3
Work and study.

For this video though we're focusing just on the study side of things.

You'll hear two full mock interviews, one from Lucius and another from Isabel.

8
All right, let's jump in and start with Lucius.

I study at the University of Melbourne.
14
It's quite a big campus and the facilities are really modern, especially the computer labs.

To be honest, I chose computer science mainly because it's practical and has good job prospects.
17
I've always been decent with computers and I wanted to study something that would lead to a stable career.

19
Is it a popular subject in your country?
20
Yeah, computer science is really popular in my country.
21
A lot of students are getting into IT because there are so many opportunities in that field now.
22
That's actually one of the reasons I decided to study it in Australia.
23
The universities here have a good reputation for tech courses, and I wanted to get some international experience at the same time.
24
What do you like most about your studies?
25
What I like most is that I'm actually learning things I can use in real life.
26
A lot of our projects are quite hands-on, so instead of just reading about theories, we actually get to apply them.
27
It's nice to see that what I'm studying could really come in handy later on.
28
What do you dislike about your studies?
29
Honestly, the amount of assignments can be pretty stressful.
30
Sometimes everything's due around the same time, and it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day.
31

My favorite course is probably web development.

53
Do you plan to continue your studies in the future?
54
To be honest, I don't plan to study further once I finish my degree.
55
I feel that university has given me enough of a foundation, and I'd rather gain some real-world experience.
56
I think working in the industry will teach me things that you just can't learn from textbooks.
57
What would you like to do after you graduate?
58
Ideally, I'd like to work as a software developer at a tech company.
59
Eventually, I'd love to start my own business.

62
Now, let's switch over and hear from Isabel, a business and management student in Paris.
63

65
I also do a few small internships occasionally to get some real-world experience while I'm still studying.
66
What do you study?
67

68
I've always been interested in how companies operate and what makes them successful, and I thought studying it in an international setting would give me a broader perspective.
69

I study at a business school in central Paris.
71
The campus isn't huge, but it's modern and most classes are interactive, which makes it easier to learn practical skills, not just theory.

I chose business and management mainly because it's practical and opens a lot of career options.

76
Is it a popular subject in your country?
77
Yes, it's quite popular.
78
A lot of students back home study business because it's seen as a safe career choice and it offers opportunities both locally and abroad.
79
That's part of why I wanted to study it internationally to experience a different approach to business.
80
What do you like most about your What I like most is that our courses are very practical.

82
I also enjoy the interactive workshops.

They make learning much more engaging than just reading textbooks.
84
What do you dislike about your studies?
85

92
I'd say the most difficult part is keeping up with lectures and assignments in a language that isn't my first.
93
Even though my English is pretty good, sometimes it takes extra effort to fully understand all the concepts and express my ideas clearly in essays or presentations.
94
What kind of university do you go to?
95
It's a private business school that focuses on international management.
96
The classes are small and interactive, so you really get to know your teachers and classmates, which makes learning more personal.

101
Are you friends with many of your classmates?
102
Not really, to be honest.
103
Most of my classmates are quite busy with their own work.
104
and since we come from different countries, it's sometimes hard to find common ground.
105
But I do collaborate with them on projects and we chat occasionally so it's not completely isolated.
106
Do you plan to continue your studies in the future?
107
Not immediately.
108
I'd like to start working after I graduate to gain some experience in the business world.
109
Later on, I might consider a specialised master's.
110
But for now, I want practical experience.
111
What would you like to do after you graduate?
112
I'd like to work in an international company, preferably in management or consulting.
113
Eventually I hope to take on a leadership role and maybe even start my own business one day.
114
And that was Isabel with her full set of responses.
115
Now that we've heard both Lucius and Isabel, let's take a step back and look at how you can build your own answers.
116
We'll focus on four key questions, what you study, the challenges you face, what a typical day looks like and your future plans.
117
Let's start with the first one, talking about what you study.
118
When the examiner asks this, don't just list your subjects.
119
Try to show direction.
120
Make a link between your current studies and your goals.
121
If you're still in high school, you could say something like, I'm in my final year of high school and I'm focusing on science and math to prepare for university entrance exams.
122
I'm hoping to study engineering next year.
123
It sounds natural, purposeful and shows that you have a plan.
124
If you are already at university, be specific about your major and the stage you're in.
125
For example, I'm a second year undergraduate studying architecture.
126
It's a creative but demanding programme and right now I'm working on several design projects for my studio course.
127
Challenges Every student faces challenges and being honest about them makes your answers feel realistic.
128
When the examiner asks what you dislike or find difficult, it's okay to be honest but try to stay balanced.
129
If you're In high school you might say, the hardest part is definitely exam season.
130
There's just so much to memorise and it gets stressful trying to stay focused.
131
I usually make a study schedule to keep things under control.
132
And if you're at university, the challenge might sound a bit different.
133
I'd say the most difficult part is writing long research papers.
134
It takes a lot of time to find reliable sources and structure the ideas clearly.
135
But I'm learning to plan better and break it down week by week.
136
A typical day, when you answer this question, try to give a clear picture of what your day actually looks like It helps the examiner imagine your life For example, if you're still in school, you might say
137
My classes usually run from 8 to 3 and after that I either stay for sports practice or go home to finish my homework I try to get everything done before dinner so I can relax a bit
138
And if you're at university, it could sound like this My mornings are mostly for lectures.
139
And I spend afternoons in the library or working on group projects.
140
In the evenings, I usually meet friends or review notes for the next day.
141
It's simple, but descriptive.
142
And that's what makes it natural.
143
Finally, talking about your future plans.
144
If you're still in school, your plans are likely about getting into university.
145
So you could say, after finishing high school, I want to study.
146
Economics at a good university.
147
I've always been interested in how markets work and I think it could lead to a stable career in finance.
148
If you are already at university focus on your next step.
149
You might say, after I graduate I'd like to work in a tech startup as a junior developer to gain real world experience before doing any further study.
150
And that wraps up our focus on the study side of the part one work and study topic.
151
In the next video we'll dive into the work side of this topic so make sure to check it out.

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.
