Week 40, weekly review, Tuesday

Month 10 review

A short story, ten questions across the whole week, extra practice from earlier weeks, your words and your can-do list. About 60 minutes.

1Story of the week 15 minutes

Ivan has a job interview.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Собеседование (The interview)

Иван пришёл на собеседование в девять часов.

Он рассказал, что работает инженером уже семь лет и руководит маленькой командой.

Его спросили: «Почему вы хотите работать у нас?»

Через неделю ему позвонили: он получил работу!

Listen to Russian on the same topic. The textbook audio matches it best; the YouTube link opens a search, so pick a short video made for beginners.
