[00:09] Intro

Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 25, and today we are preparing for a job interview. The first question is almost always 'tell me about yourself.' It's your chance to make a great first impression. Let's listen to the conversation.

[00:33] Conversation

Interviewer: Kia ora, thanks for coming in today. Please, take a seat. Candidate: Kia ora, thanks for having me. It's great to be here. Interviewer: So, to kick things off, could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Candidate: Sure. I've been working in marketing for the past five years. My background is mainly in digital campaigns, and I specialize in social media strategy. Interviewer: That sounds really relevant. What interests you about our company? Candidate: I've always admired your innovative projects, and I'm looking for a new challenge where I can really make an impact. I believe my skills make me a great fit for this role. Interviewer: Awesome. Well, let's dive into some of your previous experience, shall we?

[01:18] Explains

That was a very strong start to an interview! Let's break down the vocabulary and the strategy. First, “kick things off” means “to start.” Second, Tell us a little bit about yourself. This is the core of your self-introduction. Remember, they don't want your whole life story. The core strategy here is to focus on your professional journey, your key achievements, and why you are the right person for the job. Keep it relevant and concise! Third, My background is in. A great, professional way to summarize your past experience. Fourth, I specialize in. Use this to highlight your specific area of expertise. Fifth, Looking for a new challenge. This is a very positive and motivated way to explain why you want to change jobs, rather than saying you were bored. Finally, A great fit. This shows confidence that your skills perfectly match what the company is looking for. Now let's hear the conversation again at a normal speed.

在本期节目中，我们将带大家走进新西兰的理发店（Barber/Salon）。你将学会如何告诉理发师你想要的发型，比如“修剪一下”（a trim）、“稍微打理”（a tidy up）、“两边和后面剪短”（short back and sides），以及如何提到“刘海”（fringe）和“打薄”（thin it out）。掌握这些地道表达，让你下次去剪头发时不再发愁！

[00:07] Intro

Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 24, and today we're off to the barber for a haircut. Explaining what you want can be tricky in another language, but with a few simple Kiwi phrases, you'll be sorted. Let's listen to the conversation.

[00:32] Conversation

Barber: Kia ora, mate! Take a seat. What are we doing for you today? Customer: Kia ora. I just need a bit of a tidy up, please. It's getting too long. Barber: Sweet as. How much do you want off the top? Customer: Just a trim, maybe a couple of centimetres off the top. Barber: And what about the sides and the back? Customer: Just a short back and sides, please. Maybe a number two on the clippers. Barber: A number two on the sides, no worries. How about the fringe? Customer: Keep the fringe a bit longer so I can sweep it to the side. Oh, and can you thin it out a bit? It's quite thick. Barber: Yeah, absolutely. I'll use the thinning scissors. All done, mate. What do you reckon? Customer: Yeah, choice. Exactly what I was after. Cheers!

[01:18] Explains

That was a successful trip to the barber! Let's break down the vocabulary. First, a tidy up. This means a small haircut just to make it look neat. Second, a trim. T-R-I-M. This also means cutting off just a little bit of hair. Third, short back and sides. A very common and classic men's haircut style. Fourth, number two on the clippers. Clippers are electric hair clippers, and the numbers are the guard sizes. A number two is quite short. Fifth, fringe. F-R-I-N-G-E. This is the hair that hangs down over your forehead. In American English, it's called 'bangs', but in New Zealand, it's a fringe. Sixth, thin it out. If your hair is very thick, the barber can thin it out to remove some volume. Finally, choice. Meaning excellent or great. Now let's hear the conversation again at a normal speed.

Barber: Kia ora, mate! Take a seat. What are we doing for you today? Customer: Kia ora. I just need a bit of a tidy up, please. It's getting too long. Barber: Sweet as.

Good as gold! Next time you go for a haircut, you can confidently ask for a trim or a short back and sides. Don't forget your fringe! Thanks for tuning in to the Kiwi English Booster. Catch you later!

在本期节目中，我们将继续新西兰急诊中心（Urgent Care）的场景。这次是关于在户外被虫子咬了（bitten by a bug）或者被蜜蜂蛰了（stung by a bee）该怎么说。你会学到如何描述过敏反应（allergic reaction），比如严重的肿胀（swelling）、皮疹（rash）和发痒（itchy），以及如何向医生获取抗过敏药（antihistamine）或药膏（cream）。当然，也会复习到一些新西兰的用语习惯。掌握这些，让你在享受新西兰户外时光时更加安心！

[00:09] Intro

Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 23, and we're back at the Urgent Care clinic. Spending time outdoors in New Zealand is great, but sometimes you might get stung by a bee or bitten by a bug. Today, you'll learn how to describe an allergic reaction, ask for antihistamines, and explain symptoms like swelling and rashes. Let's listen to the conversation.

[00:40] Conversation

Doctor: Kia ora! What can I do for you today? Patient: Kia ora, doctor. I was gardening this morning and I think I got stung by a bee on my arm. It was quite painful at first, but now it's really swollen and itchy. Doctor: Let's have a look... Yes, that's quite a bit of swelling. Are you having any trouble breathing, or have you noticed any swelling around your lips or tongue? Patient: No, nothing like that. I just have this rash around the sting, and it's getting itchier. Doctor: That's good. It looks like a localised allergic reaction, which is quite common after a bee sting. Have you ever had a serious reaction to a bee sting before? Patient: No. I've been stung before, but it's never swollen up this much. Doctor: Sometimes reactions can be different from one sting to the next. I'd recommend taking a non-drowsy antihistamine to help with the itching and swelling. You can also apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream twice a day. Patient: Do I need a prescription for those? Doctor: No, both are available over the counter at your local pharmacy. You should also put an ice pack on the area for about 15 minutes at a time, several times today, and try not to scratch it. Patient: Sweet as. I'll stop by the pharmacy on my way home. Thanks, doctor. Doctor: No worries. If you develop trouble breathing, swelling of your lips or tongue, or you feel faint or dizzy, call 111 straight away or go to the nearest emergency department. Otherwise, the swelling should settle over the next few days. Take care!

[02:49] Explains

Let's break down the language from that visit. First, stung by a bee. When a bee hurts you with its stinger. Second, bitten by a bug. When an insect like a spider bites you. Third, swelling. When the skin puffs up and gets bigger. Fourth, allergic reaction. When your body reacts badly to something like a sting. Fifth, rash. Red spots or patches on your skin. Sixth, itchy. That feeling when you want to scratch your skin. Seventh, antihistamine. Medicine to treat allergic reactions. Eighth, EpiPen. A special injection for very severe allergies. Ninth, apply cream. To rub medicine onto your skin. And finally, over the counter. Medicine you can buy without a doctor's prescription. Now let's hear the conversation again at a normal speed.

[03:47] Conversation copy

Doctor: Kia ora! What can I do for you today? Patient: Kia ora, doctor. I was gardening this morning and I think I got stung by a bee on my arm. It was quite painful at first, but now it's really swollen and itchy. Doctor: Let's have a look... Yes, that's quite a bit of swelling. Are you having any trouble breathing, or have you noticed any swelling around your lips or tongue? Patient: No, nothing like that. I just have this rash around the sting, and it's getting itchier.

[05:22] End

Good as gold! Now you know exactly what to say if you run into a grumpy bee or bug in New Zealand. Remember the difference between a sting and a bite, and don't hesitate to ask for an antihistamine if you need it. Thanks for tuning in to the Kiwi English Booster. Catch you later!

在本期节目中，我们将模拟在意外受伤后去新西兰急诊中心（Urgent Care）看医生的场景。比如周末去徒步（tramping）不小心摔倒扭伤了脚踝（sprained ankle）。你会学到如何向医生描述伤情（如 swollen 肿胀，throbbing 阵痛），如何获取止痛药（pain relief）和拐杖（crutches），以及了解新西兰独有的意外伤害赔偿局（ACC）如何帮你支付医药费。当然，还少不了一些地道的新西兰俚语：she'll be right（一切都会好起来的）、give it a rest（让它休息一下）。掌握这些，让你在新西兰遇到意外受伤时也能从容应对！

[00:09] Intro

Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 22, and today we're visiting an Urgent Care clinic. If you have an accident in New Zealand, like a sprained ankle from tramping, you need to know how to talk to a doctor and understand ACC, the Accident Compensation Corporation. You'll learn how to describe your injury, ask for pain relief, and some casual Kiwi phrases for reassurance. Let's listen to the conversation.

[00:34] Conversation

Doctor: Kia ora! Come on in and take a seat. I'm Dr. Sarah. What brings you in today? Patient: Kia ora, Dr. Sarah. Yeah, I had a bit of a fall while I was tramping on the weekend. I think I've sprained my ankle. It's pretty swollen. Doctor: Ouch, that sounds painful. Let's have a look. Does it hurt when I press here? Patient: Ah, yeah, right there. It's really throbbing. Do you reckon it's broken? Doctor: Well, it's definitely a nasty sprain, but I don't think it's broken. We'll get an X-ray just to be safe. Since it's an accident, we'll lodge an ACC claim for you to cover the costs. Patient: Oh, sweet as. Thanks. What about the pain? Should I take something for it? Doctor: Yes, I'll prescribe some strong pain relief, and you can grab some crutches on your way out. You need to keep the weight off it and give it a rest for a few days. Patient: Right, will do. How long do you reckon until I'm back on my feet? Doctor: Give it a couple of weeks. Take it easy, and she'll be right. Patient: Choice. Thanks a lot, Dr. Sarah. Doctor: No worries. The nurse will sort out your ACC form and crutches. Take care!

[01:34] Explains

That was a very typical visit to the doctor for an injury! Let's break down the language. First, tramping. This is the Kiwi word for hiking or long walks in the bush. Second, sprained. S-P-R-A-I-N-E-D. To injure a joint, like an ankle or wrist, by twisting it. Third, swollen. When a part of your body gets bigger because of an injury. Fourth, throbbing. A beating pain. Fifth, ACC. This stands for Accident Compensation Corporation. In New Zealand, ACC helps pay for medical costs if you have an accident. Sixth, lodge a claim. To formally apply for ACC. Seventh, pain relief. Medicine to stop the pain. Eighth, crutches. Sticks you put under your arms to help you walk when your leg is hurt. Ninth, give it a rest. To stop using the injured part so it can heal. And finally, she'll be right. A classic Kiwi phrase meaning 'everything will be okay'. Now let's hear it again at a natural, faster pace.

[02:48] Conversation fast

Doctor: Kia ora! Come on in and take a seat. I'm Dr. Sarah. What brings you in today? Patient: Kia ora, Dr. Sarah. Yeah, I had a bit of a fall while I was tramping on the weekend.

在本期节目中，我们将模拟一次求职电话初筛（phone screening）——面试前招聘顾问打来的那通简短电话。你会学到如何表现出积极的态度、如何谈论离职通知期（notice period）和期望薪资，以及一堆地道的新西兰口语：give you a buzz（打电话给你）、touch base（联系确认一下）、keen / keen as（很有兴趣）、up my alley（正合我意）、suss out（弄清楚、搞明白）、reckon（我觉得）、chuffed（很开心）和 choice（太棒了）。掌握这些，让你在新西兰求职时电话应对自如！

[00:09] Intro

Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 21, and today we're taking a phone screening — that first quick call from a recruiter before a proper interview. You'll learn how to sound keen, how to talk about your notice period and pay, and some casual Kiwi phrases you'll hear on the phone. Let's listen to the conversation.

[00:34] Conversation

Recruiter: Kia ora, is that Liam? It's Steph calling from Kowhai Recruitment. Have you got a couple of minutes for a quick chat? Candidate: Oh, kia ora Steph! Yeah, now's good. Thanks for giving me a buzz. Recruiter: Sweet as. So, we got your application for the developer role, and it looks pretty solid. I just wanted to touch base before we set up a proper interview. Candidate: Yeah, I'm really keen on this one. It looks right up my alley. Recruiter: Good to hear. So tell me, what's your current situation? Are you working at the moment? Candidate: Yeah, I am, but I've sussed out that it's time for a change. I'm on a four-week notice period, though. Recruiter: No worries, four weeks is pretty standard. And what sort of pay are you after, roughly? Candidate: I reckon somewhere around ninety-five to a hundred K would be about right. Recruiter: That's within range, so that's all good. Right, I'm pretty chuffed with this chat. I'll line up an interview with the team and flick you an email. Candidate: Choice, thanks so much Steph. Keen as to meet the team. Recruiter: No dramas. Catch you soon, Liam. Ka kite!

[01:43] Explains

That was a friendly phone screening! Let's break down the language. First, give you a buzz. This is casual Kiwi for calling someone on the phone. 'I'll give you a buzz later' means I'll call you. Second, touch base. This means to make quick contact to check in. The recruiter wanted to touch base before the real interview. Third, keen. K-E-E-N. This means interested and enthusiastic. 'I'm really keen' means I really want it, and 'keen as' is an even stronger, very Kiwi way to say it. Fourth, up my alley. If something is 'right up my alley', it suits you perfectly. Fifth, suss out. To 'suss out' something means to figure it out. He sussed out that it was time for a change. Sixth, notice period. This is how long you must keep working after you resign, before you can leave your current job. Seventh, reckon. R-E-C-K-O-N. A very common Kiwi word meaning 'think' or 'believe'. 'I reckon' means 'I think'. Eighth, chuffed. This means pleased or happy about something. And finally, choice. On its own, 'Choice!' is Kiwi slang for 'great' or 'excellent'. Now let's hear it again at a natural, faster pace.

[02:52] Conversation copy

Recruiter: Kia ora, is that Liam? It's Steph calling from Kowhai Recruitment. Have you got a couple of minutes for a quick chat? Candidate: Oh, kia ora Steph! Yeah, now's good.

🎬 短视频预热 (Short Video Intro)

Kia ora! Just started a job in New Zealand? Before you get paid, you'll need an 'IRD number' and a 'tax code'. Want to understand the Kiwi tax basics? If you like this show, please follow, like, or save this video! Let's listen to the conversation.

🎙️ 节目开场白 (Intro)

Kia ora! Welcome back to the 'Kiwi English Booster'. This is Episode 14, and today we are calling Inland Revenue to sort out our tax. When you start working in New Zealand, there are a few essential tax words you must know. Let's listen to the conversation.

💬 情景对话 (Conversations)

Speaker 1 : Kia ora, you've reached Inland Revenue, how can I help?

Speaker 2 : Hi, I've just moved to New Zealand and started a job. I think I need an IRD number?

Speaker 1 : Yes, you'll need an IRD number so you're taxed correctly. Have you applied for one yet?

Speaker 2 : Not yet. What's it for exactly?

Speaker 1 : It's your personal tax number. Your employer uses it, along with your tax code, to take the right amount of tax from your pay. That system is called PAYE.

Speaker 2 : PAYE? So the tax comes out automatically?

Speaker 1 : That's right, Pay As You Earn. The tax is taken out before you even get your wages. Did your employer mention KiwiSaver?

Speaker 2 : A little. Is that a retirement savings thing?

Speaker 1 : Exactly, KiwiSaver is our work-based savings scheme for retirement. Just a heads up, if you start a business later, you may also need to register for GST.

Speaker 2 (checking): GST being the tax on goods and services?

Speaker 1 (confirming): Spot on. It's 15 percent on most things. But for now, let's just get your IRD number sorted.

Speaker 2 (grateful): Sounds good, thanks so much for your help.

💡 词汇与表达解析

That was a helpful chat about tax! Let's break down these important words. First, IRD number. IRD stands for Inland Revenue Department, the tax office. Your IRD number is your unique personal tax number, and you need it to work and pay tax in New Zealand. Second, Tax code. This is a short code, like a letter combination, that tells your employer how much tax to take out of your pay. Third, PAYE. P-A-Y-E. This stands for 'Pay As You Earn'. It means your tax is automatically taken out of your wages before you receive them. Fourth, KiwiSaver. K-I-W-I-S-A-V-E-R. This is New Zealand's work-based savings scheme to help you save for retirement. Both you and your employer put money in. Fifth, GST. G-S-T. This stands for Goods and Services Tax. It's a 15 percent tax included in the price of most things you buy. Finally, Heads up. To 'give someone a heads up' means to give them an early warning or a useful piece of information in advance. Now let's hear how it sounds in a real environment with a natural, faster pace.

🏁 节目结语 (End)

Ka pai! Now you know your IRD number from your tax code, and how PAYE and KiwiSaver work. Just a heads up, getting these sorted early makes life so much easier! Thanks for tuning in to the Kiwi English Booster. Catch you later!

Kia ora! Welcome back to the 'Kiwi English Booster'. This is Episode 6, and today we are talking about buying a used car. It's a good choice, but you need to ask the right questions to avoid any hidden problems. Let's listen to the conversation.

Speaker 1: Kia ora. I’m after a reliable SUV for the family. Need a decent-sized boot as well for the pram and luggage.
Speaker 2: Yeah mate, this one should do the job. Plenty of space in the back, and it’s been well looked after.
Speaker 1: Sweet. Does it come with a new WOF and rego?
Speaker 2: Yep. WOF was just done last week, and it’s got six months rego on it.
Speaker 1: Nice. Any major work been done recently? Cambelt and servicing all up to date?
Speaker 2: Yep, servicing’s all up to date. Cambelt was done not long ago as well.
Speaker 1: Good stuff. I noticed there aren’t any roof racks on it though. We do a few road trips now and then, so they’d be pretty handy.
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, shouldn’t be a problem. If we can sort out a deal, we can get some fitted for you.
Speaker 1: Sounds good. Mind if I take it for a test drive?
Speaker 2: Yeah of course, keys are here mate.

That was a great chat with some crucial car-buying vocabulary!
First, Boot. Spelled B-O-O-T. In New Zealand, this is what we call the trunk of the car.
Second, Pram. P-R-A-M. This is the Kiwi word for a baby stroller or pushchair.
Third, WOF. Spelled W-O-F. It stands for Warrant of Fitness, which is a mandatory safety check for vehicles.
Lastly, Rego. R-E-G-O. This is short for vehicle registration.
Now let's hear how it sounds in a busy environment with a natural, faster pace.
(Repeat Conversation at a natural pace)

Awesome! Now you know exactly what to ask when you are checking out vehicles at a car yard, from negotiating roof racks to checking the WOF and boot space. Thanks for tuning in to the Kiwi English Booster. Catch you later!

Kia ora! Welcome back to the 'Kiwi English Booster'. This is Episode 06, and today we are getting ready for the winter season by sorting out a flu jab for the kids.
Winter is coming, and getting a flu vaccine is a great way to stay healthy. But what if you are new to New Zealand, haven't found a regular GP yet, and want to know if your child under three can get vaccinated? It involves a few more steps like registering as a casual patient and updating overseas records. Let's listen to the conversation between a clinic receptionist and a parent.
Receptionist: Kia ora! City Medical Centre, how can I help you today?
Parent: Kia ora! I'm calling to see if I can get a flu jab for my two-year-old. We aren't enrolled with a GP here yet. Can kids under three get it as a casual patient?
Receptionist: Yep, no worries at all. Toddlers can definitely get the flu vaccine. Since you're not enrolled, we'll need to set you up as a casual patient first, and the wee one needs to be registered under your name.
Parent: Sweet as. What documents do I need to bring in?
Receptionist: You'll need to bring passports and visa details for both you and your child. Also, before we do the jab, we'll need to book a quick consultation to get their overseas vaccination records sorted in our system.
Parent: Good on ya, mate. I'll pop in tomorrow with the paperwork. Cheers!
There were some very helpful details in there! Let's look at some Kiwi terms.
First, Flu jab. F-L-U space J-A-B. In New Zealand, people usually say 'jab' instead of 'shot' or 'injection'.
Second, Wee one. W-E-E space O-N-E. 'Wee' means small, so this is an affectionate way to say little child.
Third, No worries. N-O space W-O-R-R-I-E-S. This is a very common way of saying 'it's fine' or 'not a problem'.
Lastly, Pop in. P-O-P space I-N. This means to visit a place quickly or drop by.
Now let's hear how it sounds in a busy environment with a natural, faster pace.
Receptionist: Kia ora! City Medical Centre, how can I help you today?
Parent: Kia ora! I'm calling to see if I can get a flu jab for my two-year-old. We aren't enrolled with a GP here yet. Can kids under three get it as a casual patient?
Receptionist: Yep, no worries at all. Toddlers can definitely get the flu vaccine. Since you're not enrolled, we'll need to set you up as a casual patient first, and the wee one needs to be registered under your name.

In Episode 4, we hit the gym! Alex visits Jetts for a free trial. Learn how to check in for an appointment, follow a gym tour, and ask about membership fees, all while picking up essential Kiwi slang like 'yarn', 'fortnightly', and 'cheap as chips'.

Transcript:

Alex: Kia ora, mate. I'm Alex. I booked a free trial session online for today.
GymStaff: Gidday Alex! Sweet as, I've got your name right here on the system. Welcome to Jetts. Have you brought your gym gear and a towel?
Alex: Yep, all sorted in my bag. Could you show me around a bit?
GymStaff: No worries at all. Over there is the cardio zone, and out the back is the free weights area. The changing rooms and water cooler are just down the hall. Feel free to have a good yarn with the personal trainers if you need a hand.
Alex: Choice, the place looks great. Just quickly, what are the membership fees like if I decide to sign up?
GymStaff: It's pretty cheap as chips, mate. It is normally a fortnightly direct debit, and we have no lock-in contracts. I will grab you a pricing brochure while you go have your workout.

In Episode 3, we tackle a common shopping frustration: finding an item that is 'in stock' online but missing from the shelf. Learn how to communicate with floor staff and the service desk using SKUs, and master phrases like 'out the back' and 'hang tight'.
