[English]

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.
