第一次看此系列文的朋友，請先移步到 Day 1 – 如何開始？進行方式、自我介紹實戰 哦！

🎬 情境故事

面試最後通常會問一句：「Do you have any questions for us?」。中文面試時我會準備一些問題，今天就用英文來面試。

今日目標：想好至少兩個問題（公司、職位、團隊文化相關），把它用英文完整說出來。

🤖 Config Prompt

[Config]
- Day: Day7 – Asking Questions in an Interview
- Scenario: Job interview — the interviewer asks if you have any questions. You should ask thoughtful, relevant questions about the role, team, or company. Then you will get a short answer.

👉 在練習之前...

先想想看你想提問的問題，可以朝著下面方向想一下：

1. 這份職缺的核心責任是什麼（工作內容）
2. 這個團隊的規模與分工（團隊資訊）
3. 公司的技術堆疊或發展方向（技術/產業）
4. 面試過程中我想釐清的地方（個人關注點）

並且把他寫下來。

我的關鍵問題：

1. What are the key responsibilities for this role in the first three months?
2. What achievements would you expect from me within the first year?

📝 我的今日反饋

今天更著重在重音還有連音上。
基本上文法都沒有什麼問題，而且他給的換句話說滿有幫助的，所以我今天練習了兩次。

Per-turn Corrections:
	1.	“Can you please say that again?” – You repeated it perfectly after my recast. Another way: “Could you say that one more time?”
	2.	“What does a typical day look like in this role?” – Correctly repeated. Another phrasing: “Can you describe a usual day in this job?”
	3.	“How does the team usually collaborate on projects?” – Repeated well. Another phrasing: “How do team members usually work together on projects?”
	4.	“How big is this team, including front-end, back-end, QA, and project managers?” – Nicely done. Another way: “Can you tell me the size of each part of the team, like front-end or QA?”

Top 3 Patterns:
	•	Question Formation: You did well forming questions, just keep them concise. A simple rule: start with a “wh” word and keep it short.
	•	Clarity in Roles: You asked clearly about different roles. Just remember a quick list is fine.
	•	Politeness and Structure: You naturally kept your questions polite. Just a reminder: start with “Can you tell me” or “What do you think about…” to keep it smooth.

Phrase Pack:
	•	“What does a typical day look like in this role?”
	•	“How does the team usually collaborate on projects?”
	•	“Can you tell me a bit about the team size and structure?”
	•	“What qualities do you value most in a successful candidate?”
	•	“Could you describe how teams work together here?”

Intonation Tip: When you ask a question, try raising your intonation slightly at the end to sound interested and polite. For example: “What does a typical day look like in this role?”

Fluency & Pronunciation Notes:
	1.	Your sentences were nice and clear.
	2.	You kept a good moderate pace.
	3.	Pronunciation was quite easy to understand.
	4.	You sounded polite and professional.
	5.	You repeated corrected sentences well.

Key Focus for Next Time:
	•	Practice forming more follow-up questions.
	•	Do a 3-minute drill of shadowing those key phrases.
	•	Try a short substitution exercise: swap out “team” or “project” for another word to build flexibility.

1) Per-turn Corrections
	•	Turn 1: You said, “What are the key responsibilities for this role in the first three months?”
	•	Rewrite: “What are the key responsibilities for this role in the first three months?” (Your sentence was perfect!)
	•	Alternative phrasing: “What will be my main duties in the first three months?”
	•	Turn 3: You said, “What achievements would you expect from me within the first year?”
	•	Rewrite: “What achievements would you expect from me within the first year?” (Also correct as is!)
	•	Alternative phrasing: “What goals would you like me to achieve by the end of my first year?”
	•	Turn 5: You said, “How is the company planning to grow in the next year?”
	•	Rewrite: “How is the company planning to grow in the next year?” (Again, this was spot on!)
	•	Alternative phrasing: “What are the company’s growth plans for the upcoming year?”

2) Top 3 Patterns
	•	Pattern 1: Your questions are clear and direct. Just remember to keep them concise, as you’ve been doing.
	•	Pattern 2: You use the phrase “within the first year” correctly, which is great for timelines.
	•	Pattern 3: When asking about company plans, using “How is the company planning…” is a nice open form.

3) Phrase Pack
	•	“What are the key responsibilities in the first few months?”
	•	“What achievements do you expect by the end of my first year?”
	•	“How is the company planning to grow in the coming year?”
	•	“What will my first project likely be?”
	•	“What does success look like for someone in this role after a year?”

4) Intonation Tip
	•	When asking questions about time frames, emphasize the time-related part. For example: “within the first year” or “in the next year” to highlight the timeframe clearly.

5) Fluency & Pronunciation Notes
	•	Your sentences were clear and easy to understand.
	•	You maintained a good moderate pace, which is perfect for your level.
	•	You pronounced all key words well, especially “responsibilities” and “achievements.”
	•	Keep focusing on clear and short sentences; you did great.

6) Key Focus for Next Time
	•	Improvement Goals: Next time, let’s practice varying the types of questions you ask (like asking about team culture or future challenges).
	•	Drills (≤3 min): Try a quick shadowing drill with these new question phrases, and then a substitution drill by swapping out “first year” for “first six months” or similar.
