Since you can dedicate only 1 hour daily, here’s a focused plan to help you improve your English and get ready for interviews within 15 days:
Daily 1-Hour Routine:
1. Day 1-5: Focus on Basic Communication Skills (1 hour/day)
Goal: Improve vocabulary, fluency, and confidence in speaking.
- 10 minutes – Vocabulary Building: Learn 5-10 common words or phrases used in interviews (e.g., “teamwork,” “problem-solving,” “deadline”). Use an app like Duolingo to help.
- 20 minutes – Listening Practice: Watch a short TED Talk, YouTube video, or podcast related to interviews or business topics. Focus on how speakers pronounce words and structure their sentences.
- 20 minutes – Speaking Practice: Record yourself speaking about your daily routine, job role, or an interview question. Listen to the recording and note areas for improvement (e.g., pronunciation, grammar).
- 10 minutes – Reading Out Loud: Read an English article or news related to your field. Reading out loud improves fluency and pronunciation.
2. Day 6-10: Practice for Interviews (1 hour/day)
Goal: Prepare for answering common interview questions confidently.
- 20 minutes – Answering Interview Questions: Pick 3 common interview questions (e.g., “Tell me about yourself,” “Why should we hire you?”) and practice answering them out loud. Record your answers.
- 20 minutes – Listening and Repeating: Listen to interview videos (YouTube has many mock interview videos) and repeat key phrases or responses to improve sentence structure.
- 10 minutes – Vocabulary Review: Revise and use the words you’ve learned so far in your interview answers.
- 10 minutes – Write and Revise: Write a few key sentences about yourself (your introduction, strengths, etc.). This will help you refine your speaking for interviews.
3. Day 11-15: Focus on Fluency and Confidence (1 hour/day)
Goal: Be ready to confidently speak and respond during interviews.
- 20 minutes – Mock Interviews: Simulate an interview. Practice answering 5 questions, focusing on your tone, pronunciation, and structure.
- 20 minutes – Listening and Analyzing: Watch an interview or corporate-related video and analyze how the speaker communicates. Try to mimic their tone and phrasing.
- 10 minutes – Speaking Freely: Pick any topic (your career goals, job role, hobbies) and speak about it for 5 minutes without stopping. This builds fluency.
- 10 minutes – Review Mistakes: Go over the mistakes you made in your mock interviews or speaking practice. Focus on improving one or two key areas (e.g., grammar, word choice).
Additional Tips:
- Practice Thinking in English: Throughout the day, try to think in English rather than your native language. This will improve fluency and speed.
- Stay Consistent: Even with just 1 hour, daily practice will add up. Stick to the routine!
This routine will help you build the confidence and skills needed for your interviews.
