16. M: What was it like
growing up in New York's Bronx district? Was it safe?
W: To me it was safe. It was all I knew.
My mom would send me to the shop
and I would go and buy things
when I was about eight years old.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
17. M: Nice weather, isn't it?
Um, I've seen you around the office
but I don't think we've met.
I am Henry Smith. I work in the market research section.
W: Nice to meet you, Henry. I'm Helen Grant.
I am in the advertising section on the ninth floor.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
18. M: Ma'am I hear you have an apartment for rent.
Can I take a look at it?
W: Sure, you're welcome anytime for appointment.
But I have to tell you the building is close to a railway
with the noise you might as well save yourself a trip.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
Now you'll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Please have a seat, Mr. Saunders.
I received your resume last week and was very impressed.
M: Thank you.
W: We're a small financial company
treating mostly stocks and bonds.
May I ask why you are interested in working for us?
M: Your company has an impressive reputation.
And I've always wanted to work for a smaller company.
W: That's good to hear.
Would you mind telling me a little bit about your present job?
M: I'm currently working in a large, international company,
in charge of team of eight brokers.
We buy and sell stocks for major clients worldwide.
W: Why do you think
you're the right candidate for this position?
M: As a head broker,
I have a lot of experience in the stock market.
I deal with clients on a daily basis
and I enjoy working with people.
W: Well, you might just be the person we are looking for.
Do you have any questions?
M: Uh, uh. If I were hired,
how many accounts would I be handling?
W: You would be working with two other head brokers.
In other words,
you'd be handling about a third of our clients.
M: And who would I report to?
W: Directly to me.
M: I see. What kind of benefits package do you offer?
W: Two weeks of paid vacation in your first year of employment.
You'll also be entitled to medical and dental insurance.
But this is something you should discuss
with our personel department.
Do you have any other questions?
M: No, not at the moment.
W: Well, I'll have to discuss your application with my colleagues
and we'll get back to you early next week.
M: Okay, thanks. It's been nice meeting you.
W: Nice meeting you, too.
And thanks for coming in today.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What's the purpose of Mr. Saunders visit?
20. What is Mr. Saunders current job?
21. What can we conclude from the conversation?
Conversation Two
M: Hey Karen, you're not really reading it, are you?
W: Pardon?
M: The book, you haven't turned a page in the last 10 minutes.
W: No, Jim. I suppose I haven't.
I need to get through it, but I keep drifting away.
M: So, it doesn't really hold your interest?
W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it to be honest,
but I have to read it for a seminar.
I am at the university.
M: It's a labor of labor than, rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say. I don't like the author Dickens at all really.
I am starting to like the whole course less and less.
M: It's not just the book, it's the course as well?
W: Yeah, in a way.
But though the course itself really isn't that bad.
A lot of it is pretty good, in fact.
And the lecturers are fine.
It's me I suppose.
You see, I wanted to do Philosophy rather than English.
But my parents talked me out of it.
M: So the course is okay, as such.
It's just that had it been up to you,
you would have chosen a different one.
W: Oh, they have my best interest at heart,
of course, my parents.
They always do, don't they?
They believe my job prospects
would have been pretty limited with my degree in philosophy.
Plus, they give me a really generous allowance,
but I'm beginning to feel I am wasting my time and their money.
They would be so disappointed, though if I told them I was quiting.
