After video practice:
How do you rephrase a question to a more polite way?
What are the meanings of the following words : achievement, sales, strength and weakness.

As an interviewer, why do you provide positive feedback to the person you interviewed and also how do you do so? ( Listen to the video again and you will be able to understand and get the answer )


Now if you are the interviewee or the person who is being interviewed. Then there are more things for you to learn or to be aware of.

First, how to answer the interviewer's question in a satisfactory manner and give a good impression about yourself are the important keys to have your job secure.

Take a break

Let's take a break, don't be too stressed.




Here folks, this is the resting point and at the same time a learning while enjoying time.
Mind your English...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIW4GLK22k

This comedy has given a feature of world Englishes in a broad sense.
Different accents and even sometimes lexical borrowing or in simple term word borrowing from other languages may occur too. The videos have subtitles and it is very easy for you to understand what is being said by all the actors.

Do try to focus the way Mr.Brown speaks. His accent and pronunciation is close to the Standard English in the London area, therefore it is a very good practice for you to listen and get used to it.

The second link here takes you another journey to the funny world of learning English with Mr.Brown.

Please sit back and enjoy
