PROBLEM: W: Good morning. Sit down please, Mr. Johnson. M: Thank you, madam. W: I have read your letter here. You seemed to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work? M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were arts subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable. W: That's true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job? M: Well, madam, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software, and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right? W: That's right. M: And I've been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well. W: So, you would like to write material for computers, would you? M: Yes, madam. That's what interests me most about computers - writing programs, but I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I'm sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good no matter what sort of job I went into. W: I see, well, thank you. I've enjoyed our talk. We'll be writing to you. M: Thank you, madam. Good morning., Question: Mr. Johnson would like to work as a (n)

My wife's going to her mother's for a couple of weeks. She lives by the sea, you know. W: Oh, does she? That's convenient. M: Yes, but I want to go to the country. W: Don't you like the sea?

PROBLEM: W: Have you heard that the boss of the law office where Rick works wants him to fly to Brazil and do a month's work there? M: That's nice. He will love it because everything will be paid for, such as air travel, meals, hotel...and this is his first time to get out of the States. W: Indeed. You won't believe how much he is looking forward to it, and how much his little sister admires him!
