Part 3.
2
Speaker 1.
3
I work in the front office on board ship,
4
answering passenger queries and so on.
5
I used to work in the back office,
6
but I wanted to better myself,
7
so I took some customer service evening courses at my local college between cruises,
8
and then reapplied for work on the ship.
9
That's what's good about this line of work.
10
You can move up quite quickly.
11
What I love about this job is that you really get to interact with passengers.
12
We get people from all walks of life,
13
lots of couples, but families too.
14
They come for the holiday of a lifetime, a bit of luxury.
15
And why not?
16
Speaker 2 There's a common misconception that everyone who works on a cruise ship is in their early 20s,
17
but most people here are older than me.
18
I was going nowhere professionally,
19
so thought I'd try my hand here.
20
Most of the cruise singers,
21
myself included, dream of being discovered by a passenger who also happens to be a record producer.
22
A bit unlikely, I know.
23
The staff quarters are brilliant.
24
My cabin is better than my bedroom back home.
25
And the social life is great too.
26
We have some fantastic staff parties and we even put on our own concerts sometimes.
27
Speaker three.
28
Well, I'm a bit of an oddity,
29
actually, because I'm a whole lot older than most people who work on board.
30
I'm sixty-eight.
31
Also, I don't get paid.
32
That's right.
33
Many people ask me why I do it,
34
but I have the chance to go on all these wonderful cruises for absolutely nothing.
35
My role is to accompany the groups when they go ashore and make sure everything runs smoothly.
36
It's perfect.
37
I spend all my time with the passengers and I've made some lovely friends over the years.
38
My husband does the same thing,
39
but it's a shame it's on another ship, though.
40
At least we have lots to talk about.
41
Speaker 4 I'm a chef.
42
Catering is hard work.
43
It's really full on most of the time.
44
Some nights I can't wait to get back to the cabin and put my feet up,
45
even if the space is a bit small.
46
My wife's a childminder on board,
47
and although we work completely different hours,
48
it's ideal really, because otherwise I wouldn't see much of her.
49
I qualified and worked in a restaurant in Canada,
50
but I always wanted to travel.
51
It's not a luxurious lifestyle for the staff on board,
52
but the job does allow me to see new places.
53
Speaker 5 I work in the tour office,
54
organising the tours that the passengers can go on when we make our various stops.
55
Although the pay isn't great,
56
especially as we don't make any tips like they do in the restaurant,
57
there are other perks.
58
There are like loads of courses we can do.
59
I've learnt Italian and brushed up my computer skills since I've been doing this job.
60
The staff's social activities are fantastic,
61
almost as good as the passengers' entertainment.
62
On the whole, the passengers are really nice.
63
I mean, I love seeing them all dressed up in their posh clothes going in for dinner.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
