Stay Calm, During the job interview try to relax and stay as calm possible. Take a moment to regroup. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question before you answer and pay attention - you will be embarrassed if you forget the question!

Effective way of learning English
Learning English effectively when living in a foreign country challenging. While English classes are available, native English speakers do not. Moreover, students rarely get the chance to practice their skills, so it is difficult to learn the language. If you are someone who wants to learn English efficiently while living in a foreign country, keep these tips in mind. Let your fear One of the problems of most people who like foreign languages, including English learning is fear. When we teach our children and our own language, we rarely fear saying something wrong. After all, everyone praises and rewards the child to talk business. As we age, however we have learned that mistakes in speech can be cause for ridicule.
When we try to learn another language, we are afraid of the skills we have experienced this practice for fear of ridicule. Yet the practice is very important to learn English, so you should be able to overcome this fear and start practicing as much as possible. Find a Native Speaker Taking a class taught by someone who learned English as adults will not cut. You need to find classes taught by a native speaker of English if possible. If not, take a class taught by someone who lived in an English speaking country for a while. This will help you learn the correct pronunciation while working to learn the language. Listen Up! One of the best ways to learn English is to hear. Once you learn some basic vocabulary, surround yourself with people who speak English. English watching television or movies, listening to UK radio stations, or go to the website where you can hear the spoken English.
Listening to people, especially native speakers, who speak in non-classroom, will help you develop a sense of atmosphere language. You learn what non-standard word used in everyday conversation, how people interact, and what type of sarcasm is used by people who speak English. When watching English television programs or movies, or you can use your TV so you can see the English subtitles. This will help you when you try to listen to the spoken word. You'll also be able to see the written word, to help you check your understanding. Find someone to practice When you develop a concept, you should practice.
Finding someone you can practice speaking English, whether a native speaker or someone who English as a second language. Are the times when you go to something fun to do, but only English spoken. Just as you do when you need a baby learning your native language, you must practice speaking English on a regular basis as you learn the language effectively. Reading in English Once you have some basic vocabulary and grammar under your belt, start reading in English. Even if you need to start with a simple illustration of books and magazines, reading in English will help you learn the language better understood.
Put English books in your home, and read as often as possible. This will help you to start thinking in English, showing that the language effectively. Because you live in a foreign country and not surrounded by native speakers, learning English would be a little harder. Use the Internet to help the courses and programs for language learning. Practice as much as you can, and not afraid to fail. Soon will speak efficiently as a native speaker, and your grammar is a little better,

Lesson I
Disini kita menggunakan WILL ditambah Kata Kerja Bentuk I (KK-I), atau kata kerja yang belum dirubah. Lihat daftar kata kerja terlampir untuk latihan.
Susunan ini digunakan apabila kita menyatakan apa yang AKAN kita lakukan; baik itu yang segera (soon), besok (tomorrow), bulan depan (next month), tahun depan (next year), atau waktu lain setelah saat ini.
Dalam hal ini, keterangan waktu atau kapan pastinya kejadian itu tidaklah begitu penting. Yang penting adalah bahwa kejadian itu AKAN dilakukan.
Contohnya :
• Saya akan belajar Bahasa Inggris = I WILL STUDY ENGLISH, bisa disingkat I’ll study English
• Anjing saya akan melompat = MY DOG WILL JUMP
• Dia akan mencuci meja itu = HE WILL WASH “THE” TABLE
Catatan : “THE” digunakan apabila orang yang kita ajak bicara sudah paham benda atau apa yang kita maksud. Dalam contoh HE WILL WASH “THE TABLE,” berarti antara pembicara dan yang diajak bicara sudah tahu meja mana yang dimaksud.
Untuk menyatakan TIDAK AKAN, tinggal menambahkan NOT di belakang WILL.
Contohnya :
• Saya tidak akan bermain sepak bola = I WILL NOT PLAY FOOTBALL, bisa disingkat I WON’T PLAY FOOTBALL.
• Saudara perempuan saya tidak akan mandi = MY SISTER WILL NOT TAKE A BATH, bisa disingkat MY SISTER WON’T TAKE A BATH
Untuk membuat pertanyaan yang memerlukan jawaban YA atau TIDAK, tinggal memindahkan WILL ke bagian depan kalimat.
Contohnya :
• Apakah kamu akan menemui saya besok? = WILL YOU MEET ME TOMORROW?
• Apakah Amir akan pergi ke Jakarta? = WILL AMIR GO TO JAKARTA?
Untuk pertanyaan yang memerlukan jawaban panjang atau yang harus diberikan penjelasan (bukan YA atau TIDAK), kita tinggal menambahkan kata tanya di depan kalimat tanya tersebut di atas.
Kata tanya dimaksud adalah : WHAT (APAKAH YANG), WHERE (DI atau KEMANA), WHEN(KAPAN), WHO(SIAPA), WHAT TIME(JAM BERAPA), WHICH(YANG MANA), HOW(BAGAIMANA), WHY(MENGAPA).
Contohnya :
• Apa yang akan kamu kerjakan? = WHAT WILL YOU DO?,
• Kemana kamu akan mengirim surat itu? = WHERE WILL YOU SEND THE LETTER?
Ada beberapa ungkapan yang menggunakan pola yang sama dengan WILL yaitu :
• BISA/DAPAT = CAN, misalnya : Saya bisa berbahasa Inggris = I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH
• BISA/DAPAT = COULD, lebih halus daripada CAN, misalnya Saya bisa bertemu kamu besok = I COULD SEE YOU TOMORROW
• HARUS/AKAN = SHALL, lebih berarti agak harus, misalnya Saya akan (atau sebaiknya) pergi sekarang = I SHALL GO NOW
• HARUS = SHOULD, misalnya Dia harus membersihkan lantai = HE SHOULD CLEAN THE FLOOR
• HARUS = MUST, lebih harus daripada should, misalnya Kamu harus pergi sekarang = YOU MUST GO NOW
• MUNGKIN/BOLEH = MAY, misalnya : Dia mungkin datang terlambat = HE MAY COME LATE, Kamu boleh makan nasi itu sekarang = YOU MAY EAT THE RICE NOW
• MUNGKIN = MIGHT, misalnya Dia mungkin membeli tanah itu = HE MIGHT BUY THE LAND
Susunan ini digunakan apabila kita menyatakan apa yang AKAN kita lakukan; baik itu yang segera (soon), besok (tomorrow), bulan depan (next month), tahun depan (next year), atau waktu lain setelah saat ini.
