7.1 Simon When I was about 30,

I got a job as an editor in a publishing company.

It was my first office job, and I didn't really know what to wear.

But for the interview, I wore a suit.

In fact, I bought the suit specially for the interview.

I got the job, so I thought that must be okay.

So, on the first day, I went to work wearing a suit and tie.

I got to work early.

I wanted to make a good impression, and I was the first person in the office.

So I went in, I found my desk with my name on it, and I sat down.

And there were a few papers and documents for me to read, so I started reading those.

I turned on my computer and after about 10, 15 minutes, the other people in the office started to arrive.

And I noticed that nobody else was wearing a suit.

And I thought, okay, it's not a big problem.

So I introduced myself to the other people.

I said, hello, how are you?

Hello, pleased to meet you

and the next thing someone said to me was my computer's

really slow do you think you know what the problem is

and I said no no not really

so then I introduced myself to somebody else

and said hello nice to meet you

and she replied hello nice to meet you

and then she said do you know how I can connect my computer to the printer.

And I said, no, I have no idea how to do that.

Anyway, I went back to work and about half an hour later I had a meeting with my boss.

And she said, how's it going?

And I said, yeah, it's all good.

Well, everybody seems really nice.

Um, just one thing.

Why does everybody think I can fix their computer?

And she looked at me and what I was wearing, and she said, it's your suit.

Nobody in this office ever wears a suit.

So they think you're from the IT department and you've come to help with a computer problem.

They're the only ones who wear suits.

So, I never wore it again, to this day.

It was my first day at work as a teacher at a language school.

And they asked me to come the first week of term to observe some teachers, to watch their lessons.

and then I was going to start teaching the following week.

But when I arrived there, they told me that one of the teachers was ill

and they asked me to take the class and it was three-year-old kids.

So I was in a class with about ten three-year-olds who were running around.

My boss gave me a storybook to read to them but the kids couldn't speak any English.

I'd never taught, or never been trained to teach children that small.

I tried to read the book to two of them

but the others were running around shouting and hitting each other

and at the worst possible moment just

when all of them were being really noisy

and not doing anything I was telling them to my boss the director of the school opened the door

and just looked at me I felt terrible

but then she said these children are too young for you aren't they and I said yes I was nearly crying

luckily after that she never gave me any classes with really young children

but it was the most stressful class I've ever tried to teach

О этом уроке

В этом уроке вы потренируете практику разговорного английского, используя реальные истории о первых днях на работе. Вы узнаете, как описывать эмоции, ситуации и неожиданные проблемы, а также улучшите восприятие разговорной речи. Это отличная возможность для улучшения произношения английского через живые диалоги, которые отражают повседневные ситуации.

Ключевой вокабуляр и фразы

To make a good impression — произвести хорошее впечатление
IT department — отдел информационных технологий
To observe lessons — наблюдать за уроками
To run around — бегать по комнате
To fix a computer — починить компьютер
To connect to the printer — подключиться к принтеру

Советы по практике

Для эффективной тренировки используйте метод shadow speech (или shadowing английский). Сначала прослушайте фрагмент видео, затем повторите его сразу же, копируя интонацию и темп. Диалог в видео имеет естественный, средний темп, поэтому это идеально для начинающих. Обратите внимание на паузы и эмоциональную окраску — например, когда Симон говорит о неожиданности с костюмом, его речь становится немного юмористичной. Повторяйте фразы like “I never wore it again, to this day” несколько раз, чтобы научиться передавать такие нюансы. Это поможет не только улучшить произношение английского, но и сделать речь более естественной. Не бойтесь ошибок — главное, практиковаться регулярно, и вы скоро заметите прогресс!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
