Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
My name is Catherine and today we're bringing you another elementary level lesson as a part of our interview series.
4
That's right.
5
This is part two of the interview series and the last part we talked about, well, a brief introduction when you arrive to a job interview.
6
But on this occasion, we're going to talk a little bit about yourself and your life.
7
That's right.
8
So this is the most personal part, I think, of an interview.
9
Let's take a listen to today's dialogue, and we'll be back in a moment to talk more about the things that you've heard.
10
Now, Ms. Child's passed on your resume to me, and I've had a chance to look it over.
11
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
12
Thank you very much.
13
I've tried to keep it short and clear.
14
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me.
15
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
16
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
17
Yes, of course.
18
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
19
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
20
Ah, I see.
21
So you were actually educated in Europe.
22
Yes, precisely.
23
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
24
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
25
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, too.
26
Very interesting.
27
So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
28
Absolutely.
29
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
30
I see.
31
Okay, well, let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
32
Sure.
33
Alright, we're back.
34
So obviously this person had a very interesting life and they used some pretty interesting words there.
35
So why don't we take a look at five key words that we have prepared for you on language takeaway.
36
Language takeaway.
37
Alright, so the first word that we have is right
38
when Mr. Parsons talked to Miss Childs and he said that he was very impressed with her resume.
39
All right.
40
So someone says, I'm impressed when they think that something
41
that you did or something about you is very interesting or good or better than most people's.
42
That's right.
43
So you're kind of amazed.
44
You're kind of, you're like, wow.
45
Right.
46
And so this is an adjective.
47
I am impressed.
48
That's right.
49
So teachers sometimes say this.
50
Maybe when you do really, really, really well on a test, they say, hey, Marco, I'm really impressed.
51
You got 99 percent.
52
Parents say this to friends, family.
53
So basically this is a way to say good job.
54
Wow.
55
Right, and there's also a verb.
56
So this is the adjective to be impressed and the verb form would be to impress someone.
57
So that's obviously if you impress your teacher by studying, your teacher will be impressed.
58
That's right.
59
And following that, Mr. Parson has some questions about Ms. Child's background.
60
That's right.
61
He asked her for a brief overview of her background.
62
So we have two interesting words there.
63
An overview.
64
What is an overview?
65
An overview is like a summary.
66
It's basically a way to ask for someone to give you a lot of information in very few words.
67
That's right.
68
So you don't really want too much details.
69
You don't want somebody to tell you their life in detail.
70
You just want a brief summary.
71
Right.
72
So not, I was born on August 11th in 1979 and I was, and then I went into this.
73
No, this is basic, simple, you know, this is where I'm from.
74
This is where I went to school at the end.
75
And, well, he wanted a brief overview of her background.
76
What exactly is her background?
77
Well, think about the word back.
78
Okay, that means behind.
79
Or in this case, background is your personal history.
80
So you could ask someone, what's your background?
81
It means, where are you from?
82
Or, you know, what have you been doing up to now in your life?
83
That's right.
84
And precisely when he asked her about her background, now she's starting to talk about her life.
85
In general terms, as we said, it's an overview.
86
So she said that she's 27 and she's from Brooklyn, etc. So she starts giving very general information about herself and her life.
87
Exactly.
88
So when she starts to do this, Mr. Parson has more specific questions about her life because he wants to know details.
89
So he asks her then where she was educated. So this.
90
phrase to be educated is very important.
91
That's right.
92
So he's asking her you studied in Europe.
93
That's right.
94
To be educated means to have someone teach you or to go to school somewhere.
95
So for example, I was educated in America.
96
Where were you educated, Marco?
97
I was educated in Chile.
98
Wow.
99
So you've been educated in a number of different places, right?
100
At home and in a different country.
101
Right.
102
But you can also specify the university name, right?
103
For example, I was educated at Harvard.
104
Can you say that you can or I was educated at a number of different schools
105
So you can say I studied or I was educated
106
All right, and well apparently she was moving around from Europe United States
107
So mr. Parsons says wow it seems that you had an adventurous childhood
108
Okay, this is a great adjective adventurous.
109
You can say a person is adventurous.
110
So Marco is very adventurous
111
He likes to jump out of airplanes.
112
But you can also say that an experience is adventurous, like moving around a lot as a child.
113
Right.
114
So I guess adventurous can go hand in hand with exciting or very interesting, full of emotion.
115
That's right.
116
Okay.
117
Adventure, adventurous.
118
So a person can be adventurous.
119
And we actually had a lesson about this when we described personalities.
120
You can say someone is adventurous.
121
All right.
122
Very good it so five key words
123
that we just took a look at why don't we go back listen to the dialogue again
124
and we'll be back to talk a little bit more on fluency builder
125
now this child's passed on your resume to me
126
and I've had a chance to look it over I must say
127
I'm quite impressed thank you very much I've tried to keep it short
128
and clear if there are any questions please feel free to ask me
129
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
130
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
131
Yes, of course.
132
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
133
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
134
Ah, I see.
135
So you were actually educated in Europe.
136
Yes, precisely.
137
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
138
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
139
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, too.
140
Very interesting.
141
So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
142
Absolutely.
143
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
144
I see.
145
Okay, well, let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
146
Sure.
147
All right, we're back.
148
So we have four phrases for you on Fluency Builder prepared.
149
And let's start on with the first one.
150
Fluency Builder.
151
Okay, so the very beginning, Mr. Parsons is continuing what he was saying in our first part.
152
So Mr. Parsons is talking about Rebecca's resume and he says, someone, the secretary, she passed it on to me.
153
So this verb, to pass on.
154
This is really important.
155
What does this mean?
156
Well, the secretary, Ms. Childs, passed on Rebecca's resume.
157
That basically means Ms. Childs received it and she didn't keep it.
158
She passed it on or she gave it to another person, in this case, Mr. Parsons.
159
Okay, so this implies, this shows that something doesn't stay with one person, like you said, Marco, but it moves from one person to another person.
160
So, for example, my mother told me to pass this message on to you.
161
The message is not for me.
162
It's for you.
163
I think also with physical traits, like maybe if your mother had green eyes,
164
you can maybe say, my mom passed on her eye color on to me.
165
That's right.
166
So you got it from her.
167
All right.
168
So that's what happened with the resume.
169
And he said, well, she passed it on and I've had the chance to look it over.
170
Okay, so think about this as a chunk, as a group of words that we use together.
171
To look something over, we can say, hey, Marco, when you have a minute, can you look this over for me?
172
Okay, so that means to examine or to take a look.
173
Take a look at, that's right.
174
So to look something over or to look it over.
175
All right, so basically to examine, maybe in close detail, right?
176
You actually take the time to read it.
177
That's right.
178
Okay.
179
And then later on, they started talking about her background.
180
As we know, she was from Brooklyn.
181
She grew up in Brooklyn and then she moved to London.
182
And so Rebecca described how she spent most of her life moving from country to country.
183
Okay.
184
From country to country.
185
This means that she moved to many different countries.
186
Okay, so if I live in America all my life, I never moved from country to country.
187
You can say this about many different things from place to place from town to town.
188
It means that you live in one you go from one place to another.
189
That's right.
190
So as you said, if you replace the noun country, you can say from town to town.
191
You can even say from house to house.
192
I went from house to house asking for money.
193
That's right.
194
So from to.
195
Exactly.
196
So from something to something and For our final phrase
197
She was talking about how she's moved around so much that she's actually ready to settle down
198
Okay to settle down
199
This is a really important phrase
200
and I think it's something a lot of people do when they're maybe in their 30s or 40s
201
They don't want to move anymore.
202
So to settle down means to stay in one place
203
Exactly so you stay in one place and it can have a lot of different meanings as well
204
For example, to get married, many people say that's settling down.
205
It means you want to stay in one place and have a family.
206
Or to buy a house because it means that you will live there for a long time.
207
Exactly.
208
So, to settle down.
209
So, a lot of interesting phrases there, a lot of words, and this is, as we said, part two of our series.
210
So, I think it would be worthy for us to listen to this dialogue one last time,
211
and we'll be back to talk a little bit more.
212
Now, Ms. Child's passed on your resume to me and I've had a chance to look it over.
213
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
214
Thank you very much.
215
I've tried to keep it short and clear.
216
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me.
217
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
218
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
219
Yes, of course.
220
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
221
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
222
Ah, I see.
223
So you were actually educated in Europe?
224
Yes, precisely.
225
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
226
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
227
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia too.
228
Very interesting.
229
So seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
230
Absolutely.
231
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
232
I see.
233
Okay, well let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
234
Sure.
235
Alright, we're back.
236
So this is part two of a ten -part series of the interviews.
237
Now, we just talked about the background
238
and I think there are different ways of talking about your background right
239
this is maybe your personal background that's right
240
so you can talk about your personal history your personal background
241
where you were born where you were educated where you grew up
242
but a lot of times we also have to talk about other parts of our background like our work background
243
or like next week our educational background that's right so
244
So part three, we're going to take a look at your educational background.
245
And it's going to be very important because I think in many interviews, people have a hard time describing what they studied
246
or maybe describing exactly what they did during university or college or master's degree or something.
247
Exactly.
248
And we're not talking about elementary school or high school.
249
We're specifically talking about university background here.
250
So like you're saying, Marco, what was your major?
251
What was your minor?
252
What was your area of study?
253
These are great, great, great phrases that are very important for an interview.
254
And so, we hope that if you have any questions, you'll let us know.
255
Our website is EnglishPod .com and stay tuned for next week's episode.
256
That's right.
257
Okay, so we'll see everyone on the website and until next time.

Now, Ms. Child's passed on your resume to me and I've had a chance to look it over.
318
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
319
Thank you very much.
320
I've tried to keep it short and clear.
321
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me.
322
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
323
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
324
Yes, of course.
325
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
326
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
327
Ah, I see.
328
So you were actually educated in Europe.
329
Yes, precisely.
330
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
331
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
332
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, too.
333
Very interesting.
334
So seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
335
Absolutely.
336
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
337
I see.
338
Okay, well let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
339
Sure.
340
Alright, we're back.
341
So obviously this person had a very interesting life and they use some pretty interesting words there.
342
So why don't we take a look at five key words that we have prepared for you on language takeaway.
343
Language takeaway
344
Alright, so the first word that we have is right
345
when Mr. Parsons talked to Miss Childs and he said that he was very impressed with her resume.
346
Alright, so someone says, I'm impressed when they think that something
347
that you did or something about you is very interesting or good or better than most people's.
348
That's right.
349
So you're kind of amazed.
350
You're kind of, you're like, wow.
351
Right.
352
And so this is an adjective.
353
I am impressed.
354
That's right.
355
So teachers sometimes say this.
356
Maybe when you do really, really, really well on a test, they say, hey, Marco, I'm really impressed.
357
You got 99 percent.
358
Parents say this to friends, family.
359
So basically, this is a way to say good job.
360
Wow.
361
Right, and there's also a verb.
362
So this is the adjective to be impressed and the verb form would be to impress someone.
363
So that's obviously if you impress your teacher by studying, your teacher will be impressed.
364
That's right.
365
And following that, Mr. Parson has some questions about Ms. Child's background.
366
That's right.
367
He asked her for a brief overview of her background.
368
So we have two interesting words there.
369
An overview.
370
What is an overview?
371
An overview is like a summary.
372
It's basically a way to ask for someone to give you a lot of information in very few words.
373
That's right.
374
So you don't really want too much details.
375
You don't want somebody to tell you their life in detail.
376
You just want a brief summary.
377
Right.
378
So not, I was born on August 11th in 1979 and I was and then I went into this and no, this is basic, simple.
379
You know, this is where I'm from.
380
This is where I went to school at the end.
381
And, well, he wanted a brief overview of her background.
382
What exactly is her background?
383
Well, think about the word back.
384
Okay, that means behind.
385
Or in this case, background is your personal history.
386
So you could ask someone, what's your background?
387
It means, where are you from?
388
Or, you know, what have you been doing up to now in your life?
389
That's right.
390
And precisely when he asked her about her background, now she's starting to talk about her life.
391
In general terms, as we said, it's an overview.
392
So she said that she's 27 and she's from Brooklyn, etc. So she starts giving very general information about herself and her life.
393
Exactly.
394
So when she starts to do this, Mr. Parson has more specific questions about her life because he wants to know details.
395
So he asks her then where she was educated.
396
So this phrase, to be educated, is very important.
397
That's right.
398
So he's asking her you studied in Europe.
399
That's right to be educated means to have someone teach you or to go to school
400
Somewhere so for example, I was educated in America.
401
Where were you educated Marco?
402
I was educated in Chile Wow
403
So you've been educated in a number of different places right at home and in a different country, right?
404
But you can also specify the University name right for example.
405
I was educated at Harvard.
406
Can you say that you can
407
or I was educated at a number of different schools
408
so you can say I studied or I was educated mm -hmm all right
409
and well apparently she was moving around from Europe United States
410
so mr. Parsons says wow it seems
411
that you had an adventurous childhood okay this is a great adjective adventurous you can say a person is adventurous so
412
Marco is very adventurous he likes to jump out of airplanes but you can also say that an experience is adventurous,
413
like moving around a lot as a child.
414
Right.
415
So I guess adventurous can go hand in hand with exciting or very interesting, full of emotion.
416
That's right.
417
Okay.
418
Adventure, adventurous.
419
So a person can be adventurous.
420
And we actually had a lesson about this when we describe personalities.
421
You can say someone is adventurous.
422
Exactly.
423
All right.
424
Very good.
425
So five key words that we just took a look at.
426
Why don't we go back, listen to the dialogue again, and we'll be back to talk a little bit more on Fluency Builder.
427
Now, Ms. Child's passed on your resume to me, and I've had a chance to look it over.
428
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
429
Thank you very much.
430
I've tried to keep it short and clear.
431
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me.
432
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
433
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
434
Yes, of course.
435
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27.
436
and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
437
Ah, I see.
438
So you were actually educated in Europe?
439
Yes, precisely.
440
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
441
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
442
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia too.
443
Very interesting.
444
So seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
445
Absolutely.
446
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
447
I see.
448
Okay, well let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
449
Sure.
450
Alright, we're back.
451
So we have four phrases for you on Fluency Builder prepared, and let's start on with the first one.
452
Fluency Builder Okay, so at the very beginning, Mr. Parsons is continuing what he was saying in our first part.
453
So, Mr. Parsons is talking about Rebecca's resume, and he says, someone, the secretary, she passed it on to me.
454
So, this verb, to pass on.
455
This is really important.
456
What does this mean?
457
Well, the secretary, Ms. Childs, passed on Rebecca's resume.
458
That basically means she, Miss Childs received it and she didn't keep it.
459
She passed it on or she gave it to another person.
460
In this case, Mr. Parsons.
461
Okay, so this implies, this shows that something doesn't stay with one person, like you said, Marco, but it moves from one person to another person.
462
So, for example, my mother told me to pass this message on to you.
463
The message is not for me, it's for you.
464
I think also with physical traits, like maybe if your mother had green eyes,
465
you can maybe say, my mom passed on her eye color onto me.
466
That's right.
467
So you got it from her.
468
All right.
469
So that's what happened with the resume.
470
And he said, well, she passed it on and I've had the chance to look it over.
471
Okay, so think about this as a chunk, as a group of words that we use together.
472
To look something over, we can say, hey, Marco, when you have a minute, can you look this over for me?
473
Okay, so that means to examine or to take a look.
474
Take a look at, that's right.
475
So, to look something over or to look it over.
476
Alright, so basically to examine, maybe in close detail, right?
477
You actually take the time to read it.
478
That's right.
479
Okay.
480
And then later on, they started talking about her background.
481
As we know, she was from Brooklyn.
482
She grew up in Brooklyn and then she moved to London.
483
And so Rebecca described how she spent most of her life moving from country to country.
484
Okay, from country to country.
485
This means that she moved to many different countries.
486
Okay, so if I live in America all my life, I never moved from country to country.
487
You can say this about many different things from place to place from town to town.
488
It means that you live in one you go from one place to another.
489
That's right.
490
So as you said, if you replace the noun country, you can say from town to town.
491
You can even say from house to house.
492
I went from house to house asking for money.
493
That's right.
494
So from hmm to hmm.
495
Exactly.
496
So from something to something.
497
And for our final phrase, she was talking about how she's moved around so much that she's actually ready to settle down.
498
Okay, to settle down.
499
This is a really important phrase
500
and I think it's something a lot of people do when they're maybe in their 30s or 40s.
501
They don't want to move anymore.
502
So to settle down means to stay in one place.
503
Exactly.
504
So you stay in one place and it can have a lot of different meanings as well.
505
For example, to get married.
506
Many people say that's settling down.
507
It means you want to stay in one place and have a family.
508
Or to buy a house because it means that you will live there for a long time.
509
Exactly.
510
So, to settle down.
511
So, a lot of interesting phrases there, a lot of words, and this is, as we said, part two of our series.
512
So, I think it would be worthy for us to listen to this dialogue one last time,
513
and we'll be back to talk a little bit more.
514
now this child's passed on your resume to me
515
and i've had a chance to look it over i must say
516
i'm quite impressed thank you very much i've tried to keep it short and clear
517
if there are any questions please feel free to ask me well yes i do have a number of questions
518
but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview
519
i'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
520
Yes, of course.
521
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
522
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young.
523
At around 16.
524
Ah, I see.
525
So you were actually educated in Europe.
526
Yes, precisely.
527
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
528
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
529
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia too.
530
Very interesting.
531
So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
532
Absolutely.
533
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
534
I see.
535
Okay, well, let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
536
Sure.
537
Alright, we're back.
538
So, this is part two of a ten -part series of the interviews.
539
Now, we just talked about the background.
540
And I think there are different ways of talking about your background, right?
541
This is maybe your personal background?
542
That's right.
543
So you can talk about your personal history, your personal background, where you were born, where you were educated, where you grew up.
544
But a lot of times we also have to talk about other parts of our background, like our work background or,
545
like next week, our educational background.
546
That's right.
547
So part three, we're going to take a look at your educational background.
548
And it's going to be very important because I think in many interviews, people have a hard time describing what they studied
549
or maybe describing exactly what they did during university or college or master's degree or something.
550
Exactly.
551
And we're not talking about elementary school or high school.
552
We're specifically talking about university background here.
553
So like you're saying, Marco, what was your major?
554
What was your minor?
555
What was your area of study?
556
These are great, great, great phrases that are very important for an interview.
557
And so we hope that if you have any questions, you'll let us know.
558
Our website is EnglishPod .com and stay tuned for next week's episode.
559
That's right.
560
Okay, so we'll see everyone on the website and until next time.
561

| משפטי תנאי (Conditional sentences) if + clause, will/would + verb — תנאי ותוצאה שלו | if you have any questions, you'll let |

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
