7.1 Simon When I was about 30,
2
I got a job as an editor in a publishing company.
3
It was my first office job, and I didn't really know what to wear.
4
But for the interview, I wore a suit.
5
In fact, I bought the suit specially for the interview.
6
I got the job, so I thought that must be okay.
7
So, on the first day, I went to work wearing a suit and tie.
8
I got to work early.
9
I wanted to make a good impression, and I was the first person in the office.
10
So I went in, I found my desk with my name on it, and I sat down.
11
And there were a few papers and documents for me to read, so I started reading those.
12
I turned on my computer and after about 10, 15 minutes, the other people in the office started to arrive.
13
And I noticed that nobody else was wearing a suit.
14
And I thought, okay, it's not a big problem.
15
So I introduced myself to the other people.
16
I said, hello, how are you?
17
Hello, pleased to meet you
18
and the next thing someone said to me was my computer's
19
really slow do you think you know what the problem is
20
and I said no no not really
21
so then I introduced myself to somebody else
22
and said hello nice to meet you
23
and she replied hello nice to meet you
24
and then she said do you know how I can connect my computer to the printer.
25
And I said, no, I have no idea how to do that.
26
Anyway, I went back to work and about half an hour later I had a meeting with my boss.
27
And she said, how's it going?
28
And I said, yeah, it's all good.
29
Well, everybody seems really nice.
30
Um, just one thing.
31
Why does everybody think I can fix their computer?
32
And she looked at me and what I was wearing, and she said, it's your suit.
33
Nobody in this office ever wears a suit.
34
So they think you're from the IT department and you've come to help with a computer problem.
35
They're the only ones who wear suits.
36
So, I never wore it again, to this day.
37
It was my first day at work as a teacher at a language school.
38
And they asked me to come the first week of term to observe some teachers, to watch their lessons.
39
and then I was going to start teaching the following week.
40
But when I arrived there, they told me that one of the teachers was ill
41
and they asked me to take the class and it was three-year-old kids.
42
So I was in a class with about ten three-year-olds who were running around.
43
My boss gave me a storybook to read to them but the kids couldn't speak any English.
44
I'd never taught, or never been trained to teach children that small.
45
I tried to read the book to two of them
46
but the others were running around shouting and hitting each other
47
and at the worst possible moment just
48
when all of them were being really noisy
49
and not doing anything I was telling them to my boss the director of the school opened the door
50
and just looked at me I felt terrible
51
but then she said these children are too young for you aren't they and I said yes I was nearly crying
52
luckily after that she never gave me any classes with really young children
53
but it was the most stressful class I've ever tried to teach

這個影片適合誰？
本影片適合初中級英語學習者，尤其適合準備雅思口語練習或日常英語口語練習的同學。內容圍繞職場和教學場景的真實故事展開，能幫助學習者掌握實用表達，提升敘事能力，非常適合用於shadow speech訓練。
值得借鑑的詞彙和習語
影片中有不少實用表達，比如：
- make a good impression：留下好印象
- the worst possible moment：最糟糕的時刻
- observe some teachers：觀摩其他老師的課
這些表達在雅思口語練習中很常用，建議結合shadowing site進行模仿。
如何練好口音？
練習時可關注以下發音要點：
1. 注意連讀，比如“got a job”讀作/ɡɒtə dʒɒb/，“it's your suit”讀作/ɪts jɔː ˈsuːt/。
2. 模仿說話人的語調，敘事時的起伏變化能讓表達更生動。
建議使用shadow speech法，跟著影片逐句重複，或藉助shadowspeaks類平臺進行針對性訓練。堅持每天10分鐘，口語流暢度會明顯提升。
無論是職場故事還是教學場景，這些真實對話都是英語口語練習的優質素材。通過shadowing訓練，既能積累詞彙，又能提升發音，一舉多得。
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 |
|---|---|
| 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 | you've come · I've ever tried |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | was wearing · were running · were being |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the worst · the most stressful |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | started reading · start teaching |
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。
