Tuesday's Assignment

So you have some useful job skills. Can you write them down in a list? How about putting "Novice," "Mediocre," or "Expert" beside each of those skills, and sharing your list with a partner? So your list might look like:

1. Typing - Mediocre
2. Managing a team - Expert
3. Big data - Novice
4. Java - Expert
5. Thai cuisine - Mediocre
6. TENS acupuncture - novice

Is it important to describe accurately one's skill level for the job? What difference does it make?

Which one's the expert? It's costly not to master the art of the educated guess.

Here are your tasks:

1. Role play: Describing One’s Skill Level
1. Find vocabulary words that could replace those on your skill list.
2. Practise, as usual, by yourself, with a partner, and then together with an audio/video program.
2. Browse this LinkedIn page.
1. Identify 5 skills you see and indicate the level: B, I, A (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
2. Add 5 skills you have that were not listed there, with their respective skill levels.
3. Post comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts.
