English Speaking Course Cleaning the house on the weekend. This movie is really good. I love watching it with you two. Me too, honey. It's a nice way to relax on a Friday night. I'm really happy spending time with you like this. We were busy all week. We only spend time together on the weekend. Tomorrow is Saturday. Why am I feeling nervous now? What are you going to say? Me too. Mom, what is it? Tomorrow you two need to help me clean the house. Clean the house? No, I want to rest. Mom, it's my free day. I want to play games. I know, but the house is messy. We must clean together. But the house looks fine to me. No, we must cut the grass, wash the car, and clean more places. Okay, okay. Let's clean house together. Mom, I'll help too. And for breakfast, can I have fried eggs? Of course, sweetie. I'll make them for you. All right. We will clean the house tomorrow. Are you two ready to clean the house today? I'm still a bit sleepy, but okay, Mom. I'm tired too, but let's finish it quickly. Great. So here is our plan. You have a plan? This feels like a big mission, babe. Uh-huh. Yeah, why not? Dad and Kevin will clean the living room together. Clean the living room? What do we need to do? Wipe the table, sweep the floor. All right, we can handle that. After that, we will take the clothes from outside and fold them. Okay, Mom. Folding clothes is easy. Then Dad will wash the car, and I will cut the grass. Sounds like a busy morning. Exactly. Come on, my team. Okay, let's start with the living room. What should I do first, Dad? Can you help me pick up all the trash on the floor? There is so much trash everywhere. Who threw it on the floor? It was me. Then you should tidy them up. We really need to clean this room today. I'll put all the trash in this big plastic bag. Good job. I will wipe the table. Yes, the table is a little sticky. I think we forgot to clean it last week. Don't worry, I'll make it shine. I'm done, Dad. Great job, my boy. Now let's sweep the floor. There's a lot of dust under the sofa. I'll move it a little so we can sweep better. Okay, I can help you. The room already looks cleaner. Yes, we're doing great. Mom will be happy. Hey, you two. Can you bring the laundry basket outside? We need to take the clothes down. Sure. Where is the basket, Mom? It's in the hallway. Bring it to the yard, please. Okay, Mom. Good. Now let's take all the clothes off the line. These shirts are already dry. I'll put them into the basket. I heard next week will be colder, so we should put away some summer clothes. Really? Then we need to take out our jackets, too. Yes. Our autumn clothes are in the big box in the bedroom. After we finish here, I'll check the box. Do you like cold weather, son? Yes, Dad. I really like it. Mom, Dad and I already cleaned the living room, too. Good job. You two did great. Dad, I'm going to take out the trash now. Do you have anything you want me to throw away? Thanks, son. Nothing. Be careful. The bag is a little heavy. Okay, Dad. Oh, are you almost finished washing the car? Yes, I'm almost done. Dad, can I ask you something? Sure, what is it? Do you remember the movie we watched last night? Of course. I really liked the part when the robot helped the family. I knew you would like that. I love robots, too. Yes, I wish we had a robot to clean the house today. Me, too. That would save us a lot of time. If we had one, it could clean my room every day. And it would help me wash the car. I really don't like do housework on my weekend. Same. But we need to help Mom because we are family. I can say it's our family teamwork day. Sounds nice. Hey, don't leave yet. We see you reaching for that skip button. Stay till the end. It's worth it. Trust us. Your English will thank you. Good morning. You're cutting the grass today? Yes, it's growing so fast this week. I couldn't leave it like this. It looks very green. But your garden is beautiful. Thank you. I try my best to keep it nice and clean. I also heard some noise earlier. Is your family cleaning the house? Yes, today is our big cleaning day. Everyone is helping. That's wonderful. My kids never want to help with anything. My boy complain a little, too. But they still try. I'm proud of them. Teamwork makes everything easier, right? Exactly. When we all work together, the house becomes clean so fast. And you will cook a big lunch after? Yes, a nice family meal. They earned it. Sounds lovely. Enjoy your day. Thank you. Have a nice day, too. Yeah, see you later. Bye. Let's go buy some food for lunch. Great. What are we cooking today, Mom? I'm thinking about chicken, vegetables, and maybe a simple soup. It will be tasty and healthy. I really love that. Mom, can we buy some snacks, too? Okay. You can choose one snack. Yay! I cleaned the living room, picked up my clothes, and took out the trash today. Yes, you worked very hard. That's why I will buy you a snack. You earned it. Thanks, Mom. Look, the tomatoes here look fresh. Let's take some. Should we buy onions, too? Yes, put two in the basket. Okay, Mom. What about drinks? Let's get some orange juice and maybe some fruits for later. Yay! This lunch will be amazing. I hope your dad will like it, too. I can smell something amazing in the kitchen. What are you cooking? Chicken with vegetables and soup. The soup is done. I'm bringing it to the table now. It smells great. Do you need help? Yes, can you get the salad plate, please? Sure, I'll get it. Mom, Dad, I finished setting the table. Good job. We're almost ready. Here's the salad plate. Wow, the soup looks amazing. Yes, it smells too delicious. We had a busy morning cleaning the house. I'm too hungry now. Me, too. Let's enjoy the meal. This is the best part of the day. Ah, this feels so good. The living room is clean and bright. Yes, everything looks fresh and tidy. I really love it. I can finally see the floor in my bedroom again. That's because you cleaned it well today. Good job. True, Mom. I feel proud of myself. And I'm proud of both of you. We worked so well together. I'm glad I could help you, honey. I didn't think cleaning could be fun like this. We should do this more often. Not every weekend, please, Mom. Ha, don't worry. Not every weekend. I'm happy we spent the whole day together. Me, too. It felt nice. Today was a good, happy cleaning day. Hey there, mind if I sit here? No, you can sit. Thanks. Um, you look sad. Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it? Oh, no, it's nothing. You know, when someone says it's nothing, it means they have a problem. Yeah, maybe. I'm Joe, by the way. What's your name? I'm Anna. It's nice to meet you, Anna. Sometimes talking makes you feel better. I can listen. It's... it's my English. Your English? What about it? It sounds just fine to me. At school, when I try to talk, my classmates, they laugh at me. Oh, no, I'm sorry, Anna. That must feel awful. Can you tell me what happens? Okay, so the story is... Okay, class, can you tell me what you do every day? Yes, Tom. I eat breakfast. I go to school. I play video games with my friends. Very good. Caroline, how about you? I do my homework after school. I help my mom with dinner. I watch movies on my tablet. Great. Now, Anna, your turn. What do you do every day? I... I... Um, every day, I... I... I do, um... She doesn't know. Come on, Anna, say something. Or you don't know how to say? Jacob, that's not nice. Don't laugh at others. All right, Anna, you can sit down. Anyone else? Can anyone tell me what 8 plus 3 is? It's... Oh, Anna wants to try. That's enough, Tom. Let her speak. It's e... e... 11? Correct. I can answer that in five seconds. People... people laugh at my English. I just... I don't want to talk anymore. Yeah, it hurts when people laugh. But English is just practice. Everyone starts somewhere. Can I show you a little trick? A way to make it less scary? Um, what trick? I call this trick Start Small. You say something simple, and you keep going. You don't need to think about the whole story. Just one small piece. But I don't know how to say things. Then let's start right now. Now? Yeah. If someone asks you, what do you do every day? Just answer simply. Follow what I say, okay? Okay. I wake up at 6 a.m. I... I wake up at 6 a.m. Good. Clear and simple. Next. After I wake up, I brush my teeth. Then I get dressed for school. I get dressed for school. See? Easy, right? Now I eat breakfast with my family. I eat breakfast with my family. Okay now, Anna. Let's put it together. What do you do every day? I wake up at 6 a.m. I brush my teeth. I get dressed for school. I eat breakfast with my family. And... and I walk to the bus stop. I go to my classes. After school, I read a book. That was perfect, Anna. You just need to say an action with a time or another simple idea. It is... simple. I really like your trick. Thank you, Joe. But... But what? Just tell me. But... I'm still scared. At school, people still laugh. It... it's different here. You're right. It is different. It sounds like you don't have a safe place to practice. How about this? Let's make this park your safe place. Safe place? I'll be here every day after your school. You come here and we will practice. Just us. You can say anything and I will listen. No laughing. Every day? You... you would do that? Yeah, I promise. Thank you so much. I'll do my best. Joe, can I ask? What do you do for your job? I'm almost a teacher. I help a teacher with her class at her school. Sometimes I help students, too. Oh, so you are like a teacher's helper. That sounds fun. Class, can you tell me what you did last weekend? Me, teacher. Oh, great. It's Anna. Get ready for the... uh... Jacob, you need to stop that. What? He's just saying... Class, be quiet. Go ahead, Anna. We're all listening. Last weekend, I visited my grandma. I helped her in the garden. Then we cooked dinner together. We made potato salad. It was a very good weekend. Wow, you're so great, Anna. Anna, that was wonderful. Well done. Thank you, teacher. Um, Anna, we... Go on. You guys should say something to her. Say it. Sorry for, you know, before. For laughing and make fun of you, Anna. Yeah, me too. I'm really sorry, Anna. It's all, guys. I forgive you all. And don't do that next time. That's so bad. Yes, we're sorry. Joe, I did it! You did what? I answered the question in class about my weekend. And everyone clapped for me. The teacher said it was wonderful. Tom and Jacob, they even said sorry. That's amazing. I am so, so proud of you, Anna. Thank you so much, Joe. Because of you, I... No, Anna. Because of you. You worked hard. You practiced every day. But you helped me so much. That's what friends are for. Will... will you still come here tomorrow? I wish I could. My new job starts soon. I... I can't come here every day anymore. Oh. Hey, don't be sad. You are so strong and smart now. But I cannot practice with you anymore. I'm so afraid. It's okay, girl. You found your voice. You see your power. You can do it alone, I am sure. Maybe we still can meet. Really? But when? Well, that's a secret. But I promise you may see me again. Okay. Oh, I have a small gift for you. Really? What is it? A pen. You are a teacher helper. So you need a good pen, right? For writing and helping others. Wow, this is the best gift. Thank you, Anna. I'll use it every day. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for everything. I'm happy that I met you. Yeah, me too. Goodbye, Anna. My, my. That was quite a warm goodbye. Jessie, where did you come from? Were you watching us? Relax, I was just walking by. So you know Anna? You can say so. We met by chance. You helped her, right? I saw her come here after school. Maybe, a little. Well, whatever you did, thank you. She is very different now. Much happier in class. She only needed someone to listen. You said I'm a good listener. So your new job, is it at my school? Ha, you got me. I'm the new teacher at your school. I knew it. Welcome to the school, Mr. Joe. The kids will love you. Especially Anna. Don't tell her, okay? It's a surprise. You buy me tacos tonight. And I will forget everything. What? Ugh, fine. That's what friends are for. Now, let's go. I'm hungry. Conversation one. Hey, Olivia. Good morning. Morning, Kyle. Did you find someone for the marketing job? Not yet. I hope I find the right person today. I have two more candidates this morning. How many people did you interview already? Too many. 11 people last week and none of them were good. Really? That many? Yes. This role is very important. We need someone who can work well with clients. I understand. It's a difficult job. Finding a perfect person for the role is even more difficult. Ha, that's right. Good luck today. I hope one of these two candidates is perfect. Thank you. I hope so too. Now I have to prepare for my interviews. See you later. Yeah, see you later. Conversation two. Hey. Excuse me. You are... Cassandra. I'm here for the interview. Oh, right. Please come in and sit down. The receptionist looked busy, so I just came straight here. That's okay. So did you find the office easily? Yeah, it was fine. The traffic was pretty bad, but it's okay. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like some water? No, I'm okay. Thanks. I only drink Fiji. Well, thank you for coming today. I'm Olivia, the HR manager. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. I'm Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie. Okay, Cassie. I'll ask you some questions about your experience and skills. Sure. No problem. Great. Let's start. Did you work anywhere before? Nope. I don't have any real work experience. I just finished college last month. I see. But I did some projects in my classes. What kind of projects did you do? We made some slides and posters for practice companies. You know, just school things. Okay, let me ask you this. What are you good at? Playing the guitar. I used to perform in high school events. That's nice if you're applying for a band. But we're talking about the marketing role. Hmm. I guess I want everything to be perfect. Okay. And what do you need to improve? My mood? Just kidding. Math, I guess. I hope this role doesn't require much math. Because I'm terrible at it. I see. What do you do when you have problems with co-workers? I just tell them to chill and relax. Life is too short to fight about work. All right. Now, Cassie, I need to talk about something important. Yeah? In the email we sent, we talked about our dress code. Oh. I only looked at the email quickly. I didn't read everything. Well, this job works with clients. So we have professional rules. We don't allow nose rings or any other jewelry on the face at work. That's a bit old-fashioned, don't you think? You should update the rules. I understand how you feel. We will think about it. Let's move on. What are you looking for in this job? At least $90,000 a year. You know, my college was really expensive. You want that salary because your college costs a lot of money? Yeah, exactly. Thank you for being open about that. Do you have any questions for me? No, I think I'm good. All right, Cassie. Thank you for coming today. We'll send you an email in a few days. Cool, thanks. Bye. Maybe today I won't find anyone for the job. Olivia, the next person is here. Already? He came 15 minutes early. Please tell me he's not wearing a t-shirt and jeans. He actually looks very professional. That's great. Please ask him to come in now. Okay. Good morning. I'm Tom. It's very nice to meet you. Good morning, Tom. I'm Olivia, the HR manager. Nice to meet you, too. Please sit down. Thank you. I see you arrived early today. Did you find the office easily? Yes, I looked at the map last night. I wanted to make sure I came on time. That's very good. Would you like some water? Yes, please. Thank you. So, I'll ask you a few questions today. Okay. Can you tell me about your work experience? I finished college two months ago, so I don't have work experience yet. I understand. But I usually helped my school plan events for students. Interesting. Can you tell me more? Sure. It's... I'm very impressed. Thanks. Now, Tom, what are you good at? I'm good at planning and organizing things. I can tell. And what do you need to improve? I need to get better at public speaking. I'm working on it. Let's say you have a problem with co-workers. What do you do? I think it's important to talk calmly and listen to them. Uh-huh. That way, we can find a solution together. Very good answer. Now, this job works with clients directly. I know. So, we have a dress code. No jewelry on the face, like nose rings. Yes. I read that in the email. Do you have any problems with it? Not at all. A professional look is important. Thank you for understanding. What are you looking for in this job? I'm looking for opportunities to learn and grow. Great. We offer many courses for employees. How about salary? I think $70,000 a year would be a good start. I see. Do you have any questions for me? If I get the job, when will I start? Is next week okay? Next week is perfect. Great. We'll send you an email about the results soon. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. Just so you know, I look forward to seeing you at the office next week. Conversation 4. How's work, honey? I finally found someone for the marketing job today. Really? That's great. I'm happy for you. Mom, why did it take so long to find someone? Because I needed the right person. Someone who can do the job well. Didn't the other people do a good job? Well, they made a lot of mistakes. Like what? Some people didn't learn about the company before the interview. Like when I didn't do my homework before school? That's right. What about today? I interviewed two people. The first girl didn't read the email carefully. She broke the dress rules. She also made some other mistakes. So she's bad? For the job, yes. But she's not a bad person. And the other one? His name is Tom. He was different. How? He arrived early, learned about our company, and was polite and ready to learn. That's why he got the job. Interviews sound really hard. They do. You have to prepare a lot, sweetie. I think I'll just stay in school forever so I never have to go to an interview. Don't forget to practice your English every day to improve your English level.
