1
The way we work is changing fast and one clear example of this is our work patterns.

the type of contract employees have,
4
and even the number of different jobs they work in.
5
The traditional work pattern was based on permanent employees doing full-time jobs and fixed working hours.
6
The typical office worker in the UK and North America
7
worked from Monday to Friday and had a working day of nine o'clock to five o'clock.
8
Indeed, people talk about nine to five jobs to describe traditional office work.
9
However, that is changing.

Today's global economy needs more flexible work patterns not nine to five jobs.
11
We talked to some people about their working lives.
12
I'm Sharni and I'm an accountant.
13
I work full-time flexible hours,
14
so that means some days I start early and finish early
15
and some days I start later and finish later
16
and I'll take breaks depending on what I need to deliver for the day.
17
Some days I work in the office and some days I work at home.
18
I have my office set up at home
19
so I have everything I need to work as if I was in the office.
20
I like working flexible hours.
21
It gives me the ability to manage my career,
22
but also be there for my children.
23
This type of working isn't for everybody.
24
Some people will work better with a fixed schedule and set hours.
25
The advantages for my employer,
26
for me to be a flex time worker,
27
means that I'm a much happier employee.
28
I can still maintain all aspects of my personal life and still pursue my career.
29
Some people don't have permanent jobs with one employer,
30
but work for employment agencies that find them temporary jobs in different companies.
31
My name's Lauren, I'm a temporary worker,
32
and that basically means that I work for an agency who send me on different assignments in different companies.
33
I started temping during university,
34
and I am still temping whilst I'm looking for a permanent role.
35
The contracts that I'm assigned on last from around a couple days to a few months
36
and this can include a range of different roles such as clerical as well as reception work.
37
The advantages of being a temp worker are it gives you insight into loads of different industries
38
and it allows me to see what kind of permanent roles I'll be interested in.
39
There are some disadvantages to working as a temporary worker,
40
and these include lack of job security,
41
and it makes it difficult for career progression.
42
Being adaptable is a very important skill in the job market,
43
and temp work definitely allows me to build upon that skill.
44
Freelance work for more than one company at the same time is also more common today.
45
My name's Laurie.

49
I might write a script,
50
I might direct a film,
51
or I might do some camera work.
52
Depending on how many projects I have,
53
I may work 20 hours one week and 40 hours another week.
54
One advantage of being a gig worker is that it allows a lot of variety in my working life.
55
Another advantage is that it allows me to do things in my free time
56
that I wouldn't ordinarily be able to do if I had a full-time job job.
57
One of the disadvantages to gig working is that there's not that much income security,
58
so you don't always know where your next paycheck is coming from.
59
It's clear that today there are many more work patterns than in the past.
60
It's also clear that our working lives will continue to change in the future,
61
and we will have to adapt to that.

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 |
|---|---|
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might involve · might write · might direct |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | I'll take · will work · I'll be |

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。
