1
Hello and welcome!
2
My name is Emma.
3
Today we are going to talk about a very useful and powerful topic.
4
Stop using basic English at work.
5
Use these phrases instead.
6
Easy English.
7
This topic is extremely important because many people know basic English,
8
but at work they want to sound more professional,
9
more confident, and more natural.
10
Hello, my name is Daniel.
11
Honestly, that is exactly my problem.
12
I use the same simple English again and again at work.
13
Sometimes I feel like my vocabulary is living in one small room and refusing to grow.
14
That happens to many English learners.
15
Most people learn basic English in school,
16
but workplace English is different.
17
Yes, at work I want to sound professional,
18
but sometimes my English sounds like I am sending messages to my best friend.
19
That is why today we will learn smarter and more natural English phrases for work.
20
Good, because sometimes I write emails and then spend 30 minutes checking
21
if I sound professional or accidentally sound like a confused child.
22
Daniel.
23
I am serious.
24
Sometimes I write one email,
25
then read it 10 times,
26
then panic, then rewrite everything again.
27
Many people do that.
28
But don't worry.
29
Today we will make workplace English easier and more natural.
30
I am ready.
31
Good.
32
Let's start with a very common basic sentence.
33
Many people say, I don't understand.
34
Yes, I say that a lot.
35
It is not wrong, but at work you can sound more professional by saying,
36
could you clarify that please?
37
Oh, that sounds much better.
38
Exactly.
39
It sounds polite, professional, and confident.
40
Honestly, could you clarify that?
41
Sounds like a successful office person.
42
I don't understand sounds like my brain stopped working both mean almost the same thing
43
but the feeling is different that is interesting workplace English is not only about grammar.
44
It is also about tone.
45
So words change how people see you?
46
Absolutely.
47
Let's learn another example.
48
Many people say, I am busy.
49
That is me every day.
50
Sometimes I am so busy that even my coffee looks stressed.
51
Instead of saying, I am busy,
52
try saying, I'm tied up at the moment.
53
That sounds much more natural.
54
Exactly.
55
Or you can say, I have a lot on my plate right now.
56
Wait, a lot on my plate?
57
That sounds like food.
58
It is an expression.
59
It means you have many tasks and responsibilities.
60
English is funny sometimes.
61
One minute we are talking about work,
62
next minute suddenly there is a plate.
63
That is why learning phrases is important.
64
Native speakers use expressions all the time.
65
I want to sound more natural like that.
66
And you will.
67
Let's continue.
68
Many people say, I will call you later.
69
Instead, you can say, I'll get back to you later.
70
Oh, I hear that phrase a lot in movies and offices.
71
Exactly.
72
It is very common in professional English.
73
So, I'll get back to you means I will contact you later?
74
Yes.
75
Very good.
76
I feel smarter already.
77
Good.
78
Now let's learn another workplace phrase.
79
Many people say, good idea,
80
but in professional English, you can say,
81
that sounds like a great approach.
82
Wow, that sounds very professional.
83
Exactly.
84
Honestly, if I say that in a meeting,
85
even I will be impressed with myself.
86
Confidence grows when your vocabulary grows.
87
That is true.
88
Let's practice a small office conversation.
89
Can you finish this project today?
90
I have a lot on my plate right now,
91
but I'll do my best.
92
Excellent.
93
That sounds natural and professional.
94
Better than saying, I am busy and stressed and mentally disappearing.
95
Much better.
96
Good, because sometimes my face already looks stressed enough.
97
Daniel.
98
Again, honesty.
99
Let's continue.
100
Another common basic sentence is, I agree.
101
Instead, you can say, I completely agree with your point.
102
That sounds more professional and respectful.
103
Exactly.
104
Or you can say, that makes perfect sense.
105
I like that phrase.
106
Good.
107
Now let's learn how to disagree politely at work.
108
That is important, because sometimes I disagree inside my mind,
109
but outside I just smile like a confused potato.
110
Many people are afraid to disagree professionally,
111
but there are polite ways to do it.
112
Instead of saying, you are wrong,
113
you can say, I see your point,
114
but I have a different perspective.
115
Wow, that sounds calm and professional.
116
Exactly.
117
It sounds much better than starting office war.
118
Professional English should sound respectful.
119
That makes sense.
120
Let's continue with another important phrase.
121
Many people say, tell me fast.
122
Instead say, could you give me a quick update?
123
That sounds much more polite.
124
Exactly.
125
Workplace English is often softer and more polite.
126
So, professional English is not only about difficult words.
127
Correct.
128
It is about sounding clear, calm, and respectful.
129
I think many learners try too hard to sound advanced.
130
Yes, but natural professional English is usually simple and smart.
131
Sometimes I panic during meetings,
132
especially when somebody suddenly asks me a question.
133
That happens to many people.
134
Let me teach you a useful phrase for that situation.
135
You can say, let me think about that for a moment.
136
Oh, that gives you time to think.
137
Exactly.
138
Native speakers use phrases like this all the time.
139
That is very useful.
140
Here is another phrase.
141
Instead of saying, I made a mistake,
142
try saying, that was an oversight on my part.
143
That sounds extremely professional.
144
Yes.
145
Honestly, if I say that confidently,
146
maybe people will think I am important.
147
Confidence and communication often go together.
148
I understand now.
149
Good.
150
Let's do another office conversation.
151
Did you finish the report?
152
Not yet, but I'm currently working on it.
153
Excellent.
154
Now another question.
155
Can you explain this data?
156
Could you clarify which part you mean?
157
Perfect.
158
I sound much more professional now.
159
Exactly.
160
That is the power of workplace phrases.
161
Sometimes I feel nervous speaking English at work because I think people will judge me.
162
Remember this.
163
Most people care more about clear communication than perfect grammar.
164
That makes me feel better.
165
Good.
166
Also remember something important.
167
Confidence grows with practice.
168
So I should use these phrases daily?
169
Absolutely.
170
Use them in conversations.
171
Use them in emails.
172
Use them during meetings.
173
Even if I make mistakes?
174
Especially if you make mistakes.
175
Mistakes are part of learning.
176
I think many people stay silent because they are afraid of mistakes.
177
Yes.
178
Silence slows improvement.
179
Practice creates improvement.
180
That is powerful.
181
Let's finish with one final message.
182
You do not need perfect English to sound professional.
183
You only need better habits,
184
better phrases, and daily practice.
185
Small changes create big improvement.
186
Exactly.
187
Replace basic phrases with smarter phrases little by little.
188
Practice them daily.
189
Use them naturally.
190
And slowly, professional English becomes easier.
191
Yes.
192
One day, you will speak confidently in meetings.
193
One day, you will write professional emails naturally.
194
One day, workplace English will feel comfortable to you.
195
That day will feel amazing.
196
And that day starts with practice today.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片進行口語練習?
在職場上,使用專業而自然的英語表達是非常重要的。這個影片教你如何提升日常交流中的英語表達,讓你在工作中更加自信和從容不迫。通過觀看和跟讀,你可以學習到適用於各種場合的實用短語,幫助你擺脫簡單英語的束縛,提升自己的職業形象。通過這種方式進行英語影子跟讀(英語影子跟讀),可以有效提高你的口語能力,幫助你在面試或升遷中脫穎而出,從而更好地適應全球化的職場環境。
語法與表達的應用
在影片中,Emma和Daniel提到了幾句常見的表達,這些表達在職場上更顯專業感。以下是幾個重點短語的分析:
- Could you clarify that, please?:此句替代了基本的“I don’t understand”,使得請求澄清的語氣更為禮貌與專業。
- I’m busy:雖然這是一句常用表達,但在職場中可以用“I'm currently managing multiple tasks”來更好地傳達資訊,展示自己的工作能力。
- I need help:在職場上,可以換成“I would appreciate your assistance on this matter”,更能體現出尊重和團隊合作精神。
這些短語不僅能有效地傳達資訊,還能展現出你的職業素養與溝通能力。
常見發音陷阱
在這個影片中,某些單詞的發音可能會讓英語學習者感到困惑。以下是需要特別注意的一些發音陷阱:
- Clarify:發音正確為/ˈklær.ɪ.faɪ/,注意重音在第一個音節上。
- Busy:常見的發音是/ˈbɪzi/,確保兩個音節的流暢連貫。
- Assistance:此詞發音為/əˈsɪs.təns/,並不以“援助”直譯,注意輕重音的變化。
通過與影片中的發音進行影子跟讀(shadowspeak),你可以更準確地掌握這些詞彙,同時提升你的英語口語能力。藉助英語影子跟讀的練習方式,讓這些常見的發音變得簡單易行。
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 | Stop using · stopped working · keep practicing |
| 用 “should” 提建議 should + 動詞 — 表示應該做的事 | should sound · should use |
| 比較級 -er than / more … than — 比較兩個事物 | Better than |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | my best |
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。
