College Interviews: Win with Your Own Words
Description
Book Introduction
The goal of this book is to help you develop the ability to narrate an interview in your own words.
Rather than simply listing memorized answers to questions, it contains a process of developing thinking skills and learning logical expression through listening and speaking practice.
It is structured so that you can logically organize your thoughts and convey them naturally during a conversation with the interviewer.

Publisher's Review
The book is divided into five chapters:


Chapter 1: College Entrance Interviews: So This Is It
Chapter 2: College Interviews: Speaking and Listening
Chapter 3: College Entrance Interviews: Approaching Each Type
Chapter 4: College Interviews: I Create the Questions
Chapter 5: College Interviews: Questions and Answers

In particular, 'This Question, That Answer' contains 'vivid interview reviews' and 'expected questions' that cannot be found in any existing interview preparation textbook.
We share the real-life experiences of our seniors, recreating the interview atmosphere, the interviewer's reactions, and even the laughter, all in their own words.
Additionally, by analyzing the content of six subjects focusing on the social studies area, we selected 28 key words with high frequency of appearance, created questions based on these, provided example answers, and highlighted key points.
