K: OK, back to the question.
C: All righty. What is the man's biggest flaw?
All: What do you think, everybody?

◆ 自分のことを……だと表現します
C: Sounds good to me. Let's use "describes" here. And because he is talking about his qualities, let's add "himself as." So, "describe himself as 何々."
K: Oh, okay.
C: And we can follow that with his qualities, people person, team player.
◆ また、……だと言います
J: Right. So, there's a couple of ways that we can say this. The first one would be "He also says that 何々." And we can also, also put the "also" at the very beginning. So, it would be, "Also,(comma) he says that 何々."
J: I know they did.
C: Nice job.
J: A little difficult, but way to go!
K: Yay!

C: Indeed.
K: Does he have flaws?
J: Well, he says his biggest flaw is he can be a little too critical.
K: Why is that?
C: Uh... Because he's result-oriented.
K: Uh-huh. Do you think he'll get the job?
J: Well, I think you will 1,000% (thousand percent). Because he is result-oriented, you know, you'd want him on your team. Yes.
K: All right.
