Let’s TalkScriptVoice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company. T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundredpeople work at the company's call centre in Greenock, which was set up onlyfive years ago; 760 of them are employed in handling customer calls and theyare managed by 70 team managers and 10 operations managers. In alarge-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and training is theresponsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department. Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role oftraining. The theory behind is, these are the people who are doing the job, arein the best place to train that job to other people.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, anopportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported(6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people(10) realisticVI.

And my primary responsibilitieswere to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1.

Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how tohandle them properly.Why should we choose you? T o this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how”to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should wechoose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans. A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow. A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptV oice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company.T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundred people work at thecompany's call centre in Greenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of them areemployed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team managers and 10operations managers. In a large-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and trainingis the responsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department.Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role of training. The theory behind is,these are the people who are doing the job, are in the best place to train that job to otherpeople.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, an opportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported (6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people (10) realistic VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy. I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here.M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you. M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented. W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models.However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with lessemphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes s omething positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should we choose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are your weaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

The reason for this is that they both usually have a job. Most of the young married people have to work in order to plan for their future years. For example, some people might plan for a comfortable home, some others may plan for a family and their children’s education, and still some others may generally want to save for a better living.Since a woman helps financially, a man feels that he should help his wife in the home. He may help her with the cleaning by lifting heavy furniture. Also, he may often wash and dry the dinner dishes, because his wife has to take care of the children. This usually surprises people of other cultures, because they consider it beneath the dignity of a man to help his wife, or in other words, a man shouldn’t do a woman’s job. In American life, however, this is just another way of showing respect that men and women have for each other.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Why do young American couples share their duties both inside and outside the home?27. What is the reason why a man feels the necessity to help his wife with housework?28. What’s the Americans’ opinion of men’s sharing women’s duties at home?Passage TwoDo you have a tough math test coming up? Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test. You might come up with a higher score. Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment. They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test. They were surprised to find that the students’scores jumped 8 to 9 points. The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain; similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem. However, the scientists warn before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test, you should remember that brain exciting effects last only 10 or 15 minutes. Would rock music work as well as the piano music did? No, the scientists say. In fact, the less complex music might even interfere with the brains reasoning ability.Questions 29to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What is this passage mainly about?30. Why can classical music play a positive role in problem solving?31. What is one of the findings of the research?Passage ThreeAn elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because it had wrongly accused her of stealing a Christmas card. Ms. Doss white, 72 years old, is claiming $ 3000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed through the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in hershopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said. “This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he coul d look in it.” She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shoppers for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What does the story tell us about the old woman?33. What was said to have been stolen?34.
