If you prepare thoroughly and do a few practice runs, you can boost your confidence and sell your product or service to the best of your ability.1. Research your prospect’s company as well as your own. Know everything you can about the company you’re pitching to so you can tailor your sales presentation to fit its needs.2. Design a presentation that best fits the needs of your prospective client. For example, if you’re selling a product, bring a sample or prototype along with you. If your product or service is very detailed, use charts, pictures and handouts to help emphasize your point.3. Start your presentation by giving a brief company history. It’s better if this isn’t too detailed because businesspeople often have limited time to listen to sales pitches. Be engaging to hold your client’s attention.4. Tell the client how your product fits his company’s needs. Identify several ways that your product can boost profits for his company. Be specific and focus on what the company values; for example, if the client's main goal is to improve customer service, don’t just tell the representative how your service can increase his bottom line.5. Make a comparison between your product and others that are available. Bydirectly addressing the competition, you answer some questions the client may not feel comfortable asking.6. Explain your company’s process for delivering the product, turnaround time, customization, invoicing and cost. Give brief details about these items to round out your business presentation.7. Answer questions the customer has. It’s best to prepare responses to objections and hard questions before you start your presentation so you can answer each question thoroughly. If you don’t know an answer, tell the client you’ll find out and get back to him promptly.8. Close your presentation by thanking your prospect and inviting her to call or email you at her convenience.Don’t be pushy but let her know that you’re ready to get started when she is.Keys:1) Research your prospect’s company as well as your own.2) Design a presentation that best fits the needs of your prospective client.3) Start your presentation by giving a brief company history.4) tell the client how your product fits his company’s needs.5) Make a comparison between your product and others that are available.6) Explain your company’s process for delivering the product, turnaroun d time,customization, invoicing and cost.7) Answer questions the customer has.8) Close your presentation by thanking your prospect and inviting her to call or email you at her convenience.3 Listen to a product presentation and choose the best answer to the questions. Script:Today I’d like to present our new convertible the “Open Sky”. We are extremely proud to present this product to you. The “Open Sky” has been developed by a team of aerodynamic experts over the past three years. It has been tested and driven for more than 200,000 hours on the open road.Before we begin, I’d like to briefly talk about our company’s history with the convertible. The convertible was introduced in 1922 and was an immediate success in Southern Europe. In 1956 our first convertible, named “Sole”, was manufactured. Another great success was in 1972 when the “Vento” was manufactured. The “Vento” was sold for a record 15 years! Then in 1986 the 'Roadster' was introduced and was a great success.As you can see, we have had over 45 years of experience building extremely popular convertibles. The “Open Sky” represents our most advanced design to date. More than 20,000 “Open Sky” cars have been ordered in the first three months. The “Open Sky” has been designed with young p eople in mind. The “Open Sky” has also been designed for safety. Four-Wheel Drive, ABS and airbags are standard on all models. GPS has also been included on the deluxe model for navigation assistance.The perfect combination of elegance and safety, the “Open Sky” will certainly be our most popular convertible to date!Keys:1) B 2) C 3) C 4) C 5) AEpisode 4 Small Talks3 Listen to some small talks and fill in the summary for each conversationbased on your understanding.Conversation 1Script:James: Hello, are you Muriel Douglas?It’s nice to meet you at long last.It’s nice tIt’s nice to meet you at long last.James: Y es, you too.

P59Speaker 1(来自中国的):当我第一次来到美国,一切都很奇怪。
在中国,人们通常做的事不如此公开表达他们的意见。
我们喜欢说话,但我们更保留自己的意见。
我发现美国人很直言不讳,用来表达自己。
起初我感到不足,我很害怕打开我的嘴!我很惊讶的学生挑战他们的教授以及员工认为他们的老板。
首先在我看来像一个不尊重上级,但现在我知道这是正常的。
我还发现幽默奇怪的一开始,我永远理解不了的笑话。
但是我适应,甚至开始嘲笑一些笑话。
发言人2(英国):当你在沙特阿拉伯,是非常重要的遵守所有的社会和衣服约定。
我总是常常穿一件长袖衬衫和夹克——即使在令人窒息的热。
如果我沙特主机删除他的鞋子进入一个建筑,然后我必须做同样的事情。
我必须记住不会点,在任何情况下用左手吃饭。
另一件我必须记住不是坐我的鞋的唯一或暴露我的脚。
发言人3(日本):现在我习惯了巴西做生意的方式,但它需要花费一些时间。
在日本,我们想提前计划,设置预约提前几周对我们来说并不是一个问题。
然而,我们所做的发现奇怪的是巴西人的方式触摸你的手臂或背面,跟你说话。
我们日本人比这更加正式和大量的身体接触在公共场合不是我们的风格。
此外,巴西人更放松,他们往往花十五分钟左右开始一个会议前闲聊。
我觉得这有点浪费时间,但是我们必须遵守他们的风俗。
我发现它令人沮丧的,但你知道,它有助于了解人们通常和会议然后运行更平稳。
发言人4(来自美国):我发现许多法国人对着装很认真,所以我不得不做出一点努力,因为我认为我们美国人更随意。
有时我觉得这有点令人窒息,因为我喜欢我的夹克,卷起袖子当正事。
法国人不这样做,所以我必须保持我的夹克在会议。
我发现有点恼人的是法国人对时间的态度。
与许多美国人相比,他们对自己的计时相当因果所以我不要包太多一天。
对我来说,最大的挑战之一是提高我的法语。
他们肯定像你试图讲的语言,即使你不能用法语进行整个会议。
发言人5(阿联酋):我发现澳大利亚社会比阿拉伯社会更多的因果。

英语中级听力lesson5原文文本Lesson 5Herbert Wilson and his wife went to the Isle of Wight for their summer holiday. But they were by no means pleased with their hotel. As soon as they returned home, Herbert decided to write to the Manager of Happytours. Herbert: Can you spare a moment, dear? I want you to listen to this letter. Margaret: Go ahead, then. Herbert: Dear Sir, my wife and I arrived home last night after a holiday arranged by your firm, in Jersey. We stayed at the hotel described in your brochure as a comfortable, medium sized hotel, with a magnificent view of the sea, offering courteous, old fashioned service and excellent food, served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Margaret: Yes, that's what the brochure said. Herbert: In fact the hotel is situated at least half a mile from the sea. Our room overlooked a car park ... Margaret: Through the gates of which motor vehicles were constantly arriving or departing. Herbert: Yes, that's good. The food was strictly beef burgers and chips or fish and chips. Wine was available, but at exorbitant prices, and as for the courteous, old fashioned service, the majority of the staff were foreign and virtually incapable of speaking or understanding the English language. Margaret: Yes, that's quite true. Herbert: In addition to this, we were most unhappy with the arrangements for our journey home. We were instructed to catch the 11:00 am ferry ... Margaret: Wasn't it 12:00? Herbert: No, 11:00 ... but this was apparently delayed and we did not get away till 6 o'clock in the evening. Now that our holiday is over, it seems fairly pointless writing this letter, but I should like you to know that we were most disappointed with the hotel andtravel arrangements and shall certainly not be booking any future holidays through Happytours. Yours faithfully, Herbert Wilson. Margaret: Yes dear, that's a very good letter.Miss Bush is talking to a travel agent in London. Travel Agent: Good morning. Can I help you? Miss Bush: Hello. Er, my name's Miss Bush and I'm intending to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks. Travel Agent: I see. Er, do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare. Miss Bush: Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare? Travel Agent: Yes, you're allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare. Miss Bush: Oh, only one. Travel Agent: Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers. Miss Bush: Oh that's much better. Yes. You see, the thing is that I've got two weeks' holiday after the conference and I've never been out that way before at all to Australia or the Far East, and I, I wanted to go, you know, shopping or seeing Hong Kong or India or somewhere round there. Travel Agent: Yes. Uhum. Miss Bush: Um, where exactly can I go? Travel Agent: Well, lots of places. There's Singapore or um, Teheran, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choice you know. Miss Bush: Mm. Well, it sounds marvellous. Um, how much would that cost? How much is the full fareTravel Agent: The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's ￡1204. Miss Bush: (laughs) Yes, a thousand two hundred and four. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know, I've never been. Travel Agent: Mm. Miss Bush: The thing is, actually that, um, I'm absolutely terrified of flying. I've never done it before. Travel Agent: Oh dear. Uhum Miss Bush: And er, um, I'm hoping that I can persuade my two friends, who are also going to the conference, to stop over with me on the way back. Travel Agent:Yes, that would be a good idea, yes. Miss Bush: Mm, yes. By the way, one of them's in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stop over there on my way to Sydney? Travel Agent: Yes of course. There are plenty of flights to Cairo and, and then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney. And then you can stay, there, in Cairo, for as long as you like. Miss Bush: Oh that's great? Now, the thing is, I think I'd better go and persuade Mr. Adams that, you know, he'd like to stop with me in Cairo ... Travel Agent: I see. Miss Bush: ... go and discuss it with him and then come back to you in a day or two, if that's all right. Travel Agent: Yes. Certainly. Of course, madam. Miss Bush: Oh, thank you very much. OK. Goodbye. Travel Agent: Thank you. Goodbye.Gillian felt slightly uneasy as the porter unlocked the gates and waved her through. St Alfred's Hospital was not an ordinary mental institution. It was the most exclusive institution of its type in the country. You had to be not only mentally ill, but also extremely wealthy to be accepted as a patient. She parked her car outside the main entrance of the imposing eighteenth century building. She paused on the steps to look at the superb ornamental gardens and surrounding parkland. An old man in a white panama hat was watering the flowerbed beside the steps. He smiled at her. Old man: Good afternoon, miss. A lovely day, isn't it? Gillian: Yes, it certainly is. Old man: Are you a new patient? Gillian: Oh, I'm not a patient. I'm just here to do some research. Old man: Will you be staying long? Gillian: I really don't know. I wonder if you could direct me to Dr. Carmichael's office? Old man: Certainly, miss. Just go through the main door, turn left, walk down to the end of the corridor, and it's the last door on the right. Gillian: Thank you very much indeed. ? ? Dr. Carmichael was waiting for her. He had been looking forward to meeting his newresearch assistant. He himself had always been interested in the special problems of long stay patients. Dr. Carmichael was very proud of his hospital and she was impressed by the relaxed and informal atmosphere. She spent the mornings interviewing patients, and the afternoons writing up the results of her research in the gardens. Some of the patients were withdrawn and depressed, some seemed almost normal. Only one or two had to be kept locked up. She found it hard to believe that all of them had been thought too dangerous to live in normal society. She often saw the old man in the panama hat. He spent most of his time working in the gardens, but he always stopped to speak to her. She found out that his name was Maurice Featherstone. He was a gentle and mild-mannered old fellow, with clear, blue, honest eyes, white hair and a pinkish complexion. He always looked pleased with life. She became particularly curious about him, but Dr. Carmichael had never asked her to interview him, and she wondered why. One night, at dinner, she asked about Mr. Featherstone. Dr. Carmichael: Ah, yes, Maurice. Nice old chap. He's been here longer than anybody. Gillian: What's wrong with him? Dr. Carmichael: Nothing. His family put him here thirty-five years ago. They never come to visit him, but the bills are always paid on time. Gillian: But what had he done? Dr. Carmichael: I'll show you his file. It seems that he burnt down his school when he was seventeen. His family tried to keep the incident quiet. Over the next few years there were a number of mysterious fires in his neighbourhood, but the family did nothing until he tried to set fire to the family mansion. He was in here the next day. Maurice never protested. Gillian: And that was thirty-five years ago! Dr. Carmichael: I'm afraid so. If I'd had my way, I'd have lethim out years ago. Gillian: But he can't still be dangerous! Dr. Carmichael: No. He's had plenty of opportunities. We even let him smoke. If he'd wanted to start a fire, he could have done it at any time. ? ? Gillian was shocked by the story. She became determined to do something about it. She wrote letters to Maurice's family, but never received a reply. He had never been officially certified as insane, and legally, he could leave at any time. Dr. Carmichael was easily persuaded to let her talk to Maurice. Gillian: Maurice, have you ever thought about leaving this place? Maurice: No, miss. I'm very happy here. This is my home. And anyway, I've got nowhere to go. Gillian: But wouldn't you like to go into the village sometimes ... to walk around, to buy your own tobacco? Maurice: I've never thought about it, miss.I suppose it would be nice. But I wouldn't want to stay away for long. I've spent twenty years working on this garden. I know every flower and tree. What would happen to them if I weren't here? ? ? Gillian realized that it would be unkind to make him leave the hospital. However, she found out that the next Saturday was his birthday. She arranged with the staff to give him a party. They wanted it to be a surprise and Dr. Carmichael agreed to let him go out for the afternoon. There was a flower show in the village. Maurice left at two o'clock. He seemed quite excited. They expected him to return about four o'clock. The cook had made a birthday cake and the staff had decorated the lounge. ? ? Gillian was standing in the window when she saw him. He was early. He was walking up the drive towards the house, whistling cheerfully. Behind him, above the trees, several thick black columns of smoke werebeginning to rise slowly into the clear blue sky.The student, puzzled about a particular point, decides to aska question. As so often happens when under pressure, he tends to concentrate most of his attention on the subject matter and he pays practically no attention to the language. Consequently, (pause) he fails to employ the correct question form. 2. However, even though the student does employ an appropriate question form, (pause) difficulties may still arise. 3. The basic difficulty may, in fact, be one of several different types. It may lie in the student's limited aural perception, in other words, (pause) the student may not have clearly heard what was said. 4. Learners of English have, for example, said to me such things as "See me here tomorrow" or "Explain this". Fortunately, as I deal with non-native speakers and as I understand their language problems, I interpret this as inadequacy in the language rather than rudeness. Other teachers, however, (pause) may feel angry at receiving such orders. 5. Today I'm going to consider, very briefly, a problem concerned with the competition for land use, that i... that is (pause) whether crops should be used to produce food or to ... should be used to produce fuel. 6. A particularly interesting possibility for many developing countries has been the conversion of plant material to alcohol. Th... this is interesting because in many developing countries there is a large agricultural sector, and at the same time (pause) a small industrial sector.The School Holidays Are Too Long ? ? Today the children of this country have at last returned to work. After two months' holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays—that's all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she's lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don't need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finishearlier than anyone else. ? ? In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier. ? ? This isn't just a national problem either—it's worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern's the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?。

Unit 5 听力原文Part IBMan: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I knowI got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then —but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. CInterviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one.Interviewer: and what is your profession?Sergio: I’m an accountant.Interviewer: Are you married?Sergio: Yes, I’m married.Interviewer: Does your wife work?Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher.Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for? Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan.Interviewer: How long did you work there?Sergio: Um, for fourteen years.Interviewer: How did you lose your job?Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed?Sergio: Um, for about 6 months.Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days?Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply.Interviewer: Any luck so far?Sergio:Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people?Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology.Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do?Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information.Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency?Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books. Interviewer: So how much time do you spend looking for a job?Sergio: Oh, about ten, fifteen hours per week. The rest of time I do housework and other things.Interviewer: Are you optimistic?Sergio: Yes. But I really don’t want to leave Milan.Interviewer: I see.

What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel.Interviewer: What, as a waitress?Christine: No. I’ve been helping in the kitchen most of the time — washing and peeling vegetables, preparing breakfast trays, washing up — that sort of thing.Interviewer: And have you been enjoying it? Or has it been rather boring? Christine: No, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve found it quite interesting here, in fact. Not so much the work itself, but the people I’ve got to know and the friends I’ve made, and I’ve managed to do lots of things in my spare time too. It’s a seaside town, so there’s been quite a lot going on in the evenings — you know, dancing, bowling, cinemas, and so on — and on myafternoons off I’ve been doing quite a bit of sunbathing and swimming.

I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s the one who’s been making money this summer.Interviewer: Has he been working here in Brighton too?Kevin:No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for a travel firm.

I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it is to be work as the killing person in an abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it: to work as the killing person in an abattoir.) I think that would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory whyI couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine how people actually do it. I metsomebody once who erm was one of the people that went into erm er a chicken battery and they’d spend all night they were only working night shift and just kill chickens and and I just couldn’t comprehend how they managed to do that and how they stayed sane. That would be the worst thing. I think it’d be torture in more ways than one...My Idea of Heaven:1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are paid a lot of money and you could travel to different countries —someone likea television reporter or an archaeologist or an anthropologist. I mean thoseare the exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job where I can travel and see different countries and have time to actually stay in those countries and learn a little about those countries and visit exciting places.2nd speaker:What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world would be to play for the New York Mets. You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat that... third baseman for the New Youk Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball team... best baseball team in the world.3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like to be a photographer, erm because it would give me an opportunity to work with people but at the same time be independent still and that’s the thing that I always need. I need to be independent, be able to work on my own and be amongst other people, very much like you, I think, that I have to have other contact but like to get on with wha... with my own thing.Part Ⅳ1st speaker: …er …well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at 8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand. Um…I think whatI like about it is I like meeting…meeting people, or rather dealing with people,because we’re really stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we used to have microphones and used them to speak to people, but they decided it was too impersonal so they changed it back. Um...you know, I like dealing with people like I said, it’s surprising, you know how varied the work is really. Well,a lot of it is routine, of course, but there’s still something unexpected everyday. You never know who’s going to walk in and come up to your... er ... position.Er... yeah, I do like handling money and I like the responsibility and the feeling that the customers trust you because you are dealing with their money and their livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the way people can be rude or angry about little things that aren’t my fault. It’s usually because they’ve made a mistake themselves and they aren’t prepared to admit it. I mean it’s up to them to check if they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if they write it, isn’t it really?2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting with clients, trying to find out exactly what they want or I try to persuade them that our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re very rarely givena free hand by clients. A lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent on research.You see, we have to do all the viewing and ...and the readership figures. We do our own surveys to find out what a cross-section of people think. Of course it’s not just what they think. I mean, people can say "Yes, that’s great.I...I found it really amusing and so on", but what counts is: Does it sell thegoods? Now, if we don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I enjoy most is really the creative side. Now, ideas, you know, they come to you everywhere at the most unexpected times. In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me when I was in the bath and I just jumped straight out, I got on the phone to the client. You know, I was... usually we...we have what we call brainstorming sessions in the office, so the best ideas are usually the result of teamwork. That’s what makes a good agency-a team of individuals who can work both alone and together. It takes a special sort of person. Now, the biggest drawback of the work is that you stand or fall by results. If your ideas are drying up of if you make an expensive mistake, then you get the sack. There’s always that hanging over you —it’s always worrying.Part VDavid:Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest. The best in the Southwest from music along to the minute news. Sue is here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David:And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a new job, this could be a spot for you. So let’s have a look and see what we’ve got today. How about a hairdresser? You must be experienced for this job and the pay will be agreed. So that will depend on experience.

What have you got?Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant. So it’s very useful to have experience in large scale cooking.The age is around 25 or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to 6:30. David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook. Now how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? There is no age restrictions on this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong, any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen on gardening, this could be a great job. The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5. Sunday you have to work once a month. But the bonus is on Monday. The garden centre’s closed. Now the third work you would be doing is a general assistant in a garden centre. Potting, watering, things like that. So if you’ve got green fingers, how about applying for that pay 1 pound 70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got?Sue:Right, David. From outdoors to indoors, we’ve got a short-hand typist job here.That’s in an office. And this job may suit a woman with school-age children.Because the hours are only 15 hours a week. The age is twenty to fortyish and the pay depends on the age. It’s a small friendly office, but there is experience of course. The accuracy is more important than the experience. So they go. That’s a nice short-hand typist job in an office.David: Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says: requires no experience at all but training will be given on the job. And pay is 67 pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s a full time job, but the big thing is you don’t need any experience. So if you’re just leaving school, and fancy working in the supermarket, try that. You get one day off during a week and you must work one late evening to 9:30 . OK, that’s a shop assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.。

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I c an’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers.

I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years.

And some people are really unhappy about such buying.Man: Tha t’s right. One source of unhappiness for people is feeling out of control of their spending. Woman: Do you have any suggestions?Man: Well, I’ll ____________________________________________________in stores or supermarkets. First of all, make a list, and stick to it. With a shopping list, you know exactly what you need and avoid buying those you don’t need.Woman: OK. _______________________________________________________.Man: _________________________________________________. Before going out,figure out how much money you need based on your shopping list. To stop yourself buying unnecessary things, do not bring too much money.Woman: Hmm, that will definitely work for me.

In both situations, you focus more on finishing shopping quickly rather than on thinking carefully whether you need to buy an item or not.Woman: Fair enough.

Jeremy, could you give me an exampleof how conflict was handled badly?Jeremy: Yes, I can. The example I’m thinking about is of two managers in a team, erm, who were constantly arguing with each other. The rest of the team avoided the problemand eventually things got ugly and there was a huge fight with lots of things said thatshouldn’t have been said, and the reason the conflict was badly managed was thateverybody avoided the problem.Everybody tried to make everybody feel better rather than actually saying look, wehave an issue here. Let’s sit down and find a way out.Interviewer: Could you give me an example of how conflict was handled well?Jeremy: Yes. I can use my own example. One of my colleagues and I had certain problems with each other. She had a way of working that I wasn’t comfortable with and once we hada major disagreement and both sides got angry.

We decided that the two of u needed a real talk and when we did start talkingthings out, we understood each other’s problems, and then we worked out a waytogether quickly.There Might Be Some Issues (P62)Gerry: So, Sally, I sense there might be some issues with work that you are not 100 percent satisfied with.

We help each other a lot.Owen: And you, Henry?Henry: Well, as you’d expect working in the hospital. We have to stick to the rules carefully because people’s health is very important in our job.Owen: And Sally, what’s it like working for a software company?Sally: Well, it really suits me, you know, I nearly always turn up at work wearing jeans and T-shirt, and everyone talks to everyone else in a really relaxed way. What about you, Owen? Owen: My company, as you know, is a consumer products company. Our pay is dependent on how much profit we bring into the company. All that matters is the performance in comparison with others. Some may say there’s too much competition, but for me, that’s business.Why Bother to Change ?

It turns out that our people are working hard, but they are not happy.Woman: Your company does have a reputation as a terrible place to work.

I met one of our managers recently.He told me, a meeting had been scheduled on the day one of his employees was getting married. He said, “I told her she needed to be at the meeting and that the meeting was early enough for her to get to her wedding on time.”Woman: That certainly sounds unreasonable to the employee.Man: Look, I’m not proud of this story, but it’s how we do things here in the company. Woman: Then why do you want to change the culture?Man: Because it won’t go far. Eventually we’ll lose our best people. No one will want to work here. I wouldn’t want to work her either.

发言人3(日本):现在我习惯了巴西做生意的方式,但它需要花费一些时间。
在日本,我们想提前计划,设置预约提前几周
对我们来说并不是一个问题。
然而,我们所做的发现奇怪的是巴西人的方式触摸你的手臂或背面,跟你说话。
我们日本人比这更加正式和大量的身体接触在公共场合不是我们的风格。
此外,巴西人更放松,他们往往花十五分钟左右开始一个会议前闲聊。
我觉得这有点浪费时间,但是我们必须遵守他们的风俗。
我发现它令人沮丧的,但你知道,它有助于了解人们通常和会议然后运行更平稳。
发言人4(来自美国):我发现许多法国人对着装很认真,所以我不得不做出一点努力,因为我认为我们美国人更随意。
有时我觉得这有点令人窒息,因为我喜欢我的夹克,卷起袖子当正事。

我发现有点恼人的是法国人对时间的态度。
与许多美国人相比,他们对自己的计时相当因果所以我不要包太多一天。
对我来说,最大的挑战之一是提高我的法语。
他们肯定像你试图讲的语言,即使你不能用法语进行整个会议。

人们穿着很休闲的方式甚至在工作场所。
P60Dave:我曾经认为是伟大的工作在一个开放的工作环境and-don得不到我wrong-there很多积极方面这种工作环境。
我发现很多刺激和动力自由交流各种想法和听到的所有有趣的想法在白天。
参与决策的挑战并保持你的脚趾。

玛西娅:当我去面试我的目前的工作,我完全被总经理的方法。
我们是一群十5职位候选人面试。
他们把我们所有人一起在一个房间里,然后当医学博士走了进来,他有一个足球在他的手臂。

公司的企业文化我很头疼
多。
我知道它的类型系统我在那里长大
那些高层的控制,所有的一切
决策。
但是,我已经长大,我觉得
一个专业的我应该有机会给一些输入
决策,即使它只是给我反馈
正在发生的事情。
我想要更多的说,我希望不是所有
权威手中的只是少数。
P62Marcus:如果我有选择,我想我会选择在家工作。
我在一个高科技公司工作,有一些
在这个月当我的压力很大
最后期限,然后还有其他的时候,我只是坐着
很少去做。
但我有来消费
每天八小时在办公室不考虑工作量。
如果我在家工作,我能平衡我的工作时间与工作量相匹配。
当然,可能会有一些并发症在家工作,我的意思是,强大的和可靠的网络连接,保证在办公室,但可能更不确定的在家里。
波拉:我在人力资源和工作,当然,我的工作是办公室。
但我想选择做一些在家工作。
我有两个年幼的孩子,它会是有帮助的,如果我能在家工作有时候,特别是当他们在家里。
在家工作的另一个优点是,我可能,我花在路上的时间消除的高峰期。
另一方面,有明确的优势在办公室工作。
我有访问所有我需要的资源,当然,面对面的会晤非常重要在我的工作。
杰克:我叫杰克,我是一个经理在一家大型软件公司,我能看到的优点和缺点
让人们在家工作。
公司肯定会省钱如果某些员工在家工作。
我们会节省办公空间、能源、安全和清洁。
我们可以安排一些空间当我们需要聚在一起开会。
然而,我也有一些保留意见。
例如,它很难监测和控制人们的工作输出,当然,员工可以有问题保持网络正常运行。
我认为我们还有一些路要走,我们可以让人们在家操作,但我愿意尝试。
