1
You'll hear part of a talk about working in the computer games industry.
2
For questions 7 to 14, complete the sentences.
3
You now have 45 seconds to look at part 2.
4
Thank you.
5
i'm here today to talk to you about working in computer gaming i'd certainly recommend it as a career not
6
because it's glamorous it has that reputation among some people i believe nor
7
because it's a well -paid job generally it isn't but rather
8
because it's creative and that's the factor
9
that all things being equal correlates most highly with job satisfaction
10
people get jobs in the computer games industry after degrees in all sorts of subjects.
11
Of course, if you've done a course in graphic design, that'll stand you in good stead, but it's certainly not essential.
12
I myself graduated in economics, and colleagues of mine did history, engineering, and English.
13
The degree itself is less important than the enthusiasm someone brings to the job.
14
It goes without saying that everyone who joins the industry has themselves enjoyed playing games.
15
My parents always told me I spent far too much time on them, so much so that they suggested I put it to good use and apply for work in the industry.
16
My uncle sent me the name of someone he knew at a major games company, so I decided to apply there first.
17
I was lucky enough to get taken on.
18
I didn't have the skills to become a technical programmer, of course, and started as a games tester.
19
That taught me a huge amount, and after six months, I was able to do something more demanding.
20
At first, I was assigned to one of the games the company was then in the process of developing.
21
You may well know it.
22
It's called Jungle.
23
It turned out to be a big seller.
24
Later, I worked on a game called Motor Show.
25
That's less widely known, but it has a devoted niche following.
26
Anyway, I learned a lot working on these two contrasting products.
27
After six months, I moved on.
28
I was given a position in the research department.
29
I had applied for something in the marketing department, but didn't get that.
30
I was disappointed at the time, but now feel it worked out for the best.
31
There are, of course, many different types of computer games.
32
The company I work for specialises in sports games, skateboarding, motor racing, that sort of thing.
33
However, it's also dabbled in old -fashioned arcade games, and it does some adventure games too.
34
Those are the ones I personally most enjoy working on, though each type of game has its own attractions, of course.
35
Anyway, I'd certainly recommend a career in computer games.
36
I'd say mine has been very satisfying.
37
not as financially rewarding as some of you might like but that's not the main thing is it
38
when preparing for this talk i asked some of my colleagues how they would sum up their careers
39
the most common word they used was challenging but i don't feel
40
that that puts a positive enough slant on a career in computer games anyway let me now take any questions
41

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | you've done · has been |
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | was assigned · was given |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | everyone who joins |
Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 21 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'd, didn't, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, skateboard /ˈskeɪt.bɔɹd/, arcade /ɑɹˈkeɪd/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: dabble /ˈdæb.əl/, slant /ˈslænt/, glamorous /ˈɡlæ.mə.ɹəs/, programmer /ˈpɹoʊɡɹæmɚ/, satisfy /ˈsætɪsfaɪ/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, glamorous /ˈɡlæ.mə.ɹəs/, programmer /ˈpɹoʊɡɹæmɚ/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als colleague, correlate, dabble.
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.
