Good morning and welcome to my productive day as an interior designer working in London.
5
I work for a corporate interior design company
6
and I thought today would be a good day to kind of take you along my day since it's quite busy.
7
I go to the office four times a week
8
and I work from home once a week and I usually wake up around like 7 but I go to like,
9
I try and go to the gym or like a workout class twice a week
10
so today was one of those days that I went to bar class and I woke up at 6.
11
So I have a few meetings today
12
and I am super super busy as we have some deadline for the project
13
so we're currently so hard working on that project.
14
I find it like
15
when I go to the gym in the morning my day just spans out
16
so productively so like I try and go a few times a week and it really gives like this energy boost.
17
I also noticed that every time I do like this work day vlog, it's always like raining and it's super annoying.
18
Like it's still like end of August.
19
It's supposed to be really, really like warm.
20
But this year, like I feel like English summer has been so shit.
21
I'm sorry, I'm swearing.
22
It's been so bad and I just didn't feel like I had a summer.
23
Anyway, we have a busy date to go.
24
Good morning Adam.
25
How are you doing?
26
Not too bad, friends.
27
How are you?
28
Yeah, good, thanks.
29
So, for the reception back wall,
30
update or if we presented what was on Procore.
31
But they don't really last long.
32
I've been told a few times.
33
They were looking for a white background.
34
Originally it was like a paint and they just, they're not going to put artwork anymore
35
but they also didn't want the whole long elevation to be cladded in timber because then it's a series of timber.
36
And they were like, could we break that down into some different materials?
37
I'm
38
going to go
39
ahead and get started.
40
I'm going
41
to go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.
42
It's not even green.
43
Yeah, I mean this could go nicely.
44
Just lose the red pad now.
45
It's not my favorite.
46
So I just got back home about 30 minutes ago.
47
I got changed to my confies, my t-shirt and a pajama bottom.
48
I did feel like I had a really really busy day and I feel so tired.
49
The thing with going to the gym in the morning
50
and waking up at 6am is like really good for your like day productivity.
51
But I must say it does make me feel a little tired.
52
Um, so I honestly can't wait to relax
53
and I'm just waiting for my boyfriend to come home so we can cook Dinner together.
54
I did want it to go through everything
55
that I've spent today I don't know I thought it would
56
be fun to share with you guys like how much is like to day-to-day life spending in London If you lived here,
57
obviously when I go to work like the spending would differ like depending on
58
if I bring my lunch lunch etc. But today overall I've spent £7.40 for transport.
59
It's travelling from zone 3 to zone 1
60
which changes the price according to which zone you're traveling in London
61
but one way is about like £3.40 on peak time
62
and I obviously travel in the morning and then in the evening after work
63
and before work which is the peak so I pay £3.40 per weight
64
so £7.40 in total and I also paid about £11.20 for my lunch
65
but this one will be kind of like spread it into my tomorrow's lunch
66
and maybe potentially the day after
67
so I am dividing my big lunch into like small portions
68
so yeah I would say it's about £11.20 today but yeah
69
if you kind of think about it daily maybe it's like £4, £5 and then I also got some coffee in the morning
70
and then between my lunch break but I do have a Pret subscription
71
which is like 30 pounds a month I'm really sad
72
that now they're stopping this perks of like free coffee like
73
unlimited free coffee for a month was just 30 pounds
74
which was a great deal
75
so yeah it's basically free as many coffee as you like per day
76
so that's what I had from Pret and the nice thing is
77
that I get a breakfast at work and some like snacks and fruit at work as well which I'm super grateful for.
78
So overall I think I've spent about £18.60 which
79
if you think about it like if you spend
80
that much every day it is quite a lot of money
81
but obviously like I said the lunch will be spreaded into like many days
82
so it's not like every day that I spend this much.
83
Obviously I haven't included like my rent and my dinner
84
and stuff like that but i hope you guys found this information a little bit useful
85
if you're thinking about visiting london
86
or moving into london anyway guys i think i'm gonna call
87
a day it's been a really long day for me
88
and i feel a little bit tired
89
so looking forward to rest a little bit thank you
90
so much for watching
91
if you have made it this far um you guys are the most kindest audience um
92
but i will see you guys on my next video see you soon Thank you.

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?

Questo video offre un'ottima opportunità per pratica di conversazione in inglese attraverso l'esperienza quotidiana di un interior designer a Londra. Seguendo la sua giornata frenetica, gli studenti possono immergersi in un contesto lavorativo reale, utile per apprendere vocaboli e frasi quotidiane. Parlando di riunioni, progetti e routine mattutine, il videomaker fornisce un'ottima base per migliorare le proprie abilità di espressione. Utilizzando il metodo dello shadowing in inglese, gli studenti possono ripetere le frasi sentite per affinare la pronuncia e aumentare la fluidità.

Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto

Durante il video, sono utilizzate diverse strutture grammaticali che gli studenti possono analizzare:

  • “I thought today would be a good day”: Questa espressione è un esempio di uso del condizionale, utile per esprimere pensieri e opinioni.
  • “I'm super super busy”: L'uso della ripetizione di “super” enfatizza l'intensità del sentimento, un’ottima tecnica per esprimere emozioni forti.
  • “I find it like when I go to the gym”: Questa costruzione è utile per discutere di esperienze personali e cause-effetti, fondamentale per conversazioni fluide.
  • “We have some deadlines for the project”: Utilizzare il termine “deadlines” in contesto lavorativo è importante per chiunque lavorerà in un ambiente internazionale.

Trappole di Pronuncia Comuni

Nel video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che potrebbero risultare difficili da pronunciare per gli studenti:

  • “Interior designer”: Attenzione alla corretta articolazione delle sillabe, mentre il termine può sembrare semplice, la pronuncia fluida è fondamentale.
  • “Productive” e “project”: Presta attenzione alla pronuncia della “o” e della “u”, che possono facilmente essere confuse in conversazioni veloci.
  • “Waking up at 6”: Il suono “w” e la “k” iniziale possono confondere i parlanti non nativi; esercitati a pronunciarli con chiarezza.

Utilizzando il shadow speech e ripetendo le frasi del video, avrai l'opportunità di allenarti su queste sfide di pronuncia. Ricorda che imparare l'inglese con youtube offre accesso a materiali autentici e variabili, ampliando così le tue capacità linguistiche!

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.
