting my new rotation at the hospital so I wanted a bit of a scenery change thank you have you been here before?
74
you know I haven't true fair enough but maybe they don't know if you have what happened right?
75
I think you'll enjoy it more than wherever you've not been in oh god it's so nice today so sunny
76
Can we get a large cup with pistachio, Dubai and strawberry cheesecake?
77
It's okay.
78
Why should we eat it?
79
If you're not cold you can sit outside.
80
Oh no, it's raining!
81
Oh my god, it's hailing!
82
It's not in my brain!
83
Wow!
84
That's crazy.
85
The Dubai chocolate one is so nice and it's like a huge chunk of chocolate
86
I'm trying to understand what's happening here right now.
87
Yeah So many different things going on at the same time, right?
88
There's so many different shows and I'm trying to understand what's so special about today like is that like a national Like what is going on?
89

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?

The video "My Last Day at Work + Escaping to Oxford" provides a unique context for English learners to engage in speaking practice, especially through the lens of personal experiences. Speaking about significant life events, such as finishing a job or transitioning into a new phase, enhances conversational skills. Using this video for IELTS speaking practice can help learners articulate their thoughts about change and personal milestones, which are common topics in interviews and daily conversations.

Moreover, practicing with real-life scenarios improves fluency and confidence. The speaker's reflections on emotions tied to their last day at work can inspire you to express your feelings and experiences in English, leading to more authentic conversations. Utilizing this video as a shadowing site can help you build a natural flow in your speech while also learning to convey personal stories.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Within the transcript, several key structures and expressions are worth noting:

  • “It feels like...” – This structure is used to express feelings or thoughts about a situation. For instance, “It feels like time will never pass” emphasizes duration and emotional state.
  • “I can’t believe that...” – This expression conveys disbelief about an event or realization. It can be beneficial for learners to use this to share their astonishments or unexpected outcomes.
  • “I'm so happy and proud of myself for...” – This structure allows individuals to express self-appreciation and personal growth. It's fantastic for shadow speech, where you mirror positive affirmations.
  • “I need to...” – This phrase highlights necessity, which can help learners articulate their needs or plans effectively.

By practicing these structures through the shadowing technique, you can improve your English fluency while gaining confidence in using complex sentences.

Common Pronunciation Traps

In the video, several words and phrases may pose pronunciation challenges for English learners:

  • “GP practice” – The abbreviation “GP” (General Practitioner) may confuse non-native speakers. Focus on the vowel sounds and the blending of “G” and “P”.
  • “Thanks a lot” – The speaker uses casual speech, which might be rapid. Pay attention to the linking of words; it should sound smoother when pronounced correctly.
  • “Biscuits” – This word might differ in pronunciation between British and American English, making it important to note the soft “s” sound in the British version.

Listening closely and practicing these pronunciations in context enhances your ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Engaging in shadow speech with this video allows for valuable pronunciation practice that can significantly improve English pronunciation.

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.
