TESTE DE INGLÊS...O PESADELO!!

Uma das coisas mais temidas pelas aspirantes a Au Pair... O TESTE/ENTREVISTA em inglês. Gente, venhamos e convenhamos, o teste de inglês apenas serve para a agência saber se você consegue se comunicar em inglês, já que você cuidará de crianças e a língua do país que você estará é o inglês, ou seja, eles querem saber se você sabe o mínimo de inglês para conseguir manter uma conversa com as famílias, até porque elas te ligarão e conversarão com vocês por telefone ou mesmo o skype... Então, não se desesperem agora a entrevista na agência é tranquila (busquem as melhores orientadoras, as mais atenciosas) é mais ou menos uns 15/20 minutos de perguntas bobas que é só ter um pouquinho de vocabulário e prestar atenção nos verbos que a orientadora usa como:

1. Have you ever lived out of your home country before?

2. Would you rather be out with friends or in with the family on a typical weekday night?
