Follow up

At an interview, you will almost certainly be asked to introduce yourself. In the activity sheet, you were asked to write a short self-introduction. This should take no longer than 30 seconds. Now it’s time to:

1. rehearse your self-introduction by speaking to yourself in front of a mirror (don’t be embarrassed, I’ve done this myself!).
2. watch yourself and consider those factors we looked at in the lesson related to how you look and sound.
3. keep practising until you can say it perfectly with confidence.

Publishing your works publicly is a great way to motivate yourself to learn and improve.
If you would like to video record your self-introduction and make it public for other learners to see and comment on, please e-mail me your video and I’ll publish it on the blog.
