English in 3 Minutes Welcome to EnglishClass101 .com's English in 3 Minutes, the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn English.
2
Hey everyone, I'm Alisha.
3
In this series, we're going to learn some easy ways to ask and answer common questions in English.
4
English.
5
It's really useful, and it only takes three minutes.
6
In this lesson, you're going to learn how to ask what someone's job is in natural English.
7
Of course, you can just say, what is your job?
8
This is correct English, but it sounds too direct and awkward.
9
Native English speakers almost never say this in a social situation.
10
Instead, they use a different question.
11
But before we master that, we need to compare it to a very similar question.
12
What are you doing?
13
I'm presenting a video about English.
14
What do you do?
15
I'm an English teacher.
16
Do you see the difference?
17
These two questions, What are you doing? and What do you do? sound similar but mean different things.
18
The first one is asking what you are doing right now, this minute.
19
You answer it using an ing verb.
20
What are you doing?
21
I'm reading.
22
I'm watching TV.
23
While the second is actually a shortened version of what do you do for a living?
24
This is how we ask, what is your job, in natural English.
25
Let's practice this question.
26
What do you do?
27
What do you do?
28
When native speakers of English ask this question, it can come out very fast and sound more like, What do you do?
29
In order to tell it apart from, What are you doing?
30
Just listen for the ing sound on the end of the question.
31
If it's not there, then you're being asked what your job is.
32
So, how would you answer this question?
33
Just think of it as if the other person is asking you, What is your job?
34
You could answer with, I am, plus your job.
35
I'm a teacher.
36
I'm a teacher.
37
Or, I'm an engineer.
38

41
I work at a hospital.
42
I work at a hospital.
43
I work at a law firm.
44
I work at a law firm.
45
If you work for a big company that is well known, you can say, I work for, and then the name.
46
I work for Microsoft.
47
I work for Microsoft.
48
I work for the New York Times.
49
I work for the New York Times.
50
Now it's time for Alicia's advice.
51
When you ask the question, what do you do? and the other person tells you their job,
52
it's polite to make some kind of positive comment about his or her job.
53
For example, how interesting, or that must be exciting, or even, oh, really?
54
Remember to sound sincere.
55
Do you know how native English speakers ask each other what their hobbies are?
56
Hint, we don't use the word hobbies.
57
Find out next time in the third English in 3 minutes lesson.
58
See you next time.
59
Thank you.

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.
