1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Parents are the best teachers. In a modern society, people always face the dilemma to choose whether parents or other people are the best teachers. This problem is the much-debated one in that it affects everyone in their daily lives. As far as I am concerned, I think that parents are the best teachers because of their love and lifetime teaching. In the following discussion, I would like to present evidence to support my point of view.

On the one hand, the first argument that can be presented to develop my position is that parents love us whole-heartedly. For example, from time to time, they have to give up their own time, pleasure, and even their dreams in order to fulfill our needs.

Moreover, most parents do not expect their children to thank to their invaluable contributions but rather look forward to a sagacious and happy life for their children to enjoy. In short, there is no better example than this to illustrate the strength of our parents’ teaching.

What techniques can I use to control my nerves?

In interviews, nerves can make you forget to do simple things such as smile and listen, which can result in being thought of as unfriendly or inattentive. You’re more likely to be nervous if you’re inadequately prepared so as well as following our advice above, you should:
• give yourself time to think about what unique qualities you will bring to the job/organisation;
• think of practical examples to demonstrate what you have achieved and draw upon all aspects of your working, educational and social life;
• write notes and take these along to the interview;
• use cues in your notes to highlight examples that you want to draw upon, such as ‘cricket team’, ‘course representative’, ‘sales job’;
• be aware of the structure of the interview. Interviews often begin with topics that are easier to answer because you need less time to think, such as ‘tell us about your studies at university’;
• pause before answering a difficult question in order to give yourself time to think;
• use positive language, as interviewers will be assessing your motivation and enthusiasm;
• ask for clarification if, at first, you’re unsure of what the question means;
• breathe.
