W: Thank you! M: Now, you're applying for a job as secretary with us. I'd like to ask you some questions. Now, first of all, how many foreign languages can you speak? W: Well, I can speak English quite well. And I also know a little Japanese. M: English and a bit of Japanese. Um, can you type? W: Oh, yes, I can type. M: Uh-huh, and can you use a computer? W: Oh yes. I am very good at computers. M: Apple and PC? W: Both, yes. And I can do word processing and other things as well. M: Right, and um, can you take shorthand? W: Yes, not very fast, but I can. M: OK, fine. And can you drive a car? W: No, I'm afraid I can't. M: Well, that's not very important. What was said before this conversation?
