How did you feel? Yes. Before I was admitted by my senior high school, I had an interview. I felt nervous at first, but during the interview I felt confident because I made sure I had well prepared for it. For instance, I thought about possible questions the interviewer would ask me and wrote down possible answers. 2.What is a job interview? 3. What is the purpose of a job interview? A job interview is a conversation between an employer and a potential employee. It allows the interviewer to assess the job applicant to see if he or she is suitable for the position. It also provides an opportunity for the applicant to learn more about the job and the company, and to discover whether this job is right for him or her. 4.Why is it necessary to know the company and your strengths and weaknesses? 5.Why should you be “an early bird”? Knowing the company in advance will give you a good basis for what criteria are used for selecting candidates. Analysing your strengths and weaknesses can help you better understand yourself. Being an “early bird” gives me extra time to become familiar with the environment and be fully prepared. 6.How do you understand the sentence “An interview is a two-way street.” in line 43? An interview is an opportunity for the job applicant to know if this job suits his or her needs. It is also an opportunity for the company to know if the applicant is suitable for this job. The selection process works both ways. 7.What is the speaker’s purpose of having this online presentation? The target audience of this presentation are people who may not have attended any job interviews before, so the speaker wants to inform them of some practical tips for job interviews, which may help them in the future. 8. Why does the speaker use a lot of imperative sentences in his presentation? The speaker uses many imperative sentences when giving advice and tips because he wants to make the audience clearly understand what to do when facing a job interview. Imperative sentences help the speaker emphasize his points and also make it easy for the audience to remember them. 9.How does the speaker make his advice explicit in paragraph 8? To make his advice explicit, the speaker uses an example to explain his point of view. He suggests the audience seize the moment to ask questions before the interview ends, and then gives an example of a specific question. In this way,the audience clearly understands why and how to ask questions. Suppose your friend, Li Hua, attended a job interview yesterday, help him write a follow-up email to the interviewer of the company, Mr Wang. Dear Mr Wang, Thank you for offering me the opportunity to attend the interview on Tuesday. The information you shared about your company was valuable, and the possibility of applying my skills and experience to the position greatly interests me. If you should need any additional information from me, please do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Li Hua $$
