Please advice?

I needed advice in the following topics :


1: Assume that you have been invited to give a short talk on how to succeed in job interviews.Your target audience is a group of young school leavers who are looking for jobs.You plan to cover only a small number of important points to note when they attend job interviews.





2: Assume that the principal of your secondary school is inviting alumni to give short talks to students who are about to take a public examination about how to overcome exam pressure.You have accepted the invitation to give a talk and wish to make it persuasive.


Furthermore,any comment if somebody told you that Talking freely to English native- speakers is a more effective way to learn English than attending English lessons in classrooms.


Thank you in advance.

Please advice?
Why did you accept if you can't do the speeches on your own merit. Do you really think the advice you would get on here is going to consrtructive? Your sad.
Reply:Ok, I assume that you have chosen to accept these talks because you feel that you can offer your audience something out of it, and that it is something you feel relatively strongly about?





The only way to give any kind of presentation is to make it enjoyable for others to attend. You really are an entertainer. If you stand at the front and just drone on, no matter how informative your content, they will not listen. You have got to find a way of keeping their interest.


Try to make it amusing in places or get them to participate in some way. Maybe even use the impact of failure and it's consequences.


You want them to leave with the bullet points you made which you feel are important.


Think back to your school days, or college, university etc and think about how different your teachers got you to retain knowledge.


Everyone has their own style.


Good luck :-)
Reply:I assume that these are tasks set by tutor


1.Start with intro about the topic


Tell them to think in advance of what are their strengths and weaknesses and any good reason why they are applying for the job.They must have done a little research about the firm they are aiming to join and know what the job entails.


Stress importance of punctuality, clean and tidy appearance, suitable clothing (opportunity for a joke here, such as not wear a clown outfit).


Politeness


Give them the followimg advice:


Answer questions briefly and to the point.Develop when asked to do so. Do not voice extreme views. Show ability to get on with others, and explain why you think you would be good in that job.


Do not show off and brag, or lie. Be yourself and show you are comfortable in your shoes.


At end of interview you will probably be asked if you have any questions. If so, that is when to ask what you did not understand over terms of service etc...





2.Again. Intro. Introduce yourself. Explain why you have come.


Explain the importance of formal qualifications in your job.


Tell them how to approach them: enough sleep. Eat properly.


Set a programme of revision in advance to cover essential aspects of subject. Chill!





With regard to the question about effective way of learning;


Yes,learning languages in their proper context is very effective provided you mix with the natives and communicate, but you do need a few basics learnt in class to get going, and formal lessons help you to grasp grammatical structures and use them correctly.





I hope this sets you thinking. Add your own ideas.

pseudo name for his level of common sense; forgive this comment)


wrote above, so if nothing better comes up, give him the


10 points because, in my opinion, he has hit the nail on the head,


Cheers to you CS.
