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?

Being a picky eater can mean a number of different things. It may describe someone who doesn't like to try new foods, or someone who prefers plain meals. It can also refer to someone who eats quite a narrow range of foods.

It's quite common for children to be picky eaters. They may only like their pasta without sauce, or their bread cut in a certain shape.

Parents often feel they're to blame when their children are picky eaters. But according to a new study, picky eating is mostly caused by our genes.

Researchers in the UK looked at data from identical and non-identical twins who had been followed from birth since 2007.

Identical twins share 100% of their genes, while non-identical twins share half, on average. Studying these twins allowed the researchers to compare the eating habits of people who were genetically the same and those who weren't, but still grew up in the same home together.

More than 4,800 twins were included in the study. Their parents completed questionnaires about how picky their children were aged 16 months, then again at the ages of 3, 5, 7 and 13.

Not all parents completed the questionnaires as their children got older, but from the results, the researchers found that the eating habits of identical twins were much more similar than those of non-identical twins.

They also found that genetic variation explained 60% of the differences in food pickiness at 16 months, and 74% between the ages of 3 and 13. Meanwhile, shared environment only explained 15% to 26% of these differences, and the environmental effect was strongest when children were younger.

However, the researchers added that environmental effects are still important: parents can still influence their children's eating habits by eating together as a family, and by offering a wide variety of different foods, for example.
