TRY SIMPLE SITUATIONS FIRST - GREETINGS 
Greeting is an act of communication in which human 
beings (as well as other members of the animal kingdom) 
intentionally make their presence known to each other, 
to show attention to, and to suggest a type of relationship 
or social status between individuals or groups of people 
coming in contact with each other.

FORMAL AND INFORMAL GREETINGS 
- BUSINESS - 
The degree of formality in 
business varies according to the 
company culture. Some are more 
conservative and formal in how 
they address each other, how 
they share information, how 
decisions are made, how power 
is delegated, how people dress, 
and so on.

If you are a foreigner doing business in America for the first 
time, you do not have to be more informal than you feel 
comfortable with. If you want to call someone by his or her 
last name, you may do so. But do not be surprised (or 
insulted!) if your American hosts call you by your first 
name. The main thing is that you can go at your own speed

MEETING PEOPLE IN GENERAL: WHAT IS IMPORTANT? 
In a job interview, speakers are inserted in a formal situation. 
In this case people play parts and try to convince each other 
according an determined objective. So it is appropriate to say 
that there are factors and circumstances that interfere with 
the communication process and that transcend the message 
itself, but act as complementary elements to the process 
itself. These are the circumstances and factors that we call 
extra linguistic. They must be observed by speakers if they 
want to be successful. In a job interview, for example, 
speakers are living a kind of an artificial situation, dominated 
by FORMALITY. When meeting people, on the other hand, 
you may experiment either in a FORMAL or in an INFORMAL 
situation. You will certainly have to adjust to these external 
factors and deal with it 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Talking about your experience and credentials 
(qualifications) is the most important part of any 
job interview. Your qualifications include your 
education from High School on and any special 
training you may have done in the past. Your 
experience is any work that you have done that is 
directly or indirectly related to the job you are 
applying for. Education: Remember that your 
education took place in the past. Therefore you 
need to use the past tenses,

DIALOGUE SITUATION: TALKING ABOUT BENEFITS & 
CONDITIONS IN AN INTERVIEW 
Read the following conversation between an interviewer and 
interviewee about the benefits and conditions of a job in a job 
interview. Focus on the words/phrases in bold. 
Interviewer: So, you agree with the salary we are offering you 
for the job? 
Interviewee: Yes I do. There is something that I would like to 
ask you. How many days of holiday would I be entitled to? 
Interviewer: No problem. For this position you will receive 30 
days of paid holiday each year. There's no restriction on when 
you can take them. So, you can take a day off or two weeks 
off at any time you want. 
Interviewee: Does the 30 days of paid holiday include bank 
holidays like Christmas Day or May Day? 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Interviewer: No, you receive 30 days in addition to all the 
banks holidays in the year. You are also paid for the bank 
holidays as well. 
Interviewee: How many hours a week would I be working? 
Interviewer: Well, the job is full-time, so that would be 35 
hours a week. That does not include the one hour for lunch. 
Interviewee: In my current job I do flexitime. I can work the 
hours when I prefer to. Normally, I start at 11am and finish at 
7pm. Would it be possible to do the same here? 
Interviewer: I am afraid that for this position there is no 
flexitime. So you would have to start at 9am and finish at 
5pm. Also, I need to mention about the dress code at the 
office. If you are meeting with clients then you have to wear 
formal business clothes. But if not, then the dress code is 
smart casual. You don't have to wear a suit or tie, but you 
can't wear jeans or t-shirts. 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Interviewee: It is the same where I currently work. 
Interviewer: The last thing I need to tell you about is the 
benefits package that comes with the job. 
Interviewee: Is there a pension scheme? 
Interviewer: Yes there is. The company pays money into a 
private pension scheme which you will start to receive when 
you retire at 67. With the position, you will also be entitled to 
private health insurance. The company will pay for you to see 
a private doctor and go to a private hospital for any 
treatment. 
Interviewee: Does the benefits package include a company 
car? 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Interviewer: Yes, the company will provide you with your 
own car to use for general travel and business trips. Plus, 
you will be paid for all your expenses when you are on 
business trips, like buying meals and staying in hotels. 
Interviewee: Do you have a share scheme?

STRESS AND INTONATION – SOUND MORE NATURAL! 
To blend in better, to make 
yourself understood, English 
teachers should help with 
accent reduction. We’ll work 
on word stress, sentence 
intonation and English 
pronunciation. 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Emphatic Stress 
 
If you decide to emphasize 
something, you can change the stress 
from the principal noun to another 
content word. This emphasis calls 
attention to the extraordinary nature 
of what you want to emphasize. 
For example: 
That was a difficult test. - Standard 
statement 
That was a difficult test. -
 Emphasizes how difficult the test 
was 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
Contrastive Stress 
 
Contrastive stress is used to point out the difference between one object 
and another. Contrastive stress tends to be used with determiners such as 
'this, that, these and those'. 
For example: 
I think I prefer this color. 
Do you want these or those curtains? 
Contrastive stress is also used to bring out a given word in a sentence 
which will also slightly change the meaning. 
He came to the party yesterday. (It was he, not someone else.) 
He walked to the party yesterday. (He walked rather than drove.) 
He came to the party yesterday. (It was a party not a meeting or 
something else.) 
He came to the party yesterday. (It was yesterday not two weeks ago or 
some other time.) 
 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
New Information Stress 
 
When asked a question, the requested information is 
naturally stressed more strongly. 
For example: 
Where are you from? - I come from Seattle, in the USA. 
What do you want to do? - I want to go bowling. 
When does class begin?- The class begins at nine o'clock. 
Use these various types of stress to help improve your 
pronunciation and understandability.

IN SHORT: 
In this class you had the opportunity to investigate more 
deeply initial and introductory situations that usually open 
the communication process. We realize that these 
situations obviously depend on the mastery of language, 
but we also realize that they also depend on the speakers’ 
ability to perceive and use extra linguistic factors that can 
be useful tools. These tools actually allow speakers to 
enhance their performance. Today we also concentrated in 
training pronunciation through reading dialogues and 
expressions characteristics of each presented and 
discussed situation.

Experience is one of the best teachers. Gaining experience 
will allow you to develop your skills and broaden your 
opportunities. However, never underestimate your abilities 
due to a lack of experience. Every great person in any field 
had to start somewhere without experience. The world is 
full of exceptionally talented and gifted people that will 
remain undiscovered because of their self-imposed 
limitations due to inexperience. Do not be one of these 
people. Gain either the traditional or creative experience 
needed to enhance your abilities and be the best you can 
be. 
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, 
my God do you learn." - C. S. Lewis

TALKING TO CO-WORKERS 
The ability to make small talk is an invaluable asset 
when dealing with others whether in a social 
setting, around the neighborhood, or in the 
workplace. This skill enables an individual to 
expand his or her circle of friends, network of 
business contacts, and list of social 
acquaintances.In the workplace, there are many 
occasions when small talk is appropriate: in the 
elevator, at the water cooler, waiting for a staff 
meeting to begin, in a lineup at the copier, or in 
the cafeteria. Dead silence is uncomfortable; 
remarks of some kind are called for. 
AULA 1 – GETTING STARTED, REMEMBERING AND MOVING ON! 
LÍNGUA INGLESA – PRÁTICA ORAL II 
This is an opportunity to make a positive impression. 
Be the first to speak, smile confidently, make eye 
contact and comments.Making small talk can be 
worthwhile and fun. People are interesting and 
everyone has a story. Na open and smilling approach 
may bring you your new best friend, romantic interest 
or become a valuable business asset. At the very 
least, you'll establish a closer relationship with a co-
worker, and after you've repeated the process several 
times, your circle of friends at work will increase. The 
whole atmosphere in the workplace will be positively 
affected. Staff morale will improve and projects 
requiring teamwork will be facilitated.

The concept of entrepreneurship 
has as a wide range of meanings. 
Entrepreneur is a person of very 
high aptitude, who pioneers 
change, ayttitude found in only a 
small fraction of the population. 
Anyone that wants to work for 
himself or herself is considered 
to be an entrepreneur.The word 
entrepreneur comes from the 
French entreprendre, which 
means “to undertake”. ss. The 
Merrian-Webster Dictionary 
defines entrepreneur as one who 
organizes, manages and assumes 
the risks of an enterprise.

You have decided to quit your job and open your own 
business. First you have to decide what kind of 
decisions you will make to start it and then you have 
to start looking for a business partner. You have to 
take some precautions not to be in for a trouble, as 
swindlers are everywhere. 
So, watch out!

INTERVIEW DOS AND DON’TS 
For many people, interviews can be a stressfulexperience. We would all love to walk into an interview, ace 
it, and leave the room feeling sure we’d landed the job. But 
the truth is that you must prepare, because perfect 
interviews do not just happen. You may have all the 
qualifications and experiences the company wants, but that is 
not enough. An interviewer will be critiquing you on more 
than what you say. Remember, you are interviewing the 
company just like they are interviewing you. Go into the 
interview prepared with questions you would like to know 
about the company. For example “How would you describe 
your company’s culture” or “What do you enjoy the most 
about working for this company?” will give you an idea of 
what it is like to work for that company.

Here are a few helpful Do’s and Don’ts of 
Interviewing: 
Do dress the part for the job 
Do research the company and the position you are 
interviewing for 
Do a practice run with a friend or make an 
appointment for a MOCK interview at Career Services 
Do make eye contact 
Don’t rely on your application or resume to sell you 
Don’t act like you would take any job 
Don’t say anything negative about former supervisors 
or employers 
Don’t answer questions with a simple “yes” or “no”
