Read the following passage and choose the correct answer:
Preparation is a
key
to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel
a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really
true. The more you prepare and practise, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much
as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce
and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major
competitors are. “Practice makes perfect”. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So,
practise your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers
will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and
knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job.
Your
application
or résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how
your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening
to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to
the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive
early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and
maintain eye contact; and ask questions.

PREPARING A DINNER PARTY
Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new
friends and give other the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs plan, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of
women and men. Don’t invite couples because of they aren’t so much fun.
When you know whose can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any
who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious reasons.
Then plan their menu. Included a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus
lots of people’s favorite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure you buy more than enough of everything,
but that someone can help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas,
such they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your
guests and have a good time – you’ve earned them!
