Hey Alexis!

Two Things You Didn't Know About The IETLS Exam 

Helicopter without pilots

For the first time, a military helicopter flew without pilots. There were two flights on Saturday and Monday, and they lasted about 30 minutes. There were no passengers on board.

Engineers installed a special technology in the helicopter which made it possible to fly without pilots. The Black Hawk helicopter flew through a simulated city, and then it landed perfectly at Fort Campbell, US.

This technology helps pilots to focus on missions instead of flying helicopters. They fly in many types of weather, at night, and when they can’t see very well. The military hopes that it will make missions more successful.

Apa kabar semua? Sehat? 
Wah, 3 bulan lagi kita akan sampai di akhir tahun. Yeay! Libur Natal dan Tahun Baru. Saya mau membeli hadiah Natal untuk ayah dan ibu saya. Kemarin, waktu saya mencari barang-barang menarik di internet, saya juga menemukan banyak barang abal-abal. Kalian tahu “barang abal-abal”? Artinya adalah produk kualitas murah, kualitas buruk, bisa juga palsu. “Palsu” di Bahasa Inggris adalah “fake”, di Bahasa Jepang adalah “偽物”. Ada banyak produk abal-abal di mana-mana. Hanya satu kali pakai langsung rusak, langsung tidak berfungsi dengan baik. Lebih baik membeli barang dengan harga sedikit mahal tapi punya kualitas baik daripada barang abal-abal. Ini menurut saya loh…Bagaimana menurut kalian? Ok, sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Dadah!

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

Astronauts in Space

More than seven out of 10 Americans have been dishonest when trying to get a job, according to a new survey.

A company called ResumeTemplates asked 1,250 people in the US about how honest they are when looking for jobs, doing interviews or taking tests during the hiring process.

And 71% of US job seekers said they'd been dishonest.

One of the most common things to do was to give a false reference. Almost half of the participants said they'd done this.

Some said they didn't have a real reference to give, while others said their last boss didn't like them.

But people said they'd been dishonest all through the hiring process. More than one in five people said they'd lied on their resume.

Some companies give people tests during the hiring process — and 22% of people said they'd used Google, artificial intelligence software or the help of others to answer test questions.

So does being dishonest work?

The answer to that question might be "sometimes" — only around three out of 10 people said they had gotten caught.

Of course, that doesn't mean being dishonest is the right thing to do.

However, a 2023 survey by a company called Resume Builder found that it's not just people looking for jobs who lie.

In fact, the survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers found that almost 40% have lied to people in job interviews.
