A little busy but very happy.
15
The weather is beautiful today, isn't it?
16
Oh yes, it is very sunny.
17
It makes me want to go outside.
18
But first, we have work to do.
19
Yes, we do.
20
Today we have a very important topic.
21
It is something many people ask about.
22
Ooh, I'm curious.
23
What is the topic for today?

Today we're talking about job interviews, specifically how to introduce yourself when you want a new job.

Wow, that is a big topic, Hemely, a very important one.
26
Many people feel nervous about interviews.

Yes, they do.

42
Thank you, Paul.
43
Okay, let's start.
44
Imagine you're at an office, you're sitting in a chair, you are waiting for the boss.
45
Oh, my heart is beating fast just thinking about it.
46
Don't be nervous, Paul.
47
The first part of a job interview is always the same.
48
The boss says, Hello, please tell me about yourself.
49
Ah, yes.
50
The famous question.
51
Tell me about yourself.
52
It is simple, but it is hard to answer.
53
It is.
54
Many people don't know what to say.
55
Should they talk about their cat, their favorite movie, their breakfast?
56
Probably not their breakfast.
57
This is a job interview.
58
You need to talk about your work and your skills.
59
Right.
60
Think of it like a small story.
61
A story about you and your job.
62
So, where do we start the story?
63
Start with a greeting and your name.
64
It is simple but important.
65
Hello, my name is Emily.
66
And a smile.
67
Remember our last episode?
68
A smile is very important for confidence.
69
Yes, smile and look at the person.
70
Then you can say where you are from.
71
I am from London or I am from Brazil.
72
Okay.
73
Name, city, and then what?
74
Then you talk about your job, your profession.
75
Hmm.
76
There are so many professions.
77
Let's give some examples for our listeners.
78
Good idea.
79
Let's start with a teacher.
80
Paul, imagine you are a teacher.
81
How do you say it?
82
Okay.
83
I can say, I am a teacher.
84
I have five years of experience.
85
I love helping students learn.
86
That is perfect.
87
Experience is a great word.
88
It means how long you did the job.
89
Yes.
90
Five years, ten years, or maybe one year.
91
It is all experience.
92
What about a doctor?
93
A doctor can say, I am a doctor.
94
I work in a big hospital.
95
I help people feel better.
96
That is very clear.
97
How about a nurse?
98
A nurse can say, I am a nurse.
99
I am very organized and I care about my patients.
100
Organized is a very good word for a job interview.
101
Bosses love organized people.
102
They really do.
103
What about someone who works with food, like a chef?
104
A chef can say, I am a chef.
105
I love cooking delicious food.
106
I work well in a busy kitchen.
107
I work well in a busy kitchen.
108
That is a strong sentence.
109
It shows you are not scared of hard work.
110
Exactly.
111
Let's think of more.
112
How about a driver, a delivery driver, or a bus driver?
113
A driver can say, I am a driver.
114
I am very punctual, and I know the city very well.
115
Punctual.
116
That is a fancy word for A1 level, but very useful.
117
It means always on time.
118
Yes, if you are a driver, you must be on time.
119
Bosses love that.
120
What if someone works in an office, like an assistant or a receptionist?
121
They can say, I am an office assistant.
122
I am good with computers, and I like talking to customers.
123
Good with computers is a skill.
124
It is important to mention your skills.
125
What if I don't have a job now?
126
What if I am a student?
127
That's okay.
128
You can say, I am a student.
129
I study engineering.
130
I am very hardworking and I want to learn.
131
I want to learn.
132
That is a great thing to say.
133
It shows you have energy.
134
Yes.
135
Bosses like people who want to learn.
136
Let's try an engineer.
137
An engineer can say, I am an engineer.
138
I like solving problems and building new things.
139
Solving problems.
140
That is a very important skill for many jobs.
141
It is.
142
Okay, let's look at the structure again.
143
Name, profession, experience or skill, and maybe one more thing.
144
Why you are there.
145
Ah, yes.
146
I want to work for this company because I like your work.
147
Perfect.
148
It shows you know the company.
149
Let's try some more jobs.
150
What about a sales assistant?
151
in a clothes shop or a supermarket.
152
A sales assistant can say, I am a sales assistant.
153
I am very friendly and I like helping people find what they need.
154
Friendly.
155
That is key for sales.
156
What about a waiter or a waitress?
157
They can say, I am a waiter.
158
I have two years of experience in restaurants.
159
I am very fast and I always smile.
160
A waiter who smiles is the best waiter.
161
I agree.
162
How about a mechanic, someone who fixes cars?
163
A mechanic can say, I am a mechanic.
164
I am very good with my hands and I can fix many types of cars.
165
Good with my hands.
166
I like that expression.
167
It is very natural.
168
It is.
169
What about a photographer?
170
A photographer can say, I am a mechanic.
171
I am a photographer.
172
I take beautiful photos for weddings and parties.

188
That is a very good question.
189
If you forget a word, just stay calm.
190
Take a breath.
191
Can I say, I am sorry, I am a little nervous?
192
Yes, it is okay to say that.
193
It is human.
194
The boss will understand.
195
And I can use simple words, right?
196
I don't need big, difficult words.
197
No, you don't.
198
Simple is better.
199
Clear is better.
200
I am a hard worker is better than a long, confusing sentence.
201
I am a hard worker.
202
I like that.
203
It is short and true.
204
Exactly.
205
Another good tip is to practice at home.

OK.
287
So we have the introduction, we have the professions, we have the skills.
288
What happens at the end of the interview?
289
Usually, the boss says, Thank you, Paul.
290
Do you have any questions for me?
291
Oh, questions.
292
Should I ask about the money?
293
Maybe not in the first minute.
294
A good question is, What is a typical day like here?
295
Ah, what is a typical day like?
296
It shows you are interested in the work.
297
Yes, or how big is the team?
298
That is a good one too.
299
It shows you want to work with other people.
300
Right.
301
And then you say, thank you for your time.
302
Have a nice day.
303
And you stand up, you smile, and you walk out with confidence.
304
Exactly.
305
See?
306
It is not so scary.
307
You make it sound easy, Emily.
308
It takes practice, Paul.
309
But everyone can do it.
310
professional was a beginner one day.
311
That is very true.
312
I remember my first job.
313
I was so nervous.
314
I was a cleaner in a school.
315
Really?
316
A cleaner?
317
Yes.
318
I can say I am a cleaner.
319
I am very fast and I make everything shine.
320
I make everything shine.
321
That is a perfect sentence for a cleaner.
322
It was a good job.
323
I learned a lot about being on time.
324
See?
325
Every job gives you experience, even if it is a small job.
326
Exactly.
327
Okay, Emily, I think we gave our listeners a lot of good things to think about.
328
I think so, too.
329
We talked about how to start, what to say, and we gave many examples of jobs.
330
Should we remember the main points together?
331
Yes, let's do that.
332
It was a fun conversation.
333
I remember we said to start with a hello and a big smile.
334
That is the first step for confidence.
335
Yes, and then your name and where you are from.
336
It's simple and friendly.
337
Right.
338
And then the most important part, your job and your experience.
339
Like when we said, I am a teacher or I am a chef.
340
And don't forget the skills.
341
Bosses love words like organized, punctual, and hardworking.
342
Oh, and my favorite part was solving problems.
343
That is a great skill for an engineer or anyone.
344
Yes.
345
And we said it's okay to be a little nervous.
346
You can even tell the boss.
347
It makes you feel more relaxed.
348
And at the end, say thank you and ask a simple question about the day at work.
349
Perfect!
350
You remembered everything, Paul.
351
Well, it was a very interesting chat.
352
I feel like I am ready for an interview now.
353
But you already have a job here, Paul. That is true.
354
And I love my job at Mr. English Channel.

362
And before we go, we want to hear from you.
363
Yes, we do.
364
We have a question for the comments.
365
Tell us, what is your job or what is your dream job?
366
Yes, practice your introduction in the comments.
367

Почему стоит практиковать разговорный английский с помощью этого видео?
В этом видео рассматривается ситуация, с которой сталкиваются многие люди – собеседование на работу. Практика разговорного английского в таком контексте позволит вам не только улучшить свои языковые навыки, но и уверенность в себе при общении с работодателями. Очень важно уметь правильно представлять себя, так как это первое впечатление, которое вы производите на собеседника. Используя метод shadowspeak или shadow speech, вы сможете повторять за спикерами, слушая их интонацию и структуру фраз. Это улучшит ваше произношение и поможет активизировать заученные конструкции в реальных ситуациях.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В обсуждаемом видео спикеры использовали несколько ключевых фраз, которые полезны для собеседования:
- "Please tell me about yourself." – Эта фраза часто используется на собеседованиях, она задает направление разговора.
- "I am (doing) very well, thank you." – Правильное использование данного выражения помогает вам начать разговор в дружелюбном ключе.
- "I am excited to be here." – Эмоциональная окраска вашей речи придадут уверенности и покажет вашу заинтересованность.
Осваивая такие конструкции, вы сможете легко ответить на вопросы во время собеседования и использовать их в повседневной жизни.
Распространенные трудности произношения
Некоторые слова и выражения из видео могут быть сложными для произнесения. Внимание на такие фразы, как "interview" и "introduce", поможет избежать акцентов. Попробуйте произносить их медленно и четко, а затем увеличьте скорость. Методы учить английский с YouTube и практика разговорного английского в формате shadowing английский отлично подойдут для этой цели. Периодическая практика поможет вам улучшить свою pronunciation и уверенность в разговоре.
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.
