Narrator : 大家好! 欢迎回到Tip Top 贸易公司的办公室。Anna 的面试还在进行中呢!老板Paul 之前问 Anna 为什么她应该得到这份工作?她最先的回答是:
Anna: Errr... mmmmm...
Narrator: 然后她说了:
Anna: Mmmm... errr...
Narrator: 现在她说的是:
Anna: Well, errrr... I'm errr.
Narrator: 怎么搞的? Anna! 如果你突然卡住了,想不出恰当的表达,这时就得赶快换一种表达方式。
Anna: I am... Well, I really, really want this job and I am willing to work very hard if I get it.
Paul: So you're very motivated, then?
Anna: Motivated! Yes, that's it. I am really motivated.
Paul: Good! Why?
Narrator: 好了,Anna 记住做答的时候要有条理!一定要用第一点 firstly,第二点secondly 等这样的词汇, 然后再讲原因,最重要的原因要放在最后,说 above all. 好,开始!第一个原因。
Anna: Firstly!
Paul: Firstly...?
Anna: Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience: I've spent several years working in sales and I get on with people easily. Well, I mean, apart from the ones I don't like, of course. Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I want to be part of that.
Paul: That's absolutely right. Tip Top Trading is the fastest growing company in the plastic fruit sector. But enough about the company, this is all about you, Annabel.
Anna: Anna.
Paul: Sorry, Anna. Where were we?
Anna: Well, I said that firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience, secondly, the company is growing fast... and… and… above all … the reason I want this job is-
Paul: Yes?

Paul: Denise! Is everything all right?
Denise: No Paul, it's not. Everything is not OK!
Paul: You look pale. Here, sit down, drink what's left of my tea.
Denise: Oh, thank you! Oh… what are those bits floating in it?
Paul: Oh they're just lumps of soggy biscuit. In fact, if I can just... get that bit out... with my finger... for you (licks the wet biscuit from his finger) Mmm, delicious! Now, tell me what's happened.
Denise: Well, it's terrible...
Narrator: 哎呀!糟了。Anna 的面试正在顺利地进行,不过突然给打断了。发生什么事儿了?我们下集分晓。现在一起来回顾一下Anna 是怎样回答老板提出的问题。
Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London and… above all … the reason I want this job is
Anna 记不住motivated 这个单词,所以她必须用其他的词语来描述这个词。
I really, really want the job and I am willing to work very hard if I get it.
好样的, Anna. 希望下周Anna 能够顺利完成她的面试。
