about the first video,
ResponderEliminarI think that the elevator speech of Roger has an appropriate structure and he has a good fluency. I will just add a sentence between the end of his own up data about himself and the farewell. Also I think he could improve his English pronunciation.
The next video of Laura is very nice. She has much more grammar and it is more suitable. About the structure I didn't see anything wrong. she has a positive face expression and nice sound.
And the last video of Sigrid,
she seems so exciting at the beginning of her introduction and also at the end, but she has a good fluency and grammar.
Elevator Pitch 1 :
ResponderEliminarEven if the presentation is very short, there is a good structure of the elevator pitch, starting with introducing himself and then showing his interest to the company.
However, there is some grammatical mistakes, for example saying "I am searching for " instead of " I am looking for".
Also, the word "fan" used is informal and could be replaced by the verb "admire".
Elevator pitch 2 :
This presentation shows a lot of enthusiasm, it shows that she really wants the job.
However, the rythm of the speech is a little bit fast , which can lead to confusion .
Elevator pitch 3 :
By specifying exactly the period when she wants to work in the hotel, she shows that she is ready to start.

ResponderEliminarPros: Good structure, body language & self-confidence

Elevator 1: the speaker has been clear and direct. I would say "join your company" instead of "join TO your company".

Wrong sentences: "I've informed a lot about your travel agency and I think it's the better place for someone who is a lover of tourism for working", "I would love to keep in touch with you and you to know more about me". The correct sentences could be: "I've searched for in-depth information on your travel agency and I think it's the best workplace for someone who loves tourism", "I would love to keep in touch with you and I would like to encourage you to know more about me".
Elevator pitch 7:

Language problems: "sales assistant" instead of "sale assistant", "I am fascinated" instead of "I fascinated", "I would like to apply for this post/job" instead of "I would like to apply for this company", "I've been working in other places" instead of "I've been working in another places", "I hope to contact you" instead of "I hope in get in contact with you", and the pronunciation of "hotel", which is stressed in the second syllable.
