1
The way we work is changing fast and one clear example of this is our work patterns.
2
This includes the hours people work,
3
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.
10
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.
46
I'm a gig worker.
47
And gig working means when you do lots of different types of jobs to earn a living.
48

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.

练习技巧
在进行英语口语练习时，特别是进行英语影子跟读（shadow speak），建议您多次收听这段对话，尝试模仿发音与语调。可以从慢速开始，逐渐加快到相似的语速，以增强您的听力理解和口语表达能力。注意对话中提到的各类工作模式，尝试在练习中加入自己的观点，分享您对灵活工作和临时工作的看法。
例如，您可以模仿视频中的角色，描述自己理想的工作模式，或者讨论灵活工作的优缺点。这样的练习不仅能丰富您的词汇量，还能提升您在雅思口语练习中的表现。记得在练习时保持自信，使用这些新学的词汇和短语，使您的口语更自然流利。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
