W: Hello! Glad to meet you. M: Tell me something about yourself, please. W: My name is Wan Mei and I live in Guangzhou. I was born in 1987. I am a student of Jinan University. I have majored in Public Administration, I like travelling very much and enjoy sports. I am in the tennis club at my university. M: Your application form says you were out of school for half a year during high school. What was the reason? Were you ill? W: Oh. No. My father's job took him to America for six months then, and he decided to take the whole family along. M: So during that time you went to high school in the United States? W: Yes, it was just for a few months. I attended Johnson High School in Chicago. M: Tell me why you are interested in working for this company, will you? W: I think working in this company would give me the best opportunity to use what I've learned at college, studying public administration for four years. I think this company has a great future. So for a long time I've been thinking I'd like to work for this company. M: Have you ever worked during your university days? W: Yes. I worked as a teacher to teach English to a middle school student. M: There's a good chance for you to come to work for this company. Thank you for coming. Good bye! W: Good bye!

M: Then they can do a lot of work for us. W: You are right. They have greatly changed our lives. What was said before this conversation?

Dad: A Game Boy? Those are too expensive. Boy: No, they're not. There only twenty-five dollars. I've got forty-two dollars before, but Mom didn't let me buy one. Dad: Well, let's look. Let's think of some ways so that ... Hmm. Well, maybe we can come up with some ways that you can earn money. Boy: Let's see ... allowance. Dad: Okay, well allowance. So, how much money can you make a week with allowance? What did Mom tell you? Boy: She said that if, umm, you get your work done on time, you can get $1.25. Dad: Okay, so if you get your work done, you get $1.25. Okay, and what are some other ways that you can earn a little bit more money? Boy: Umm, let's see. I could work for people. Dad: Okay, well, maybe you could come up with some odd jobs. What are a couple of things that you could do to earn some money, maybe around here, in the neighborhood? Boy: Umm. Dad: What about opening up a lemonade stand? Boy: I can try that. That'll be fun. Dad: Okay. What else can you do? Boy: Hmmm. Most the kids on our block like candy, so I can start one of those. Dad: Okay, so maybe selling some candy. [Yeah.] And, what else? Boy: Umm. I could ... umm ... take out the trash everyday. Dad: Well, I think you have some ideas, so I guess if you save long, you'll be able to earn enough money to buy something you want. Sound good? Boy: Like a Game Boy? Dad: Uh, something you need, let's say. Boy: Uh! (Great surprise and disgust) Dad: [Laughing] What was said before this conversation?
