Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today I'd like to look at a sample question that you could ask at the end of a job interview.
4
If somebody asks you, do you have any questions for us?
5
Let's take a look.
6
Yeah, I do have a couple of questions.
7
Let's see here.
8
Yeah, I do have.
9
I do have a, have a couple, have a couple of questions.
10
So have a, we want to link together.
11
Couple of.
12
You have a few different ways to do this.
13
You could say couple of questions or couple of questions.
14
Couple of questions, couple of questions.
15
Both are totally fine.
16
Let's see here.
17
Let's see here.
18
So the at the end of let's gets connected with the in see.
19
Let's see here.
20
Earlier, you touched on the The remote work policy.
21
You touched on, touched on.
22
That D at the end of touched links with on.
23
The remote work, remote work.
24
That T at the end of remote gets turned into a glottal stop.
25
Remote work policy.
26
You said people are free.
27
Said people.
28
Said people.
29
That d at the end of said connects to the p in people.
30
You said people are free to come and go.
31
People-er.
32
So here we'll never write people apostrophe re, but we pronounce it people-er.
33
People are free to.. we don't say to here.
34
Free to come and go.
35
Free to come and go.
36
Now and turns into n.
37
Come and.. come and go.
38
Come and go at the office.
39
At the.. at the office.
40
At the.. we connect the at and the together.
41
At the office.
42
And we say the, the office, because the next word begins with a, the office, at the office, as they please.
43
And so I was curious.
44
And so, again that d in and disappears.
45
And so I was curious.
46
What percentage, what percentage, the t in what disappears into a glottal stop.
47
What percentage do you have right now at the office? Do you have?
48
Do you have?
49
Do you, the vowels get reduced and they both kind of connect to have.
50
Do you have?
51
What percentage do you have right now at the office?
52
Right now.
53
The T in right turns into a glottal stop.
54
At the office.
55
Again, we'll link those three words together.
56
At the office.
57
At the office.
58
And are you seeing a trend?
59
And are you seeing...
60
So here, and could be pronounced as a full and.
61
And are you seeing a trend?
62
And you would do this if you want to sound a little more formal or a little more careful with your speech, because here and is introducing a whole new part of the question.
63
And are you seeing a trend?
64
Or you could link it together.
65
And are you seeing a trend?
66
Are you seeing a seeing a ng, ng?
67
We'll link that last ng at the end of seeing with a.
68
And seeing has kind of two syllables normally, but we'll reduce it to just one.
69
Seeing a, seeing a, seeing a.
70
And are you seeing a trend?
71
And are you seeing a trend of more people starting to work from home?
72
Starting to, starting to, again, to gets reduced.
73
Starting to work from home or starting to work from the office?
74
Starting to work from home or starting to work from the office?
75
Now here, we'll have a contrastive intonation here.
76
Starting to work from home or starting to work from the office.
77
Now that they have.
78
Now that they have the choice.
79
That, they connects together and the vowel in that gets reduced.
80
Yeah, I do have a couple of questions.
81
Let's see here.
82
Earlier, you touched on the remote work policy.
83
You said people are free to come and go at the office as they please, and so I was curious, what percentage do you have right now at the office?
84
And are you seeing a trend of more people starting to work from home
85
or starting to work from the office now that they have the choice?

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。
