a great fit for (a job)

This phrase is often used when talking about open positions and job applicants. If you think that a person is "a great fit" for a job, it means that you think they can do the job well.

You might get a question like this in a job interview or on an application form:

Why would you be a good fit for this position?

If the company rejects you, they might write this in an e-mail to you:

Unfortunately, we don't feel that you'd be a good fit at this time.

You can also talk about it the other way: a job can be a "great fit" for a person:

I think this job would be a great fit for you.

I was a middle school teacher for a few years, but it wasn't really a good fit for me.

I think (clause)

In spoken English, you can say "I think ___" before the idea that you're thinking.

I think I'm finished.

I think she's coming.

In formal writing or when you're speaking carefully, you should use "I think that ___" instead:

I think that we need to do a lot more testing before we release it to the public.

an ideal (something)

The word "ideal" means "perfect". You use this word to talk about something that is the best that you can imagine. Here are some examples of phrases that use "ideal":

• the ideal man
• my ideal job
• in an ideal world
