Script:

M: Come in, please.

W: Good morning, sir. I’m Karen Yang.

M: Good morning, Miss Yang. I’m Kevin Carter, the Administration Manager. Take a seat, please.

W: Oh, is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.

M: Thank you. Ah… Miss Yang, I’ve gone through your resume. I’d like to ask you some quest ions now, if you don’t mind.

W: Of course not. please go ahead.

M: Well, can you tell me why you would like to work as a medical representative with us?

W: I really like this kind of work, and having been a doctor for three years, I want to

apply for this position for a change.

M: Don’t you think it’s a pity for you to leave your present job?

W: To some extent, it is. I have learned a lot in the hospital. But I would like to try a different kind of life. By the way, could you tell me how much the new job pays? M: Sure. There is a five-month probationary试用的period and you can only get RMB2,000 for each month. After that, we’ll determine your salary according to your performance.

W: Oh, I see. Then, what about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that? M: Every employee in our company enjoys life insurance人寿保险and unemployment insurance. In addition, they enjoy two-week paid holidays.

W: That sounds fine. How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?

M: I’m not sure. It depends on your ability and performance. Maybe we’ll send you to one of our branches, if you like.

W: No problem. I hate staying at one place all the time. But in which cities do you have your branches? And, where is your company based (把总部设在…)?

M: Our company is based in New York, with branches in many cities, such as Philadelphia, Beijing and London.

…

Key:

Is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.

Avoid asking interviewer personal questions or making personal comments.

Could you tell me how much the new job pays?

The interviewer might infer from these questions that you are only interested in your own needs and not those of their company. Wait until the employer raises these subjects to discuss them.

What about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that?

How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?

But in which cities do you have your branches? And where is your company based?

It is also unwise to ask about things you should have already known. You are only telling the interviewer that you haven't done your homework.

Chen: Last year, during the probationary period, I was involved in the restoration of a factory in Nanjing, I really learned a lot from the experience, especially how to access 评估people’s strengths and abilities.

Ms. Mandel: Can you cope with hard work under pressure and in a tough environment?

Chen: No problem, I don’t care about pressure or the environment as lo ng as I enjoy the work.

Ms. Mandel: Good. Now, do you have any questions to ask?

Chen: Yes, I’ve got one. Are there any opportunities for Chinese employees to be transferred to the head office in New York or other branch offices around the world? Ms. Mandel: Um, probably. I think you are likely to be sent to work in an overseas branch to get experience later on once you’ve proved your worth.

Chen: Oh, great. If I’m accepted, I will do my best for the company.

Ms. Mandel: I wish you luck! We’ll notify you of our final decision by Friday. Chen: Thank you! Ms. Mandel. Good-bye.

Task 1 Formal and informal meetings

Extract 1. Good afternoon, I’d like to call the meeting to order. There are three issues on today’s agenda. First of all, let’s discuss whether it’s necessary to set up the Department of Security.

Extract 2. OK, everyone is here. Shall we start? As you know, we’ve called this meeting to discuss whether it’s the appropri ate time to establish a new agency. So, why don’t we start with Ann, who will introduce the situation?

Extract 3. Right, you know why we’re here. The product presentation is next week and we’ve got to come up with some original ideas. Maybe we should do it like this—I’ll note down your ideas on the chart over here. Then we’ll eliminate the more wayward ideas. The rest of the ideas will be made into a short-list of three or four concept.

Task 2 How to take meeting minutes

Script:

Recording the proceedings of a professional meeting can be a challenging task. If you are asked to take notes for the meeting, here are some tips that can help you do a good job.

First, arrive at the meeting ahead of schedule. Find a good seat in the middle of the group where you can hear everyone speak plainly. Be sure your pen or pencil works if you take notes by hand or check to see if the laptop provided for this purpose is plugged in and working as needed.

Second, consider using a tape recorder, which will help you ensure accuracy in transcribing proceedings. If you use such equipment, arrange to have it on hand at the time and location of the meeting, and be sure the equipment works properly by testing it before the meeting begins.

Third, use a consistent format. The usual criteria include the meeting’s name, location, date, and starting as well as ending time. Also mentioned at the top of your list are the names of attendees.

Fourth, follow the agenda. If an agenda was posted or distributed before the meeting, cover each of its points in your minutes.

Fifth, be concise. Rather than writing each word that everyone says, just catch the highlights. Also, find out whether attendees wish to be identified by name or prefer to be kept anonymous.

Sixth, list specific outcomes. Important actions should be listed separately to catch read er’s attention. Check previous minutes to follow similar organization. Seventh, after the meeting, write a meeting report from your notes. Sign your name at the bottom of the last page of the minutes. Distribute the final copy of meeting minutes to everyone who attended as well as absentees.

It is also important to organize all meeting minutes in a standard file so that it can well serve as future reference.

Script:

(Sales have dropped! Larry Hunter, Marketing Manager of B&N, calls a meeting at short notice.)

Gregory: Do you know why we are here?

Richard: No. I have no idea. He just popped in and told me there would be a meeting at 3:00.

Amy: I’m afraid it’s about cuts. I saw him this morning and he’s not happy.

Larry: Bad news! I guess you’ve all seen last month’s sales figure for the laptop X600.

Amy: No, actually I haven’t.

Richard: Me, neither.

Larry: Oh, well, there’s a 21% drop from July.

Gregory: 21%? That’s a disaster!

Amy: I suppose you’re going t o blame my sales team.

Larry: No, Amy. We are not going to blame anyone. Not today. We need to decide what we are going to do about it.

Richard: Wait. Before we go on, can we have a look at these poor figures?

Larry: Sorry, I’m not sure if I have…Ah, yes, I’ve got a few copies here. As you can see…

Amy: Larry, I want you to know that it’s not my fault! My people have been working really hard to promote sales.

Larry: Yes, yes, I know. But the fact is that the results are not good.

Richard: Maybe we can…

Amy: You should trust your team! There are always ups and downs in sales!

Larry: Look, Amy. I do have confidence in my team! I have called this meeting to see what my team suggests we do! So shall we get on with it? I suppose we can start by finding out why we are having these poor results. Gregory, would you please give us an analysis of these figures?

Gregory: Ur…Sorry, I don’t have anything prepared since I didn’t know…

Video 2 What can we do?

Script:

(Sales have dropped! Larry Hunter, Marketing Manager of B&N, calls a meeting to solve the problem.)

Larry: I’m sorry to have called this meeting at such short notice. Did you all get a copy of the sales figures?

Together: Yes.

Larry: Good. So you have seen from my memo the purpose of this meeting. Firstly, we need to figure out the reason for the drop, and secondly, what we should do about it. It might not be easy, but I want to finish the meeting by 3 o’clock.

Gregory: OK.

Together: Uh-huh.

Larry: Now, Amy, what do you think?

Amy: Well, there’s a lot more competition out there now.

Larry: That’s true, but our prices are competitive.

Richard: In my opinion, the salespeople are not very motivated. We need to do something to encourage them to get out there and sell.

Amy: I th ink they’re working pretty hard already.

Larry: But it’s not hard enough, Amy! They need something to give them a bit of a

push. What about the bonus system? How many salespeople get bonuses now? Amy: Not many.

Larry: Really? Why not?

Amy: The sales quotes are pretty high. You have to make $60,000 in sales. That’s a lot. Most people average about $45,000.

Gregory: Per month?

Amy: Yes.

Richard: Well, maybe we should lower our quotas.

Larry: How’s that going to motivate them, Richard?

Richard: If we lower the quotas, it will be easier for the salespeople to reach them. So more people will get…

Amy: I don’t see the point. How’s that going to increase sales?

Larry: Let him finish.

Richard: Well, I think the quotas are just too high. The salespeople don’t think t hey can reach them so they don’t try. But, if someone is making, say, $45,000, and if the target is 50,000, then they’ll work just a little bit harder to reach 50,000.

Gregory: I see what you mean. And if they get a nice bonus at $50,000 then they’ll work even harder the next month.

Larry: Yes. You’ve got a good point! Let’s come up with a proposal for lower quotas. Key:

? 1) To figure out the reason for the sales drop and the actions to be taken.

? 2) The salespeople are not very motivated.

? 3) N o, because the sales quotas are pretty high.

? 4) He proposes to lower the quotas.

Task 1 Hotels for business travelers

Script:

Interviewer: So, what basic needs do business travelers have?

Kevin: One of the most important things is a quick check-in and check-out. After a long trip, it’s annoying to have to wait at the hotel reception for five minutes. Room service is also very important. Guests often stay in their rooms working and don’t have time to go out to a restaurant, so they want their meals to be served in their rooms.

Interviewer: And what facilities are there in the room?

Kevin: Well, nowadays communication facilities are essential, so things like a modern socket, where guests can plug their modems in, and a fax are very important. Interviewer: Yes, of course.

Kevin: The lighting is also very important. We’ve just spent a lot of money upgrading the lighting in our rooms. As I said, guests often spend their evenings preparing work, so they need good lighting at their desks.

Interviewer: And what about facilities in the hotel in general?

Kevin: The bars are important. Corporate guests tend to spend more time in the hotel bars than tourists. It’s very important to provide a business center, too. Interviewer: What services does the business center provide?

Kevin: Basic secretarial services such as photocopying and typing. Guests always find it helpful to have these kind of things organized for them.

Interviewer: Right, and what about the distance to the airport and city center? Is that important?

Kevin: Yes. We’re in the east of London so we’re near City Airport. A lot of our guests have meetings in this area; they don’t want to be near Heathrow Airport or right in the city center. But it is easy to get to the center of London from here. It only takes about 15 minutes with our courtesy bus. And there’s a river of taxis, as well. Interviewer: Are corporate guests interested in using your fitness center or swimming pool?

Kevin: Not really. They’re more popular with tourists. Our corporate guests are more interested in getting in and out of the hotel as quickly as possible and working while they’re here.

well planned a meeting is. They will not trust anything that doesn't take years to build. For example, a strong relationship of 10 years is more important than a brand new office building or an

impressive meeting. Trust is most important thing for them. They also seldom offer any opinions unless they are sure about what they want to say. Face is perhaps most important to the Japanese.
