Conversation 1
Li:What a wonderful view! This is such a great city!Do you ever get tired of living in London, Andy?
A;"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"
Li:That's a quotation by Samuel Johnson, isn't it?
A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?
Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.
A; And you will find a job?
Li:I think I have to do my Master's before I look for work.But I must admit London is very special.Do you think you would ever leave London?
A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back here.
Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.
A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?
Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it.
A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit you
Li:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.
A:Don't make it look too good
Li:Why not?
A;Well,if you enjoy working with London Time Off, we don't want you working with anyone else
Li:Oh, working with you and Joe it's great fun and really interesting. I couldn't think of a better way to find out about a city
A;So maybe you should think about applying for a job with us
Li:But do you think I'd stand a chance(有可能，有希望)?I mean, I'm not sure if Joe likes me
A:Don't even think about it!Joe is very straight talking and I promise you that you'd know if he didn't like you.
Li:Perhaps we should both update our CVs and look for jobs together
A:Hey,right!That would be fun.

A:He did media studies in the States,and then found work as a gofer（杂工） at Lift off USA in New York.

Outsideview :How to get a job
        Graduation.What a big day!Your life is about to begin!And then your "Get a job".I tell you!Looking for your first job out of college can be pretty hard.Reading all the job listing is so annoying.Even trying to figure out what the actual job is can be difficult.Searching through the want ads can be so boring.And writing your resume is really hard work.
        "I don't have that day open."Getting a job interview,and then going on it—the whole process is pretty tough.
        "Sorry to keep you waiting.Uh,have a seat.""I have your resume here,and you are interested in the assistant's position."
        "Yeah,yeah"
        "Well,the right candidate for this job has to be very outgoing and sociable.After all it is a sale position."
        "Well, I'm a real extrovert(性格外向的人).Definitely."
        "And the right candidate has to have great self-confidence.Customers need to feel that you know what you're talking about."   
        "Well, I'm really self-confident.Um I know what I'm talking about and I think I can project that"
        "So,what skills would you bring to this job?" 
        ""Well, I realize that I'm completely overqualified for this position.I mean,um,in my last job,I was running the whole place."
