Shadowing Practice: 12K - Learn English Speaking with Video

Good morning, Lucy!

I'm William, Head of Human Resources Department, and also your interviewer.

Good morning. William.

Thank you for inviting me.

So, Lucy, can you tell me a bit about yourself?

I graduated in Marketing, and I’ve been working as an assistant for two years.

Why are you interested in this role?

I really enjoy social media, and I want to work in a bigger company.

I feel like I can learn a lot here.

That's a good answer.

We love passionate people!

Thank you. I'm very excited about this opportunity.

And what would you say are your strengths?

I’m a quick learner, and I love to make new relationships.

I also have strong leadership skills.

And what do you think is your weakness?

My biggest weakness is that I can’t keep calm.

Sometimes I lose control over my reactions.

But I'm working on it.

Alright! Finally, why should we hire you?

I love challenges and I’m able to work under pressure.

Wonderful. Thank you for your time, Lucy.

We'll be in touch soon.

Thank you so much.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Anthony!

Welcome to the team. How are you feeling?

Thank you, John!

I’m a bit nervous… but I'm excited.

There’s a lot to take in!

That’s normal.

On the first day, everyone feels that way.

I hope that I don't make any mistakes.

Don't worry.

Just ask if you're not sure about anything.

We’re all here to help, and no one wants you to know everything right away.

Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better.

By the way, where is the meeting room?

Oh, it's right down the hall.

You’ll see a big sign above the door, so you can’t miss it.

Thanks! And what does “down the hall” mean exactly?

It just means to walk straight down this hallway.

The meeting room will be at the end on your left.

Got it. Thank you. John.

I’ll try to remember all this and do my best!

Just take it one step at a time.

Hi, everyone!

I’m Alex, and I just joined our marketing team.

Hope I can bring some good ideas to the table.

Welcome, Alex.

Where are you from?

I'm from Vinton, a village in Texas.

This is my first time working in a big city.

That's a big move.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I love hiking and photography.

Hiking? Nice!

We've got some great trails nearby.

But, wait… are you someone who hikes really early in the morning?

Not really! But I can get up early if I want to.

Besides, I didn’t move here to stay indoors.

We all like hiking, so you’re in good company!

We usually go on weekends when you have free time.

You can join us.

I’d love to!

Just not too early, okay?

Alright! Just let us know when you can join.

That sounds awesome.

I'm really happy to be here with all of you.

We’re glad to have you, Alex!

We're looking forward to working with you.

Hey, Tony. Could you help me with this report?

I'm not sure about some of the terms.

Sure, Vivian!

Which parts are confusing?

This one says “client feedback analysis.” What does that mean?

It means we listen to what customers say about our services and try to understand it.

Oh, I see! And this term “benchmarking”?

Benchmarking means comparing our results with other companies to see how we’re doing.

Thanks, Tony.

I was really lost.

No problem, Vivian!

It's always confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it.

I hope so. Thanks again.

Excuse me, can you help me?

I don't understand the email you sent.

What is "ASAP"?

Oh, "ASAP" means "as soon as possible." It's just a way to say something needs to be done quickly.

Ah, I see! Thank you.

I'm still learning some phrases.

No problem.

If you ever don’t understand something, just ask.

Thank you. And what does "CC" mean in emails?

"CC" stands for "Carbon Copy." It’s when you send an email to more than one person.

If you get an email that has “CC”, it means you’re getting the email, but you don’t have to reply.

Wow. The more I work, the more I need to learn.

Thank you for explaining!

Anytime, Carlos!

Oh no! I can't believe I sent the wrong file to the client!

100

It was the draft, not the final version.

101

Oops, that’s tough.

102

But, hey, don't stress too much.

103

These things happen to everyone.

104

I'm so embarrassed.

105

I’ve never made a mistake like this before.

106

Trust me, it's not the end of the world.

107

Just send them the correct file and say sorry for the mix-up.

108

They'll understand.

109

Just fix it and be honest.

110

I guess so.

111

I feel so awful.

112

I hate the idea of giving a bad impression.

113

I don't want them to think I'm careless.

114

I get it, but this doesn’t really say who you are.

115

I know you are normally careful with your work.

116

One mistake like this doesn’t change who you are.

117

Take a deep breath, okay?

118

You're right.

119

I'm probably overthinking it.

120

I’ll send them a quick message, apologize, and send the right file.

121

I just hope they won't be too upset.

122

Exactly. They'll accept that it's a mistake.

123

Clients deal with this stuff all the time.

124

They know things like this happen.

125

Thanks for calming me down.

126

No problem!

127

Now let's have a cup of coffee, shall we?

128

Lisa, I’m sorry for bothering you, but I really need your help!

129

Of course, Jake! What do you need help with?

130

So, Mr. Spencer asked me to set up for a meeting.

131

But I’ve never done it before...

132

No worries! When is the meeting?

133

Tomorrow afternoon.

134

What is it about?

135

It's about the government project.

136

How many people will be attending?

137

10 people. Alright! So, the first thing you need to do is to book a meeting room.

138

Ask Sasha. Tell her you need a room for 10 people.

139

Got it. Anything else?

140

The handouts. Do you have them yet?

141

I haven't printed them out yet.

142

Make sure to print enough copies for everyone.

143

It helps them follow along during the meeting.

144

Good point! I’ll do that.

145

What else do I need to do?

146

Did Mr. Spencer mention a break?

147

Yes. He said there would be a 15-minute break.

148

In that case, you should have some light snacks and drinks ready.

149

Where can I buy them?

150

Just tell Sasha. She will take care of them.

151

Got it. Oh, I almost forgot.

152

Make sure you have a list of the participants' allergies.

153

We don’t want to serve any allergic food!

154

Good point! I’ll do that.

155

What time should I arrive?

156

Arrive at least 15 minutes early to set everything up.

157

You want to be ready before people come in.

158

You’re right! Thank you so much!

159

You’re welcome!

160

Why are you guys here?

161

Because it's coffee time! Do you want to grab a cup?

162

Sure. So, did you hear about the new promotion?

163

No I didn't.

164

What promotion?

165

They are promoting Sarah to team leader.

166

I heard she did a great job on the last project.

167

That’s awesome! Sarah worked really hard.

168

She deserves it.

169

Yes, she does! I remember how she stayed late to finish that report.

170

Exactly! She always goes the extra mile.

171

I think she will be a great leader.

172

I agree. I’m excited to see how she will lead the team.

173

Do you think she will change anything in our meetings?

174

Maybe! I hope she keeps it fun and light.

175

Our meetings can be a bit boring sometimes.

176

Right! A little more energy would be nice.

177

Yes, I hope she brings new ideas too.

178

I think she will.

179

May I come in?

180

Oh, Jake! Sure, please sit down!

181

I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.

182

So may I know why you want to see me?

183

Of course. I want to talk to you.

184

What's on your mind?

185

So, Jake, I’ve noticed you haven’t been collaborating well.

186

Me? Why do you think so?

187

You haven’t been sharing your ideas with the team.

188

I thought I was doing my part.

189

Yes, I know. But Jake, this is a group project...

190

So? I sent out my part!

191

What I want to say is... collaborating on a group project is also important!

192

What do you mean by "important"?

193

We need your input on the whole project, not just your section.

194

I see. I didn’t realize it was an issue.

195

I thought I could just work alone.

196

Working alone can be hard.

197

We can help each other and come up with better ideas.

198

I see your point.

199

Well, I’ll try to communicate more with my team from now on!

200

That sounds good!

201

You can discuss everything together.

202

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll be more open to collaborating.

203

Great! We all want to succeed as a team.

204

Thank you. Have you heard? We’re getting a new boss today.

205

Really? I just started last week, so I didn’t know!

206

What’s he like?

207

Have you heard anything about him?

208

I heard a few things.

209

His name is Mark, and he has a lot of experience.

210

He worked in management for over ten years at a big tech company before coming here.

211

I think he might be strict.

212

You know how it is with new bosses.

213

They always want to make a strong impression.

214

Oh, I see. That makes me a little nervous.

215

I hope he’s easy to work with.

216

Yeah, same here. I’ve had my share of difficult managers.

217

Some of them act like they need to change everything right away.

218

Even if things are going well.

219

Exactly. I mean, we all know things can get better, but changing everything?

220

That’s stressful.

221

I hope so. Here he comes now. He looks busy!

222

But who knows?

223

Maybe he'll be really nice about it.

224

Good morning, team! I’m Mark, your new manager.

225

I’m excited to work with all of you and hear your ideas on how we can make things better.

226

Let's work together to achieve even greater things for this department.

227

Nice to meet you, sir.

228

I’m Emily. I just joined the company last week.

229

Nice to meet you, Emily.

230

I hope you're getting comfortable here.

231

And you must be Sam. The managers have said good things about you.

232

Thank you, Mark.

233

I've been with the company for five years now, and I’m looking forward to working with you.

234

That’s fantastic to hear.

235

It's amazing to learn more about the team and how we can make things run even smoother.

236

I’d love to have a one-on-one meeting with everyone soon, so we can talk about your thoughts and ideas.

237

Let's set a schedule sometime this week.

238

That sounds great. We’re happy to have you.

239

Hey, Jessica! What’s for lunch today?

240

Oh, just the usual stuff, a turkey sandwich and an apple.

241

I didn’t have much time to prepare anything fancy this morning.

242

How about you?

243

I ordered sushi from that new place around the corner.

244

You know the one everyone’s talking about?

245

Oh, I think I know the place.

246

The one with all the great reviews?

247

How is it? It's really good.

248

Fresh fish, nice presentation, and they deliver pretty fast.

249

It's becoming my favorite lunch when I don't bring anything from home.

250

Oh. Sounds good.

251

I want to try it.

252

Maybe we can order together tomorrow.

253

That's a great idea.

254

I'll send you the menu later today and we can find out what to get.

255

Perfect. Oh, by the way, have you heard about the office event next week?

256

They're planning a team building activity.

257

Yeah, I heard about that.

258

I think this day is supposed to be a game day or something.

259

It should be fun, right?

260

I hope so! I like the idea of getting out of the office and doing something different.

261

It's always good to bond with the team outside of work.

262

Hey Alex! How’s your day going so far?

263

It’s been... busy, to say the least.

264

I had back to back meetings all morning, and I'm still catching up on emails.

265

You know how it is.

266

Oh, I feel you.

267

I've had one of those days, too.

268

My inbox just keeps filling up, and every time I clear it, ten more emails show up.

269

It's like a never ending cycle.

270

I just keep reminding myself that the weekend is coming.

271

Haha, that’s what I keep telling myself, too.

272

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

273

Yeah, actually.

274

I'm going hiking with a couple of friends.

275

We're heading to that trail just outside the city.

276

It's supposed to have amazing views.

277

Have you ever been there?

278

I think I know that one.

279

I haven't been, but I've heard it's beautiful.

280

Definitely.

281

I love getting out in nature and just disconnecting for a while.

282

No phones, no emails, just fresh air.

283

Oh, that sounds amazing.

284

So, what's the plan for lunch?

285

Should we go together, or is that too risky?

286

I think it might be too risky today.

287

Karen’s been watching us like a hawk lately.

288

I don't want to give her anything to gossip about.

289

Okay. We’ve been careful so far, but I’ve noticed she’s been getting more nosy.

290

Maybe we should take a break for a while at least when we're at work.

291

Yeah, it's a good idea.

292

I mean, I love spending time with you, but we don't want the whole office talking about us before we're ready to go public.

293

I agree. I just hate feeling like we have to hide it.

294

But I guess that's a smart move for now.

295

Hey, guys, what's going on here?

296

You two seem to be spending a lot of time together lately.

297

Oh, just talking about the new project.

298

You know, deadlines and all that.

299

Uh-huh... sure.

300

Oh my God. She actually may know something.

301

Yeah, we really need to be more careful.

302

Hi everyone! We need to plan a team event for next month.

303

I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours too.

304

It's important that everyone has fun.

305

I think a cooking class would be great!

306

Everyone loves food, and we can all work together to make something.

307

It will help us bond as a team.

308

That’s a good idea!

309

Cooking classes are a fun way to learn new skills together.

310

But what if we do something outside?

311

Getting fresh air can be nice for everyone.

312

Oh great point, David.

313

What if we do the cooking class one day and have an outdoor activity the next day?

314

That way, we can enjoy both cooking and nature.

315

I like that!

316

The cooking class will be exciting and the outdoor event can be a good break from the office.

317

For the cooking class, I know a fun place downtown that has great classes.

318

They have an awesome chef who can teach us For outdoor activity, we can go to the park or nature reserve nearby.

319

This is perfect.

320

Let's book the cooking class and I'll check the budget.

321

Hi, Mr. Matt. Do you have a moment?

322

I need to talk to you about something important.

323

Sure, Sophia! What’s on your mind? You look a bit worried.

324

I'd like to take next Friday off.

325

I've been really busy lately, and I think a day off would help me relax and feel better.

326

Hmm... Okay! We all need a break sometimes.

327

Are you feeling okay?

328

I want to make sure you're doing well.

329

Yes, I’m fine. I just...

330

I just have a lot to handle at work, and I want to avoid feeling too stressed out.

331

A day off will help me recharge.

332

That makes sense.

333

You've been working very hard, and I really appreciate all your effort.

334

Just make sure to finish your tasks before you leave.

335

Is there anything urgent coming up?

336

I have a report due on Thursday, but I’m almost finished.

337

I'll make sure everything is ready for the team before I go.

338

I can also let them know how to reach me if they need anything.

339

That sounds great.

340

I trust you will handle it.

341

Enjoy your day off and remember to take some time for yourself.

342

If you need anything, just ask.

343

Oh, thank you so much, Matt.

344

I really appreciate your support.

345

No problem at all.

346

Taking care of yourself is important.

347

I’m really excited about the hiking trip we’re planning for next week!

348

It will be a great way for the team to spend time together outside the office.

349

Have you hiked this trail before, Katie?

350

Yes, I went there with friends last summer!

351

The trail is beautiful and the view from the top is amazing.

352

It’s not too hard, so I think most people can handle it.

353

That’s good to know! We want everyone to have fun.

354

Do you think we should bring anything special for the hike, like food or drinks?

355

Yes. Everyone should bring a lot of water and sunscreen.

356

It can get hot out there.

357

We could also bring some snacks to share when we take a break.

358

Good idea. I'll send a reminder to everyone about what to bring.

359

What if we make the hike a bit more fun with a game, like a finding items?

360

That sounds awesome!

361

We could split everyone into teams and see who can find the most items on the list.

362

Oh, I love that idea.

363

It'll make the hike more exciting, especially for those who don't hike much.

364

It’s a great way to encourage teamwork.

365

Thank you for meeting with me, Brian!

366

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the promotion.

367

It really means a lot to me.

368

You’re very welcome, Emma!

369

You've worked hard for this, and you deserve it.

370

I'm glad to see you moving up in the company.

371

I’m excited to take on more responsibilities and grow in this new role.

372

I really want to do my best.

373

That’s great! You’ll be leading more projects now, and it’s important to guide the team.

374

You're ready for this challenge.

375

I'm ready for that.

376

I feel good relationships with the team and I want to help everyone succeed.

377

I believe we can achieve more together.

378

That’s the right mindset!

379

I'm here if you need advice or support.

380

It’s a big change, but I’m confident you’ll do well.

381

Thank you! I really appreciate your trust in me.

382

I’ll work hard to make sure this promotion benefits the whole team.

383

Hi, everyone! Can I have your attention, please?

384

What’s up, boss?

385

Are you ready?

386

Ready for what?

387

Ready to meet our new colleagues.

388

Oh, we have newcomers today?

389

Yes! I want to introduce our new developers, David and Ian.

390

Hi, everyone! I’m excited to be here! I’m David.

391

And I’m Ian. Nice to join the team!

392

Nice to meet you, David and Ian.

393

Welcome to the team!

394

So, this is Wilson. He’s a senior.

395

If you ever need help, go find him!

396

Yes, I’m here if you have any questions!

397

And this lady is Sara.

398

She’s been working here for more than 2 years.

399

3 years by this October.

400

Nice to meet you!

401

Well, where is Alan?

403

Ah, I remember. Alright, let’s save Alan for later.

404

405

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
