1. What problems have you had using first and last names in other cultures?

- When establishing friendships, people from many nations and cultures have certain
methods of speaking and addressing others. An extremely awkward scenario for both
parties might result from not understanding how to address someone. It's crucial to keep
in mind that some names may take up more space than names in the normal English
spelling when designing online forms for individuals from various countries to fill out:
Spanish people frequently have two surnames, Chinese names are given in a different
sequence, Unicode characters must be allowed on forms since several languages have
accents or use scripts other than Latin, etc. It may not be customary to use someone's
first name unless you have been specifically encouraged to do so in various cultures.
Even if it's becoming more popular in many languages to address new people by their
first names, this still holds true for online correspondence.
2. What do you offer visitors to eat and drink at your company?
- The first is the breakfast meeting since it is crucial to serve food early in the morning
because breakfast is the most significant meal of the day. Moreover, feeling hungry can
be quite distracting when they occur during crucial meetings! Fortunately, you can
combine nutritious foods with delectable treats like sandwiches with jam to make client
meetings more fruitful and entertaining.
- A dish of fresh fruit should also be available so that your visitors and coworkers have a
healthy snack alternative. The majority of fruits are a natural source of important
nutrients and are low in fat, allowing you and your clients to refuel for productive meals.
Pick seasonal fruits to ensure they are readily available and in season. For greater ease
and less mess, skewer bite-sized pieces of fruit.
- Every business meeting needs water to keep attendees and clients hydrated during long
meetings in the afternoon. Whenever visitors want help with a dish, also offer them
alternative alternatives like tea, coffee, and soft drinks.
3. Do you find it easier to meet native English speakers or non-native English
speakers?
- It's simpler to interact with non-native speakers. I suppose it depends on their
proficiency, but generally speaking, they use fewer idioms, utilize simpler sentences, and
speak more slowly, all of which can be beneficial. Some non-native speakers, of course,
can match and even surpass native fluency, therefore generalizing about non-native
speakers' levels would be unfair. Non-native speakers are conscious of their speech
patterns and content. They tend to be more circumspect in their word choice and
frequently try to steer clear of difficult terms or phrases, at least in part out of concern
about misunderstanding.
4. Who would you introduce to your boss? To your boss’s boss?
- I'm going to introduce my mum to my boss. She is the one who most motivates me in
life. My mother always pays close attention to whether I share a personal or professional
tale with her. She is always interested in the tales I tell and offers me a lot of life advice.
Every time I speak with her, I can see that the issue has been resolved much more
successfully than before, which makes me exhale with relief. Being my mother's
daughter makes me incredibly happy.
