bbclearningenglish.com Hi Beth, how are you today?
7
I'm very good, Neil.
8
How are you?
9
I'm very well.
10
What are we talking about?
11
Today we are talking about work and the office.
12
An office is a place with desks and computers where people do their jobs.
13
OK.
14
We are in a studio in the office,
15
but we'll go back to the office after this.
16
Yes, we will.
17
So, Neil, where do you work?
18
Do you work at home or do you work in the office?
19
Well, I do both of those things.
20
I work in the office usually three days a week,
21
and I work from home two days a week.
22
Okay.
23
I'm the same.
24
We have the same schedule.
25
So, yeah, at home twice where I have a sort of place that could be considered a home office.
26
Do you like working in the office?
27
I do like working in the office.
28
I think it's easy to get work done in the office because it's an office environment.
29
It's a workplace.
30
But I also quite like working from home sometimes because commuting,
31
London is a big city,
32
you know, coming to work and going back is really tiring
33
if you do it every day yeah i know what you mean um i i like working from home
34
occasionally but i definitely prefer being in the office i think being with colleagues around you
35
and i i need people and then i can work better yeah
36
so what's wrong with working from home ah Oh, a lot.
37
I think when you're in the office,
38
yeah, it's louder than at home,
39
but I like having the people around me.
40
I like being able to have conversations.
41
I find it's easier to work in an office environment because everyone else is working.
42
But I feel more lonely at home because it's just me.
43
So, yeah.
44
Yeah, I understand what you mean.
45
I also have a bit of a problem with working from home,
46
because the boundary, or the line between work and home,
47
is not so clear.
48
So when you finish your day,
49
you close your computer, and you think,
50
oh, hang on, I'm still at home,
51
this is where I've been working all day.
52
And sometimes you feel like you should be doing things for home when you're actually working.
53
Yeah, it's a bit weirder.
54
Like, it's strange being at home because it's harder to know whether you should be working or doing a bit of housework.
55
In the office, it's easier to just sit,
56
be with your laptop, be with your colleagues and just be working.
57
Have you ever worked somewhere that is not an office?
58
Yes.
59
So I used to work at a farm.
60
It was a farm park,
61
so lots of children playing,
62
and there was a cafe,
63
there was a play area,
64
go-karts, being with animals, so lots of different areas,
65
and it was fun, lots of variety.
66
So that wasn't an office.
67
What about you?
68
I've worked in all kinds of places,
69
especially when I was a student.
70
I worked in factories, farms,
71
I've worked in restaurants, bars,
72
all kinds of places that are not offices.
73
You've done it all.
74
Done it all.
75
Let's recap some of the vocabulary we heard in this podcast.
76
We had office, a place with desks and computers where people go to work.
77
Sometimes at BBC Learning English we work in the office.
78
We had working remotely, which we often also call working from home,
79
and that means working somewhere that isn't the office.
80
For example, your home, but it could also be a cafe or something.
81
We also had colleagues.
82
These are the people that you work with.
83
And we compared working from home with working from an office,
84
and we used lots of comparatives,
85
so it's harder to concentrate at home or it's more difficult to get your work done in the office.
86
Yes, and it's louder in the office, but sometimes that's better.
87
That's it for this episode of Real Easy English.
88
You can test what you've learnt with a worksheet,
89
which you can download for free from our website bbclearningenglish.com.

Consigli per la pratica

Per massimizzare il tuo apprendimento, ti consigliamo di praticare con la tecnica dello shadowing in inglese. Ascolta il ritmo e l'intonazione degli speaker nel video e prova a imitarli. La loro conversazione è abbastanza chiara e con un tono amichevole, adatto per chi sta iniziando. Ecco alcuni suggerimenti pratici per utilizzare la tecnica del shadowspeak:

  • Guarda il video più volte, ogni volta prestando attenzione a diverse parti della conversazione.
  • Durante il shadow speech, cerca di mantenere il tuo ritmo naturale mentre ripeti ciò che ascolti.
  • Concentrati sull’intonazione e sulle pause per rendere il tuo parlato più naturale.
  • Annota le frasi che trovi più utili per il tuo contesto lavorativo e praticale a voce alta.

Utilizzando questi consigli, potrai migliorare non solo le tue abilità linguistiche, ma anche la tua fiducia nel parlare di argomenti relativi al lavoro in inglese. Buona pratica!

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.
