Speaking-質問の答えは一言で片付けないこと

Why is it not good idea to give one word answers?

First,if you answer the questions with one word all
the time,or too briefly,the interviewer will not be
able to evaluate your English.


The second reason is, the interviewer is a human being,
he will not feel very comfortable if you always answer
questions with one word.

Even if a question can be answered with one word,always
try to give some additional information after saying that
one word.


例1)Have you ever been abroad?
×No I haven't
○No i haven't been to any other countries before,but
I hope to study in England.That's why I come here.


例2)What do you like to do in your spare time?
○I like reading,playing basketball,and so on.
I play basketball once a week.


※On the other hand,you don't have to give a long speech.

Speaking-Part1 最初の1-2分が肝心

Most interviewers have got 3 purposes within the first 1-2
minutes of the interview.


■First purpose:
to help candidate relax.
Give casual questions.


■Second purpose:
to get a first impression about your Englishlevel,
to find out your English,to get initial impression
about your English level.


■The third purpose:
to find a topic for the remaining time of the Part1.
Any thing you mentioned might become a topic later.
If you carelessly mention something you are not very familiar
with,and the interviewer happens to be interested in that
topic,you will probably be in trouble.


An experienced interviewer will be able to reach his or her conclusion about the candidate's qualification within the first 1 to 2 minutes of the interview.

We should pay special attention to our answers to the first few questions.Sometimes people make simple and silly mistakes when they answer simple questions.


In the remain 10 minutes,the interviewr is trying to look for evidences to confirm his dicision.
