If you've been invited to a job interview, it's a good sign. It means the company thinks you have potential and they want to know more about you.

Interviewers can sometimes ask unpredictable questions, but you can increase your chance of success by preparing well! Here's how.

Study the job description

The job description says what skills, experience and personal characteristics the company needs.

Think of examples of your past work that demonstrate your strengths in these areas. You may have other skills too, but focus on those mentioned in the job description.

Anticipate questions and prepare answers

Here are some common questions to prepare for.

Why do you want this job?

What can you bring to this role?

Why did you leave your last job?

Where do you see yourself in five years' time?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

What challenges could you face in this job?

Your answers will be more persuasive if you include real examples of your work. For instance:

Q: What can you bring to this role?

A: Good time management. It's one of my strengths. In my last role I organised our office relocation, which was a huge project involving over a hundred staff in only three months. I delegated work within my team to save time. I set deadlines for completion of the project stages and I monitored progress regularly. Because of this, the relocation was completed on time and on budget. I feel confident I can bring these skills into this role.

Some questions may ask you to talk about weaknesses, failures or challenges. Nevertheless, be optimistic. For example, if you have to talk about a failure you experienced, you can also say what you learned from it or how you avoid repeating it.

Look at your CV and guess what interviewers will want to know. For instance, if you have any gaps between jobs, they may ask what you did during that time.

Research the company

Find out as much as you can. Check the company's website, LinkedIn and social media, and ask your friends and colleagues.

You can use this information in the interview. If you know about the company's current activities, for example, you can say which ones you are keen to be involved in. It will show your interest in the job.

Practise English

Here are some suggestions for vocabulary practice:

positive adjectives to describe you (e.g. determined, resilient) and your work (e.g. innovative, successful)

verbs to describe your achievements and actions (e.g. coordinate, direct, develop, create)

words to describe projects and goals (e.g. objective, success criteria, implementation)

words to describe professional development (e.g. training, qualifications)

technical terms in your field

phrases for social interaction (e.g. Nice to meet you; It's my pleasure).

Also check the pronunciation of any technical terms, the company's name and the interviewers' names.

Practise speaking English aloud until you feel comfortable and confident. It's a good idea to do a practice interview - ask a friend to ask you some questions and practise responding in English.

Prepare your own questions

You may have a chance to ask your interviewers some questions. This is a good way to show your interest as well as to find out more about the job. Here are some suggestions.

What do you think the challenges will be for this role?

What's the next step in the recruitment process after this interview?

When will you notify candidates about the outcome of the interview?

Will there be any support for training and development in this role?

Prepare the practicalities

Decide what clothes you will wear and get them looking smart. Pack in your bag anything that you need to bring, such as your ID card or certificates. Take a bottle of water too. Arriving late makes a bad impression, so plan to arrive at the venue early.

For online interviews, find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Turn on your device's camera and check that the picture is clear and the room lighting is not too bright or dark. Check that the microphone picks up your voice clearly too. Have a look around the interview platform (e.g. Zoom or Skype) and get familiar with the controls (how to mute, share screen, etc.). Also prepare any notes that you want to refer to.

Good luck in your interview!

What is Bonfire Night?

Bonfire night is on the 5th November every year. It remembers Guy Fawkes and the failed Gunpowder Plot.

People across the UK celebrate Bonfire Night with fireworks, bonfires, sparklers and toffee apples.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This collection of BBC resources for schools can be used to support teaching around Bonfire Night.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bonfire Night can be a hard celebration to explain. It's also sometimes called Guy Fawkes Night - but who was Guy Fawkes and what's it all about? Well, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up London's Houses of Parliament in 1605 because he wanted to kill King James I. So British people celebrate that night, 5 November, with bonfire parties, including huge bonfires in public parks, and firework displays.

But isn't it strange to celebrate a plot to kill the king?

Well, yes, it would be. But if you know more about the history of Bonfire Night and the Gunpowder Plot, its traditions make more sense. You see, the first Bonfire Night, on 5 November 1606, wasn't exactly a celebration. It was a warning: 'This is what happens if you commit treason.'

Who was Guy Fawkes?

Guy Fawkes was a soldier and he was not the only person involved in the plot to blow up Parliament. He made his plan with a group of 12 English Catholic gentlemen. The leader was Sir Robert Catesby. As a soldier, Fawkes was in charge of the gunpowder. The men rented a room underneath Parliament and filled 36 barrels with gunpowder - probably about 2,500 kilograms. Fawkes stayed to blow up the barrels and then escape. But someone sent a letter to Lord Monteagle, a Catholic, to tell him not to go to Parliament that day. In this way, the plot was discovered, and Guy Fawkes was caught before he could carry it out.

All the members of the plot were either killed or arrested and then killed in public. Parliament ordered a national day to give thanks for the safety of the king on 5 November. People had to go to church and they celebrated with a big bonfire. By the 1650s, the celebration included fireworks and later a 'guy' - a man made of straw and old clothes and burned on the bonfire.

Why was there a plot?

Guy Fawkes and the other members of the plot didn't like the way Protestant James I (and Queen Elizabeth I before him) treated Catholics like them. At that time, Catholics couldn't have their own churches. They had to practise their religion in secret, and it was very dangerous if they were caught. The Gunpowder Plot was not the first Catholic plan to try to kill the king, but it was the biggest. Afterwards, many people were suspicious of Catholics, even as late as the 18th and 19th centuries. This was very unfair, as most Catholics were peaceful and were also shocked by the plots.

Bonfire Night today

The celebrations have remained mostly the same for hundreds of years, although people nowadays don't go to church as part of the day. Most towns and villages organise public displays where you can stand by huge bonfires and watch the fireworks as you eat a toffee apple or a hot snack. Many children learn this poem about Bonfire Night at school, and they look forward to a special evening out:

Remember, remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

So if you're ever in the UK on 5 November, you'll now know what all the noise is about!

Describing your home

When you write about your home you can write about:

where it is

the different rooms in your home

what is in each room

Vocabulary

Check some vocabulary related to rooms and furniture or appliances before writing the essay. Here you can see some useful words:

Prepositions

Use these prepositions and phrases to describe where you live. You should review prepositions of place before writing this essay.

Note that when we say a ten-minute walk, a twenty-minute walk, etc. we use a number + a hyphen ( -) + the word minute in the singular.

There is/are

Use there is/are to write about the things in or near your home.

Use there is with singular nouns. Use a before the singular noun. The negative form is there isn't.

You can shorten there is to there's.

Use there are with plural nouns. We often use some or a number before the noun.

In negative sentences, we use any, NOT some.

Has/Has got

You can also use has or has got to write about what is in the house. The negative form is doesn't have or hasn't got.

Just/Only

You can use just or only when there are a small number of things. Look where just and only go in a sentence.

With

Use with to add extra information about a home, room, or piece of furniture.

Some useful adverbs

Start your sentence with one of these adverbs to talk about different parts of your home.

Lists

When we write about our homes we often include lists. Look at the list below.

In the living room, there is a sofa, two armchairs and a television.

Look how

we use there is because the first item on the list (a sofa) is singular.

we use a comma (,) between the first items on the list. Before the last item, we write and.

To contrast between positive and negative things in a list, use but.

What to do if you're a victim of scams or fraud | Age UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Often when we talk about scams, we discuss them in financial terms and don't talk about the emotional impact they can have. But they can leave us feeling embarrassed, unsettled and unsafe, and have a lasting impact on our confidence. They can also leave us feeling unsure about who we can trust.

But if you've been scammed, it's important to reach out and talk about what's happened. It's nothing to feel embarrassed about - these scams are increasingly sophisticated and are purposefully designed to steal your money by posing as people or organisations you trust.

They can catch you on a day you're busy doing something else, or just having one of those days. We've all had them.

Present Simple vs. Present Continuous

What is the difference?
I speak English - is in the Present Simple tense
I am speaking English - is in the Present Continuous tense

When do we use the Present Simple and when do we use the Present Continuous?

Let's look at each one...

PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

We use the present simple tense:
1. For facts or things that are always true or generally true.

Whales live in the ocean.
(This is a fact, this is always true)

A dog has four legs.
(This is generally true, unfortunately some dogs have three legs or less)

It rains a lot in winter.
(Yes, this is generally true)

Water boils at 100º Celsius.
(This is a fact, just like the fact that water freezes at 0º Celsius)

The present simple tense is also used...
2. For regular habits or repeated actions
These are often daily routines and they happen always, often, generally, every week, etc.

I brush my teeth three times a day.

I read in bed every night.

He walks to school every day.

She goes to the gym after work.

I study for two hours every evening.

Common time expressions used with the present simple tense are:

always, often, generally, normally, usually, sometimes, never ...

every day, every week, every year...
(note the time word is in single form, day, not days.)

once a day, twice a week, three times a month...
(then the rest are four times, five times etc. then A and the time period, a month, a year, a century)

in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night
(we don't sayin the night)

on Mondays, on Fridays...
(when the day is in plural it refers to all Mondays, all Fridays)

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

We use the present continuous tense:
1. An action happening right now at the moment of speaking.
When somebody is doing something right now or something is happening right now.

I am teaching an English lesson. (Yes, that is what is happening right now)

You are watching a video.

Steve is washing his hair.

She is taking her dog for a walk.

Please be quiet, the baby is sleeping.

It is snowing right now.

Listen! The birds are singing.

You can see that these actions are happening right now and they are temporary actions, normally for a short period of time.
2. To talk about something that is happening AROUND the time of speaking but not necessarily at that exact moment.
This action is in progress and hasn't finished.

(It doesn't necessarily mean that I am reading a book right at this moment. It refers to this moment of my life. I have started reading this book and I haven't finished it)

They are staying at a local hotel because the roof of their house was damaged during the storm.

(It doesn't necessarily mean they are at the hotel right at this moment. Maybe they are at work right now or somewhere else. This situation is temporary.)

(It doesn't necessarily mean he is learning the language right now at a desk with all of his language books. It refers to this moment of his life.)
Common time expressions used with the present continuous are:

Now, right now, at the moment, still

NOTE: Sometimes the present continuous is called the present progressive in some workbooks or lessons.

Now let's compare the two tenses together...

Present Simple vs Present Continuous

Here are the sentences from the beginning of this lesson.

We say I speak English, because it is a fact. I generally speak English. So we use the Present Simple tense.

We say I am speaking English because it refers to what I am doing now. It is a temporary action because in a moment I might start speaking in Spanish. So we use the Present Continuous.

Let's compare more sentences:

We use the Present Simple for things that don't change for a long time. I plan to live in England for a long time and I don't plan to change soon. It is more or less permanent. But if I say:

I used the present continuous because this situation is temporary. Next month I plan to live in a different city.

Another example:

We use the present simple because this is a fact or is generally true.

We use the present continuous because we are talking about an action that is happening right now. It is in progress. It will not continue forever, it is temporary. Tomorrow it might be sunny.

Compare these two sentences:

The first sentence shows the action that is happening now... he is biting his nails right now.
The second sentence uses the present simple because it is talking about his habit, sometime that he does when he is nervous. Notice how we use the present simple tense with the adverb of frequency, always.

Another example:

That is what he does for a job from Monday to Friday every week. This is his routine.

He is teaching business at the local school this week.

It is possibly a temporary job he has this week because next week he will return to his normal job or maybe he will teach at another school next week.

Affirmative, Negative, Questions

Let's compare the present simple and present continuous in affirmative sentences, negative sentences and in questions.

Here are two affirmative sentences:

Let's look at the negative form:

We use DO NOT or DOES NOT to make negative sentences in the present simple. Remember, we can use the contractions don't and doesn't.

We add NOT between to be and the verb to make negative sentences in the present continuous.

And making questions:

We use DO or DOES to make questions in the present simple tense.

We change the order of the subject (pronoun) and the conjugation of the verb To Be when making questions in the present continuous tense.

Questions - Same verbs, different meanings

Questions can have the same verb but its meaning changes depending on if the question is in the present simple or present continuous. For example:

What do you do? = What is your job?

What are you doing? = What (action) are you doing at the moment?

What do you read? = What type of books do you like to read?

What are you reading? = What is the name of the book you are reading right now?
