1
With me on Careers Talk is Jake Watson, who's an air traffic controller, making sure planes take off and land safely at a busy airport.
2
Jake, welcome.
3
We've got many questions emailed by our teenage listeners.
4
OK.
5
First, Sarah asks what you find challenging about your job.
6
The job's extremely interesting, but it's not easy.
7
Obviously, it involves keeping radio contact with aircraft and directing their movements.
8
I also have to provide information to pilots about weather conditions, for example, so there's a lot involved.
9
I get to use advanced radio communication to maintain contact with pilots.
10
I also speak to air authorities to make sure planes pass safely through their airspace.
11
And it's when I have to deal with all this at once that I'm really stretched.
12
Ben asks how you ended up doing such an unusual job.
13
I've always loved being around airports.
14
After graduating in aircraft engineering, I got my private pilot's licence.
15
I'd always wanted to become a commercial pilot.
16
But then I was offered a job in aircraft maintenance.
17
That was pressured at times, so it was good training.
18
And I was lucky enough to be getting a good salary.
19
But after a while, it became a bit routine, so I started looking at what else was available and saw the job advertised.
20
Samantha wants to know how hard it was to get the job.
21
The selection process was tough.
22
I was given lots of tasks, like problem solving to test my analytical skills, which I'd been nervous about.
23
To my surprise, I had no problems with them.
24
I've always been good at math, which probably helped.
25
Actually, I thought math would be a basic necessity for this work and that doing the job would make me even better at it.
26
In fact, only straightforward calculations are involved.
27
Anyway, I got through.
28
Peter asks how you felt when you first took charge of landing a plane without any help.
29
Yes, well, as a trainee, you're used to having someone listening to you when you're talking to pilots, but eventually you have to do it alone, of course.
30
My instructors assured me that I'd had all the necessary preparation.
31
I wasn't convinced, but in fact the whole thing happened almost without me realising it.
32
I'd been so absorbed in what I was doing, it was only afterwards that I remembered no one had been there checking up on me.
33
So it was fine.
34
B asks what air controllers do when the weather's foggy.
35
Well, they airport's near a river, so some days everything's covered in dense fog.
36
Then the regular buzz of activity dies down, and there's just screens lighting up with wind speed reports and so on, which we still keep a close eye on.
37
It doesn't mean we can relax completely.
38
The fog can hang around for hours or clear within minutes.
39
We make the most of those times when we're not dealing with 50 planes an hour, though.
40
Now, a question from Richard.
41
Are you aware of how much people hate flight delays?
42
Well, controllers actually work to speed up flight departures, but I realise why people get frustrated when flights are running late.
43
I know from experience, though, that it doesn't do any good.
44
I do sometimes feel sorry for passengers, but the delay in departure schedules isn't something I let myself get concerned about up in the control tower.
45
The departure times are decided according to the routes aircraft take, among other things, but that's hard to get that over to passengers.
46
Finally, I read that air traffic controllers recently helped out with an air display at the airport.
47
How did that go?
48
Really well.
49
We'd spent several months preparing for it.
50
It was amazing how little disruption there was to flights.
51
My job was talking to helicopter pilots filming the display, as well as monitoring other aircraft at the show.
52
I hadn't expected to see quite such big crowds.
53
It was certainly a satisfying feeling when it was over, and nothing had gone wrong.
54
Thanks, Jake.

背景與情境
本影片中，我們採訪了航空交通管制員傑克·沃森（Jake Watson）。他負責在一個繁忙的機場中確保飛機安全起降。這段對話中，傑克分享了他的工作經歷以及所面臨的挑戰，非常適合希望學習與職業相關英語的同學。通過觀看和學習這個影片，可以幫助英語學習者提升實際交流能力，同時通過模仿技巧提高英語發音。
日常交流的五個常用短語
- keeping radio contact - 保持無線電聯絡
- weather conditions - 天氣狀況
- aircraft maintenance - 飛機維護
- selection process - 選拔過程
- flight departures - 航班起飛
以上短語不僅是航空交通管制員工作中的基本詞彙，同時也是生活中常見的交流用語。學習這些短語可以幫助你在相關領域內進行更有效的溝通。
逐步模仿指南
要有效掌握影片中的內容並提升英語口語能力，可以遵循以下步驟：
- 觀看影片：初次觀看時，集中注意力在傑克的表達和語調上，理解他在說什麼。
- 重播特定片段：找出自己不理解或覺得困難的句子，反覆播放，並儘量跟讀模仿。
- 使用shadow speak技巧：嘗試在影片出現的對話中，儘量在傑克說話的同時進行跟讀。這種方法稱為shadowspeaks，能夠極大提高你的發音和流利度。
- 記錄並分析：將自己模仿的錄音儲存下來，事後對比傑克的語音，找出發音及語調的差異。
- 日常練習：在日常生活中，儘量應用所學的短語和表達，比如與朋友討論天氣或你的職業理想。
通過以上步驟，學習者不僅可以提高英語發音，還能增強實際語境中的溝通能力。利用像看YouTube學英語這樣的資源，努力進行日常的shadowspeak練習，持之以恆必能取得顯著進步。
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 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was offered · was pressured · was given |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've always loved · I've always been |
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。
