How to talk about your job in English.
Thirty Days English Challenge.
Hello everyone, welcome to SN English Practice.
Day eighteen of our thirty days English challenge.
Before we begin, I want to appreciate you for something.
You're still here. You're still learning.
And you're still trying to improve your English.
Maybe you understand English, but hesitate when it's time to speak.
Maybe you make mistakes.
Forget words, or feel nervous when someone speaks to you in English.
But look at what you've already done.
You've taken another step in your learning journey.
By coming back to practice today, that effort matters.
You do need to speak perfect English today.
You just need to become a little more confident than you were yesterday.
So, give yourself credit for showing up.
Keep practicing, keep learning, and don't let a few mistakes.
Convince you that you cannot improve.
Now, let's make today's practice useful.
In day eighteen, you'll learn how to talk about your job.
Explain what you do. Describe your responsibilities.
And speak naturally about work in English.
Let's begin. One.
How to answer? What do you do?
Imagine you're meeting someone for the first time.
They ask you, so, what do you do?
They're usually asking about your job or occupation.
You don't need a long answer. Start with a simple, natural sentence.
If you're a teacher, say.
I'm a teacher. I teach English to school students.
If you work in an office, you could say.
I work in an office. I mainly handle administrative tasks.
If you're a student, you could say.
I'm currently a student, and I'm studying commerce.
And if you manage a household, you can say.
I manage my household and take care of my family's daily needs.
Every kind of work and responsibility can be described with confidence.
Now let's learn three useful expressions.
One, I work as a.
Example, I work as a customer support executive.
Two. I work in.
Use this to describe a field or industry.
Example, I work in the IT industry.
Three, I'm responsible for.
Use this to explain your duties. Example.
I'm responsible for managing customer inquiries.
Repeat these sentences aloud.
Now complete this sentence about yourself.
If you don't have a job right now.
Practice with a job you'd like to do in the future.
Two useful workplace vocabulary.
Let's learn five useful words for talking about your job.
One, colleague, someone you work with.
Example: My colleagues are very helpful.
To deadline the time by which work must be completed.
Example, I have to finish this report before the deadline.
Three assignment a task given to you.
Example. I've received a new assignment. For.
Coordinate to organize work with other people. Example.
I coordinate with different teams.
Five prioritize to decide which task is most important.
Example, I prioritize urgent tasks first.
Repeat these sentences aloud.
Try to use at least two of these words when talking about your own work.
Three. Describe your responsibilities.
Imagine someone asks you, "What are your main responsibilities?"
You could say.
My responsibilities include preparing reports.
And responding to emails.
If you work in customer service, say.
I help customers and answer their questions.
If you're a teacher, say.
I prepare lessons and help students learn.
And if you're a student, you could say.
My main responsibilities are completing assignments and preparing for exams.
Here is another useful sentence.
My role requires attention to detail.
It means your work requires you to be careful about small things.
Now practice answering this question aloud.
What are your main responsibilities?
Give your answer into sentences.
Four, real-life conversation.
Let's listen to S. N. and his new colleague, Alex.
Alex, hi. I'm Alex. I recently joined the team.
Sn, nice to meet you, Alex. I'm Sn.
Alex, what department do you work in?
Sn, I work in the operations department.
Alex, what does your role involve?
Sn, I coordinate with different teams and make sure tasks are completed on time.
Alex, how do you manage your workload?
Sn, I prioritize important tasks and keep track of deadlines.
Alex, that's a useful approach.
Sn. Yes, it helps me stay organized.
Now repeat these three sentences.
What does your role involve?
I prioritize important tasks.
I keep track of deadlines.
Practice the conversation once more, speaking both parts aloud.
Five. Talk about a busy day.
Sometimes work becomes stressful.
Because there are too many tasks to complete.
Here are four natural expressions you can use. One.
I have a lot on my plate today.
Meaning, I have many things to do.
Two, this needs my immediate attention.
Meaning, this is urgent and needs attention now.
Three, could I have a little more time?
Use this when you need extra time to complete something.
Four, I've wrapped up my work for today.
Meaning, I finished my work for the day.
Let's practice a short situation.
Your manager asks whether you've finished a report.
You say, I'm still working on it.
Could I have a little more time to complete it?
This is clear and professional.
Now make your own sentence using.
I have a lot on my plate today.
Six. Talk about your career goals.
People may also ask about your future career. For example.
What would you like to achieve in your career? You could answer.
I'd like to improve my professional skills.
I hope to gain more experience in my field.
My goal is to become a team leader.
I'm working towards becoming a skilled software developer.
The expression "work towards" means.
Making an effort to achieve something.
Now answer this question aloud.
What skill would you like to improve for your future career?
Speak for two or three sentences.
Your answer can be simple and honest.
Seven quick speaking practice.
Now answer these questions before reading the examples.
One, what do you do?
Example, I work in the education field.
Two, what are your responsibilities?
Example, I manage daily tasks and communicate with my colleagues.
Three, how do you manage a busy day?
Example, I prioritize important tasks
and keep track of deadlines.
Four, what is your career goal?

Now answer all four questions again.
Without looking at the examples.

Speak in English for 45 seconds.
