- Unemployed??????
I have constantly felt extremely stressed recently. I graduated me from one of the most reputable universities in my country. I also did get IELTS 7.0 for my own. Many said to me that I must get a decent job easily. But in actuality, NO. I've gotten into job interview hundreds of times but I all failed. I asked myself the reason and also consult others. I dont know what's wrong with me. Many says that I am good looking, well qualified so being unemployed is nearly impossible but it does happen.
I did get into an interview in a so big company. In the first round, I was interviewed by Human resources staff. She was really friendly and tried to attract me by packages. But in the second round of the interview, everything changed completely differently. It conversed. At that time, I was interviewed by the direct manager or supervisor. Her attitudes towards me was terrible. During 30 minutes, she did not ask me any question, just insulting me constantly. At the first instance I sat down, she smirked: " Is the office nice? Is the view nice?" and continued " Your peers, they all must have gotten a job by now, right?" " Where do u live?" " Oh, you live in the countryside, you are so good when you get all these qualifications" " Now you are better than me but there are others better than you in the future" " Do you have boyfriend?" "The salary here is so low" " Can your current salary help you make ends meet?".
Oh my god. I was silent during all 30 minutes of harassing and insulting like that. After that, I did also get into many other interviews. And in some of them, I also erncountered such similar malevolent people. One time, I applied for the position of secretary into an international company. No longer I had sat down in the receptionist area than I heard from the interior that "I have a friend. She is so pretty but she doesn't wanna be a secretary". She said with spiteful voice and meant to say it loud in order that I could hear it.
Is it destiny? Is it right that no matter how hard you try, if the God does not want to bring good things to you, you still fail???
March 15, 201990 - 'THAT WHICH" used together I knew that which, that and some other similar words are used as relative pronouns. However, when I read some pieces of reading, I realize that "that" and "which" can come together. For instance: "Clandestine applies to that which is done secretly to conceal an evil, illicit purpose". Can anyone plz explain to me about this structure??December 18, 201731
- I will fight till the end I hate you, hate all of you. God, I know ur playing with me, with my life. Ur challenging me, right? U don't let me get what I deserve. U play with me by sowing hope in me and then letting me down. Ur laughing?? Ur gloating over all u've done with me. Just so u know, u can let me down but never knock me down.Yep, I'm an obstinate person.November 15, 201700
- is there an alternative expression of "being at school" or "being a student"?
For example, when I wanna say " when I was a student/ at school, I was quite naughty". I find this expression really boring.
So are there idioms which show the same meaning with "being at school/being a student"?
Thank you
November 12, 201730 In daily life, when u talk to others, what u do is not just speaking. Ur interacting with them. U see their facial expressions, their gestures. U may guess what they mean even when they say little or nothing. But in exam, all we, NON-NATIVE english speakers, do is just listening to an audio. How can I guess the stuff like "genmal classes" as they say is "general classes"?? It maybe a kind of class which is not available in my country. I can find out tons of Vietnamese words which dont have parallels in English and vice versa. That's called culture difference. I dont live in ur country or an english speaking country. How can I know that the word "genmal" does exist or not.
Therefore, it's really crazy when such pronunciation like that is put into a listening test
0 votedNovember 8, 20170- Suki, when I search "mumble" on the Internet, it all shows that mumbling is really a problem in speaking. They even try to give solutions to this. So why is problematic speaking put into a test? U should understand that this is a test, not simply daily language. I'm Vietnamese. When I mumble in Vietnamese to my friends or my acquaintances, they always have to require me to repeat what I have said. And presume that ur trying to learn Vietnamese, I mumble to you like that, so can u understand it?? Ur not a native speaker. U may reckon that I'm speaking what u haven't heard before, right? In daily life, u can ask me to repeat, but when ur in a test, how can u ask the speaker to repeat???0 votedNovember 8, 20170
