1. 서둘지말고천천히이야기하자
말을빨리하는것은영어를원어민처럼잘하는사람이나자신감이없는사람모두에게마이너스요인이된다.
원어민처럼잘하는사람은거만하거나도도한느낌을주게되고, 자신감이없는사람은두서없이횡설수설하게돼서신뢰감이없는사람으로느껴지게되므로주의해야한다.
 
2. 예상질문과답변을정리하고, 자연스럽게들릴수있도록사전에충분히연습하자.
자기소개, 취미, 가족소개, 해외경험담등과같은일상적인질문과직무능력을알아보기위한전공선택이유, 지원동기등의범위내에서질문을만들고충실한답변을준비해야한다. 그리고주변의친구나영어에능숙한지인에게문맥상어색한곳이없는지첨삭받고, 외국인의발음을녹음한후자연스럽게말할수있을때까지따라해보자.
 
3. 단답형대답을피하고, 질문의요지를명확히이해하고답변하자.
알아듣지못했거나질문의내용을이해하지못했을때는다시묻거나다른말로설명해달라고요청해서명확한답변을하는것이현명하다. 추측해서엉뚱한답변을할경우언어능력이아니라신뢰도를떨어뜨릴수있음을잊지말자.
