I wanted to spend a little bit more time today talking about the importance of work experience as you are considering in different management programs.

This will be very a lot school by school, so some schools actually will have a minimum number of years of required work experience you should enquire all schools you are interested in, and so what their recommendations are.

At Stanford specifically, We do not necessary look at certain number years of work experience, but what we are really looking for are, your leadership, for example, able to draft in your life.

And as a result, some people actually come to us a little bit earlier on in their careers. So most years, you might even have one or two students who come directly after university. They have got incredibly strong leadership, for examples, to draw from. Maybe it is from being involved students government, clubs or organisations or starting a non-profit organisation, or having involved in a family business growing up, so they are able to draw and refer from the experiences in the classroom.

"I little bit of time" should be at the first sentence. Now I can hear that I've missed some prepositions also.

Hello Simon, I have a doubt. I was doing the Listening part of Test 3 in Cambridge 13 Academic.

Answer #10 according to the Answer key is "café" and I wrote "cafe" without an accent mark.

Will the IELTS examiner consider my answer wrong in that case?

Thank you in advance.
