1
Feeling off today?
2
Good morning, Ben.
3
How was your weekend?
4
Morning.
5
It was okay.
6
Ben, are you okay?
7
You look like you haven't slept in days.
8
I'm fine.
9
Your face is screaming the opposite, though.
10
Is everything okay at home?
11
Yeah.
12
Is Buddy okay?
13
My cat is fine.
14
So is everything at home.
15
So, what's wrong?
16
The only thing wrong is my coffee order.
17
Huh?
18
What happened?
19
I asked for an espresso, but they gave me a latte.
20
Why didn't you tell them to change it?
21
Because my brain didn't have enough caffeine to think at that time.
22
Man, if you can't think without coffee, you have a coffee problem.
23
I don't have a coffee problem.
24
I have a problem without coffee, which is worse.
25
So, did you drink your coffee or not?
26
Not yet.
27
So, please talk to me again in about 10 minutes.
28
Office guidelines. So, I'm Ben.
29
I'll be your co-worker from now on.
30
Nice to meet you, Jennifer.
31
Nice to meet you, Ben.
32
How are you feeling about your first day?
33
Excited, but also really nervous.
34
It's my first time working at a tech company.
35
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of things soon.
36
Let me show you the basics.
37
Okay, I'm listening.
38
Work hours are 9 to 5, but we're flexible on finishing times as long as the job gets done.
39
Got it.
40
Lunch break is usually an hour, any time between 11.30 and 1.30.
41
Just let your team know before you head out.
42
Noted.
43
Ah, the golden rule.
44
Never, I mean never microwave fish.
45
Unless you want to be the office villain.
46
No worries.
47
My cooking skills stop at boiling pasta and making toast.
48
Perfect.
49
One more thing.
50
If you finish the coffee, make a new pot.
51
And if I forget?
52
Then you'll see how long coffee lovers can stay angry.
53
Meeting Room So, this is the conference room,
54
but we call it the fight room.
55
Wait, what?
56
He just means we often argue a lot here.
57
About work, of course.
58
Oh, sorry.
59
And you are...
60
I'm Zoe, marketing director.
61
We met during your interview.
62
Nice to meet you again, Jennifer.
63
Oh my, I forgot my boss's face on my very first day at work.
64
Well, I hope you'll work here long enough to remember me then.
65
Has Ben shown you how to book this room yet?
66
I was about to tell her that.
67
Jennifer, if you need to book the room, use the company website.
68
I see.
69
How early should I book it?
70
At least a day in advance, and always add 15 minutes extra for setup and cleanup.
71
Got it.
72
I see you're taking notes a lot.
73
Yeah, it helps me remember things better.
74
Good habit.
75
But in meetings, you should focus on main ideas, not every word.
76
I will remember that.
77
And for the tech side, test your laptop, the screen, the projector and all the cables before people arrive.
78
Right.
79
What's worse than having a tech problem?
80
It's having a tech problem at a tech company.
81
Noted.
82
Thanks for the advice.
83
Project assignment.
84
Jennifer, I heard you're leading the new product project.
85
Yeah, it's for the new app.
86
Oh, it's a big one.
87
Congratulations!
88
Thank you.
89
I hope I can do it well.
90
I'm sure you will.
91
You've been learning really fast.
92
That's so kind of you to say, but the deadline is pretty tight.
93
How tight?
94
I have two weeks.
95
Two weeks?
96
That deadline is as tight as my jeans after Christmas dinner.
97
Right?
98
That's why I'm so nervous.
99
Look, if you need some support, I'm here.
100
How?
101
Aren't you busy with another project?
102
I wasn't talking about work support.
103
I meant emotional support.
104
Thanks!
105
I might need a lot of it!
106
Contract Signing Good morning, Jennifer!
107
I'm Sam from HR.
108
Thanks for joining this meeting.
109
Thanks for having me.
110
And Ben, thanks for being here to witness this.
111
Anytime.
112
So, Jennifer, your probation period is over and we have your permanent contract here.
113
Are you ready to make it official?
114
Yes, I'm so excited.
115
I can't believe it's already been two months.
116
Let me walk you through the key point.
117
Yes, please.
118
Your salary, benefits, and vacation days are all outlined here.
119
We'll cover your health insurance and provide you with courses if you want to improve your skills.
120
You'll get 12 vacation days a year, with more days added after your first year.
121
Sounds good.
122
This part covers our confidentiality agreement.
123
Basically, what happens inside the company stays inside the company.
124
So, we're like Vegas.
125
Exactly.
126
Except it's less fun here.
127
If this place were Vegas, I'd be ten times richer.
128
Or ten times more broke.
129
Hard to say.
130
Anyway, Jennifer, you can sign here once you've checked everything.
131
Fair.
132
I'm officially official now.
133
Welcome to the team, officially.
134
Do you think we've reached the end of the conversation?
135
Not yet.
136
You still need to practice.
137
Let's practice listening together.
138
Overtime policy.
139
Hey guys, did you see the email about the new overtime rules?
140
Yeah, I don't understand.
141
Does this mean we have to work more hours every week?
142
Not really.
143
It just means if we stay late for big projects, we'll get paid for it.
144
Okay, that's good.
145
But honestly, I don't want to be at work until 9pm every day.
146
Same here.
147
What about work-life balance?
148
Can't miss work-life balance if you don't even have a life in the first place.
149
Hey, I do have a life.
150
Really?
151
How can you have it if you work until 11 every night?
152
Wait, you really do that?
153
Ben, that's not healthy.
154
I'm fine.
155
I just forget about time sometimes.
156
More like all the time?
157
Look, at least I'm setting an example.
158
Yeah, but it's a bad example.
159
Pay raise.
160
Hey, Jennifer.
161
You look weirdly happy today.
162
What's going on?
163
Oh, Ben, I just found out I'm getting a 15% raise.
164
No way!
165
That's incredible!
166
Congratulations!
167
Congratulations.
168
Thanks, Ben.
169
I can't believe it.
170
I've only been here for five months.
171
I know.
172
All I got after five months was the ability to unjam the printer.
173
Honestly, I don't feel like I deserve this.
174
You totally deserve it.
175
Everything you do is amazing.
176
I was so nervous when Zoe called me into her office.
177
I thought I was in trouble or something.
178
Are you kidding?
179
You've been our star player since day one.
180
I'm actually a little jealous.
181
Don't be.
182
I couldn't have done it without your emotional support.
183
That's really sweet of you to say.
184
Promotion news.
185
So, before we wrap up the meeting, I have an announcement.
186
Let's hope this doesn't take too long.
187
Don't worry, it'll be quick.
188
Jennifer's being promoted to marketing team lead.
189
Wow, really?
190
That's amazing!
191
Congratulations, Jen.
192
I wish my car were as fast as you climbing the career ladder.
193
She's shown real talent and leadership.
194
I'm sure the team will do great under her guidance.
195
I couldn't have done it without all of the team's help.
196
And we wouldn't have been able to help you without.
197
A little celebration.
198
Agreed.
199
So, how about lunch?
200
My treat.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습하는 이유는 무엇인가요?

이 비디오는 다양한 직장 내 대화 상황을 다루고 있어, 실제 업무 환경에서 사용하는 영어 회화를 연습하는 데 매우 유용합니다. 비디오의 대화를 따라 하며 영어 쉐도잉 기법을 활용하면 발음과 억양을 개선할 수 있고, 다양한 비즈니스 표현에도 익숙해질 수 있습니다. 또한, 직장 문화와 중요한 규칙을 배우는 것도 가능해, 영어로 소통하는 자신감을 키우는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다.

맥락 속의 문법과 표현

  • "How was your weekend?" - 일상적인 질문으로, 상대방의 주말에 대한 관심을 표현하는 좋은 예입니다.
  • "Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of things soon." - 여러 상황에서 격려의 표현으로 사용됩니다. 새로운 환경에서의 불안감을 덜어주는 데 유용합니다.
  • "If you finish the coffee, make a new pot." - 조건문을 사용한 지시사항으로, 일상적인 사무실 규정을 전달하는 역할을 합니다.
  • "How early should I book it?" - 예약 관련 질문으로, 직장에서의 커뮤니케이션에서 빈번하게 사용되는 표현입니다.

일반적인 발음 유의점

비디오에서 유의해야 할 발음 요소로는 'espresso'와 'latte'가 있습니다. 특히 'espresso'의 경우, 종종 'x'를 발음하지 않거나 'expresso'라고 발음하는 실수가 발생할 수 있습니다. 이러한 발음 오류를 피하고 영어 발음 교정에 도움을 주기 위해, 원어민의 발음을 여러 번 따라 해보는 것이 좋습니다. 또한, 'microwave'와 같은 복잡한 단어는 느린 속도로 연습하면서 발음의 명확성을 높이는 것이 중요합니다.

이 비디오를 통해 제공되는 영어 회화 연습을 통해, 실제 비즈니스 대화에 필요한 다양한 문맥과 표현을 익히고, shadow speech 기법을 통해 문장을 반복하여 말하면 자연스러운 회화 능력을 발전시킬 수 있습니다. 이러한 연습은 영어 회화 능력을 강화하는 데 특히 효과적입니다.

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.
