My name is Marco.
Tên tôi là Marco.

My name is Catherine and today we're bringing you another elementary level lesson as a part of our interview series.
Tên tôi là Catherine và hôm nay chúng tôi mang đến cho bạn một bài học trình độ sơ cấp khác trong chuỗi bài phỏng vấn của chúng tôi.

That's right.
Đúng vậy.
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.
Đây là phần hai của chuỗi bài phỏng vấn, và ở phần trước chúng ta đã nói về phần giới thiệu ngắn gọn khi bạn bước vào buổi phỏng vấn xin việc.
6
But on this occasion, we're going to talk a little bit about yourself and your life.
Nhưng lần này, chúng ta sẽ nói một chút về bản thân bạn và cuộc sống của bạn.
7
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
8
So this is the most personal part, I think, of an interview.
Vậy tôi nghĩ đây là phần mang tính cá nhân nhất của một cuộc phỏng vấn.
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.
Bây giờ chúng ta hãy cùng nghe đoạn hội thoại ngày hôm nay, sau đó chúng ta sẽ quay lại để thảo luận thêm về những nội dung bạn vừa nghe được.

Now, Ms. Child's passed on your resume to me, and I've had a chance to look it over.

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.
Tôi muốn hiểu rõ hơn một chút về nền tảng của bạn.
17
Yes, of course.
Vâng, tất nhiên rồi.
18
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
Như bạn có thể thấy trong sơ yếu lý lịch, tôi 27 tuổi và lớn lên ở Brooklyn,
19
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
New York, dù gia đình tôi đã chuyển đến London khi tôi còn khá trẻ, khoảng 16 tuổi.
20
Ah, I see.
À, tôi hiểu rồi.
21
So you were actually educated in Europe.
Vậy là bạn thực sự đã học tập ở châu Âu.
22
Yes, precisely.
Vâng, chính xác vậy.
23
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
Mặc dù tôi sinh ra ở Mỹ, nhưng tôi chắc chắn coi London là nhà của mình.
24
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
Nhưng như bạn thấy, thực ra phần lớn cuộc đời tôi đã trải qua bằng việc di chuyển từ quốc gia này sang quốc gia khác.
25
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, too.
Trước khi nghỉ hưu, cha tôi làm trong ngành dầu khí, nên chúng tôi cũng đã sống nhiều năm ở Ả Rập Xê Út.
26
Very interesting.
Rất thú vị.
27
So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
Vậy có vẻ như tuổi thơ của bạn khá là nhiều chuyến phiêu lưu nhỉ.
28
Absolutely.
Chắc chắn rồi.
29
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
Chúng ta chưa bao giờ ở yên một chỗ quá lâu, nhưng bây giờ tôi thực sự muốn ổn định cuộc sống.
30
I see.
Tôi hiểu rồi.
31
Okay, well, let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
Được rồi, bây giờ chúng ta hãy chuyển sang thảo luận về học vấn của bạn nhé?
32
Sure.
Chắc chắn rồi.
33
Alright, we're back.
Được rồi, chúng ta quay trở lại đây.
34
So obviously this person had a very interesting life and they used some pretty interesting words there.
Rõ ràng người này có một cuộc sống rất thú vị và họ đã sử dụng một số từ ngữ khá đặc sắc trong đó.
35
So why don't we take a look at five key words that we have prepared for you on language takeaway.
Vậy tại sao chúng ta không cùng xem năm từ khóa mà chúng tôi đã chuẩn bị cho bạn trong phần học ngôn ngữ hôm nay nhỉ.
36
Language takeaway.
Bài học rút ra về ngôn ngữ.
37
Alright, so the first word that we have is right
Được rồi, từ đầu tiên chúng ta có là "right".
38
when Mr. Parsons talked to Miss Childs and he said that he was very impressed with her resume.
khi ông Parsons nói chuyện với cô Childs và ông ấy nói rằng ông rất ấn tượng với hồ sơ xin việc của cô.
39
All right.
Được rồi.
40
So someone says, I'm impressed when they think that something
Vậy là có người nói rằng, tôi rất ấn tượng khi họ nghĩ về một điều gì đó
41
that you did or something about you is very interesting or good or better than most people's.
rằng điều bạn đã làm hoặc một điều gì đó về bản thân bạn rất thú vị, rất tốt hoặc vượt trội so với hầu hết mọi người.
42
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
43
So you're kind of amazed.
Vì vậy, bạn cảm thấy hơi ngạc nhiên.
44
You're kind of, you're like, wow.
Bạn thật sự là, bạn giống như, ồ trời ơi.
45
Right.
Đúng vậy.
46
And so this is an adjective.
Và vì vậy, đây là một tính từ.
47
I am impressed.
Tôi rất ấn tượng.
48
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
49
So teachers sometimes say this.
Vì vậy, đôi khi các giáo viên nói điều này.
50
Maybe when you do really, really, really well on a test, they say, hey, Marco, I'm really impressed.
Có lẽ khi bạn làm bài kiểm tra thật sự rất tốt, họ sẽ nói rằng, này Marco, tôi thật sự ấn tượng đấy.
51
You got 99 percent.
Bạn đạt được 99 phần trăm.
52
Parents say this to friends, family.
Các bậc cha mẹ nói điều này với bạn bè, người thân.
53
So basically this is a way to say good job.
Về cơ bản thì đây là một cách để khen người khác làm tốt.
54
Wow.
Ồ trời.
55
Right, and there's also a verb.
Đúng vậy, và còn có một động từ nữa.
56
So this is the adjective to be impressed and the verb form would be to impress someone.
Vậy đây là tính từ để diễn tả cảm thấy ấn tượng, còn dạng động từ sẽ là làm cho ai đó ấn tượng.
57
So that's obviously if you impress your teacher by studying, your teacher will be impressed.
Vì vậy rõ ràng là nếu bạn gây ấn tượng với giáo viên bằng việc học tập, giáo viên của bạn sẽ bị ấn tượng.
58
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
59
And following that, Mr. Parson has some questions about Ms. Child's background.
Và sau đó, ông Parson có một số câu hỏi về lý lịch của bà Child.
60
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
61
He asked her for a brief overview of her background.
Anh ấy yêu cầu cô ấy trình bày ngắn gọn về nền tảng của mình.
62
So we have two interesting words there.
Vậy là chúng ta có hai từ thú vị ở đó.
63
An overview.
Tổng quan.
64
What is an overview?
Tổng quan là gì?
65
An overview is like a summary.
Tổng quan giống như một bản tóm tắt.
66
It's basically a way to ask for someone to give you a lot of information in very few words.
Về cơ bản, đây là một cách để yêu cầu ai đó cung cấp cho bạn rất nhiều thông tin chỉ trong vài từ.
67
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
68
So you don't really want too much details.
Vậy là bạn không thực sự muốn biết quá nhiều chi tiết.
69
You don't want somebody to tell you their life in detail.
Bạn không muốn ai đó kể cho bạn nghe chi tiết về cuộc đời họ.
70
You just want a brief summary.
Bạn chỉ muốn một bản tóm tắt ngắn gọn thôi.
71
Right.
Đúng vậy.
72
So not, I was born on August 11th in 1979 and I was, and then I went into this.
Không phải vậy đâu, tôi sinh ngày 11 tháng 8 năm 1979 và rồi tôi bước vào con đường này.
73
No, this is basic, simple, you know, this is where I'm from.
Không, đây là điều cơ bản, đơn giản thôi, bạn biết đấy, đây chính là nơi tôi sinh ra và lớn lên.
74
This is where I went to school at the end.
Đây là nơi tôi đã học xong cấp học cuối cùng.
75
And, well, he wanted a brief overview of her background.
Và, à, anh ấy muốn có một cái nhìn tổng quan ngắn gọn về lý lịch của cô ấy.
76
What exactly is her background?
Nền tảng của cô ấy chính xác là gì?
77
Well, think about the word back.
Thì hãy nghĩ về từ “back” đi.
78
Okay, that means behind.
Được rồi, nghĩa là ở phía sau.
79
Or in this case, background is your personal history.
Hoặc trong trường hợp này, bối cảnh chính là lịch sử cá nhân của bạn.
80
So you could ask someone, what's your background?
Vì vậy, bạn có thể hỏi ai đó rằng, nền tảng của bạn là gì?
81
It means, where are you from?
Nó có nghĩa là bạn đến từ đâu?
82
Or, you know, what have you been doing up to now in your life?
Hay là, bạn đã làm được những gì cho đến nay trong cuộc đời mình?
83
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
84
And precisely when he asked her about her background, now she's starting to talk about her life.
Và đúng vào lúc anh ấy hỏi về xuất thân của cô ấy, thì bây giờ cô ấy bắt đầu kể về cuộc đời mình.
85
In general terms, as we said, it's an overview.
Như chúng ta đã nói, nhìn chung đây chỉ là một cái nhìn tổng quan.
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.
Vậy là cô ấy nói cô ấy 27 tuổi và đến từ Brooklyn, vân vân. Rồi cô ấy bắt đầu chia sẻ những thông tin rất chung chung về bản thân và cuộc sống của mình.
87
Exactly.
Chính xác.
88
So when she starts to do this, Mr. Parson has more specific questions about her life because he wants to know details.
Vì vậy, khi cô ấy bắt đầu làm điều này, ông Parson đặt ra những câu hỏi cụ thể hơn về cuộc sống của cô ấy vì ông muốn biết những chi tiết rõ ràng hơn.
89
So he asks her then where she was educated. So this.
Vậy rồi anh ta hỏi cô ấy học ở đâu. Thế là chuyện thế này.
90
phrase to be educated is very important.
Việc được giáo dục là rất quan trọng.
91
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
92
So he's asking her you studied in Europe.
Vậy anh ấy đang hỏi cô ấy là cô đã học ở châu Âu.
93
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
94
To be educated means to have someone teach you or to go to school somewhere.
Được giáo dục có nghĩa là có người dạy bạn hoặc bạn đến học tại một trường học nào đó.
95
So for example, I was educated in America.
Ví dụ như, tôi đã được giáo dục ở Mỹ.
96
Where were you educated, Marco?
Bạn học ở đâu thế, Marco?
97
I was educated in Chile.
Tôi đã học tập tại Chile.
98
Wow.
Ồ trời.
99
So you've been educated in a number of different places, right?
Vậy là bạn đã học ở khá nhiều nơi khác nhau, đúng không?
100
At home and in a different country.
Ở nhà và ở một quốc gia khác.
101
Right.
Đúng vậy.
102
But you can also specify the university name, right?
Nhưng bạn cũng có thể chỉ định tên trường đại học, phải không?
103
For example, I was educated at Harvard.
Ví dụ, tôi đã được đào tạo tại Đại học Harvard.
104
Can you say that you can or I was educated at a number of different schools
Bạn có thể nói rằng bạn đã được học tại một số trường khác nhau không?
105
So you can say I studied or I was educated
Vì vậy bạn có thể nói là tôi đã học hoặc tôi đã được giáo dục
106
All right, and well apparently she was moving around from Europe United States
Được rồi, và rõ ràng là cô ấy đã di chuyển giữa châu Âu và Hoa Kỳ.
107
So mr. Parsons says wow it seems that you had an adventurous childhood
Vậy ông Parsons nói, ồ có vẻ như thời thơ ấu của anh đã rất nhiều phiêu lưu đấy.
108
Okay, this is a great adjective adventurous.
Được rồi, đây là một tính từ tuyệt vời: adventurous (mạo hàm).
109
You can say a person is adventurous.
Bạn có thể nói một người là người thích phiêu lưu.
110
So Marco is very adventurous
Vậy là Marco rất thích phiêu lưu.
111
He likes to jump out of airplanes.
Anh ấy thích nhảy ra khỏi máy bay.
112
But you can also say that an experience is adventurous, like moving around a lot as a child.
Nhưng bạn cũng có thể nói rằng một trải nghiệm mang tính phiêu lưu, ví dụ như việc phải chuyển nhà nhiều lần khi còn nhỏ.
113
Right.
Đúng vậy.
114
So I guess adventurous can go hand in hand with exciting or very interesting, full of emotion.
Vì vậy, tôi cho rằng tính thích phiêu lưu có thể đi liền với sự thú vị hoặc rất hấp dẫn, tràn đầy cảm xúc.
115
That's right.
Đúng vậy.
116
Okay.
Được rồi.
117
Adventure, adventurous.
Cuộc phiêu lưu, mang tính phiêu lưu.
118
So a person can be adventurous.
Vì vậy, một người có thể là người thích phiêu lưu.
119
And we actually had a lesson about this when we described personalities.
Và thực ra chúng ta đã có một bài học về điều này khi chúng ta mô tả tính cách của mọi người.
120
You can say someone is adventurous.
Bạn có thể nói ai đó là một người thích phiêu lưu.
121
All right.
Được rồi.
122
Very good it so five key words
Rất tốt, vậy là có năm từ khóa.
123
that we just took a look at why don't we go back listen to the dialogue again
chúng ta vừa mới xem qua rồi, tại sao không quay lại và nghe lại đoạn hội thoại một lần nữa nhỉ?
124
and we'll be back to talk a little bit more on fluency builder
và chúng ta sẽ quay lại để nói thêm một chút về công cụ xây dựng khả năng nói trôi chảy.
125
now this child's passed on your resume to me
Bây giờ đứa trẻ này đã chuyển hồ sơ xin việc của bạn cho tôi rồi.
126
and I've had a chance to look it over I must say
và tôi đã có cơ hội xem xét kỹ lưỡng, tôi phải nói rằng
127
I'm quite impressed thank you very much I've tried to keep it short
Tôi khá ấn tượng, cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều, tôi đã cố gắng trình bày ngắn gọn.
128
and clear if there are any questions please feel free to ask me
Nếu có bất kỳ câu hỏi nào, xin vui lòng đặt câu hỏi cho tôi.
129
Well, yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview.
Vâng, đúng là tôi có một số câu hỏi, nhưng có lẽ trước hết bạn hãy cho tôi xem qua một cái tổng quan ngắn gọn được không.
130
I'd like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
Tôi muốn tìm hiểu một chút về nền tảng của bạn.
131
Yes, of course.
Vâng, tất nhiên rồi.
132
Well, as you can see from the resume, I'm 27 and grew up in Brooklyn,
Như bạn có thể thấy trong sơ yếu lý lịch, tôi 27 tuổi và lớn lên ở Brooklyn,
133
New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around 16.
New York, dù gia đình tôi đã chuyển đến London khi tôi còn khá trẻ, khoảng 16 tuổi.
134
Ah, I see.
À, tôi hiểu rồi.
135
So you were actually educated in Europe.
Vậy là bạn thực sự đã học tập ở châu Âu rồi.
136
Yes, precisely.
Vâng, chính xác vậy.
137
Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home.
Mặc dù tôi sinh ra ở Mỹ, nhưng tôi chắc chắn coi London là nhà của mình.
138
But as you see, I've actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country.
Nhưng như bạn thấy, thực ra tôi đã dành phần lớn cuộc đời mình để di chuyển từ quốc gia này sang quốc gia khác.
139
My father was in the oil business before he retired, so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia, too.
Trước khi nghỉ hưu, cha tôi làm trong ngành dầu khí, nên chúng tôi cũng đã sống nhiều năm ở Ả Rập Saudi.
140
Very interesting.
Rất thú vị.
141
So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
Vậy có vẻ như tuổi thơ của bạn khá là nhiều chuyến phiêu lưu đấy.
142
Absolutely.
Chắc chắn rồi.
143
We were never still for too long, but now I'm really looking to settle down.
Chúng ta chưa bao giờ ở yên một nơi quá lâu, nhưng bây giờ tôi thực sự muốn ổn định cuộc sống.
144
I see.
Tôi hiểu rồi.
145
Okay, well, let's move on to discuss your education, shall we?
Được rồi, bây giờ chúng ta hãy chuyển sang thảo luận về trình độ học vấn của bạn nhé?
146
Sure.
Chắc chắn rồi.
147
All right, we're back.
Được rồi, chúng ta quay lại rồi.
148
So we have four phrases for you on Fluency Builder prepared.
Vì vậy, chúng tôi đã chuẩn bị sẵn bốn cụm từ cho bạn trên Fluency Builder.
149
And let's start on with the first one.
Và chúng ta hãy bắt đầu với cái đầu tiên nhé.
150
Fluency Builder.
Công cụ xây dựng khả năng giao tiếp lưu loát.
151
Okay, so the very beginning, Mr. Parsons is continuing what he was saying in our first part.
Được rồi, ngay từ đầu, ông Parsons đang tiếp tục những gì ông ấy đã nói trong phần đầu tiên của chúng ta.
152
So Mr. Parsons is talking about Rebecca's resume and he says, someone, the secretary, she passed it on to me.
Vậy là ông Parsons đang nói về hồ sơ xin việc của Rebecca và ông ấy nói rằng, có người đó, thư ký, cô ấy đã chuyển hồ sơ đó cho tôi.
153
So this verb, to pass on.
Vậy thì động từ này, pass on.
154
This is really important.
Điều này thực sự quan trọng.
155
What does this mean?
Điều này có nghĩa là gì?
156
Well, the secretary, Ms. Childs, passed on Rebecca's resume.
Vâng, thư ký, bà Childs, đã chuyển hồ sơ xin việc của Rebecca.
157
That basically means Ms. Childs received it and she didn't keep it.
Về cơ bản điều đó có nghĩa là bà Childs đã nhận được nó và bà đã không giữ lại.
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.

289

312
It's time to begin class.
313
Settle down.
314
He was something of a playboy in the past, but now he's ready to get married and settle down.
315
Settle down After living in the city so long,
316
I'd really like to settle down in a small town.
317
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.

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 115 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, I've, we're. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, efficiency /ɪˈfɪʃ.ən.si/, suggestion /səˈd͡ʒɛst.ʃən/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, occasion /əˈkeɪ̯ʒən/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, photography /fəˈtɑ.ɡɹə.fi/, efficiency /ɪˈfɪʃ.ən.si/, elementary /ˌɛləˈmɛntəɹi/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, chunk /t͡ʃʌŋk/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: educate /ˈɛd͡ʒ.əˌkeɪt/, suggestion /səˈd͡ʒɛst.ʃən/, adventure /ədˈvɛn.t͡ʃə/, chunk /t͡ʃʌŋk/, occasion /əˈkeɪ̯ʒən/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, examine /ɪɡˈzæmɪn/, admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/
Cách luyện với video này

- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như resume, phrase, lesson.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
