You want to improve your English, but
you're just lying there doing nothing.
>> Wake up. Progress doesn't happen by
itself.
>> No more excuses. No more. Maybe
tomorrow. It's today. It's now.
>> Come with us. Make English dance in your
head. Where words stick in your mind
with better pronunciation
>> and English becomes simpler than ever.
Hit play. Speak out loud and let's start
>> 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. H 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 bucks 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.
>> Conversation three.
>> 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 for
>> 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.
