Lesson: Skills and characteristics
This week we are looking at language for describing people’s skills and characteristics, which is very useful when hiring staff or delegating.
Part 1: Describing character, performance, and skills
Workers are usually assessed by their character, performance, and skills. There are many ways, both positive and negative, to describe these qualities.
Part 2: Describing coworkers
It is possible to describe the same qualities a worker has in different ways. Look at the example along with the rephrased description. Although the descriptions are different, each says the same things about someone.
Part 3: Choosing the right candidate
With the class, discuss the characteristics and skills someone should have for the jobs. Try using some patterns to express your opinions.
