Il cavallo e l'asino viaggiano insieme sulla strada, quando, ad un tratto, l'asino chiede al cavallo di prendere un po' del suo carico: l'asino si sente molto stanco e teme di poter morire. Il cavallo rifiuta la sua proposta ma ben presto si pentirà di averlo fatto.

A little bit about myself part 1 

Imagine being asked this question in an interview, do you have our DNA? 

It's so strange that it'll make most people feel ackward since they've never heard of this question, right? 

Take you for example, what would you say to a question like this? Will you lose face and be out of words or..?

I help my students to find the right words and I talk about it in today's recording. Jump into it.

You can read Harvard's article on the DNA's topic here if you'd like to have a further research into this topic: 

https://hbr.org/2008/02/whats-your-companys-dna

Real DNA contains genetic information about how we look and behave, and it also defines what makes us different from each other

On the other hand,  a brands DNA is not an advertising slogan or a statement coined for the purposes of positioning. Since it is the center of all brand-building efforts, it should convey a strategic message! 

If you'll spot it in your research and will communicate about it in your interview heavily - you'll set yourself apart from the competition!

Come of my 1-1 training and we'll dive deep into preparing you for success in a job interview or any spoken English related endevoir!

Do you have our DNA? Imagine you are asked this question on a job interview?

WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with
something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the
roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I start you off with something to drink? Notice how the question starts with 
“Can.” Since this is a yes/no question, the intonation rises at the end.
• And I’ll have lemonade. Notice how Anna stresses “I’ll” and “lemonade” to 
emphasize her choice.
• Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes? The word “or” signals 
a choice here. Notice the rising intonation on order, and the falling intonation on 
minutes (the first choice is “Are you ready to order?” and the second choice is “Do 
you need a few minutes?”).
• I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and
peas. Notice that “tomato soup,” “roast beef,” “mashed potatoes” and “peas” are 
stressed because the food order is the important information here. Notice also that 
“tomato soup,” “roast beef” and “mashed potatoes” are compound words. The stress 
falls on the second word in each phrase.
• Well done, please. Notice that the subject and verb are omitted in the response; only 
the necessary information is given.
• I’ll just have the fish. Anna says “just” here to mean that she does not want a starter.

What are your thoughts before an exam?

How do you prepare yourself before the test?

What should you tell yourself before taking the test?

What should the state of mind be like before taking the test?

I'll do deeper into these questions and the suggestion is to listen with your heart and to see what it feels like when listening to my voice.

Enjoy it and see you in my classes!
