The passage discusses how insects are becoming more common as a food source due to their environmental and nutritional benefits. Farming insects requires far fewer resources than livestock and can help address concerns over sustainability and rising global population. While the insect farming industry is growing, incorporating insects into diets is still a challenge for some due to cultural aversions. Experts believe that as insect-based foods become more widely available and people experience the taste, they will become more accepted over time, similar to once unfamiliar foods like sushi.

20. STAR METHOD
● The STAR method is a structured manner of responding to a
behavioral-based interview question by discussing the specific
situation, task, action, and result of the situation you are
describing. In other words, use the STAR method for those
prompts that ask you to provide a real-life example of how you
handled a certain kind of situation in the past (i.e., how
you behaved in the past).
● S - Situation
● T - Task
● A - Action
● R - Result

21. STAR Details
• Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your
example.
• Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
• Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
• Result: Share what outcomes your actions achieved.

22. When do you use this? Look for these clues….
Don’t worry—these questions are easy to recognize. They often have
telltale openings like:
• Tell me about a time when…
• What do you do when…
• Have you ever…
• Give me an example of…
• Describe a situation…

23. Example Questions
• Give me an example of a time you had a conflict with your
classmate.
• Tell me about a time you made a mistake in school.
• How do you handle pressure at work or school?
• Tell me about your proudest accomplishment.
• Describe a time you failed and how you dealt with it.
• Tell me about a time you went above and beyond.

24. Example Answer
● 1. Lay out the *situation or scene for the interviewer*
● Keep things concise and focus on what’s relevant to your story and
the interview question you’re answering.
● “The STAR method is meant to be simple,” Focus on just one or
two sentences for each letter of the acronym.”
● For example, imagine that the interviewer just said, “Tell me about
a time when you achieved a goal that you initially thought was out
of reach.”
Possible Answer
● “In my previous group project role, my group made the decision
to focus on increasing completed surveys for our project to make
it more substantial.

25. Example Answer
● 2. Highlight the *task.*
● You’re telling this story for a reason—because you had some sort of
important part in it. This is the part of your answer when you make
the interviewer understand exactly where you fit in.
● This is not the “action” portion of the response. However, this piece
is dedicated to giving the specifics of what your responsibilities
were in that situation, as well as any objective that was set for you,
before you dive into what you actually did.
Possible Answer
● “As a group member, my target was to increase the number of
surveys collected by at least 50% in just one month.”

26. Example Answer
● 3. Share how you took *action.*
● Now that you’ve given the interviewer a sense of what your role
was, it’s time to explain what you did. What steps did you take to
reach that goal or solve that problem?
● Resist the urge to give a vague or glossed-over answer like, “So I
worked hard on it…” or “I did some research…” – Give SPECIFICS
Possible Answer
● “I complied a list of all my social media accounts, email accounts,
and classmates list. I then contacted each one of them
individually and encouraged them to complete the survey. I
stressed the importance of the survey and how it will help my
project. I also followed up with anyone who didn’t complete the
survey after 1 week.

27. Example Answer
● 4. Discuss the *results.*
● Your time to shine and explain how YOU made a difference. This
highlights the result of your efforts. It’s the most important part.
● Remember, interviewers don’t only care about what you did—they
also want to know why it mattered. Numbers are always impactful.
Did you get great feedback on your presentation from your
teachers? What did people think?
Possible Answer
● “As a result of me contacting over 400 people on my social media
accounts and classmates, I was able to increase our completed
surveys from 140 to 400 in only ONE month—which exceeded our
goal by 20%.

42. INSECTS
• In the past decade, bugs have become a familiar sight on dinner tables. One
reason for this is they are a great source of protein. Another reason is that people
are concerned about the environment. Traditional livestock farming is detrimental
to the environment as it is generally unsustainable. Raising insects is much more
environmentally friendly. One kilogram of insect protein needs about 10 per cent
of the feed, water and land used to produce the same amount of beef. Experts
say farming insects is better for the environment than raising livestock. A final
reason we may have to eat insects is because of the rise in the world's
population. By 2050 this is expected to be 9.8 billion, up from the current 7.7
billion.

43. INSECTS
• The insect farming industry is growing quickly. There are hundreds of companies
worldwide creating meals made from bugs. Many supermarkets around the world
now stock food made from insects. There are vending machines in Tokyo, Japan
where you can purchase a can of insect snacks. The menu includes dried
tarantula and scorpions. However, not everyone is excited by the idea of insects
as food. An Israeli insect farmer, Dror Tamir, says there is a "yuck factor" to the
thought of eating insects. He said people will get used to the idea and will find
insects tasty. He said: "I am convinced it will soon be widely accepted, just like
eating raw fish in sushi was embraced."
