Native Camp DEMO FAILED!! Trap Questions (Instant Fail) | Beware of Native Camp Admins/Evaluators!

[@TeachaKaren]

⚠️for 14:20 sorry for the error. I mistakenly explained the wrong answer instead of the correct one. "SHE" IS A SINGULAR SUBJECT AND "DON'T" IS A PLURAL VERB THAT'S WHY IT'S INCORRECT

DON'T can be singular also: I/You DON'T like. DOES is the third person singular used with HE/SHE

Passed my demo after 7 tries! Yes, SEVEN! Don’t give up teachers‼️ Dito din aq mostly nanood to prepare myself & improve what needs to be improved. Nakakapanghina tlaga ng loob lalo na if uve been with ESL industry for so long. Practice‼️ Be confident‼️ Most importantly, PRAY for wisdom & presence of mind‼️ If it is God’s will, He will give it you🤍 Thanks teacha Karen! U r making a difference😊 God bless you!

[@misskayen.p3968]

I had my demo first, asking me why do we have to put ed to the verb while it is not yet happening or past tense, I got panic but I managed to explain the uses of tenses, but still not acceptable, Francis gave me another chance to retake, He is also praising me that I have the potential etc, but He noticed an medyo ninenerbyos talaga ako kaya sabi nya take it easy, He knows daw that I can do much better, and my second demo was I can say, PERFECT, no mistakes at all, the admin was very happy and told me that she will submit my demo to her supervisor and wait for the result, so I felt very confident an kahit papano mapag aaralan young demo ko kung sakali ndi talaga umubra I was expecting some feedback like, i need to be like this, i have to do that...mga ganon ba at least aware ako on my flaws,,,,because as in no mistake and I can see the face of the Admin that she was quite impressed and told me so much praises. naiiyak an nga ako habang nagsasalita sya hanggang pag end nang video, bigla lumabas FAIL, sobra akong nanghina, hindi ko alam kung bat ganon, I've waited yesterday from 4pm till 945 pm then nag retake ako kanina 9am nasalang ako mga 130 pm akala ko kahit papano may hustisya magaganap sa paghihintay ko.. sobra akong nanlumo, gusto kong sumigaw sa sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko, halos hindi ko pinagsasalita mga anak ko at wag mag ingay ng husto dahil masyado sila sensitive sa background, mababait mga anak ko kaya they followed me, kasi alam nila I need this job, kamamatay lang ng husband ko 5 mos ago at para sa kanila to, tapos.. bigla FAIL.. naalala ko when I had my system check yesterday sabi ni admin na sobrang bait at super chika sa akin, sobra pagod na daw sila at stress dahil sa dami ng applicant like today 200 daw nakaabang na for demo pero 10 lang need nila ipasa, hindi ko alam ano ibig sabihn nun ayoko pag isipan ng masama kasi nakakaunawa naman ako dahil talaga sa pangyayari sa china ,marami tayong nalugmok, pero naisip ko lang siguro nga since ndi naman nila kaya e - accomodate lahat para ipasa kahit pa sa tingin nila na may potential kaya kahit puro praises sabihin nila syo during the demo, eh after the video pag tapos na at sinabi nilang FAIL eh wala naman na tayo magagawa. I am not here to say anything against NC, mag aapply pa rin ako sa kanila after 3 month cguro, pero sobra lang talaga nanlumo ako. sobra mga teach..sobrang sakit sa pakiramdam yung feeling mo pinaglaruan yung damdamin mo. feeling ko lang naman yun dahil yun ang nakita ko sa pangyayari.teach Karen, I really admire you sana naging kasing swerte mo din ako na nakapasok sa NC. Hindi pa ako maka get over, sorry mga teach if nobela, just sharing my experience. However I still love NC kasi na review na naman ulit ako habang nag ppractice ako sa demo, sana next time na mag apply ako, mapansin na nila ako. Bye for now NC. See you next time! Keep safe everyone mga Teach.

[@misskayen.p3968]

sinabi ko na lang sa sarili ko na God has much more better plans than mine,ayoko e-insist pag hindi nya kaloob, madalas pag pinipilit natin ang isang bagay at hindi yun ang plano nya talagang hinmdi pa yun mangyayari.. pero, halos hindi ako makakain upp to now sa sobrang hidi maramdaman na pakiramdam. God is watching us, He knows our struggles, I simply Trust everything to HIm.

[@TeachaKaren]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Failure is never easy especially when your expectations were not set properly. It was as if they gave you the assurance that you passed, thus mas naging masakit nung nagfail ka. Every failure makes us strong. Your husband and your kids will always be proud of you. Let this downfall make you a better teacha. God bless!

[@JohnVencentMendoza]

I'm a fan of yours, Teacha Karen. I always watch your content! They are substantial and full of gist. Allow me to share this. This happened to me, I've been trapped by an evaluator and failed the demo. Evaluator named "Francis" trapped me in the demo lesson "Would you mind me/my closing the window?" I waited for hours in queue and when he entered he skipped many parts of the lesson and directly instructed that we go to the practice part. This practice is sentence making. Using the word borrow (asking for permission) he said "Would you mind me borrowing my pen?" then, I corrected him since the first thought that came to me was that, why would you borrow your own pen?, I told him that he could say "Would you mind me taking my pen? or would you mind me borrowing YOUR pen?", instead since that makes more sense. That's when he said "What if I borrow my own pen from him?", so, deep in thought I was thinking why would borrow your own pen? Then he said, I've asked you teacher if you'd still want to continue or postpone your demo, which he really did before we started. How could I say no, I've spent hours of waiting, and just with that, with his trapping, BORROWING HIS OWN PEN, I failed my final try. Well, that's life. Sometimes unjust, but isn't the end. I've landed to a better job. So, thanks to Francis for closing the window, allowing a better opportunity to come to me. Again, I just had this feeling that I needed to share this. I've watched the content, I've nothing against it. Actually, you've imparted knowledge to me today! So, thank you. Thank you so much Teacha Karen. ♥

[@TeachaKaren]

Honestly, admins are quite unpredictable sometimes. I just hope you were fairly evaluated though :( Based on how you explained yourself, you seem like a knowledgeable person in English, it was a loss for NC to fail you. Not all teachas can explain that well. I probably would have thought of the same answer. Though, if you will check with Cambridge, to borrow means to get or receive something from someone with the intention of giving it back after a period of time...so technically you can borrow your own property.... Like "Can I borrow my car?"

[@JohnVencentMendoza]

@@TeachaKaren Yup. Thanks for clearing this up to me Teacha! I admit I was really caught off guard. I've prepared though. I guess I've devoted ample of time to prepare at least. So I was really disappointed, well, I guess anybody would be. I lost the opportunity because I was refining the evaluator's sentence. Empirically, we would say "Would you mind me taking my pen? I'll give it back to you." in conventional manner, since I think, it wouldn't be misleading to say it that way, right? yet technically, he's correct. I just don't see any mistake on my end as well. It hurts that, right away, he turned me down. So thank you for hoping that I got fairly evaluated. If it's to be, it's up to me. It was also my choice to fail. There are things meant to be. And NC isn't for me, for now. I might try my luck again next time, when the influx of applicants has tranquilized. Definitely 6 mos. from now :D About the better opportunity, I've got handled at Chipan. I will be starting my journey at eigox as well. Wish me luck ☻ Thank you for noticing Teacha Karen! God bless you! Please keep posting informative contents like this. I love how you empathize with your viewers in your vlogs esp. during the flare-up of the double reduction policy 'til when you decided to quit Acadsoc. Like every word you said there, was pampering my heavy heart. Now, from the bottom of it. Thank you thank you thank you. You're the best! Know that I'll always support your vlogs until the end.

Hello Teach Karen, I would like to ask if during the demo/interview can we actually consult external sources like google, online dictionary etc? Will the evaluator be particular of your pace in speaking?

[@TeachaKaren]

Yes they will check your pacing. Getting answers from external resources should not take more than 20 seconds in my opinion. I usually start off by defining the word using my own words then I paste a Cambridge definition if I'm not that confident. Eitherway you have to type the definition/explanation on the chatbox. They're basically checking your multi-tasking skills.

The verb “closed” is used in this sentence because it is the past participle form of the verb “close”. When asking if someone minds a specific action, we often use the past participle to indicate the hypothetical or potential action. You are asking what would be the result? In this case, you are politely inquiring if the person would be bothered if you closed the window@@TeachaKaren

[@omowunmitella6831]

You are asking if the person would be bothered if you completed the action of closing the door. The focus is on the result or outcome (the door being closed).

Hi @TeachaKaren. I cant find chatbox on my demo.is it because no student is connected to me yet?

[@dianacaleon5226]

Can someone help me with this question? I took my demo this morning and failed it. i haven't even gone through the demo lesson proper. nasa title pa lang ako: "Why do you need natto?" Then the interviewer asked: Where is the subject in this sentence? I answered: YOU IS THE SUBJECT. Then followed up with DO NEED IS THE VERB. NATTO IS THE OBJECT. She said i was wrong. "Natto is the subject. Because subject refers to Noun". And right then and there, she failed me.. for retake. I was caught off-guard with the question, so I just agreed. But right after, I googled. And upon checking, it seems that my answer is correct. Can somebody confirm this please? Baka mas may tamang reason kayo. Also, kung mali si interviewer, is there a way to dispute the failing result? Nakakastress. Buong araw ko tong iniisip.

[@TeachaKaren]

[@TeachaKaren]

would you mind ME focuses on the DOER OF THE ACTION, would you mind MY focuses on the ACTION itself. would you mind IF I CLOSED THE DOOR, focuses on both the doer and the action.

[@haneybeemendoza3755]

@@TeachaKaren Thank you so much teacher!

[@omowunmitella6831]

Would you mind me closing the door?”: In this sentence, the gerund form of the verb “closing” is used (i.e., “closing the door”). It implies that you are asking if the person would be bothered by your act of closing the door. The focus is on the action itself (the process of closing the door). “Would you mind my closing the door?”: Here, the possessive pronoun “my” is used before the gerund form of the verb (i.e., “my closing the door”). It also implies that you are asking if the person would be bothered by your act of closing the door. The focus remains on the action itself. “Would you mind if I closed the door?”: In this sentence, the past participle form of the verb “closed” is used (i.e., “if I closed the door”). It implies that you are asking if the person would be bothered if you completed the action of closing the door. The focus is on the result or outcome (the door being closed).

"Would you mind my borrowing my pen?" it sounded incorrect so I said it is, BUT it isn't actually.

So to confirm, we can pull up dictionaries to answer the questions while being 'interviewed' in the demo class?
