Conversation Practice
INTERVIEWER: Your resume is quite impressive. I see that you only stayed at your last position for three months, however. Can you shed some light on that?
APPLICANT: To be honest, my previous employer and I never hit it off. He was on vacation when I was hired and I think he always resented the fact that he didn't get to put me through my paces in the interview.
INTERVIEWER: I see, so you didn't see eye to eye with him?
APPLICANT: No, we didn't. His approach to management was to delegate a task and then to micro manage all the details that were involved.
INTERVIEWER: You handle things differently?
APPLICANT: Yes, I'm a self starter and I work best when people aren't always looking over my shoulder.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "잘 지내지 못했다"처럼 부사가 동사 앞에 오지만, 영어에서 구동사(phrasal verb)인 'get along'은 분리하지 않고 뒤에 부사 'well'을 붙입니다. 마찬가지로 이 레슨의 'hit it off', 'see eye to eye', 'look over my shoulder' 같은 구동사도 어순을 바꾸면 안 됩니다. 구동사는 하나의 덩어리로 외워서 그대로 사용하세요.
