Guide to the TOEFL - Writing

¡Hola!  Welcome to Español from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Llamarse (to be called). Basically the verb that we use to talk about people’s names.

The exercise is really short and simple! Your job is to find the mistakes in these sentences (only one of them is correct):

Yo llamo Rafael 
Nosotros nos llamos Pedro y Juan 
Ella se llaman Claudia
Tú te llamas Lucas
Ellos se llama Ana y Sebastián

Me llamo Andres gonzalez, tengo diecinueve años. Nací en Bogota, pero vivo en Medellin. Soy estudiante de primer curso de Periodismo.

De lunes a viernes me levanto a las siete y media, desayuno y camino hasta la universidad. Entro en clase a las nueve y salgo a la una.

Al medio día como la comida en mi casa y veo la televisión. Por la tarde, estudio hasta las siete y después quedo con mis amigos.

A nosotros nos gusta mucho el cine, el teatro y la música. Los viernes por la noche cenamos pizza y bailamos en la discoteca.

Todos los sábados visito a mi familia en Medellin.

El domingo por la tarde regreso a a mi casa y, si hace sol, salgo con mi perro a dar un paseo. ¡Me encantan los animales!

Andres's daily routine

Taking care of one's mental health requires optimism and constant work and effort. Life's challenges, whether it is internal or external is only won when you are able to fix your internal mindset, when you are able to win against  the side of you that wants to give up.

OPTIMISM IS A STATE OF MIND 

How To Positively Influence A Hiring Manager?


There are various way you can do so. Here is an answer from internet: 

"The best way to influence candidates as a recruiter is by effectively communicating the value proposition of the organization, actively listening to their needs and aspirations, building strong relationships, and providing personalized solutions that align with their interests and career goals."

IIn my podcast I covered something else - the mental world of yours and what do you do to prepare for the 'project' mentally. Here is an anwer from the internet:

 "Another tool you can use to mentally prepare is to visualize the interview going well. Instead of picturing yourself not knowing answers to questions or stumbling over your words, take time to imagine answering each question perfectly. Imagine that you are not nervous and your confidence shines to the interviewer."

I talk about a different thing instead - the attitude you carry with you about who you are and what you can deliver and from this perspective you speaj/answer recruiter's questions.

Dive deeper into my podcast and pick whats relevant, what resonates and what you can use to succeed as its my only intention for you!

Good luck.
