口語練習對話一：
A: OK. Now let’s get started. What’s your name? Where are you from?
B: My name is Li Ming, and I’m from Shanghai.
A: Thank you. And you? Where are you from?
C: I’m Zheng Fang. I’m from Hangzhou.
A: Thanks. Do you work or study here, Miss Zheng?
C: I work as a sales clerk in a foreign company.
A: What about you, Mr. Li?
B: I’m a student. I study Biology.
A: Do you like your major, Mr. Li?
B: Yes, I’m very fond of Biology.
A: Why?
B: I find biology very interesting and very useful. It helps me understand life forms and nature better.
A: How about you, Miss Zheng?
C: I like my job very much. The Sales Department is very important in the company. I can learn a lot from my work, and my boss treats me very well.
A: Thank you. Now I’m going to ask you both some questions about office hours. How many hours do you study each day, Mr. Li?
B: I study about 10 hours every day.
A: What about you, Miss Zheng? How many hours do you work every day?
C: Eight hours.
A: Do you think working overtime is a good thing for a company, Miss Zheng? C: No, I don’t think so.
A: Why not?
C: Working overtime will cause complaints from employees and ruin their health in the long run. If the workers develop the habit of working overtime, their efficiency tends to be lower. And that means the company should pay more to them.
A: What do you think of it, Mr. Li?
B: I don’t think overtime work is a good thing. That makes the job very stressful and tiring. Of course, it’s understandable to work overtime occasionally when it’s really busy and necessary.
A: Mr. Li, do you think people in the future will work longer hours or shorter hours? B: I think people will work shorter hours in the future.
A: Why?
B: With the help of computers, work efficiency will be much higher than before. Within the shorter hours, they can do the same even more work than what they can do now.
A: Do you think people will feel free to choose the work hours in the future, Miss Zheng? C: Yes, I suppose so.
A: Why?
C: Computers have made it possible for people to work at home. So they may choose to
A: OK. That’s all for the first part of the exam. Now let’s move to the second...
口語練習對話二：Business Dialogue
1) Negotiating a Job Offer
Employer: would you consider an offer of $56,000 per year?
Ms. Wilson: What kind of benefits are talking about?
Employer: Our standard package includes health insurance, two weeks vacation and a company car.
Ms. Wilson: Are these things negotiable?
Employer: Uh…not normally. What do you have in mind ?
Ms. Wilson: Vacation time is important to me. I would be willing to give up these other items in order to receive more vacation days.
Employer: What an interesting idea, Ms. Wilson. Would you also be willing to accept a cut in initial salary?
Ms. Wilson: possibly. What do you have in mind ?
2) Employee Pay Raise
Boss: You have done an excellent job this year and we are pleased with the results.
Employee: I am glad that you have been happy with my performance.
Boss: As a result of your performance, we happy to offer you the position of manager.
Employee: Does this title come with an increase in salary?
3) Asking for a Raise
Mr. White: So, tell me: what makes you think we should give you a raise?
Miss Small: I’ve got several good reasons. I’ve been here several years, my work has proven to be good, and I’ve noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do.
Mr. White: Salaries are confidential; how do you know how much money these “other people” make?
Miss Small: Well, I’ve noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing.
Mr. White: Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips. Also, some employees receive sales commissions. So good salesmen will naturally earn more.
Miss Small: That’s understandable. Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else’s, perhaps we could talk about my job performance. Surely you’ve noticed the extra hours I’ve put in recently? If I were being paid an hourly wage, with the standard time – and – a – half for overtime, I’d be earning much more.
Mr. White: I see you point. However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. Profits were down last quarter, and the whole company is tightening its belt, so anything that affects the annual budget is hard to get approved. But I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll give you a one – time bonus for your recent hard work. And I’ll try to arrange some sort of compensation for any future overtime.
Miss Small: That would be very good of you, Mr. White.
4) Asking for a Raise
Martin: Mr. Smith, I have been doing some industry research and was shocked to learn that the average salary for a position that is similar to mine pays, on average $2,000 more per year than I am currently making.
Mr. Smith: What are you basing this information on?
Martin: First and secondary research. I hope that you can address this concern immediately as I find it very disturbing.
Mr. Smith: Yes, I will. We are very happy with performance and want to continue our good working relationship.
Martin: I wish the same. As such, I hope you will seriously consider a pay increase.
Mr. Smith: Let me take this up with the Director and get back to you immediately.
