21
Oh?
22
Our topic is being tired?
23
No, not being tired.
24
Our topic is talking about your job.

That is a very important topic.

Yes, it is one of the first things people ask when they meet you.
28
What do you do?
29
Exactly!
30
It is a very common conversation.
31

That is true.
33
So today, we will make it easy.

So, what do you do?
59
Ah, that is the magic question.
60
What do you do?
61
Yes.
62
Listeners, notice that I did not say, "What is your job?" I said, "What do you do?" Yes.
63
"What do you do?" is the most natural way to ask.
64
It means, "What is your profession?" Exactly.
65
So, Paul, What do you do?
66
Well, Emily, I am a podcast host, and I am a teacher.
67
I know, and you are a very good teacher.
68
Thank you.
69
And what about you?

I am a + your job.
78
I am a doctor.
79
I am a driver.
80
I am a student.
81
Perfect.
82
But, Paul, sometimes people get confused with the little words like in or at or for.
83
Oh yes, the prepositions.
84
They are tricky.
85
They can be.
86
But let's look at them.
87
If you want to In.
88
Okay, so I work in a school.
89
Yes.
90
Or I work in an office.
91
I work in a hospital.
92
I work in a restaurant.
93
Exactly.
94
It describes the building or the room.
95
Okay, what about at?
96
At is also used for places.
97
It is very similar.
98
I work at a bank.
99
I work at the airport.
100
In and at are very close.
101
Yes.
102
Usually both are okay.
103
But here is a special one. For. For.
104
I work for.
105
You use for when you talk about the company name.
106
Ah, I see.
107
So, I work for Google.
108
Yes.
109
Or, I work for Amazon.
110
Or, I work for Mr. English Channel.
111
for the best channel on the internet.
112
Correct.
113
So you can say, I am a manager.
114
I work in an office.
115
I work for a big company.
116
That is a very good full answer.
117
It gives a lot of information.
118
Yes, it is much better than just saying one word.
119
Okay, I have a question.
120
What if I don't have a job What do I say?
121
You can say, I am looking for a job, or I am between jobs.
122
Between jobs?
123
That sounds very polite.
124
It is.
125
It means you finished one job, and you are looking for the next one.
126
And what if I am a student, or if I stay home with my children?
127
Then you say, I am a student, Stay at home dad.
128
That is a very important job too.
129
The most important job.
130
Yes.
131
Okay, so we know how to say our job title and where we work.
132
Now let's talk about describing the job.
133
Is it good?
134
Is it bad?
135
Adjectives.
136
I love adjectives.
137
Me too.
138
They add color to your English.
139
Paul, tell me about an old job you had.
140
Before you were a teacher.
141
Hmm.
142
Let me think.
143
Long ago, I was a waiter.
144
A waiter in a restaurant?
145
Yes, in a busy pizza restaurant.
146
Oh, wow.
147
Did you like it?
148
Well, the pizza was delicious.
149
That is a benefit.
150
But the job was It was tiring.
151
Tiring.
152
That is a good word.
153
It means it makes you tired.
154
Yes.
155
I walked and walked all day.
156
My feet hurt.
157
It was very tiring.
158
I can imagine.
159
Was it difficult?
160
It was not difficult, but it was stressful.
161
Stressful.
162
Listeners, stressful means you feel stress.
163
Maybe too many things are happening at the same time.
164
Yes, the customers were hungry.
165
"Where is my pizza?
166
I want water!
167
This is cold !" It was very stressful.
168
Oh, poor Paul.
169
So being a waiter can be tiring and stressful.
170
Yes, but it was also fun.
171
Fun?
172
why because of my colleagues ah colleagues
173
that is a great word colleagues are the people you work
174
with yes my co -workers my colleagues were very funny we laughed a lot in the kitchen

176
Tell me about an old job you had, before you were a teacher.
177

178
When I was younger, I worked in a shop.
179
A clothing store.
180
Oh.
181
Did you like it?
182
It was okay.
183
It was very easy.
184
Easy is good.
185
Sometimes.
186
But sometimes it was boring.
187
Boring.
188
Why?
189
Because sometimes there were no customers.
190
I just stood there.
191
I looked at the clothes.
192
I looked at the clock.
193
Tick.
194
Talk.

200
stressful, boring, and fun, Interesting.

Creative.
202
Those are great words to use.
203
Now, Paul, let's talk about time.
204
Time?
205

206
What time is it?
207
No. I mean your work schedule.
208
How many hours do you work?
209
Ah, I see.
210
Well, most people work full -time.
211
Full -time.
212
What does that mean?
213
Usually it means about 40 hours a week.
214
You work every day, from Monday to Friday.
215
Yes, the classic 9 -to -5 job.
216
Exactly.
217
You start at 9 a .m and finish at 5 p .m.
218
part -time.
219
Part -time.
220
That means you work fewer hours, maybe only three days a week, or only in the mornings.
221
Yes.
222
Students often work part -time.
223
And I worked part -time when I was a waiter.
224
There is another word we hear a lot now.
225
Remote.
226
Ooh, remote or working from home.
227
Yes.
228
Since the pandemic, many people work from home.
229
They don't go to the office.
230
That is very comfortable.
231
You can work in your pajamas.
232
Yes, but you still have to work.
233
True.
234
So you can say, I work remotely or I work from home.
235
Precisely.
236
It is a very modern way to work.
237
Emily, I have a fun question for you.
238
I like fun questions.
239
What is your dream job?
240
My dream job.

246
I love talking to you and our listeners.
247
Oh, me too. But imagine.
248
Something crazy.
249
Okay.
250
If I could be anything, I think I would be a travel writer.
251
A travel writer.
252
Wow.
253
Yes.
254
I would travel to beautiful countries, eat delicious food, and write stories about it.
255
That sounds amazing.
256
No office, just the world.
257
What about you, Paul?
258
What is your dream job?
259
Paul: Hmm.
260
I think I would like to be a pilot.
261
A pilot?
262
Flying airplanes?
263
Paul: Yes, I love to fly.
264
I want to see the clouds from above and say, Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
265
This is your captain speaking.
266
You have a very good pilot voice, Paul.
267
Thank you.
268
But I think being a teacher is safer.
269
Probably.
270
Talking about dream jobs is a great way to practice English with friends.
271
It is.
272
You can ask, "What is your dream job?" It starts a fun conversation.
273
Definitely.
274
Okay, Paul, let's review what we learned today.
275
It was a lot.
276
Yes, we learned how to answer, "What do you do?" I am a teacher.

279
I work in an office.
280
I work for a company.
281
We learned adjectives.
282
My job is busy.
283
My job is interesting.
284
My job is tiring.
285
And we learned about schedules: full -time, part -time, and remote.
286
You see?
287
It is not so scary.
288
You just need these simple pieces.
289
I feel much more confident now.
290
I can tell everyone about my job.
291
That is the goal.
292
And remember, Keep it simple.
293
Short sentences are perfect.

I work in the city.
296
Simple and clear.
297
Exactly.
298

Контекст и фон

В этом видео мы познакомимся с темой, которая интересует многих изучающих английский язык: как говорить о своей профессии. Ведущие Эмили и Пол обсуждают важность умения отвечать на вопросы о своей работе, что часто становится первой темой разговора при встрече новых людей. Они делятся личным опытом и подчеркивают, что несмотря на усталость от работы, важно находить радость и удовлетворение в том, что делаешь.

Топ-5 фраз для повседневного общения

  • What do you do? – Это самый распространенный вопрос на встречах. Он помогает начать разговор о профессии.
  • I like my work. – Выражение, показывающее положительное отношение к своей работе.
  • I was working late last night. – Фраза, которая может помочь объяснить свою усталость и добавить глубину к разговору.
  • Work can make us very tired. – Такой комментарий может вызвать сочувствие и понимание собеседника.
  • That is good to hear. – Полезная фраза для поддержания разговора, когда кто-то делится своим опытом о работе.

Пошаговое руководство по теневому разговору

Чтобы уверенно говорить о своей профессии на английском, воспользуйтесь методом теневого разговора. Это позволит вам не только выучить фразы, но и улучшить произношение и интонацию. Вот несколько шагов, чтобы успешно справиться с этим:

  1. Слушайте внимательно. Начните с прослушивания видео и запишите ключевые фразы.
  2. Повторяйте за диктором. При использовании подхода shadowspeak старайтесь подражать интонации и ритму. Это поможет вам почувствовать язык.
  3. Запишите себя. Сравните свое произношение с оригиналом, чтобы выявить области для улучшения.
  4. Практикуйте с партнером. Найдите собеседника и попробуйте применить выученные фразы в разговоре, рассказывая друг другу о своих профессиях.
  5. Регулярно повторяйте. Участвуйте в ежедневной практике, учите английский с YouTube и делайте теневые упражнения каждый день, чтобы закрепить навыки.

Следуя этим рекомендациям, вы сможете уверенно и свободно говорить о своей работе на английском языке. Не забывайте, что теневое произношение (shadow speech) – это ключ к успеху в изучении языка!

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.
