Now turn to part three, questions fourteen to nineteen.
2
You will hear a young woman who has applied for an office job talking about her jobs abroad.
3
For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space.
4
You now have twenty seconds to look at part three.
5
Now we are ready to start.
6
Listen carefully.
7
You will hear the recording twice.
8
Hello, Miss Brownlow.
9
Come and sit down.
10
Now, I'd like you to tell me more about the two years you spent abroad after leaving school.
11
Oh, right.
12
Well, um, I decided to go abroad to see the world.
13
I only intended staying for six months, but in the end, I stayed two years.
14
First of all, I worked for a family.
15
I looked after their three children, all under the age of ten, so I was kept very busy.
16
I really liked the family, but after six months I was ready for a change, although I didn't want to come home.
17
Then I applied for a job in a hotel as a receptionist.
18
That way I could still practice my languages.
19
And it was really good because I had my own room in the hotel
20
and I had all my meals there as well.
21
And then the hotel closed down.
22
But the manager offered me a job in a bakery.
23
It belonged to his brother, and I worked there for almost a year.
24
At the beginning it was really hard because I had to get up so early in the morning, around four o'clock every day.
25
But once I got used to that, it was great, because I'd finished work by two o'clock in the afternoon, and the rest of the time was my own.
26
But my parents thought I ought to come home and get a proper job.
27
I suppose they were right.
28
So that's when I applied for the job with the Bank International, in their foreign department, and so I continued to use my languages.
29
You've had quite a lot of experience, haven't you?
30
Now, if I could ask you...
31
Now listen again.
32
Hello, Miss Brownlow.
33

O que você vai aprender com esse vídeo

Esse diálogo é perfeito para aprimorar duas habilidades essenciais: a compreensão de conversas informais (como entre um entrevistador e um candidato) e a capacidade de identificar detalhes práticos (como tipos de trabalho, duração e rotinas). Além disso, você vai treinar a shadowing em inglês — uma técnica poderosa para melhorar a fluência — ao repetir frases como "I only intended staying for six months" com a mesma velocidade e entonação da falante.

Ouvir atentamente: sons conectados e reduções

Na conversa, note como as palavras se "juntam" no inglês falado. Por exemplo, "I'd like you to tell" se torna "I'd like ya to tell" (com a redução de "you" para "ya") e "it was really hard" soa como "it wuz really hard" (com a redução de "was" para "wuz"). Essas ligações e reduções são chave para entender falantes nativos. Pratique ouvindo essas partes repetidamente e use o shadowspeak para imitá-las: ouça uma frase, pause e repita imediatamente, tentando copiar o fluxo.

Fale como um nativo: ritmo e ênfase

A jovem falante usa um ritmo natural, com ênfase em palavras importantes como "two years", "three children" e "four o'clock". Para mirrorar isso, preste atenção nas sílabas destacadas: em "receptionist", a ênfase está em "cep" (re-CEP-tionist), e em "bakery", em "ba" (BA-ker-y). Use a técnica de shadow speak para treinar: reproduza a fala da speaker no mesmo tempo, focando no ritmo (não acelere, mas siga o fluxo) e na entonação (a voz sobe em perguntas e desce em afirmações). Essa prática de conversação em inglês vai fazer você ganhar confiança rapidamente!

Com essas dicas, você não só entende melhor o inglês falado como também aprende a falar com mais naturalidade. Lembre: o shadowing em inglês é sobre pequenos passos constantes — e esse vídeo é o começo de sua jornada para falar como um nativo. Vamos praticar?

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.
