English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today you first made a recap of last time's lesson about Rob Fenton's interview.
Here is what you said:
Rob Fenton applies for a job in a supermarket at week-ends. He is 16.
He's already worked in a library before. He's stacked shelves = he has work experience.
He's the best candidate because he lives near the supermarket; so he will never be late.
He's hard-working / polite / 'serious. He can wake up early in the morning (about 5:00 am). It's not a problem for him. He is an early bird.
He agrees with the wages (£5.50 an hour) even if it's low.
---> Prononciation des mots en /-ous/: Attention à réaliser une forme faible et à bien accentuer l'autre syllable.
-------------------
Then in the 2nd part of the hour, we worked on the manager's role and what you could say during a job interview. Here is what we said (in the right order):
- Hello, please come in. Have a seat.
- So, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
- Have you ever had a job before?
- Why are you interested in this job?
- We need someone who would be ready to work on Saturdays, would that be okay with you?
- I usually pay £5 an hour. Does that sound okay to you?
- Can you start next month?
- Well, we'll contact you by the end of the week.
- Thank you for coming in. Have a nice day, good bye!

Homework:
- bien apprendre la leçon et le rôle du "manager". Ne pas oublier de terminer la leçon en mettant au crayon à papier un signe "intonation montante" ou "intonation descendante" en fonction de la question (regardez votre cahier; leçon "Super Heroes" pour trouver la solution si vous l'avez oubliée).
