1
Well, when I left school three years ago, lots of my friends went to university, but it was too expensive for me to go.
2
I was unhappy because they seemed to be having a great time.
3
I just had a job at a building company in my hometown.
4
It was okay.
5
At least I got paid.
6
I was planning to save up money to go to university, but then I read about the apprenticeship in a magazine at work,
7
and applied for it and got it.
8
It's the best of both worlds, I think.
9
Well, the apprenticeship is for a big construction company, and it's four years long.
10
I work in a different department every four months, and learn what happens in each one.
11
I'm in my second year now.
12
Last year I worked in planning, safety and administration.
13
Now I'm working in the environmental department.
14
And next I'm going to be working in services.
15
I do three days a week in the office or on site doing a normal job.
16
Then for two days per week we have lectures and classes at the company's offices.
17
They take on 12 a year, so at the moment there are, I guess, just under 50 of us altogether, over the four different year groups.
18
Then the 12 people in my year are divided equally among the three departments.
19
So there are three other people currently working in the environmental department with me.
20
The 12 people in my year group meet up together on study days and we learn the same things.
21
Well, I agreed with the company to work for them for three years after I finished the training.
22
But that's okay.
23
I can decide which department I work in.
24
So far, my favourite department to work in has been planning.
25
So I might work in that.
26
There are opportunities to work abroad too.
27
The company does a lot of projects in Indonesia, so I'd like to go there.
28
After those three years, I don't know.

Zinnen om te herhalen

Korte, volledige zinnen uit de video die je in alledaagse gesprekken kunt gebruiken:

  • It's the best of both worlds, I think.
  • I'm in my second year now.
  • After those three years, I don't know.

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 5 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, don't, I'd. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: apprenticeship /əˈpɹɛn.tɪs.ʃɪp/, construction /kənˈstɹʌkʃən/, administration /ədˌmɪn.ɪˈstɹeɪ.ʃən/, finish /ˈfɪnɪʃ/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: altogether /ɔl.tuˈɡɛð.ɚ/, apprenticeship /əˈpɹɛn.tɪs.ʃɪp/, environmental /ənˌvaɪ.ɚnˈmɛn.təl/, opportunity /ˌɒp.əˈtjuː.nɪ.tɪ/, administration /ədˌmɪn.ɪˈstɹeɪ.ʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: abroad /əˈbɹɔːd/, divide /dɪˈvaɪd/, decide /dɪˈsaɪd/, expensive /ɪkˈspɛnsɪv/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: unhappy /ʌnˈhæpi/, magazine /ˌmæɡəˈziːn/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: altogether /ɔl.tuˈɡɛð.ɚ/, agree /əˈɡɹi/, magazine /ˌmæɡəˈziːn/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als abroad, equally, lecture.

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.
