121. 6:01I finished my first day at work.
122. 6:04I met my colleagues and learned new
123. 6:06things.
124. 6:07I asked questions and people helped me.
125. 6:10I feel more confident now.
126. 6:12Thank you for practicing English with
127. 6:13me. See you in the next lesson.
128. 6:16>> Welcome back, everyone.
129. 6:19Today, we are practicing something very
130. 6:21important, your first day at work.
131. 6:25Imagine that you have just found a new
132. 6:27job. You arrive at the office, meet your
133. 6:31manager, introduce yourself to your
134. 6:33colleagues, and begin learning new
135. 6:36things.
136. 6:37You may feel nervous. You may not know
137. 6:40what to say, and that is completely
138. 6:43normal. But, remember, you do not need
139. 6:46perfect English to make a good
140. 6:48impression. You need simple, polite, and
141. 6:52confident sentences.
142. 6:54Today, we will practice the English you
143. 6:57need to feel more comfortable,
144. 6:59communicate with your colleagues, and
145. 7:01become more confident in your new
146. 7:04workplace.
147. 7:05Take a deep breath,
148. 7:07>> [gasps]
149. 7:08>> relax your shoulders, listen carefully,
150. 7:11and repeat every sentence aloud. Are you
151. 7:15ready? Let's begin.
152. 7:18One, arriving at work.
153. 7:21Imagine that you are standing at the
154. 7:23reception desk on your first morning.
155. 7:26The receptionist smiles and welcomes
156. 7:29you.
157. 7:29Good morning. How can I help you?
158. 7:32You,
159. 7:33Good morning. My name is Sarah. Today is
160. 7:36my first day.
161. 7:38Repeat after me.
162. 7:40Good morning.
163. 7:42My name is Sarah.
164. 7:46Today is my first day.
165. 7:50I'm here to meet my manager.
166. 7:54I'm happy to be here.
167. 7:57Now, let's make your introduction a
168. 8:00little more natural. You can say,
169. 8:03"Hello, my name is Sarah. I'm starting
170. 8:06work here today. It's nice to meet you."
171. 8:10Say it again slowly.
172. 8:12"Hello, my name is Sarah. I'm starting
173. 8:16work here today. It's nice to meet you."
174. 8:20Excellent work. Remember, a friendly
175. 8:23greeting and a smile can help you make a
176. 8:26positive first impression.
177. 8:29Two,
178. 8:30meeting your manager.
179. 8:32Your manager comes to welcome you.
180. 8:36"Good morning, Sarah. Welcome to the
181. 8:38team."
182. 8:40"Good morning. Thank you. I'm happy to
183. 8:43be here."
184. 8:47Practice these useful sentences.
185. 8:50"It's nice to meet you."
186. 8:56"Thank you for welcoming me."
187. 9:02"I'm excited to start working here."
188. 9:10"I'm looking forward to learning new
189. 9:12things."
190. 9:17"I hope to do a good job."
191. 9:24Now, imagine that your manager asks you,
192. 9:29"Are you ready to get started?"
193. 9:31What can you say?
194. 9:34You can answer,
195. 9:36"Yes, I am. Thank you. I'm ready to
196. 9:40learn.
197. 9:44Repeat that answer one more time.
198. 9:48Yes, I am. Thank you. I'm ready to
199. 9:51learn.
200. 9:56You are not expected to know everything
201. 9:59on your first day. Show that you are
202. 10:01willing to learn and give yourself time
203. 10:04to improve.
204. 10:10Three. Introducing yourself to your
205. 10:13colleagues.
206. 10:15Your manager takes you to your new team.
207. 10:18Everyone, this is Sarah. She's joining
208. 10:22our team today.
209. 10:24Co-worker.
210. 10:26Hi, Sarah. It's great to meet you.
211. 10:30You.
212. 10:31Nice to meet you, too.
213. 10:36Let's practice some more expressions.
214. 10:40Hello, everyone. My name is Sarah.
215. 10:47I'm happy to be part of the team.
216. 10:53I'm looking forward to working with you.
217. 11:01Thank you for making me feel welcome.
218. 11:08If you need any help, just ask.
219. 11:16And how can you respond when a colleague
220. 11:19offers you help?
221. 11:21You can say, "Thank you. I really
222. 11:24appreciate it."
223. 11:31Or,
224. 11:32"That's very kind of you. Thank you.
225. 11:39These small expressions are very useful
226. 11:43because they help you build friendly
227. 11:45relationships at work.
228. 11:49Now, imagine that you are sitting at
229. 11:52your desk.
230. 11:53Your manager explains your first task,
231. 11:57but you do not understand everything.
232. 12:00What should you do?
233. 12:02Do not pretend to understand. Do not
234. 12:05feel ashamed. Ask a polite question.
235. 12:09Repeat after me.
236. 12:11Could you explain that again, please?
237. 12:16Could you show me how to do this?
238. 12:21I'm not sure I understand.
239. 12:27Could you help me with this?
240. 12:30What should I do first?
241. 12:35Could you speak a little more slowly,
242. 12:37please?
243. 12:40These sentences are important. Asking
244. 12:43questions can help you avoid mistakes
245. 12:46and learn your job more quickly.
246. 12:49Remember, asking for help is not a
247. 12:52weakness. It is part of learning.
248. 12:56Learning to use office equipment.
249. 12:59Your co-worker shows you how to use the
250. 13:02computer.
251. 13:03Co-worker.
252. 13:05Have you used this program before?
253. 13:08You.
254. 13:09Not yet. Could you show me how it works?
255. 13:13Now, practice these everyday workplace
256. 13:16sentences.
257. 13:18How do I log in to the computer?
258. 13:23Could you help me reset my password.
259. 13:29Could you show me how to use the
260. 13:31printer?
261. 13:34Where can I find this file?
262. 13:39Let me try it myself.
263. 13:44Thank you for your patience.
264. 13:48That last sentence is especially useful
265. 13:51when someone takes time to explain
266. 13:53something to you.
267. 13:55You can also say,
268. 13:57Thank you for taking the time to help
269. 13:59me.
270. 14:02Speak clearly, be polite, and do not be
271. 14:06afraid to practice.
272. 14:10Six, finding the break room and
273. 14:13restroom.
274. 14:14You need a short break, but you do not
275. 14:17know where the break room is.
276. 14:20You see a colleague in the hallway.
277. 14:23You, Excuse me, where is the break room?
278. 14:28Colleague, It's down the hall on the
279. 14:31left.
280. 14:32You,
281. 14:33Thank you for showing me.
282. 14:36Now, practice these useful questions.
283. 14:39Excuse me, where is the restroom?
284. 14:46Where can I get some water?
285. 14:51Is there a kitchen in the office?
286. 14:57Where can I have lunch?
287. 15:02Thank you for your help.
288. 15:07You will use these simple questions in
289. 15:10many workplaces, especially when you are
290. 15:13new.
291. 15:15Seven, taking a break and talking to
292. 15:18colleagues.
293. 15:20It is lunch time. Your colleagues invite
294. 15:23you to join them.
295. 15:25Colleague, would you like to have lunch
296. 15:28with us?
297. 15:29You, yes, I'd love to. Thank you.
298. 15:37Now, practice a few friendly
299. 15:40expressions.
300. 15:42How is your day going?
301. 15:46Are you enjoying your work?
302. 15:52How long have you worked here?
303. 15:57It's nice to get to know everyone.
304. 16:03I'm enjoying my first day so far.
305. 16:09You do not need to speak a lot to make
306. 16:12friends. Start with simple questions,
307. 16:15listen carefully, and show interest in
308. 16:18the people around you.
309. 16:22Eight. Understanding your
310. 16:25responsibilities.
311. 16:27Later, your manager explains what you
312. 16:30need to do every day.
313. 16:33Manager,
314. 16:34you'll help customers and update their
315. 16:37information.
316. 16:39You,
317. 16:40I understand. Could you explain my main
318. 16:43responsibilities?
319. 16:48Repeat these useful sentences.
320. 16:51What are my main responsibilities?
321. 16:58What should I focus on first?
322. 17:04Is there anything else I should know?
323. 17:10Could you give me an example, please?
324. 17:16I'll make a note of that.
325. 17:22I'll do my best.
326. 17:28These expressions show that you are
327. 17:30listening, paying attention, and taking
328. 17:34your work seriously.
329. 17:39Nine, receiving feedback and learning
330. 17:42from mistakes.
331. 17:47Your manager checks your work and gives
332. 17:50you some advice.
333. 17:52Manager,
334. 17:53you're doing well, Sarah. Let's review
335. 17:56this together.
336. 18:01You,
337. 18:02thank you for your feedback.
338. 18:08Practice these professional responses.
339. 18:14I understand. I'll correct that.
340. 18:21Thank you for pointing that out.
341. 18:27I'll be more careful next time.
342. 18:33Could you explain how I can improve?
343. 18:39I appreciate your advice.
344. 18:45Nobody is perfect on the first day. If
345. 18:48you make a mistake, stay calm, listen to
346. 18:52the feedback, and learn from it. Your
347. 18:55goal is not to be perfect. Your goal is
348. 18:58to keep improving.
349. 19:04Your first working day is almost over.
350. 19:07You want to make sure you know when to
351. 19:09arrive tomorrow.
352. 19:11What time should I arrive tomorrow?
353. 19:14Please arrive at 9:00.
354. 19:17Okay, thank you for letting me know.
355. 19:20Now, repeat these sentences.
356. 19:24What time should I arrive tomorrow?
357. 19:28Should I bring anything with me?
358. 19:33Is there anything I need to prepare?
359. 19:37I'll be here at 9:00.
360. 19:42Thank you for your guidance today.
361. 19:47These expressions help you finish your
362. 19:49first day with confidence and prepare
363. 19:52for the next one.
364. 19:53It is time to go home. You have met your
365. 19:56colleagues, learned new things, and
366. 19:58completed your first day.
367. 20:00You meet your manager before leaving.
368. 20:04Thank you Thank you for helping me
369. 20:05today.
370. 20:07You're welcome, Sarah. You did well.
371. 20:10I really appreciate your support. See
372. 20:12you tomorrow.
373. 20:15Let's practice the final expressions.
374. 20:19Thank you for your time today.
375. 20:23I enjoyed meeting everyone.
376. 20:27I learned a lot today.
377. 20:31Have a nice evening.
378. 20:35See you tomorrow.
379. 20:38Now, say the complete goodbye naturally.
380. 20:44Thank you for your help today. I learned
381. 20:46a lot and I look forward to seeing you
382. 20:49tomorrow. Have a nice evening.
383. 20:56Wonderful. These are the kinds of
384. 20:58sentences that help you leave a positive
385. 21:01impression.
386. 21:05Now, it is your turn to speak without
387. 21:08simply repeating after me.
388. 21:11Imagine that tomorrow is your first day
389. 21:15at a new job.
390. 21:17Answer these questions aloud in English.
391. 21:20Try to answer each question with one or
392. 21:24two complete sentences.
393. 21:27Question one.
394. 21:28How would you introduce yourself to your
395. 21:31manager?
396. 21:35Question two.
397. 21:37What would you say if you needed help
398. 21:40with a computer?
399. 21:44Question three. How would you thank a
400. 21:48colleague who helped you?
401. 21:53Question four. What would you say if you
402. 21:56did not understand your task?
403. 22:03Question five.
404. 22:04How would you say goodbye to your
405. 22:07manager at the end of the day?
406. 22:13Take your time. You can pause the video
407. 22:16if you need more time to think. There is
408. 22:19no need to rush. Every sentence you
409. 22:22practice brings you one step closer to
410. 22:25speaking English with confidence.
411. 22:31Well done. You have practiced some of
412. 22:34the most useful English expressions for
413. 22:37your first day at work.
414. 22:39Remember these five habits. Greet people
415. 22:42politely.
416. 22:43Listen carefully.
417. 22:46Ask questions when you need help.
418. 22:49Thank people who support you, and never
419. 22:52stop learning.
420. 22:54You may feel nervous when you start a
421. 22:56new job, especially when English is not
422. 22:59your first language. That is completely
