Criando lição...
1
Bosses at the marketing company I was working for require all graduate trainees to do an MBA
2
when they reach a certain level.
3
I set out intending to return to work with more well -rounded business skills, But it actually proved a real opportunity to stop and think.
4
I met my future business partner on the course and we had the same idea.
5
giving businesswomen a more fashionable alternative to wearing suits.
6
The course was a real springboard.
7
We acquired essential skills, worked on our business plan and, crucially, built up a valuable network of contacts.
8
We've been running our business full time for six months now, and it's the best thing that could have happened.
9
Speaker 2.
10
I'm an international account manager and I wanted to move up the ranks in the company, so I signed up for a part -time business management course to gain a further qualification.
11
I quickly found I could apply the things I learned to my job
12
and talk to my fellow students about challenges I was facing at work, and they'd help me find solutions.
13
I soon got a job offer with an IT company as a result of my networking and now travel the world
14
Only due to the skills I've learned, and partly because of the people I've encountered, their advice and introductions have been a key factor in my success.
15
Speaker 3.
16
I was already working for a healthcare business when I did my MBA.
17
On the course I bumped into a surgeon who told me he needed a tool to help with brain scanning.
18
I explored the feasibility of producing it, created it and then put together a plan.
19
A year down the line, I've graduated.
20
The technology's just been approved by neurologists and it's all going well.
21
So I'm really glad I did it.
22
The fact is, I'd been thinking for some time about setting up my own company.
23
And the course seemed an ideal way to find out more about how to do this.
24
How to work with companies to identify markets and opportunities, for example.
25
Speaker 4:
26
I was involved with securing financial assistance for disabled people for many years
27
and I felt I needed a break and an opportunity to step back from it.
28
So I decided to do the course with a view to
29
helping people to help themselves rather than having to rely on people like me.
30
On the course, I learned the hard skills like finance, but also cultivated soft skills,
31
including how to interact with people from different backgrounds, massively boosting my confidence.
32
Getting a qualification has given me the push to work on an idea I cherish since my teenage years:
33
setting up an online help forum.
34
It's not my job, but it does take up a lot of my time.
35
Speaker 5.
36
I was languishing as an out -of -work graduate when I decided to give the course a go, hoping it might open a few doors for me.
37
I had my degree in English, but I'd never taken any business courses before.
38
My only regret is, I wish business school had taught me more about office politics.
39
One thing I had to learn in the real world, is that you can't logically explain your way into a promotion.
40
you have to befriend your way to success.
41
The qualification I gained was indispensable, however, as it gave me my first real opportunity of a position in what turned out to be
42
A great organization where I'm still employed today.
43
Now you'll hear part 4 again.

Dicas de prática: shadowing em inglês

O shadowing (ou "shadow speak") é uma técnica comprovada para melhorar a pronúncia, a intonação e a fluência. No vídeo, as falas são moderadas, com pausas naturais, o que facilita a imitação. Siga estes passos: 1. Reproduza um trecho de 10-15 segundos e pause. 2. Repita a fala imediatamente, copiando o ritmo, a entonação e até os gestos (se houver). 3. Aumente a velocidade gradualmente, até igualar a do vídeo. 4. Foque nas frases com conectivos, como "but" ou "so", que dão fluidez à fala. Lembre-se: o shadowing em inglês não é apenas repetir, mas se tornar um "espelho" da fala nativa. Pratique diariamente por 10 minutos, e você notará uma melhora na confiança e na clareza da sua pronúncia. Essa técnica, também conhecida como shadow speech, é usada por profissionais de idiomas para alcançar fluência natural.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
