Okay, today we're gonna talk about working from home.
7
This is a good topic because many people work remotely nowadays.
8
Working remotely means you don't work in an office.
9
You stay home and you use your computer or other technology to work.
10
I work from home and I think there are positives and negatives to this.
11
Let's talk about them.
12
First, let's start with the positives.
13
If you work from home, you don't need to commute to work.
14
You don't have to drive to work in the morning or drive back home in the evening.
15
This is great because you don't have to worry about traffic.
16
In the morning and in the evening,
17
there are many cars on the road because many people are commuting to and from work.
路上有很多車,因為很多人正在上下班通勤。
18
Some people get stuck in this traffic every day.
19
This is one of my favorite things about working from home.
20
It saves you a lot of time.
21
Another thing is that you can feel more relaxed when you work from home.
22
You can wear casual clothes, you can take breaks when you're tired, and you can work in any room.
23
I feel pretty comfortable working from home.
24
It's not too formal and I feel free.
25
If you work in an office there are more rules and it's less comfortable.
26
One other positive about working from home is being able to spend more time with your family.
27
For example, if you have a break you can go in the other room and spend time with your family.
28
When you work at an office you don't have your family with you so you can't do this.
29
I love eating breakfast or lunch with my family when I have breaks.
30
This is probably the best part about working from home.
31
I can spend a lot of time with my family on weekdays and weekends.
32
Okay, now let's talk about the negatives of working from home.
33
One bad thing is that it's easy to get distracted at home.
34
For example, if you have young children at home with you, it can be hard to focus on your work.
35
Children make noise and interrupt you while you're working.
36
This is normal.
37
So you have to learn to manage these situations and stay focused on your work.
38
Another negative thing about working from home is that sometimes you don't know when to stop working.
39
When you work at an office, you stop working when you leave the office.
40
You know exactly when your workday is done.
41
However, when you work from home, it can be hard to know when to stop each day.
42
You don't have your boss there to tell you when to stop.
43
One more negative thing about working from home is not having contact with other people.
44
In general, it's important to talk and interact with other people.
45
If you work from home, you only talk to your co-workers on the computer or on the phone.
46
This is okay, but I think it's also good to interact with people in person.
47
It feels good to be around people and to work with people.
48
So in general, I like working from home, but it's not perfect.
49
Okay, that's all for today.
50
Leave a comment and tell me if you like working from home.

推薦影片
為什麼通過這個影片練習口語?
在這個“A1 英語聽力練習”影片中,您可以在家庭辦公的背景下進行口語練習。當今許多人都選擇在家工作,這為學習者提供了與現實生活相關的口語練習機會。通過觀看影片,您不僅能提高英語聽力,還能模仿說話者的語調和發音,進行有效的 英語影子跟讀。這種方式可以幫助您在加強聽力的同時,提升 提高英語發音 的能力。
語法與表達的上下文
影片中提到了一些關鍵的語法結構和表達方式,以下是幾個例子:
- “If you work from home…” – 這是一個條件句,用於討論在家工作時的優勢和劣勢。
- “Another thing is that…” – 這個表達常用於引入新的資訊,強調在家工作的附加好處。
- “It can be hard to know when to stop…” – 這裡使用了情態動詞“can”,表達了在特定情況下可能出現的困難。
- “I feel pretty comfortable…” – 使用“feel”動詞來表達個人感受,這在口語中非常常見。
為了提高您的流利度,試著通過 shadow speech 的方式練習這些句子結構,重複說話者的話,使語言習慣更加自然。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中,一些單詞和表達可能會對學習者構成發音挑戰。例如:
- “commute” – 這個詞的發音可能會讓初學者困惑,國際音標通常記錄為 /kəˈmjuːt/。
- “remote” – 注意“remote”的重音在第二節音節,這在口音上常常被忽略。
- “distraction” – 發音時,重音在第二個音節,可能會導致容易發成“distrac-shun”而非正確的發音。
通過聆聽和跟讀,您將能更好地掌握這些單詞的發音。在練習時,嘗試 shadow speak,即跟隨影片中的發音,確保您可以準確地複述。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | love eating · stop working |
| 現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事 | are commuting · is being · you're working |
| 義務:must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的 | need to commute · have to drive · have to worry |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
