　　I: I'm Edward Snow, the manager of Human Resource Department. May I ask your name?

　　G: My name is Lifen Gu. How do you do, Mr. Snow?

　　I: I'm glad to meet you, Miss Gu. Please take a seat.

　　G: Thank you, sir.

　　I: May I ask why you are interested in working at this company?

　　G: I want to work in a foreign company.

　　I: Is that the only reason?

　　G: Well, I'd like to have experience in speaking English.

　　I: I see. We can't teach you English here, However. How is your English ability?

　　G: Not bad.

　　I: Have you taken English conversation lessons?

　　G: No. But I studies English in junior middle school and vocatoinal high school.

　　I: Did you have any foreign teachers?

　　G: No, I didn't.

　　I: Have you had any office experience?

　　G: A little. Last summer I had a full-time¹ job in a privately-owned enterprise².

　　I: What did you do there?

　　G: I did only simple jobs, such as serving tea, tidying up the office, a little typing on the computer, and so on.

　　I: How fast can you type?

　　G: I can type 65 words per minute.

　　I: Have you learned³ English filing?

　　G: Pardon. I didn't understand you.

　　I: Can you file in English?

　　G: I don't know, but I'd be glad to learn.

　　I: I see. Do you think you could handle telephone calls in English?

　　G: If it is ordinary conversation, I think I would understand.

　　I: In this job you would be expected to answer the phone and sometimes take messages. The job involves a lot of typing and filing. Sometimes you'd have to make photo-stated copies and send facsimiles to our head office in England. Incidentally⁴, can you operate a photostat and a fax machine?

　　G: Yes, I can.

　　I: Where did you learn to operate these machines?

　　G: I learned to operate them in my father's office.

　　I: What school did you graduate from?

　　G: I graduated from Nanjing No. 2 Vocational⁵ High School.

　　I: Do you have any references⁶?

　　G: You can call my teacher.

　　I: How long do you intend to work here, Miss Gu?

　　G: I'll probably work until I get married but I'd like to take some time off to travel before settling down.

　　I: We prefer our girls to stay for several years at least. Do you have any questions?

　　G: Are there any social activities for the staff members?

　　I: No, I'm afraid not. Working here is strictly⁷ a business proposition⁸. We expect our employees to work hard and they are paid well for it. We give generous bonuses, too. Would you be able to work every Saturday?

　　G: I was hoping to find a job where I wouldn't have to work on Saturdays.

　　I: I see. Well, frankly⁹ speaking, I think we need someone with a littel more experience to handle this job. I'm afraid you might have some difficulty with the telephone calls in English. I suggest you learn English conversation well before you try working in a foreign company.

　　G: I see. Thank you for talking with me.

　　I: Thank you, Miss Gu, for your interest in our company. Good luck to you.

　　G: Thank you, Mr. Snow.
