まず講師とレッスンのポイントを確認します。講師に続いて読みましょう。

PART A_2

1.	When asked to describe your greatest weakness, it is not necessary to disclose your real weakness. Instead, a standard job interview tactic is to describe something as a weakness, which can be interpreted as a strength.
2.	If you are a recent graduate, you can use your limited work experience as your greatest weakness.
3.	Be sure to back up your statements with concrete reasons and/or examples.

PART B_1

We will read aloud the dialogue below. Once we are done, we will switch roles and read aloud the dialogue again. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.

PART B_2

A:	Great. Now, would you mind describing one of your greatest strengths?
B:	Of course. I would say my greatest strength is my tenacity. Once I am given a task, I remain committed to it until it is completed. In that sense, I am very tenacious. I take ownership of my tasks and responsibilities.
A:	Excellent. Now please share with me your greatest weakness.
B:	Well, I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. I am very good at adhering to rules, regulations, deadlines, that sort of thing. So when something happens, let’s say a tight deadline cannot be met, I tend to be very hard on myself.
A:	I see. And what would your friends have to say about you?
B:	My friends would say that I am extremely helpful and dependable. If someone needs assistance, I always volunteer to help. In other words, I work harmoniously with others, and I’m a team player.
