Which sentence is the most convincing?

Buy it or not, whatever. It’s good because it’s good. It saves money in the long run, and it’s better for the planet.

Helping a tourist (interaction)

Podcast

Audio podcast (American English)Hotel lobby → Asking the way

Read the script (after listening, to check)

Tourist : Hi, could you tell me how to get to the train station? Is it walkable?

Fictional script written for this exercise, recorded as an audio podcast.

Which answer do you choose?

Station? Far. I don’t know, ask your phone. Sure. Turn left out of the hotel, then take the second street on the right. It’s about ten minutes on foot.

« Sorry, could you say that again more slowly? »

I already said it. Of course: left out of the hotel… then the second street on the right. LEFT. RIGHT. STATION.

The tourist thanks you. You end with:

Okay, go now. You’re welcome. Have a nice day! Finally.

A job interview in English (interaction)

Read the script (after listening, to check)

Interviewer : Tell me about a time you worked in a team.

Fictional script written for this exercise, recorded as an audio podcast.

Which answer do you choose?

Teams are boring. During my placement, I worked with three colleagues to prepare a banquet for 120 guests; we shared the tasks and checked each other’s work. I like teams.

« What are your strengths? »

Everything. I’m reliable and I learn quickly: my tutor trusted me with the till after one week. I’m the best.

« Where do you see yourself in five years? »

No idea. In your chair. I’d like to have my own salon, after getting more experience.
