After the interview, Felix Chau makes a note in the English diary he keeps in relation to his job search. He uses this diary to summarise and reflect on the experience while it is still fresh in his mind, and he makes a point of referring to these records when he has another interview in prospect.

You might consider doing the same.

This is his summary of the interview you have just been studying . Unfortunately Felix's written English is much less secure than his fluent spoken English, and there are a number of places where he is uncertain what he should write. Assist him by making a decision at each of the sticking points (there are 20 in all) and then check your suggestions against the corrected version which he produced with help from a native speaker.

You will find that printed below.

Here is the draft diary entry :
