Hello everyone, and welcome to Smart English Hub.
2
My name is Mia.
3
And I'm Alex.
4
We are so happy you are here with us today.
5
Yes, welcome.
6
This is the perfect place to learn English in a fun and easy way.
7
So Mia, how are you today?
8
I am doing great, Alex.
9
I had a really nice, quiet weekend.
10
How about you?
11
Oh, that's nice.
12
My weekend was good, too.
13
I went for a long walk in the park.
14
The weather was beautiful.
15
Wonderful!
16
It's always good to get outside.
17
So today we have a very important topic for our listeners.
18
Yes, we are going to talk about jobs.
19
How to talk about your job in English.
20
That's right.
21
When you meet new people, they often ask about your job.
22
It's a very common question.
23
Exactly.
24
So learning how to talk about what you do is very useful in daily life.
25
OK, let's start with the most common question.
26
What do you do?
27
Mm-hmm.
28
What do you do?
29
This question means, what is your job?
30
Exactly.
31
And the answer is very simple.
32
You can say, I am A, and then your job title.
33
Right.
34
Or you can say, I'm, which is shorter.
35
I'm is short for I am.
36
Let's give some examples.
37
For example, you can say, I am a teacher.
38
Or I'm a doctor.
39
I'm a student.
40
I am a driver.
41
See?
42
It's very simple.
43
I'm a, and your job.
44
Okay, so after you say your job, maybe you want to say more.
45
You can talk about your daily responsibilities.
46
Daily responsibilities.
47
That means the things you do every day at work.
48
Yes, you can use simple verbs for this.
49
Verbs like work, help, write, teach.
50
I see.
51
So for a teacher, you can say, I am a teacher.
52
I teach children.
53
That's a perfect example.
54
Or if you are a writer, you can say, I am a writer.
55
I write books.
56
What about a doctor?
57
A doctor can say, I'm a doctor.
58
I help sick people.
59
That's very clear.
60
So you say what you are and then what you do using a simple verb.
61
Now let's talk about work hours.
62
People might want to know when you work.
63
Right.
64
Like the time you start and the time you finish.
65
Exactly, you can say, I start work at… and then the time.
66
For example, I start work at 9am.
67
Okay, I start work at 9am.
68
And to say when you finish, you can say, I finish work at 5pm.
69
Yes, I finish work at 5pm.
70
Very useful.
71
What if your hours are not the same every day?
72
That's a great question, Alex.
73
You can say, I have flexible hours.
74
Flexible means they can change.
75
I see.
76
And what if you don't work all day?
77
Then you can say, I work part-time.
78
Part-time means you work for only a part of the day, not full-time.
79
Okay, let's move on to the work environment.
80
This means where you work.
81
Yes, your workplace.
82
Many people work in an office, so they can say, I work in an office.
83
Right.
84
I work in an office.
85
What about people who work from their house?
86
They can say, I work from home.
87
I work from home.
88
That is very common now.
89
It is.
90
Some people work outside.
91
For example, a gardener.
92
A gardener can say, I work outside.
93
That makes sense.
94
Another part of the work environment is who you work with.
95
Do you work alone or with other people?
96
Good point.
97
If you work by yourself, you can say, I work alone.
98
I work alone.
99
And if you work with a group of people?
100
Then you say, I work in a team.
101
A team is a group of people working together.
102
So, for example, someone could say, I am a designer.
103
I work in an office, and I work in a team.
104
That's a fantastic, detailed sentence.
105
It gives a lot of information.
106
Okay, now for a very important part.
107
Talking about your feelings about your job.
108
Do you like it or not?
109
Yes, this is great for conversation.
110
If you are happy with your job, you can say, I like my job.
111
And if you are very, very happy, you can say, I love my job.
112
Mm-hmm.
113
And then you can say why.
114
For example, I like my job because it is fun.
115
Or, I love my job because I help people.
116
But what if you are not happy? That happens.
117
You can say, I don't like my job.
118
And you can explain why.
119
For example, I don't like my job because it is boring.
120
Or because it is stressful.
121
Stressful means it makes you worried or tired.
122
Right.
123
So you can say something positive or something negative.
124
Both are OK.
125
Now, what about past jobs?
126
Jobs you had before, but not now.
127
Oh, that's a good one.
128
For past jobs, we can use the phrase, I used to work, or I used to be a… I used to be a… Can you give an example?
129
Sure.
130
One can say, now I am a manager, but before I used to be a salesperson.
131
I see.
132
So it compares the past and the present.
133
Exactly.
134
Another example, I used to work in a restaurant, now I work in an office.
135
And what about the future?
136
How can we talk about our dream jobs or our future plans?
137
For the future, you can use, I want to be, or, a more polite way, I would like to be.
138
OK.
139
So a student might say, Now I am a student.
140
In the future, I want to be an engineer.
141
Or I work as a cashier now, but I would like to be a manager one day.
142
It's great to talk about dreams and goals.
143
It makes the conversation more interesting.
144
Now let's move on to another important part.
145
Let's talk about some useful questions you can ask other people about their jobs.
146
Yes, conversation is two-way.
147
You listen and you ask questions.
148
So what are some good questions?
149
Okay, the first one we already know.
150
What do you do?
151
This is the best way to start.
152
What do you do?
153
Right.
154
What's another one?
155
You can ask about the place.
156
Where do you work?
157
do you work?
158
And the answer could be, I work in an office, or I work from home.
159
Exactly.
160
You can also ask about feelings.
161
Do you like your job?
162
Do you like your job?
163
This is a very friendly question.
164
It shows you're interested.
165
And one more.
166
You can ask about the hours.
167
What are your work hours?
168
What are your work hours?
169
And the answer could be, I work from 9 to 5.
170
These four questions are a great start for any conversation about jobs.
171
Okay, Mia.
172
Are you ready to practice?
173
Let's have a small conversation.
174
Yes, let's do it.
175
You start.
176
Okay.
177
Hi, Mia.
178
What do you do?
179
Hi, Alex.
180
I'm a graphic designer.
181
I design logos and websites for companies.
182
Oh, that's really cool.
183
Where do you work?
184
I work from home most of the time.
185
It's very convenient.
186
That sounds nice.
187
Do you like your job?
188
I love it.
189
It's very creative and fun.
190
Every day is different.
191
What about you, Alex?
192
What do you do?
193
I'm a chef.
194
I cook food in a restaurant.
195
Wow, a chef.
196
That's an amazing job.
197
What are your work hours.
198
They are long.
199
I usually start work at 2pm and finish late at night, around 11pm.
200
That sounds tiring.
201
Do you like it?
202
Yes, I do.
203
It can be stressful, but I love cooking for people and making them happy.
204
That was a great practice conversation.
205
All right, let's do a slow and clear recap.
206
We learned a lot today.
207
Okay.
208
First, to answer, what do you do, you say, I am a, or I'm a, and your job.
209
Like, I'm a teacher.
210
Mm-hmm.
211
Second, to talk about what you do at work, use simple verbs.
212
I help people.
213
I write emails.
214
Third, for work hours, say, I start at and I finish at.
215
Fourth, for your work environment, you can say where you work, like, I work in an office, and who you work with,
216
like, I work in a team.
217
Fifth, talk about your feelings.
218
I like my job because it is fun.
219
Or, I don't like my job because it is boring.
220
Then, for past jobs, use I used to be a, and for future plans, use I want to be a.
221
And finally, remember the useful questions to ask others.
222
What do you do?
223
Where do you work?
224
Do you like your job?
225
And what are your work hours?
226
Now it's your turn to practice.
227
We have some questions for you, our amazing listeners.
228
Yes.
229
Our first question for you is, what do you do?
230
Our second question, do you like your job and why?
231
And our last question, what is your dream job?
232
What do you want to be in the future?

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
