What Does Turning Point Mean?

不过：连词，用在后一分句的开头，表示转折，对前一分句的意思做补充、修正。
例如：我本来想当医生，不过我发现自己更喜欢教汉语。
不过：也可以做副词，表示“仅仅”，强调比较少、比较小。
“不过”在委婉地提出意见或表示拒绝时常用, 多用于口语；而“但是”表达转折的语气更重一些。

Most employers won’t voluntarily tell you you’re out of the running for a job, nonetheless, outline the reasons you weren’t selected. 

Why? They likely have many applicants, don’t want to provoke you, and even fear being sued. Yet, it is possible to get feedback after an interview, if you know how to ask for it the right way. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn how to ask for an employer’s feedback after your interview. Specifically, you will learn exactly what to write and say to get the feedback you desire. I will share a couple of effective strategies on how to get a valuable and honest response from an employer. 

In addition, you will hear some real-life stories from the employers’ perspective, as well as my clients’ experience in getting feedback. Finally, you will learn how to react to the employer’s feedback to leave a good impression. 

At the end of the episode, we’ll discuss five idioms you can use to improve your English.

How to Ask for Feedback After an Interview

In this episode we are going to learn how to talk about【Weekend plan】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
