5.1 Describe a project you worked on in your school/college or office

Mô tả một dự án bạn đã làm ở trường học/đại học hoặc văn phòng của bạn

You should say:

• What the project was
• Who else was involved in it
• How long it took to be completed

Bài mẫu:

Let me talk about the project I did in a team in my second year of graduate school. Our tutor gave us an assignment to review the server log of an international trade website and provide a brief analysis using the data warehouse and data mining technology. We had three people on our team, and I was the team leader. I allocated different tasks to different classmates. One was responsible for extracting the data from the database to the data warehouse, and the other one was to set up the data model for analyzing. I was to analyze the final data set with a data mining software and prepare the presentation.

The job was quite tough as this was our first time doing such an assignment, and we needed to overcome various technique problems. For example, we had to use the Microsoft database software to restore the data and write codes to manipulate the data transferring. Besides, the data mining software was also new to us; we had to get ourselves familiar with it.

Our team spent three weeks to finish the work, which we reckoned as an authentic project in a corporation. Therefore we tried to learn the entire process of doing the project, the demand analysis, project design and implementation, and the documents. Additionally, we learned some useful software and gained some coding experiences.

5.2 Describe a time you made a mistake and how you dealt with it

Mô tả một lần bạn mắc lỗi và cách bạn xử lý nó

You should say:

• What the mistake was
• When, where you made it
• And explain how you deal with it

Bài mẫu:

Everyone in this world makes mistakes at least once in their life and I’m not an exception.

I’ve made many silly mistakes but I’d like to talk about the one that I’ve just made recently. It was last month when I booked flight tickets for Lunar New Year family gatherings. It was not my first time booking tickets online, I can say confidently that I’m a professional at this. But at that time, for some reasons, I chose the wrong flight. I was supposed to fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Hue City but I accidentally made it Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. I had no idea about my mistake until I received the ticket in my email.

I was truly frustrated and had to contact the airline to change my ticket. I had to follow many procedures, and it was really time-consuming. Luckily, I was finally able to change my ticket but had to pay extra money for the ticket changing fee, which was about $50.

This incident gave me such a valuable lesson in my life, which is to be careful at everything I do. And even though making mistakes is not a comfortable feeling, the lessons you learn are worthy, and I believe it helps us not to make the same mistakes in the future.

5.3 Describe a time you were surprised to meet a friend

Mô tả một lần bạn ngạc nhiên khi gặp một người bạn

You should say:

• When this happened
• Who this person was
• What you did together on that day

Bài mẫu:

I’ve been working as a teaching assistant at ETEST for about 2 years now. I’d like to tell you about a time I was really surprised to see Linh – an old friend of mine – giving a demo lesson to apply for a teaching assistant position in my company.

In my company, we have a weekly discussion among teaching assistants. The main purpose of this meeting is to encourage the exchange of ideas among us to come up with practical solutions for different types of problems that our students are having. It’s also a chance for new teaching assistants to prove their expertise by giving a demo lesson. The HR manager will then collect our feedback on the overall performance of a candidate to see if they have what it takes to become an official member of our academic dePartment.

So in a meeting a year ago, I met Linh – the girl whom I had a secret crush on when I was a secondary school student. We studied in the same class, and I had admired her diligence and dynamic personality from day one. She performed extremely well in pretty much all subjects, especially in English, so I wasn’t surprised when she passed the entrance exam to a prestigious high school for gifted students after that. Then we took different paths, and I thought I’ll never see her again because you know we were not that close. So when I saw her at the meeting, I was really surprised. Of all training centers, she decided to apply for ETEST – where I’m also working at.

I was pretty impressed by her performance. She had a pretty smart approach to a tricky topic. Her demo lesson was of course not flawless, but she definitely showed how far she could go. Hence, a week later we officially became coworkers.
