Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

I'm a past student of this university And I'm joining some others on this career day to tell you about my job,

as it may be something you've never thought of doing.

I'm a patent attorney.

Some of you probably know what that is, but for those of you that don't, I'll explain.

If someone has a new idea or invention, they can ask for a patent.

It gives the owner the right to stop other people from using that invention.

A patent is granted by the government to inventors or more usually these days to a company.

It is for a certain time period usually a maximum of 20 years.

So during that period, that idea or invention cannot be claimed to have been invented by someone else.

The likelihood of getting a patent is dependent on whether the invention is original or not.

This is the crucial factor.

It will be looked at by a patent examiner,

and my job is to convince the examiner that the invention is not just an adjustment to something which already exists.

In order to get the patent, we need to produce a full description of the invention.

It's really important to get the details right.

Most of you are scientists and the basic requirement of the job is a solid academic background.

Often people have studied chemistry or, alternatively, engineering.

Because of the nature of the work, this is a crucial starting point.

you need to be able to understand how the inventions have come about.

On top of that, employers are looking for particular kinds of people.

They want employees who have excellent communication skills.

So you can talk to inventors in terms that they can understand and also ask the right questions.

These aren't necessarily skills you're taught at university.

This is an international business as are most nowadays, and it's very convenient to be able to read documents without having to call for translations.

So, if you can understand a foreign language, that's a great asset.

You might think it sounds a bit boring from what I've said, but it really isn't.

There are lots of advantages to the job.

It's extremely interesting for a start.

For example, I feel I use a range of expertise.

I'm not just a scientist, not just a lawyer, but a mixture of the two.

Although it takes quite a long time to qualify as a patent attorney, anything from four to six years,

after that, you can earn a high salary which compares very well with other similar professions.

There are some disadvantages, of course.

It can be rather lonely as you tend to sit in front of a computer for most of the day.

Even if you have colleagues, you will all be working separately.

And there isn't very much flexibility with location.

Almost all vacancies for trainees are city -based.

So if that doesn't appeal to you, you might want to think again.

You do get to travel a bit to meetings with clients.

and there are also visits to court.

So what kind of organization might you end up working in?

Well, many people work in industrial companies.

The big ones have their own patent departments.

The kind of product you might work with there will range from food to heavy equipment.

from biotechnology to the car industry.

Basically, any organization where significant time and money is put into research and development to get ahead of the market.

There are also many private practices.

and some of these will have areas of special interest.

Finally, it's possible to get a job in various government offices.

In those departments, you will probably be looking at applications for patents and making decisions about them.

I really love my job, so I hope I persuaded a few of you that it's worth thinking about.

If anyone wants to come and ask questions, I'm happy to answer them.

FOR YOU

這個影片適合誰？

如果你是正在準備職場英語或想提升專業領域表達的中高階學者，這支影片再適合不過！它不僅能讓你瞭解「專利律師」這一冷門職業，還能學到如何用精準英語描述工作內容、優缺點及就業方向。無論是為了面試還是職場溝通，跟著練習都能快速積累實用表達。

值得偷學的詞彙與短語

影片中有不少專業且實用的表達，趕緊記下來：

patent attorney：專利律師（處理專利申請、維護等法律事務的專業人士）
granted by：由…授予（常用於描述權利、資格的頒發）
solid academic background：紮實的學術背景（求職時的必備表達）
range of expertise：多方面的專業知識（用於強調綜合能力）
private practices：私人執業（指律師、醫生等個體經營的事務所）

如何練出標準口音？

這位講者的口音清晰自然，非常適合影子跟讀練習。建議專注以下兩點：

重讀關鍵詞：如「crucial factor」「high salary」等，講者會通過加重語氣突出重點，跟讀時模仿這種節奏，能讓你的表達更有感染力。
連讀與弱讀：注意「a range of」中的「a」弱讀為/ə/，「dependent on」中的「on」與前面的「t」連讀，多聽幾遍並用影子跟讀網站（shadowing site）反覆練習，很快就能掌握訣竅。

利用「看YouTube學英語」的優勢，結合「英語影子跟讀」技巧，每天花10分鐘跟練，不出一週就能明顯感受到進步！試著用shadowspeak工具錄下自己的聲音，對比講者的發音，及時糾正細節，你的口語一定會越來越流利。

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 never thought · have studied · have come
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	is granted · cannot be claimed · will be looked

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。
