Please answer this: M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don't cover international stories. We don't cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill. W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose one because it's what the public wants to know about or because it's what you feel the public ought to know about? M: I think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn't seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied. W: How do you know that you've got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time? M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?

Please answer this: M: Well, I have an important interview on Saturday. Maybe you could give me some tips on how to make a good impression. W: Sure. First, write down something about your education and work experience. Take it to the interview. M: All right. W: Also, you need to find as much information as you can about the company. You can do this in the library. Have they sent you some brochures? M: Yes, but I can do it better on the Internet. W: That's a good idea. And another thing, mmm, be prepared to say why you would be good for the job. M: Oh, yes. They may want to know what contributions I can make to the company. W: And then don't forget to prepare some questions that you would like to ask them. There's usually time for that at the end of the interview. M: Why should I ask some questions? W: It always makes a good impression if you ask some questions about the job. It shows you really care about what kind of company you will work for. M: Thank you so much for all your advice.
