MB: Hi, I'm Marcia Boardman, I'm calling from WebWare.
DW: Oh hi, Marcia. Great to hear from you.
MB: You'll have already been told you've been shortlisted for interview...
ST: Oh... yes... great... hello? Can you hear me?
MB: Yes... Is it OK if I call you now? Would you like me to call you back
later?
ST: Erm, no, no, no, that's OK...
MB: Good - well we're very excited about meeting you. OK, I just want to
talk you through the procedure for the day. Someone will meet you when you
arrive, reimburse you for any travel expenses you may have, and then bring
you up to meet myself and Philip Hart, the CEO.
DW: OK, sounds good. So will you be the only members of the interview panel
there then?
MB: Yes, it'll be just me and Philip who will talk to you. The interview
will be in three parts - first of all we'll ask you some general questions
about yourself and your educational and professional background, then we'll
move on to specifics.
ST: Oh, er, specifics? Well er, what kind of questions will you be asking?
MB: Well, it'll be very similar to the personal statement you submitted with
your CV - we'll be expecting you to to give actual examples of problems
you've faced and solved, and of what you feel are the major successes in
your career so far.
DW: OK, well yeah, that sounds great - can't wait!
MB: Then there'll be a chance for you to ask us any questions - about the
job itself, or WebWare in general...
ST: Oh, erm, OK... I'll think of something!
MB: After that, we'd like you to give a short presentation on how you see
WebWare as a company progressing, and how you see yourself taking us there.
DW: OK so will I be expected to give like a formal style presentation?
MB: It can be as formal or informal as you like. There'll be a flipchart and
a data projector there available. If you need anything else, just let us
know.
ST: Oh, erm OK, a presentation! I'll think of something. I haven't done one
of those in a while...
MB: Is that all clear? Great, so, Daniel, I'll see you at 11am, a week
tomorrow.
DW: OK, great, I look forward to meeting you! Thanks, bye.
MB: OK, so, Sarah, we'll be seeing you at 1pm, a week tomorrow. Best of
luck!
ST: Oh, thanks... I'll need it...

I find these exercises very nice to improove my English level. In the scene, it seems Marcia has a bad feeling with the female candidate, her attitude and the noise disturbancy.

Hello Wael,
When you say 'install', do you mean 'play'? You should just be able to play the video, there's nothing to install. Can you please tell us which web browser you are using and whether you can play other videos on this web site and on other web sites?

Hello,
Fortunately, I met a a native speaker of English in my country. In a short time, we became friends and we meet regularly. How can I benefit from this friendship in polishing my speaking skill? Would you tell me of a plan.
Thanks a lot
