First one:Please tell me about your work experience.
"work experience" is the type of work you've done in the past.If you havent started working yet you can say "Right now I'm still a student." or "I'm a recent grad and I havent started working yet" In the second sentence."recent grad" is short for "recent graduate" and means that you have just finished school.

请告诉我你过去的工作经验。工作经验就是你过去所作的工作。如果尚未开始工作，就可以回答“Right now I'm still a student”(现在我还是个学生。) 或者说“I'm a recent grad and I havent started working yet.”(我刚刚毕业，还没有开始工作。)“recent grad”是“recent graduate”的缩写，意思是刚刚毕业。

Second one:What's your greatest weakness?

This is a popular question that western employers like to ask to make candidates nervous!In fact,they ask this to know how you respond to a difficult question.You shouldnt answer by telling your greatest weakness since you might not get the job!Instead, you can tell them something that isn't directly related to the job position.

你最大的缺点是什么？西方老板特别喜欢问这个问题，让面试者感到很紧张。事实上，他问这个问题是看你对棘手问题的反应。你没必要如实回答你的弱点，因为那有可能让你得不到这份工作。相反，你可以告诉他们一些与工作不直接相关的事情。

Third one:Why do you feel you are qualified for this job?
This question is a good opportunity to brag a little bit.You should talk about some extra skills you have that maybe wasnt included in your resume,or talk about your greatest strength in more detail.

你为什么觉得自己胜任这份工作？这时候你要充分发挥你的“自夸”本领，你可以讲述一些简历资料里面没有包括的技能；或者是在详细强调一下你的特长。

Fourth one: What kind of salary did you have in mind?
Salary is how much money you earn.usually per year.When asked this,it's best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact figure,This shows that you are familiar with the industry if you know what the approximate salary should be.

你期望的薪水是多少？“salary”就是你赚多少钱，通常是年收入。回答这个问题时，最好说出一个大致范围，而不是一个确切的数字。如果你能说出这个工资范围，哪就说明你对此行业非常了解。

Fifth one:If hired,when could you start work?

When answering this it's best not to say you can start right away.This might make you seem very desperate for a job.A safe answer would be"Ican start at the beginning of next month."

如果雇佣的话，你什么时候开始工作？回答这个问题时，一定要注意！不要说我马上可以工作。那会让对方认为你非常迫切地需要这份工作。一个非常保险的回答可以是“I can start at the beginning of next month”(我下个月初上班)

Sixth one:What kind of work does the posi-tion involve?
You can ask this to clarify exactly what kind of work you'll be doing.

这个职位包括哪些工作？通过问这句话，你可以清楚地了解到你的工作内容。

==朋友拜访==

1.Make yourself at home.
Alternative sentence:"My house is your house."Both sentences are very warm ways of welcoming a guest.

请随意，把这儿当成自己的家吧！“Make yourself at home”和“My house is your house”同样的意思，两句话都是对客人非常热情地招呼。

2.Can i get you something to drink?
It's polite to offer someone a drink if they are coming to your home or office.Can i get you something to drink?
家里来了客人或这是办公室来了客人这句话都用得上，问问别人“需不需要来点喝的？”

3.Would you like something to eat?
Depending on the situation,you might also ask your guest if they want something to eat.If they will be staying for a longer period of time.you should probably offer them something to eat.

根据不同情况，“Would you like something to eat?”你可以用来问你的客人是否想吃点什么东西，如果他们在你家里呆很长时间，你应该给他们拿点儿吃的东西。
4.When did you first come to China?
This is a good question to ask a foreign guest.Hopefully it will help to start an interesting conversation.

问一问老外“When did you first come to China?”,这是一个非常好的问题。可以帮助你们开始一段非常有趣的谈话。

5.What do you think of Beijing?
This is a great way to ask someone what they think of any particular place.After asking this,you can follow up with other questions.Do they miss their family?

"What do you think of……" 非常适合用来问别人觉得某个地方怎么样。问完这个问题，你可以接着问其他问题。他们喜欢那里吗，习惯了吗，思念家人吗？

6.So do you have any plans for your stay here?
You might be interested in why your foreign friend has come to China and what they plan to do while they're here.Most foreigners come either for work or for travel,and sometimes for both.
"So,do you have any special plants while you're here."

你可能会非常想知道为什么你的外国朋友来到中国以及他们有什么具体的计划安排吗？大部分老外中国是为了工作或者旅游，有时两者兼有。

==问路==

1."Execuse me,do you know where the Shuang'An Market is?"

Alternative sentence:"Can I go by bus?""When using the "go by"structure,bus can be substituted with other modes of transportation;i.e.,"Can I go by taxi?"or "Can i go by foot?"

"我能坐公共汽车去吗？"“你可以乘公共汽车，但打的会更方便一些”

哪儿附近有什么标志性建筑物吗？这个句子使指引的方向更清晰一些。当然也可以问一下“What's the closet major intersection”最近的重要的十字路口时哪个？

5."How long will it take by taxi?" Answer:"It should take about 20minutes by taxi"
To go someplace"by taxi" means to take a taxi there.You can also say that you want to "cab it";i.e.,The club is too far to walk to,let's cab it!"

打车去某地是“go there by taxi”或者“take a taxi there”也可以说“cab it”例如“The club is too far to walk to,let's cab it!”(那个俱乐部走着去太远了，咱们打的去吧); 0
