以下是2010年6月19日六级答案听力“长对话1原文”:
M: I got two letters this morning with Job Office, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy。
W: So you’re not sure which to go for?
M: That’s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: the Polytechnic is offering a two year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year’s contract and that’s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you’ll never know。
W: I see. So it’s much less secure. But you don’t need to think too much about steady jobs when you’re only 23.
M: That’s true。
W: What about the salaries?
M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short-term. I’ll be getting equivalent about 22, 000 pounds a year there, but only 20, 000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But only hours are different. At the Polytechnic, I’d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration whereas the Pistoia School is only asking for 13 hours’ teaching。
W: Um。
M: Then the type of teaching is so different。
W: The Polytechnic’s are all adults and mostly preparation for exams, like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories and a couple of children’s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching。
W: Well, that sounds very much more varied interesting. And I’d imagine you’d be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school and moving around quite a bit。
M: Yes, whereas at the Polytechnic’s position, I’d been stuck in the school all day。
