Let's talk about SLANG in English!
Today I'm going to teach you 3 very common slang words (informal language) that are used in England.
1. Nah
This simply means 'no'. In an informal setting, such as when speaking to friends or family, it's actually more polite to say 'nah' than 'no'! Saying 'no' directly to friends and family can be considered TOO direct and quite cold.
Example:
'Would you like a coffee?'
'Nah, I'm good, thanks!'
2. Innit
This is a contraction of 'isn't it?' and is used at the end of a phrase as a way of asking your conversation partner to confirm their understanding or approval.
Example:
'Mate, it's so cold, innit!'
3. Mate
Perhaps the most common slang word in all of British English, this word means 'friend' and is used to refer to both men and women in an informal setting.

Are you preparing for a job interview in English?
Here’s my top tip for you, as a Professional Teacher & experienced Recruiter.
When answering competency based questions a great trick to structure your response is the STAR technique.
Situation
Task
Action
Response
For example, let’s think of the question:
“Tell me about a time that you dealt with a difficult situation at work”.
You might say:
“A while ago in my team, a key colleague resigned. This left the rest of us overstretched and reduced the quality of our customer service.
My manager promised they would hire someone new, but they were honest that it would take some time.
I decided to take action. Since I was very familiar with the role of my ex-colleague, I offered to help redistribute their responsibilities fairly among my colleagues.
The result was that we were able to execute all of the necessary tasks, and customer service quality returned to normal levels. Soon after, a new colleague joined, and our workload went back to normal.”
This answer clearly explains what YOU did, and the positive impact it had on your team & business.

A melhor dieta é isso que você pode manter. Têm vários dietas que funcionam para emagrecer, porém se você não pode continuar fazendo elas para sempre (porque tão rígidas demais), você vai acabar ganhando da volta todo o peso que você perdeu.
Pra mim, eu prefiro não contar calorias ou coisas do tipo. Em vez, eu foco em comer mais legumes, beber muita água, evitar comidas muitas processadas e comer mais proteína.

Hi italki. Today I'd like to talk about the STAR technique for answering behavioural questions in interviews.
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result.
The great thing about this technique is that you can use it to answer literally any behavioural based question about your experience.
Here's an example:
"Could you tell me about a time that you have worked in a stressful environment?"
The biggest mistake that candidates make in answering this question is that they talk all about a stressful situation without describing the positives. They don't mention how they resolved the situation, what they learned, etc.
Here's an example of how you could answer this question, following the STAR technique:
"One time in my previous role, my manager left the company unexpectedly. This left us short staffed, so everyone was asked to take on more work. My manager was also the only one who knew how to operate an important system. (Situation)
We needed to divide the extra work among the team, as well as get that system working without my manager to operate it. (Task)
I decided to step up and volunteer to take more responsibility. I quickly educated myself on the system and also reviewed the responsibilities of everyone in the team so that I could divide up the work fairly. (Action)
In the end, we were able to deal with the extra workload until a new team member was hired. Since I had volunteered and shown leadership skills, senior management suggested that I be promoted into the management position, and the new hire replaced my role." (Result)
Note how we've turned a negative (a stressful situation) into a positive (a promotion)!
If you'd like me to help you structure your experience into this format, as well as plenty of other interview preparation tips, you can book the 'Job Interview Prep' option on my profile.
