Speaking exercise

They don’t find that I was the man who was recommended by the headhunter. I can use this chance to talk with the brand manager or GM. I think we can have some more casual chat with each other.

Maybe it’s very easy for me to get chance to work in the brand. If I have that experience maybe I have more chance to work in the bigger brand.

If it’s very interesting or attractive job, maybe I will to another city.I know for most big companies if they need to transfer their staff to another city, I think it isn’t necessary because it’s easier to find a new person in that city.

I think every week is too much, but once a month or twice a month. Usually I will meet my very close friends once a month.

The rent fee is very important part for me and the other important part is I don’t have enough time to do the housework. I’m thinking about the problem recently because I need some time by myself.

Just because we need to meet short so the problem can be solved easily.

Their friends’ daughters don’t do that so they think I cannot these things different.

I will travel with my good friends and I found a lot of problems in the travel time. I think it’s very normal problem. Maybe it’s about the room and we have different way of travel.

Revised: 

They don’t think that I am a good fit/suitable for the job. I can use this chance/take this opportunity to talk with the brand manager or GM. I think we can have a more casual chat with each other.

It might be very easy for me to get the chance to work for the brand. If I have that experience maybe I will have more chance to work for a bigger brand.

If it’s a very interesting or attractive job, maybe I will go to another city. I know that for most big companies if they need to transfer their staff to another city, it would be more costly so they don’t prefer to do this because it’s easier to find/hire a new person in that city.

I think every week is too much, but once a month or twice a month. Usually, I will meet my very close friends once a month.

The rent fee is one of the main priorities for me and the other important aspect/reason is I don’t have enough time to do the housework. I’ve been thinking about the problem recently because I need some time by myself/to be alone.

Just because we see each other often so the problem can be solved easily.

Their friends’ daughters don’t live alone so they think I cannot do these things differently. 

I travelled with my good friends and I found a lot of problems at that time. I think they are very normal problems/regular issues. It might be about the room or we have different travel habits. 

I tried to go on a blind date with someone who is much older than 35.
