Read the below conversation. M: Come in. Please have a seat. W: Thank you. M: I'm Paul Turner. Branch Manager. W: Katie Thomas, nice to meet you. M: I hear that you're looking for temporary office work. W: That's right. M: How old are you, Katie? W: Eighteen. M: That's rather young. What experience have you had? W: Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college. M: It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology. W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school. M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing? W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went in to learn about word processing. M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office? W: I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I'm used to working as part of a team. What would the listener say?

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe, Dorothy. When are you leaving? W: In just two weeks, and I am excited. I've been looking forward to this training program for a long time. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Like renewing my passport and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone. M: You are not going to give it up, are you? W: No way! I'll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I'm looking for someone to take it while I'm away. M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away! M: Tell you what: I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him. What would the listener say?
