1
Look, learning English helps me feel strong in professional situations.
2
SPS acknowledges the traditional custodians of country and their connections and continuous care for the skies, land and waterways throughout Australia.
3
My work days can feel the same every day.
4
Emails, meetings, deadlines.
5
And sometimes one task, even if it's very small, can feel very hard.
6
You put it off, think about it all day, and then it just stays on your to-do list.
7
A to-do list is a list of jobs that you have to do.
8
Do you make those for yourself?
9
For me, it's not a task itself that is difficult.
10
It's just getting started on it.
11
Hi, I'm Josipa and in this episode we are talking about small wins at work.
12
Those tiny achievements that help us feel good and stay motivated.
13
So let's imagine a short break at work, coffee in hand, Alan and Claire are chatting about the little wins they had today.
14
I finally sent that email I've been putting off.
15
Give yourself a pat on the back.
16
I know that was a tough one.
17
I know, right?
18
I even treated myself to chocolate.
19
Good on you.
20
Now use that small win to build some momentum.
21
Small wins at work might not seem like a big deal, but for me, they can make a huge difference.
22
How about you?
23
Do you celebrate small wins?
24
While you think about your last small win, let's look more closely at the phrases we just heard.
25
Alan first said, I finally sent that email I've been putting off.
26
To put something off means to delay doing it, often because it feels difficult or uncomfortable.
27
It's a very common phrase in everyday English, especially when talking about work.
28
For example, you could say, I've been putting off that report all week.
29
Or, I keep putting off calling the client.
30
I keep putting off cleaning those shelves.
31
Next, Claire said...
32
Give yourself a pat on the back.
33
To give yourself a pat on the back means to feel proud about something you've done.
34
It is like you praise yourself.
35
It's often used when someone has achieved something, even something small.
36
You might also hear, You should be proud of yourself.
37
Or, more casually, Nice work!
38
Then Alan said, I even treated myself to chocolate.
39
To treat yourself means to give yourself a small reward.
40
It could be chocolate, a coffee, a break, or anything you enjoy.
41
For example, I treated myself to a nice lunch.
42
Or I'll treat myself after I finish this task.
43
Next, Claire said...
44
Now use that small win to build some momentum.
45
Momentum is energy and movement so that things progress.
46
When you build momentum, one small success helps you move on to the next task and so you keep going.
47
You could also say...
48
Keep the ball rolling with that win.
49
The phrase, keep the ball rolling, comes from sport.
50
When you roll a ball, it keeps moving.
51
In English, we use it to mean keep going or don't stop.
52
Keep the ball rolling.
53
For example, I finally got through my emails.
54
Now I can keep the ball rolling and finish my report.
55
Finally, Alan said...
56
One step at a time.
57
I'm slowly getting there.
58
One step at a time is a very common phrase in English.
59
It means focusing on small actions instead of trying to do everything at once.
60
It's often used to talk about habits, work goals or personal progress.
61
And of course, you're not getting to any particular destination when you say, I'm taking one step at a time.
62
But you are making progress in whatever you are doing.
63
You could also say, I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
64
Or, I'm making steady progress.
65
If you are making steady progress, you are slowly improving or getting better, one step at a time.
66
Now, let's run through that dialogue one more time, and then my favourite part, our turn to practice out loud.
67
Let's go.
68
I finally sent that email I've been putting off.
69
Give yourself a pat on the back.
70
I know that was a tough one.
71
I know, right?
72
I even treated myself to chocolate.
73
Good on you!
74
Now use that small wind to build some momentum.
75
Now it's time to practice.
76
See if you remember the meaning before hearing the answer.
77
What does it mean to put something off?
78
To put something off means to delay doing something, often because it feels difficult or uncomfortable.
79
What does it mean to treat yourself?
80
To treat yourself means to give yourself a small reward.
81
It could be chocolate, a coffee, a break, or anything you enjoy.
82
Now let's practice our pronunciation skills by repeating after Alan and Claire.
83
You should be proud of yourself.
84
Give yourself a pat on the back.
85
I treated myself to chocolate.

  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, momentum, phrase, uncomfortable 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
