Creazione lezione...
1
What's up guys?
2
My name is Jonathan.
3
I'm a software engineering intern here at Google.
4
And this is kind of what the typical day of my life looks like.
5
- Pa, pa, pa.
6
Oh, no. I usually get to the office kind of late, around 10am each day, but I'm not slacking, it's because I get off work pretty late too.
7
In the morning, I usually take care of admin work, like responding to emails and chats and scheduling meetings as fast as possible.
8
Then I try to jump into a little bit of coding if I can.
9
I'll grab a bit of a snack and get back to work.
10
Each floor has a micro kitchen that's pretty stacked.
11
It has a variety of different snacks and also drinks.
12
and as well as like coffee and tea.
13
This summer I'm on the Borglet team, which basically means I'm doing internal infrastructure work for Google.
14
Google's internal jobs run on millions of machines across their data centers,
15
and our job is to write the code that runs on each of those machines to handle all of Google's complex workloads.
16
It's really challenging, complicated, complex, work.
17
This is my first time doing infrastructure work and it's been pretty hard
18
but honestly really really fun and rewarding when things actually work.
19
Around noon, I'll grab lunch with my team or with my intern friends at one of the various cafes.
20
They have like 20.
21
And the food at Google is actually really good, especially Sunnyvale.
22
Today was one of the worst days,
23
I'll be honest, but And after lunch,
24
I'm not really a coffee person, but I usually grab a little caffeine fix from one of the cafes to keep me going through the afternoon, through the afternoon slump.
25
It tastes like banana chocolate.
26
Can you see me?
27
Yeah.
28
It's pretty good.
29
Little fourths.
30
Little thirds.
31
Sorry, little thirds.
32
One, two, three.
33
In the afternoon, I usually hit a long work session where I'll write a bunch of code and write some design docs.
34
Yeah, just the meat of my work happens in the afternoon.
35
And the way that Google internships work is that each intern usually has one or two projects that they complete of the summer.
36
Each intern also is assigned a host and a co -host, which are pretty much your mentors during the internship.
37
I got lucky and I sit right next to my host
38
and co -hosts and I'm able to ask them for help a lot of the times and they're really chill.
39
There's a midpoint presentation in the middle and a final presentation to a big audience at the end of the internship.
40
Beautiful here at Google, they're really insane.
41
And the for preparing for my midterm or my midpoint.
42
presentation So every intern has to give a midpoint and a final presentation.
43
on their project so I'm preparing for my midpoint presentation coming up soon.
44
Just going over some slides that we made for it.
45
Google also has a ton of amenities for employees.
46
There's a massage chair.
47
My body.
48
Okay.
49
Yo, let's massage me, bruh.
50
Yeah, there's massage chairs.
51
There should be like one or two on every floor as well as a nap pod.
52
That's kind of the cool amenities that Google has for employees.
53
games in, like pool, there's like an arcade over there.
54
I work at the Sunnyvale office, which is their second largest office in terms of headcount, and the campus is beautiful.
55
Sometimes I take a break to walk around the campus while no one is around and it's really pretty.
56
Garden is really pretty, there's like flowers and stuff, there's a community garden, Just so pretty up here It's like a mini park.
57
on top of the parking structure.
58
Usually finish work around 6 :00 or 6 :30 and I'll hit the gym.
59
I didn't film it because it's not allowed but
60
basketball court because how could I not even though I'm kind of trash at basketball.
61
But yeah, after that I'm usually pretty exhausted from the day's work plus exercising
62
so I'll finally head home and get rest for the next day.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, imparerai come ottimizzare le tue abilità di speaking e di pronuncia in inglese, ispirandoti alla vita quotidiana di un tirocinante in ingegneria software. Utilizzeremo il transcript di un video YouTube per identificare vocaboli e frasi chiave che possono aiutarti a migliorare la pronuncia inglese. Imparerai anche tecniche di shadowing, un metodo efficace per familiarizzare con la lingua e migliorare la fluidità nel parlato.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • intern: tirocinante
  • admin work: lavoro amministrativo
  • coding: programmazione
  • micro kitchen: cucina interna
  • infrastructure: infrastruttura
  • caffeine fix: carica di caffeina
  • presentation: presentazione
  • mentors: mentori

Consigli per la pratica

Per migliorare la tua pronuncia in inglese, ti consigliamo di shadow speak con il video. Inizia riproducendo il video a una velocità normale e segui il ritornello del discorso mentre ascolti. Se necessario, rallenta il video per comprendere meglio la pronuncia delle parole. Presta attenzione all'intonazione e al ritmo del parlato. Ti suggeriamo di:

  • Ripetere frasi chiave come "I'm a software engineering intern" e "I usually get to the office kind of late" per allenare la tua articolazione.
  • Praticare il vocabolo "caffeine fix" in diverse frasi per sentirne l'uso in contesti vari.
  • Utilizzare frasi quotidiane, come "grab lunch with my team," per imparare a costruire conversazioni naturali.

Ricorda che imparare l'inglese con YouTube è un modo divertente e coinvolgente per affinare le tue skill. La pratica del shadowing in inglese ti allegherà a un’idea di comunicazione più fluida e naturale, permettendoti di integrarti meglio in conversazioni reali.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
