英語口語頻道為網友整理的《英語口語練習:如何自然地談談自己的工作》,供大家參考學習。
    大家聽出來了嗎?Stella和Amy的對話發(fā)生在社交場合(某餐廳)。在談論工作之前,兩人先點評了餐廳的漢堡,算是稍稍地寒暄了一下。用這種方式引入正題非常值得大家借鑒。
    A: Ah, the burgers here are amazing. Have you tried them?
    S: I have. My company has parties here sometimes. Always great food.
    A: Oh, I bet.
    基本問題
    接下來,Amy很自然地詢問Stella在公司工作了多久:"So how long have you been working at Biosociates?" Stella的回答是:"I've been there since 2007. I started right after I got my BS in computer science."
    在談論工作之初,對方往往會問我們一些基本的問題,如公司名稱、你的職位頭銜、任職時長等。在回答此類問題時,也可以順便提及你的教育背景、升職經歷和職業(yè)轉變等。下面就是幾個很好的例子:
    I've been working as an HR assistant for the last four years.(職位頭銜、任職時長)
    I've been with Henderson since leaving college. (公司名稱、任職時長)
    I started here two years ago after I got my master's degree in Biology.(任職時長、教育背景)
    I was a junior copywriter until I was promoted last summer.(職位頭銜、升職經歷)
    I changed careers in the mid-90s and became a teacher.(職位名稱、職業(yè)轉變)
    工作職責
    之后,Amy提出了與工作職責相關的具體問題。
    A: And what are your day-to-day duties like?
    S: Basically, I'm the go-to person for everything IT.
    A: In what way?
    S: Well, for the most part, it's mainly trouble shooting and training. But I also supervise the help desk.
    A: Sounds like a lot. Have you worked on many specific projects?
    S: Sure. I wrote up the tax support manuals for employees; you know, taking on some of the most common issues so that they can do some trouble shooting for themselves.
    在介紹自己的工作職責時,大家要記得說明細節(jié)和使用描述性動詞。通常,我們會提到:
    所在領域或行業(yè)(IT)
    日常工作事務(trouble shooting, training and supervise the help desk)
    正在或曾經參與的項目(wrote up the tax support manuals)
    做個小練習吧!
