Good morning.

How can I help you?

Good morning.

We're here to see Diane Kennedy at 10 o'clock.

Can I have your names, please?

Yes, it's John Carter and Paul Rogers from Australian Power Utilities.

Here's my business card.

Thank you.

I'll just call Miss Kennedy.

Thank you.

And can you complete these security forms, please? Of course.

Excuse me, can I have a pen?

Here you are.

Diane, I have Mr Rogers and Mr Carter in reception for you.

Right.

Thank you.

Please, could you wear these visitors' badges?

Someone will come down to get you in a moment.

Please, have a seat.

Thanks.

Okay.

Excuse me, are you John Carter and Paul Rogers?

Yes, we are.

I'm John Carter, and this is my colleague, Paul Rogers.

Hello, I'm Jasmine Goodman.

Oh.

Hi.

Diane Kennedy asked me to meet you.

Welcome to Lois Engineering.

Thank you.

Come this way, please.

We need to take the lift, or as you say, elevator. To the third floor.

It's a great building.

Yes, it is.

It's a nice place to work.

So what do you do, Jasmine?

Oh, I'm Diane's personal assistant, so I answer the phone and manage her schedule.

Is she very busy then?

Yes.

She travels a lot.

I book all her plane tickets and hotels.

I see.

And do you travel with her sometimes?

No, not usually.

I stay here, and then I'm responsible for the office and deal with any problems.

You have a lot to do.

Yes.

And in meetings, of course, I take the minutes.

And you look after visitors to the company.

Yes, that's right.

Ah, here it is.

After you.

Thanks.

Here we are.

Can I take your coat?

Thank you.

Would you like to sit down?

I'm afraid Diane is still in a meeting.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Er...

Or a glass of water or juice?

I think I'd like some coffee, please.

Would you like milk and sugar?

Yes, please, both.

Thanks.

And how about you, Mr. Rogers?

Oh, please, call me Paul.

Uh, I'd like some orange juice, please.

Here you are, Paul.

Thanks very much.

I'm sorry you have to wait, but Diane should be here soon.

That's fine.

Don't worry.

So, how was your flight?

How was your flight?

Oh, it was fine, but we had to check in very early this morning at Frankfurt Airport.

Oh, yes.

Airport security takes such a long time these days.

How's the hotel?

Very nice.

Thank you for making the reservation for us.

My pleasure.

Is this your first time here?

Well, not to London, of course, but it's our first time to your company.

Yes, and we're very interested in your products.

Good.

How long are you staying in London?

A week.

What should we do at the weekend?

Um, do you like football?

You know, soccer?

Yes, very much.

Would you like to see a Chelsea match this weekend?

I could get you some tickets.

Thank you, that's a great idea.

Fantastic.

100

You're welcome.

101

By the way, I've made reservations for lunch for you and Diane at a French restaurant near here.

102

Is that okay?

103

Excellent.

104

Thank you.

105

That sounds great.

106

Good.

107

Well, I'll find out where Diane is and let her know you're here.

108

Fine.

109

Stupid rhino.

110

Here she is.

111

Diane, I'd like to introduce John Carter and Paul Rogers from Australian Power Utilities.

112

Nice to meet you.

113

Nice to meet you too, Miss Kennedy.

114

I'm John Carter.

115

Please, call me Diane.

116

Find Diane and I'm John.

117

This is my colleague Paul Rogers.

118

Pleased to meet you, Diane.

119

Pleased to meet you too, Paul.

120

And I see you've met my assistant Jasmine already.

121

I'm very sorry I'm late.

122

I'm afraid my last meeting went on for a while.

123

Oh, don't worry.

124

Jasmine took care of us.

125

Good.

126

So, please have a seat.

127

Thanks.

128

Jasmine Goodman?

129

Hello, Sally.

130

John Carter and Paul Rogers?

131

Yes, that's fine.

132

I'll come and get them.

133

Great.

134

Thanks very much, Sally.

135

Really?

136

That's amazing.

137

Jasmine, good to see you again.

138

Hello, Paul.

139

Hi, John.

140

Nice to see you again, too.

141

How are you, Jasmine?

142

I'm fine, thanks. And you?

143

Very well, thanks.

144

Have you checked into your hotel okay?

145

Yes, we have.

146

Good, good.

147

Thank you for organizing everything for us again.

148

No problem.

149

And this is a small present from our company to say thank you for all your help.

150

Aw, thank you very much.

151

That's really kind of you.

152

No worries.

153

I'll open it upstairs.

154

Ready to go up?

155

Yeah.

156

So, here's the schedule for the next two days.

157

Can I just run through it?

158

Yes, of course. Of course.

159

Alright, first of all, this afternoon you're meeting Chris Fox, the factory manager, together with Diane.

160

They want to show you the factory.

161

Interesting.

162

After Chris has given you the tour, Diane wants to show you some of our ideas for the new equipment and you can talk to some of our engineers.

163

And then Diane is taking you to dinner together with Mr. Harris, the managing director of Lois Engineering.

164

Sounds good.

165

Next, tomorrow morning at 9.30, Diane

166

and I are picking you up from your hotel to take you by car to our test facility just outside of London.

167

And you can see some of our equipment in action.

168

That'll be interesting.

169

I hope so.

170

While you're there, you're meeting the test manager, Jim Gibson, and he can show you everything.

171

Great!

172

I know Jim already, in fact.

173

Ah, good.

174

Finally, at about 4 o'clock, a taxi's picking you up from here and taking you to the airport.

175

Your flight back to Australia is at 7 o'clock, I think?

176

Yeah, that's right.

177

Well, that all sounds very well organised.

178

Thanks again, Jasmine.

179

You're welcome.

180

And I think that Diane can explain that later.

181

Just a moment.

182

Jasmine Goodman?

183

Oh, hello, Diane.

184

Yes, John and Paul are here already.

185

Oh dear.

186

Right.

187

Yes, I'll tell them.

188

No, don't worry.

189

Yes.

190

Yes, no problem.

191

Okay, well, I hope she's better soon.

192

Right.

193

Bye.

194

Bye.

195

Is there a problem?

196

Yes, I'm afraid there is.

197

That was Diane.

198

Her daughter's sick.

199

Nothing serious, I hope?

200

No, I don't think so.

201

But she does need to take her to the doctor.

202

I truly apologise but she can't come around the factory with you today.

203

So we need to adjust the schedule because she really wants to do that with you.

204

Okay.

205

So I want to move forward the visit to our test facility that we planned for tomorrow to today.

206

Alright.

207

And move back the visit to the factory to tomorrow so Diane can come as well.

208

She sends her apologies for changing the plan.

209

No problem.

210

And a dinner this evening.

211

Will you come as well, or is it just Mr. Harris?

212

Just Mr. Harris.

213

I'd love to come, but unfortunately I have to babysit for a friend this evening.

214

I'm really sorry.

215

And Diane is just in a short meeting with Mr. Harris.

216

She'll be here in five minutes to go with us to the factory.

217

But how was your visit to our test facility yesterday?

218

It was very interesting.

219

226

You can ask her later.

227

What did you think of the testing equipment for the pumps?

Por que praticar a fala com esse vídeo?

O vídeo "Collins English for Workplace 1" é uma ferramenta poderosa para a prática de conversação em inglês no contexto profissional. Ele simula um cenário real de recepção em uma empresa, com diálogos naturais e situações que você pode enfrentar no cotidiano de trabalho. Ao treinar com ele, você aprende a se comunicar de forma clara, conﬁante e apropriada, além de se familiarizar com expressões usadas no ambiente corporativo. Essa é a chance perfeita para aplicar técnicas como o shadow speech (imitação de fala), que ajuda a melhorar a pronúncia, a entonação e a fluência. Aprender inglês com vídeos como esse torna o estudo mais dinâmico e funcional, pois você vê as palavras em ação.

Gramática e expressões no contexto

O diálogo apresenta estruturas essenciais para interações profissionais. Veja algumas chaves:

Can I have your names, please?: Uma pergunta polida usada para solicitar informações. A estrutura "Can I have..." é mais educada do que "What's your name?" em contextos formais.
Could you wear these visitors' badges?: O verbo modal "could" aqui expressa uma solicitação gentil, comum em ambientes de trabalho. É uma alternativa mais respeitosa a "You need to wear...".
What do you do, Jasmine?: Uma pergunta clássica para saber sobre a função de alguém. A resposta "I'm Diane's personal assistant" usa a preposição "of" para indicar posse, uma estrutura básica mas fundamental.

Essas expressões são fáceis de memorizar e aplicar, tornando sua comunicação mais natural.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser desafiadoras para o aprendizado. Por exemplo:

Reception (receção): A pronúncia correta é /rɪˈsep.ʃən/, mas muitos aprendizes confundem o "p" com "b" ou acentuam a segunda sílaba. Use o shadowing em inglês para imitar a entonação do falante.
Utilities (utilidades): A palavra tem quatro sílabas (/juːˈtɪl.ə.tiz/), e o "t" no meio é suave. Evite pronunciá-la como "yutilidades" ou acentuar a primeira sílaba.
Schedule (agenda): Em inglês britânico, a pronúncia é /ˈʃedʒ.uːl/, enquanto no americano é /ˈskedʒ.uːl/. No vídeo, a versão britânica é usada, então preste atenção ao "sh" no início.

Praticar essas palavras com o shadowspeaks ajuda a superar essas armadilhas e a falar com mais precisão.

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

Estrutura	No vídeo
Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora	I've made · you've met · Have you checked
Conselho com “should” should + verbo — dizer o que é uma boa ideia	should be · should we do
Futuro com “will” will + verbo — uma decisão, promessa ou previsão	I'll just call · will come · I'll find
Obrigação: must / have to / need to dizer que algo é necessário	need to take · have to wait · had to check

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.
