PRACTICAL CHALLENGE
So, we’ve mentioned this before but
be sure you say your answers out loud.
It’s so important to actually say what you’re thinking.
Right, Rosa. That’s good advice.
And as I mentioned in the opening, repetition.
So, even though it might be a little bit boring, you have to repeat,
repeat, repeat until it really gets into your head.
And then you have a chance of it coming out very naturally.
So, keep at it.

He’s super intelligent and has had an impressive career up to now.

By the way, Rosa.
What’s your idea of a great catch?
Well, I would have to say, someone who is confident and friendly,
and who has at least one thing that they can be proud of.
Wow! That’s an impressive answer.
The short answer would have been…Chris!
