Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
My name is Catherine and today we've got part three of an exciting series we've got for you at the elementary level.
4
That's right.
5
As you may remember, this is a series that we're studying all about a job interview.
6
So in the first part, we just talked about the introduction.
7
The second part was talking about your personal background.
8
And now we're going to talk about your educational background.
9
Okay, so the key topic here today is education.
10
Let's take a listen to this dialogue and we'll be back in a minute.
11
Now if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
12
Yes, that's right.
13
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
14
My major was English and my minor was Business.
15
I completed my BA in 2004.
16
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
17
Yes, that's right.
18
I've always enjoyed studying.
19
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
20
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
21
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
22
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university student newspaper, which I really loved.
23
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
24
What did that involve?
25
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
26
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
27
I'm sure.
28
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
29
Yeah, okay.
30
Okay.
31
All right, we're back.
32
So the girl was talking about her education about her university and she talked about some very interesting words
33
So why don't we take a look at those and language takeaway?
34
Language takeaway
35
So at the very beginning mr. Parsons who's the interviewer here asks Rebecca about her background
36
and says I see that you completed your BA in English Okay, so we have an acronym there a BA
37
This stands for bachelor's or usually a four -year degree at the beginning of your university studies.
38
That's right.
39
So it's a type of degree, right?
40
A BA is, as you say, your bachelor's degree, and it usually takes four years.
41
That's right.
42
You have a bachelor of the arts, BA, but you also have a bachelor of science, which is a BS.
43
So as you can tell, one is for the arts, like art history, music, things like that.
44
The other is for sciences like physics or chemistry.
45
Very good.
46
All right.
47
So she has a BA in English.
48
So she obviously studied the English language in university.
49
Then she moved on to talk about her major and minor.
50
That's right.
51
So as you know, a degree is not just a degree in the arts in general,
52
but it usually has a focus or an area of focus.
53
So her area of focus, her major was English.
54
This is the most important part of her studies.
55
So many of her courses, most of her courses at university were in English.
56
That's right.
57
But she also has a minor in business studies.
58
Okay, that means she also studied business and business studies.
59
That's not as important as her English studies, but it was very much a part of her degree.
60
So let's say that when she was studying in university, 70 % of what she studied was related to her major English.
61
And maybe 30 % was her minor was business studies.
62
That's right.
63
And she goes on to talk about herself and her friends who describe her as a bookworm.
64
This is a really nice adjective and very common in English.
65
That's right.
66
So if you are a bookworm or you describe yourself as a bookworm, it means that you like to study a lot.
67
You like to read a lot of books.
68
So bookworm is just like what you said, is someone who really likes to read, someone who's always reading.
69
Maybe someone who lives in the library.
70
So that's why you call them a bookworm.
71
They live in the library or they read a lot of books.
72
All right.
73
So that's the noun bookworm.
74
Now, moving on to other parts of university, when you're studying, you're not only studying English or sciences and things like that.
75
Sometimes you also do other activities or other things.
76
That's right.
77
So you have your schoolwork, which is during school.
78
It's English and business studies for this woman, Rebecca.
79
But you also have what you do outside of school.
80
This is called extracurricular activities.
81
So it's a long word, extracurricular.
82
That's right.
83
So extracurricular means it's not in the curriculum, right?
84
That's right.
85
It's outside of school.
86
So it's not really like a specific subject or something that's related to your studies.
87
If you don't do extracurricular activities, it's okay, right?
88
That's right.
89
A lot of people don't do any extracurricular activities, but many people do.
90
For example, writing for the school newspaper or playing soccer.
91
Exactly.
92
So those are extracurricular activities.
93
Anything that you want to do in university apart from studying, playing soccer, writing, etc. And it's not just university.
94
You can do these in high school as well.
95
Okay, very good.
96
So those are the words that we have picked out for you today.
97
I think they're very specific to education.
98
And I think we should go back, listen to the dialogue again, and we'll be back in a bit with Fluency Builder.
99
Now, if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
100
Yes, that's right.
101
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
102
My major was English and my minor was business.
103
I completed my BA in 2004.
104
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
105
Yes, that's right.
106
I've always enjoyed studying.
107
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
108
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
109
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
110
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university student newspaper, which I really loved.
111
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
112
What did that involve?
113
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
114
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
115
I'm sure.
116
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
117
Yeah, okay.
118
Okay.
119
All right, we're back.
120
So now let's start off with our first phrase on Fluency Builder.
121
Fluency Builder.
122
So Rebecca's talking about her father and her friends, and she says she's a bookworm, but her father always pushed us.
123
That means her and her family members, her siblings, to succeed.
124
And this verb, to push us, to push someone, is very important because it's not the same as like to push a door.
125
Right.
126
So it's not physically that you're pushing somebody.
127
It's actually to motivate somebody or to inspire someone to become better at something.
128
That's right.
129
So to push someone is to encourage them to do something bad.
130
It's not always a good thing.
131
So she was always pushing me to do what she wanted to do, not what I wanted to do.
132
That means someone's always trying to influence you or to get you to do something.
133
Exactly.
134
So as you say, to push someone is to influence them, to motivate them, to encourage them to do something good or bad.
135
Well, and Mr. Parsons agreed with her dad's encouragement and he said, well, it really paid off.
136
Okay, this is a great verbal phrase, to pay off.
137
This means to have benefits.
138
Okay, so all of your hard work really paid off.
139
So you can see the results.
140
You can see the positive results of your hard work.
141
It paid off.
142
You could even ask someone, all that hard work, did it pay off?
143
Right.
144
So you're basically asking, was it worth it?
145
Yeah.
146
Okay.
147
To pay off.
148
And well, when she was talking about extracurricular activities, she said she was always keen on writing.
149
Now, I think this is more common among British people to say you're keen on something, but it basically means to like.
150
So remember the phrase, keen on.
151
This is the preposition here, keen on.
152
I'm keen on writing.
153
So can you say that you are keen on someone?
154
Yes, you can.
155
That means you like someone, maybe romantically.
156
Okay, so it's kind of, as Catherine said, more of a British thing, but it's correct and you can use it in replacement of to like.
157
I think it also sounds a little bit more formal.
158
Instead of saying, well, I've always liked writing, if she says, well, I've always been keen on writing, I think it sounds nice.
159
A little smarter.
160
Yeah.
161
All right.
162
And our last word.
163
It's actually an interesting word.
164
It might be a little bit complicated to understand.
165
But when she said that volunteering was very fulfilling and to be part of a group.
166
Okay.
167
Fulfilling sounds a lot like the word filling.
168
But you shouldn't confuse these two because the meaning is very different, right?
169
So something that is fulfilling makes you feel really good.
170
Maybe you don't make money from it or you don't get a lot of praise from it,
171
but it still makes you feel happy about life for yourself or something.
172
So you get satisfaction.
173
Now notice the pronunciation.
174
You don't say fulfilling.
175
No, you say fulfilling.
176
Fulfilling.
177
So the L there is kind of silent.
178
Kind of optional.
179
But maybe you could ask someone, what do you find fulfilling in your life?
180
Or you can ask, do you think your job is fulfilling?
181
Yeah.
182
Okay.
183
So a lot of great words there, a lot of interesting things related to education and not so much.
184
Why don't we go back and listen to the dialogue one last time.
185
Now if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
186
Yes, that's right.
187
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
188
My major was English and my minor was Business.
189
I completed my BA in 2004.
190
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
191
Yes, that's right.
192
I've always enjoyed studying.
193
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
194
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
195
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
196
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university student newspaper, which I really loved.
197
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
198
What did that involve?
199
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
200
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
201
I'm sure.
202
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
203
Yeah, okay.
204
Okay.
205
All right.
206
So talking about going to university, I think they used a really specific verb there that's worth mentioning.
207
She said, I attended
208
York University in the UK.
209
So to attend.
210
That's right.
211
So you can say I studied at York University,
212
but the more formal way of saying that I was a student at York University is to say I attended that school.
213
So to attend means to be a student at that place.
214
Okay.
215
And what about you, Catherine?
216
Did you participate in any extracurricular activities back in college?
217
I did.
218
I participated in a lot of extracurricular activities.
219
I was in the orchestra at my university, and I played in a lot of musical groups.
220
I also was in a discussion group for politics and the India -Pakistan dialogue group.
221
And I was in a number of different film clubs.
222
So we would talk about film.
223
And I even helped out at the TV station for my university.
224
Oh, wow.
225
The university had a TV station.
226
Yeah.
227
So all of it was student directed.
228
So basically the students controlled the TV station.
229
That's really interesting.
230
I think these types of extracurricular activities
231
These are, as many as these, are maybe not as common in other places, or maybe they're a little bit different.
232
I know, for example, in the U .S., you have all these political ones and a lot of sports and things like that.
233
But you also have very strange far ones like, I don't know, there's a cooking club and there's even like a gardening club, I've heard.
234
Astronomy club.
235
Astronomy club.
236
There's all types of extracurricular activities.
237
Well, what's really nice about a lot of American universities is that there are many, many resources that students can use.
238
And so maybe the reason there's a cooking club is
239
because there are massive kitchens the students can use to cook food and experiment.
240
And even teachers and professors sometimes come to help.
241
So it's a really nice environment because everyone's teaching each other.
242
Right.
243
No, it's very, very interesting.
244
And we're actually curious to know how universities work in your country.
245
Are you able to have a minor in a subject?
246
Because many universities don't offer this option.
247
Right.
248
They just have one major and that's all.
249
Right.
250
Or maybe are you able to participate in extracurricular activities?
251
Like sports or radio or writing.
252
Let us know.
253
Our website is EnglishPod .com.
254
All right.
255
So we'll see you guys there.
256
Bye.
257
Bye.

but it really paid off.
298

299
Extracurricular What extracurricular activities did you participate in while you were in college?
300
Extracurricular Many students in Asian countries have to study so much they have no time for extracurricular activities.
301
Extracurricular I'm a happily married man with no extracurricular relationships.
302
Now, if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
303
Yes, that's right.
304
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
305
My major was English and my minor was Business.
306
I completed my BA in 2004.
307
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
308
Yes, that's right.
309
I've always enjoyed studying.
310
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
311
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
312
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
313
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university student newspaper, which I really loved.
314
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
315
What did that involve?
316
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
317
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
318
I'm sure.
319
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
320
Yeah, okay.
321
Okay.
322
All right, we're back.
323
So the girl was talking about her education, about her university, and she talked about some very interesting words.
324
So why don't we take a look at those and language takeaway.
325
Language takeaway.
326
So, at the very beginning, Mr. Parsons, who's the interviewer here, asks Rebecca about her background and says,
327
I see that you completed your BA in English.
328
Okay, so we have an acronym there, a BA.
329
This stands for bachelor's, or usually a four -year degree at the beginning of your university studies.
330
That's right.
331
So, it's a type of degree, right?
332
A BA is, as you say, your bachelor's degree, and it usually takes four years.
333
That's right.
334
You have a Bachelor of the Arts, BA, but you also have a Bachelor of Science, which is a BS.
335
So as you can tell, one is for the arts, like art history, music, things like that.
336
The other is for sciences, like physics or chemistry.
337
Very good.
338
All right.
339
So she has a BA in English.
340
So she obviously studied the English language in university.
341
Then she moved on to talk about her major and minor.
342
That's right.
343
So as you know, a degree is not just a degree in the arts in general,
344
but it usually has a focus or an area of focus.
345
So her area of focus, her major was English.
346
This is the most important part of her studies.
347
So many of her courses, most of her courses at university were in English.
348
That's right.
349
But she also has a minor in business studies.
350
Okay, that means she also studied business and business studies.
351
That's not as important as her English studies, but it was very much a part of her degree.
352
So let's say that when she was studying in university, 70 % of what she studied was related to her major English.
353
And maybe 30 % was her minor was business studies.
354
That's right.
355
And she goes on to talk about herself and her friends who describe her as a bookworm.
356
This is a really nice adjective and very common in English.
357
That's right.
358
So if you are a bookworm or you describe yourself as a bookworm, it means that you like to study a lot.
359
You like to read a lot of books.
360
So bookworm is just like what you said, is someone who really likes to read, someone who's always reading.
361
Maybe someone who lives in the library.
362
So that's why you call them a bookworm.
363
They live in the library or they read a lot of books.
364
All right.
365
So that's the noun bookworm.
366
Now moving on to other parts of university
367
when you're studying you're not only studying English or sciences
368
and things like that sometimes you also do other activities
369
or other things that's right so you have your schoolwork
370
which is during school it's English and business studies for this woman Rebecca
371
but you also have what you do outside of school
372
this is called extracurricular activities that's a long word extracurricular that's right
373
so extracurricular means it's not in the curriculum right that's outside of school.
374
So it's not really like a specific subject or something that's related to your studies.
375
If you don't do extracurricular activities, it's okay, right?
376
That's right.
377
A lot of people don't do any extracurricular activities, but many people do.
378
For example, writing for the school newspaper or playing soccer.
379
Exactly.
380
So those are extracurricular activities.
381
Anything that you want to do in university apart from studying, playing soccer, writing, etc. And it's not just university.
382
You can do these in high school as well.
383
Okay, very good.
384
So those are the words that we have picked out for you today.
385
I think they're very specific to education.
386
And I think we should go back, listen to the dialogue again, and we'll be back in a bit with Fluency Builder.
387
Now, if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
388
Yes, that's right.
389
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
390
My major was English and my minor was Business.
391
I completed my BA in 2004.
392
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
393
Yes, that's right.
394
I've always enjoyed studying.
395
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
396
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
397
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
398
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university student newspaper, which I really loved.
399
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
400
What did that involve?
401
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
402
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
403
I'm sure.
404
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
405
Yeah, okay.
406
Okay.
407
All right, we're back.
408
So now let's start off with our first phrase on Fluency Builder.
409
Fluency Builder.
410
So Rebecca's talking about her father and her friends, and she says she's a bookworm, but her father always pushed us,
411
that means her and her family members, her siblings, to succeed.
412
And this verb, to push us, to push someone, is very important
413
because it's not the same is like to push a door right
414
so it's not physically that you're pushing somebody it's actually to motivate somebody
415
or to inspire someone to become better at something that's right
416
so to push someone is to encourage them to do something bad it's not always a good thing
417
so right she was always pushing me to do what she wanted to do not what I wanted to do
418
that means someone's always trying to influence you or to get you to do something.
419
Exactly.
420
So as you say, to push someone is to influence them, to motivate them, to encourage them to do something good or bad.
421
Well, and Mr. Parsons agreed with her dad's encouragement, and he said, well, it really paid off.
422
Okay, this is a great verbal phrase, to pay off.
423
This means to have benefits.
424
Okay, so all of your hard work really paid off.
425
So you can see the results.
426
You can see the positive results of your hard work.
427
It paid off.
428
You could even ask someone, all that hard work, did it pay off?
429
Right.
430
So you're basically asking, was it worth it?
431
Yeah.
432
Okay.
433
To pay off.
434
And, well, when she was talking about extracurricular activities, she said she was always keen on writing.
435
Now, I think this is more common among British people to say you're keen on something, but it basically means to like.
436
So remember the phrase, keen on.
437
This is the preposition here, keen on.
438
I'm keen on writing.
439
So can you say that you are keen on someone?
440
Yes, you can.
441
That means you like someone, maybe romantically.
442
Okay, so it's kind of, as Catherine said, more of a British thing, but it's correct and you can use it in replacement of to like.
443
I think it also sounds a little bit more formal.
444
Instead of saying, well, I've always liked writing, if she says, well, I've always been keen on writing, I think it sounds nice.
445
A little smarter.
446
Yeah.
447
All right.
448
And our last word.
449
It's actually an interesting word.
450
It might be a little bit complicated to understand.
451
But when she said that volunteering was very fulfilling and to be part of a group.
452
Okay.
453
Fulfilling sounds a lot like the word filling.
454
But you shouldn't confuse these two because the meaning is very different, right?
455
So something that is fulfilling makes you feel really good.
456
Maybe you don't make money from it or you don't get a lot of praise from it,
457
but it still makes you feel happy about life for yourself or something.
458
So you get satisfaction.
459
Now notice the pronunciation.
460
You don't say fulfilling.
461
No, you say fulfilling.
462
Fulfilling.
463
So the L there is kind of silent.
464
Kind of optional.
465
But maybe you could ask someone, what do you find fulfilling in your life?
466
Or you can ask, do you think your job is fulfilling?
467
Yeah.
468
Okay.
469
So, a lot of great words there, a lot of interesting things related to education, and not so much.
470
Why don't we go back and listen to the dialogue one last time.
471
Now, if I look here, I see that you completed a BA in English.
472
Yes, that's right.
473
After graduating from high school in New York, I attended York University in the UK.
474
My major was English, and my minor was Business.
475
I completed my BA in 2004.
476
Yes, I'm pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
477
Yes, that's right.
478
I've always enjoyed studying.
479
My friends say I'm a bit of a bookworm but my father always pushed us to succeed at school.
480
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off, Rebecca.
481
So how about extracurricular activities at university?
482
Well, I've always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the university's student newspaper, which I really loved.
483
Also, I volunteered for a group called Shelter to help the homeless in New York.
484
What did that involve?
485
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months.
486
I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
487
I'm sure.
488
Okay, now let's move on to your work experience, shall we?
489
Yeah, okay.
490
Okay.
491
All right, so talking about going to university, I think they used a really specific verb there that's worth mentioning.
492
She said, I attended
493
York University in the UK.
494
So, to attend.
495
That's right.
496
So you can say I studied at York University,
497
but the more formal way of saying that I was a student at York University is to say I attended that school.
498
So to attend means to be a student at that place.
499
Okay.
500
And what about you, Catherine?
501
Did you participate in any extracurricular activities back in college?
502
I did.
503
I participated in a lot of extracurricular activities.
504
I was in the orchestra at my university, and I played in a lot of musical groups.
505
I also was in a discussion group for politics and the India -Pakistan dialogue group.
506
And I was in a number of different film clubs.
507
So we would talk about film.
508
And I even helped out at the TV station for my university.
509
Oh, wow.
510
The university had a TV station.
511
Yeah, so all of it was student -directed.
512
So basically, the students controlled the TV station.
513
That's really interesting.
514
I think these types of extracurricular activities are, as many as these, are maybe not as common in other places.
515
Or maybe they're a little bit different.
516
I know, for example, in the U .S., you have all these political ones and a lot of sports and things like that.
517
But you also have very strange far ones like, I don't know, like there's a cooking club and there's even like a like a gardening club.
518
Astronomy club.
519
Astronomy club.
520
There's all types of extracurricular activities.
521
Well, what's really nice about a lot of American universities is that there are many, many resources that students can use.
522
And so maybe the reason there's a cooking club is
523
because there are massive kitchens the students can use to cook food
524
and experiment and even teachers and professors sometimes come to help.
525
So it's a really nice environment because everyone's teaching each other.
526
Right.
527
It's very, very interesting.
528
And we're actually curious to know how universities work in your country.
529
Are you able to have a minor in a subject?
530
Because many universities don't offer this option.
531
Right.
532
They just have one major and that's all.
533
Right.
534
Or maybe are you able to participate in extracurricular activities?
535
Like sports or radio or writing.
536
Let us know.

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。
