I used to watch “The IT Crowd” when I went to England.It is a funny comedy.I remember laughing my head off sometimes.
This video has made me remember some great episodes.
The interview is quite weird (typical “IT Crowd`s style”).I`m sure I won`t forget the meaning of “showing off”…ha,ha.
Thank you for posting this video is very funny with a bit of acid humour; I think that it shows a spreaded way of humour that British people have. I have never seen before that TV serie but I like it, it is a good way to work your listening skill and have a laugh.
I have heard about this soap opera… Just 2 minutes it’s enough to realise that it’s really brilliant! And what about her explanations of using of the technology? “clicking and double clicking”… Real life! ha ha ha
Ha ha! This video is to fell out my chair laughing!! I think that it is quite close to a real job interview, of course in a funny and amusing way!! Just think about of one that you or someone you know may have had in the past: have you ever lied about something and then you block up your mind, beginning to answer stupid things? Therefore, this is a great example of what you write on the C.V., must be true and demonstrable. Otherwise you are going to put your foot in it! Or, why we all tend to say we are calm, when in fact we feel nervous and scared of what they are going to ask us?
I haven’t seen this British comedy before, but I find it quite amusing. When she is asked about her long experience working with computers, she shows off her curious knowldge. Her voice tries to sound interesting but her face gives her away.
If you don’t understand something, you’ll be able to guess it, because the characters are really expressive. In my opinion, it can be a good way to improve listening skills, so I’m going to get the rest of chapters.
