7.1 Simon When I was about 30,

I got a job as an editor in a publishing company.

It was my first office job, and I didn't really know what to wear.

But for the interview, I wore a suit.

In fact, I bought the suit specially for the interview.

I got the job, so I thought that must be okay.

So, on the first day, I went to work wearing a suit and tie.

I got to work early.

I wanted to make a good impression, and I was the first person in the office.

So I went in, I found my desk with my name on it, and I sat down.

And there were a few papers and documents for me to read, so I started reading those.

I turned on my computer and after about 10, 15 minutes, the other people in the office started to arrive.

And I noticed that nobody else was wearing a suit.

And I thought, okay, it's not a big problem.

So I introduced myself to the other people.

I said, hello, how are you?

Hello, pleased to meet you

and the next thing someone said to me was my computer's

really slow do you think you know what the problem is

and I said no no not really

so then I introduced myself to somebody else

and said hello nice to meet you

and she replied hello nice to meet you

and then she said do you know how I can connect my computer to the printer.

And I said, no, I have no idea how to do that.

Anyway, I went back to work and about half an hour later I had a meeting with my boss.

And she said, how's it going?

And I said, yeah, it's all good.

Well, everybody seems really nice.

Um, just one thing.

Why does everybody think I can fix their computer?

And she looked at me and what I was wearing, and she said, it's your suit.

Nobody in this office ever wears a suit.

So they think you're from the IT department and you've come to help with a computer problem.

They're the only ones who wear suits.

So, I never wore it again, to this day.

It was my first day at work as a teacher at a language school.

And they asked me to come the first week of term to observe some teachers, to watch their lessons.

and then I was going to start teaching the following week.

But when I arrived there, they told me that one of the teachers was ill

and they asked me to take the class and it was three-year-old kids.

So I was in a class with about ten three-year-olds who were running around.

My boss gave me a storybook to read to them but the kids couldn't speak any English.

I'd never taught, or never been trained to teach children that small.

I tried to read the book to two of them

but the others were running around shouting and hitting each other

and at the worst possible moment just

when all of them were being really noisy

and not doing anything I was telling them to my boss the director of the school opened the door

and just looked at me I felt terrible

but then she said these children are too young for you aren't they and I said yes I was nearly crying

luckily after that she never gave me any classes with really young children

but it was the most stressful class I've ever tried to teach

这个视频适合谁？

本视频适合初中级英语学习者，尤其适合准备雅思口语练习或日常英语口语练习的同学。内容围绕职场和教学场景的真实故事展开，能帮助学习者掌握实用表达，提升叙事能力，非常适合用于shadow speech训练。

值得借鉴的词汇和习语

视频中有不少实用表达，比如：
- make a good impression：留下好印象
- the worst possible moment：最糟糕的时刻
- observe some teachers：观摩其他老师的课
这些表达在雅思口语练习中很常用，建议结合shadowing site进行模仿。

如何练好口音？

练习时可关注以下发音要点：
1. 注意连读，比如“got a job”读作/ɡɒtə dʒɒb/，“it's your suit”读作/ɪts jɔː ˈsuːt/。
2. 模仿说话人的语调，叙事时的起伏变化能让表达更生动。
建议使用shadow speech法，跟着视频逐句重复，或借助shadowspeaks类平台进行针对性训练。坚持每天10分钟，口语流畅度会明显提升。

无论是职场故事还是教学场景，这些真实对话都是英语口语练习的优质素材。通过shadowing训练，既能积累词汇，又能提升发音，一举多得。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	you've come · I've ever tried
过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作	was wearing · were running · were being
最高级 the -est / the most … — 一组中最高或最低的	the worst · the most stressful
动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词	started reading · start teaching

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。
