important. Do not forget to greet the teacher

Hello/Good morning/Good

afternoon
My name is…
Remember that ‘How do you do?’ is a greeting not a question and the correct response is to repeat ‘How do you do?‘
'How are you?' is a question and the most common and polite response is "I am fine thank you and you?“

If you do not understand the question, be prepared to ask for repetition or clarification if necessary. You could use one of the following phrases:

Repetition
I am sorry, could you repeat that please?
Could / can you say that again, please?
Would you mind saying that again, please?

Asking about words

Weaknesses

German-Russian Institute of Advanced Technologies

beautiful answer to the question “What are your weaknesses?”
Examples

of talking about weaknesses in order to still show yourself in a favorable way

I think that at the moment I tend to be a bit too individualistic, but I am learning to work in team and to become a true team-player. This is why I would like to study at GRIAT. I am sure it will give me this opportunity.
I am afraid I tend to focus on studies too much and sometimes I do not get enough of rest. I am learning to combine effectively all parts of my life. I believe studying at GRIAT with totally new opportunities like working on company projects, studying languages, meeting peers from all over the world, travelling to Germany will help me broaden my horizon and develop self-discipline
I lack international experience. I have never travelled or been abroad, I have never had any friends from other countries. This lack of experience might influence my ability to communicate in English fluently or bring some additional difficulties in working in international teams. This is why I think entering GRIAT will become a life-changing experience for me and a chance to get this crucial experience.
Etc.

NB: Weaknesses are not a bad thing as long as you see them, know how to work on them and understand what steps to take to improve yourself. It is better to show that you are conscious and motivated rather than that you are a perfect human being (no one will believe it anyways ☺ )
