Tips for Answering Interview Questions
Answer all of the parts of the question you were asked.
Don't talk about other things that weren't asked.
Don't answer only "Yes" or "No". Give more information.
Describe things in at least two or three sentences.
When asked questions about the future, answer as best you can.
Do not answer "I don't know" (make it up if you have to).
Speak slowly and clearly.
Listen to your answer and make sure it is what you wanted to say.
Make sure you answered all the parts of the question.
BE SURE your mic is NOT on MUTE!
Tips for your Project Presentation
The project presentation needs to be at least 1 minute long.
The question has 3-4 parts, and you need to answer all of the sections.
Use the questions your teacher provided you to practice.
Here is one example:
To begin with, tell me what your topic was and what you were hoping to learn from it. In addition, what two interesting facts did you learn from your project? Why do you think so? Also, how do you think you will be able to use what you’ve learned in the future? Explain.
Practice, practice, practice. It takes time to talk fluently and accurately about your project.
Ask your parents/friends/ family to help you and listen to your presentation.
Practice speaking your presentation (in front of the mirror, with a timer, to your dog, etc.)
Record yourself on Whatsapp and listen back. Where do you need to improve?
Be confident! Speak slowly and clearly!
Breathe. Breath again.
Have a good night’s sleep before the exam!
Keep calm =)
BE SURE your mic is NOT on MUTE!
