Welcome to today's lesson.

In this video we have two parts.

In part one, you will listen to a natural conversation based on Mia's life.

In part two, you will learn some useful phrases from the conversation.

Then you will practice shadowing.

Let's begin.

Emma!

Guess what?

I've been shortlisted for an interview!

That's amazing!

Congratulations!

Thanks.

I really want to make a good impression, but I'm nervous.

I don't know what to say.

That's completely normal.

You've got this.

Don't worry, Mia.

As long as you say the right things, you'll be fine.

Hmm?

Right things like what?

You need to sell yourself.

Show them why you're the right person for the job.

Okay, that makes sense.

Also, be confident, not arrogant.

There's a difference.

Yeah, I don't want to sound too full of myself.

Exactly, and always give examples when you answer questions.

Examples.

Yes, like this.

You can say a good example that comes to mind and then explain your experience.

And if you want to show your personality,

you can say something like,

I'm particularly proud of, and then talk about something you achieved.

Oh, I like that.

That sounds natural.

Also, simple things matter.

For example, timekeeping is important to me.

Employers love that.

Okay.

That's easy to remember.

Thanks for coming in today, Mia.

Thank you for having me.

It's a pleasure to be here.

So, tell me about yourself.

Sure.

I have experience working with customers and I really enjoy helping people.

I'm a quick learner and a team playler.

A good example that comes to mind is when I helped a customer choose the right product and they left very satisfied.

That's great.

Why do you want this job?

I'm interested in this sales assistant position because I enjoy working with people

and I'd like to develop my skills and contribute to the team.

What are you proud of?

I'm particularly proud of my communication skills.

I can build rapport with customers easily and understand their needs.

What is important to you in a job?

I believe that timekeeping is important to me.

And I always try to be reliable and organized.

That's very good to hear.

Do you have any questions, Mia?

Yes.

Could you tell me more about the team I would be working with? Of course.

You'd be working with a small but friendly sales team.

There are usually four or five sales assistants on the shop floor,

plus a team leader who supports everyone during the day.

The team is quite customer focused,

so you would be helping customers,

answering questions, and keeping the shop organized.

Thank you.

When can I expect to hear back from you about the interview?

We'll get back to you by the end of the week.

Thank you for coming in.

It was a pleasure.

So, how did it go?

It went really well.

I stayed calm, I tried to sell myself, and I gave examples.

See?

I told you!

What kind of questions did they ask?

They asked me to tell them about myself,

and also why I was interested in the role.

Hmm.

Classic questions.

Yeah, but I think I handled them well.

I made sure to highlight my strengths and talk about my experience.

Good!

Did you talk about your skills?

Yes, I mentioned my communication skills and how I can build rapport with customers.

Perfect!

That's exactly what they want to hear.

I also gave a real example when they asked about dealing with a difficult customer.

I tried to demonstrate my problem-solving skills.

That's great.

Employers love that.

And I remembered to show enthusiasm and smile.

I think that helped.

Definitely.

Oh, and I asked them a question at the end.

I wanted to learn more about the team and the role.

100

Huh.

101

Nice!

102

That shows you're really interested.

103

They said they'll get back to me by the end of the week.

104

So now I'm just waiting.

105

You did everything right.

106

I'm sure you'll hear some good news soon.

107

Yeah, I hope so.

108

Fingers crossed.

109

I'd really love to get the job.

110

I've been shortlisted for an interview.

111

I've been shortlisted for an interview.

112

To be shortlisted for an interview means you were chosen from many applicants to go to the interview stage.

113

For example, I applied for the job last week and I have been shortlisted for an interview.

114

Out of many applicants, only a few people were shortlisted for an interview and I was one of them.

115

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

116

Try to copy the rhythm, emotion, and pronunciation.

119

Thanks.

120

I really want to make a good impression, but I'm nervous.

121

I really want to make a good impression, but I'm nervous.

122

To make a good impression means to make people think positively about you when they meet you for the first time.

123

You do this through your behavior,

124

your attitude, and the way you speak and present yourself.

125

For example, I tried to make a good impression in the interview by speaking clearly and staying calm.

126

She smiled, listened carefully, and asked good questions to make a good impression.

127

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

128

If you need more time,

129

you can pause the video.

130

Thanks.

131

I really want to make a good impression, but I'm nervous.

133

That's completely normal.

134

You've got this.

135

That's completely normal.

136

You've got this.

137

You've got this means you can do it and you will succeed.

138

It is something we say to encourage someone and give them confidence.

139

For example, you've got this.

140

Stay calm and do your best in the interview.

141

I know you're nervous, but you've got this.

142

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

143

Try to repeat it as fast as you can.

144

That's completely normal.

145

You've got this.

146

That's completely normal.

147

You've got this.

148

You need to sell yourself.

149

Show them why you're the right person for the job.

150

You need to sell yourself.

151

Show them why you're the right person for the job.

152

To sell yourself means to show your strengths,

153

skills, and experience in a confident and positive way.

154

You explain why you are a good choice and why someone should choose you.

155

For example, in the interview,

156

you need to sell yourself and show what you can do.

157

She sold herself well by talking clearly about her skills and experience.

158

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

159

Ready?

160

Let's go.

161

You need to sell yourself.

162

Show them why you're the right person for the job.

163

You need to sell yourself.

164

Show them why you're the right person for the job.

165

Yeah.

166

I don't want to sound too full of myself.

167

Yeah.

168

I don't want to sound too full of myself.

169

I don't want to sound too full of myself means

170

I don't want to sound arrogant or like I think I'm better than other people.

171

I want to sound confident but still natural and respectful.

172

Now listen carefully.

173

I don't want to becomes I don't wanna.

174

Say it smoothly, not word by word.

175

Try it with me.

176

I don't want to sound too full of myself.

177

For example, in the interview I explained my skills,

178

but I said I didn't want to sound too full of myself.

179

He talked about his achievements,

180

but he didn't want to sound too full of himself.

181

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

182

Ready, steady, go.

183

Yeah, I don't want to sound too full of myself.

184

Yeah, I don't want to sound too full of myself.

185

I believe that timekeeping is important to me.

186

I believe that timekeeping is important to me.

187

I believe that timekeeping is important to me means,

188

I think being on time and managing my time well is very important.

189

It shows that I am reliable,

190

organized, and respectful of other people's time.

191

Now here is an important point.

192

Timekeeping means keeping time well, being organized with time.

193

Being punctual means arriving on time, not late.

194

Here are two examples.

195

I believe that timekeeping is important to me,

196

so I always arrive early for meetings.

197

Being punctual shows that you respect other people's time.

198

Now listen again and repeat the sentence out loud.

199

I believe that timekeeping is important to me.

I believe that timekeeping is important to me.

201

How did it go?

202

It went really well.

203

How did it go?

204

It went really well.

205

How did it go is a very common question in everyday English.

206

People use it after something important,

207

like an interview, a meeting,

208

or a presentation, to ask about your experience or result.

209

In natural spoken English, you will often hear it as, how'd it go?

210

The words connect and become shorter.

211

Listen carefully.

212

How did it go? becomes How'd it go?

213

How'd it go?

214

Here are some natural answers.

215

It didn't go very well.

216

It was okay, not great.

217

It could have gone better.

218

I was a bit nervous, to be honest.

219

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

220

Try to copy the rhythm, emotion, pronunciation.

221

Here is our final phrase.

222

Fingers crossed!

223

It means you hope something will happen or go well,

224

even though you are not sure.

225

It shows that you are wishing for a positive result.

226

For example, I have my interview tomorrow.

227

Fingers crossed.

228

Fingers crossed everything goes well.

229

Now listen again and repeat the sentence.

230

Fingers crossed.

231

I'd really love to get the job.

232

crossed.

233

I'd really love to get the job.

234

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
