M: Lily, I think the movie was great. I loved it.
W: You did? I thought it was terrible.
M: Why? What didn’t you like about it?
W: It seems to have included many elements — mystery, action, and so on. But it just didn’t work.
M: Didn’t you think the plot was good?
W: There were too many details, making it too slow-moving and frustrating.
M: That’s true. But I think they just wanted the characters to have more personality.
W: Anyway, it’s a waste of time seeing a film like this.
M: Don’t you think the acting was quite good?
W: Yes. That was its only good point, in my opinion.
M: Sam Ford, my favorite star, was terrific in the movie.
W: But he still couldn’t save the movie.

M: Yeah. What do you want to know?
W: The usual — you know — something about your background and experience.
M: Well, I was born in New York and went to school there, right up through college. My father is a
doctor and my mother is a lawyer.
W: So you come from a professional family?
M: That’s right. One of my sisters is an engineer and the other one teaches at a university.
W: What made you decide to get into computers?
M: Oh, nothing in particular. I just like it.
W: Can you tell me about your experience? How long have you been working with computers?
M: More than five years now. I started work right after I got my doctor’s degree, I think.
W: It sounds quite impressive. Please send your personal history to me and I’ll show it to the boss.
We’ll get back to you in a week.
M: Thanks for your time.
(Text 10)
Good afternoon! My name’s Carl and I work for one of the major companies on High Street. I’ve
been with them for about 13 years.
      People often ask me why I decided to take this job. As a young adult I loved traveling and
worked for a while as a salesman in Spain. When I came back to stay, my experience of working in
tourist centers abroad helped me to get this job. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I
wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great advantage!
       Basically I’m a salesperson. I advise people on the holiday choices available to them, you
know, different destinations, types of holidays, ways to get there, and so on. When a customer has
decided what he wants, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need; for
example, I organize car rentals and group tours. My duties don’t end there, though. If my
customers are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they
know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and
anything else I think will be useful for them.
