Hi friends!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk.
3
Hey everyone!
4
I'm Tom and this is Lily and we are your English learning friends.
5
We are so happy you found us.
6
If you want to work, travel, or live abroad,
7
This conversation will help you.
8
And today, oh, today is a really fun one.
9
It is.
10
We are talking about work meetings in English.
11
Yes, phrases you need, vocabulary you must know, and some very important expressions for sounding professional at work.
12
And maybe some expressions for when you are not very professional at work.
13
Hmm, I wonder who that could be about.
14
Let's just move on.
15
If you want the transcript, vocabulary, and slow audio version, check the Join button below.
16
But before we start, we have a question for you.
17
Really?
18
Really, Tom.
19
In today's episode, Tom does something at the meeting that is a little embarrassing.
20
Why do you always say it like that?
21
Because it's true.
22
So here is the question for you.
23
What do you think Tom forgot to bring to the meeting?
24
Write your answer in the comments.
25
I can't believe this is my life.
26
So Tom, let's talk about our first big work meeting together.
27
Do you remember it?
28
I remember it, unfortunately.
29
It was our first week at the company.
30
We had a team meeting at 9 :00 AM.
31
9 :00 AM, in the morning.
32
Is that a problem?
33
For a normal human being, no. For me?
34
Absolutely yes.
35
Okay, so I arrived at the meeting room at 8 .55.
36
I had my notebook, my pen, my laptop.
37
Okay, okay, we get it.
38
You were perfect.
39
I had printed the agenda.
40
I had prepared questions.
41
I had a highlighter.
42
She had a highlighter.
43
I like to be prepared.
44
Meanwhile, I walked in at 9 .07.
45
9 .07?
46
With a cup of coffee.
47
No notebook.
48
No pen.
49
said what did you say i said
50
so what are we talking about today he said he actually
51
said what are we talking about today our manager looked at me she looked at me for a very long time
52
she was so quiet it was the longest five seconds of my life
53
but you know what tom survived he learned and today he is going to help you learn too that's right
54
Learn from my mistakes, people.
55
Alright, before our main vocabulary section, let's talk about grammar.
56
Today's grammar focus is the past simple tense, because we use it a lot when we talk about meetings and work events.
57
The past simple.
58
Very important.
59
We use the past simple to talk about finished actions in the past.
60
Things that happened and are now complete.
61
Like, "I arrived at the meeting." Exactly!
62
"I arrived." That's past simple.
63
Here are the forms.
64
For regular verbs, we add "ed." So, arrive, arrived.
65
Prepare, prepared.
66
Join, joined.
67
For regular verbs, the form changes.
68
For example, go, went. have, had.
69
Say, said, forget, forgot.
70
Forgot!
71
Very relevant to today's episode.
72
Very relevant.
73
Now let's look at some examples from our conversation.
74
I walked into the meeting at 9 :07.
75
Past simple.
76
Walk, walked.
77
She looked at me for a very long time.
78
Past simple.
79
Look, looked.
80
I said, "What are we talking about today?" Past simple.
81
Say, said.
82
Perfect!
83
So when you talk about a meeting that already happened, use past simple: arrived, prepared, said, forgot, presented.
84
Now let's learn some fantastic meeting vocabulary.

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.
