Here we are again at Tip Top Trading, where Anna's interview for a sales job has been suddenly interrupted. Office assistant Denise has entered the room, looking very worried. What's wrong? And will Anna have any suggestions that might help? |
Denise: |
I don't know what to do! |
Paul: |
So what's the matter Denise? |
Denise: |
You know the PowerPoint presentation? |
Paul: |
The one we've been preparing for the last two months? |
Denise: |
Yes. |
Paul: |
The one that's very, very important and that we need this afternoon? |
Denise: |
That one. |
Paul: |
Aha. |
Denise: |
We've lost everything! |
Paul: |
No! |
Denise: |
I had it on a USB stick, to transfer it, but the stick has vanished! |
Narrator: |
Right Anna, now is your chance to help them find solutions to the problem. You'll need phrases like: |
|
Can I make a suggestion? |
|
Why don't you...? |
|
Have you tried...? |
|
Maybe we could...? |
|
How about...? |
|
I have an idea! |
Paul: |
But don't you have it saved on your computer? |
Denise: |
No, it was taking up a lot of space, so I deleted it. |
Paul: |
So you have lost the only copy we have. |
Denise: |
Yes. |
Narrator:
|
What idiots! I've never seen such a disorganised office. Go on, you'd better help them, Anna. |
Anna: |
Can I make a suggestion? |
Paul: |
Yes, please do! |
Anna: |
Why don't you try looking in your recycle bin? It might still be there. |
Denise: |
I did. It isn't. |
Anna: |
Have you tried asking your colleagues if they've seen the memory stick? |
Denise: |
I did. They haven't. |
Anna:
|
How about looking through your rubbish bin to see if you threw it away by mistake? |
Denise: |
(getting shirty) I don't do silly things like that! |
Paul: |
All very sensible suggestions Anna, thank you. |
Anna:
|
Maybe I could do a big office search for you...? I'm good at finding things. |
Denise:
|
There are confidential documents in this office – non-staff are not allowed to see them. |
Paul: |
Now, now Denise. Why don't you drink up that nice tea? |
|
|
Anna: |
I have an idea! Did you ever email the presentation to anyone? |
Paul:
|
Golly gosh, you did Denise! You emailed it to me to proof-read. It'll be in my inbox somewhere. Good thinking Anna! |
Denise: |
I was just about to suggest that myself actually. |
Paul: |
Problem solved. Thank you Anna! |
Anna: |
Pleasure. |
Narrator: |
Well done Anna! |
Paul:
|
Right, now please leave us Denise. Anna and I will continue our interview. Would you like a biscuit Anna? |
Anna: |
Thank you. Oh, what's that? |
Paul:
|
Oh golly gosh, the USB stick! It was mixed in with the plate of biscuits that Denise brought in. |
Anna: |
It's wet! |
Can I make a suggestion?
Why don't you try looking in your recycle bin?
Have you tried asking your colleagues if they've seen the memory stick?
How about...?
Maybe I could do a big office search for you...?
How about looking through your rubbish bin...?
I have an idea!
Paul:
|
Anna, we need someone who can think on her feet and who is a first-rate people person. Someone who sees solutions, not problems... someone like you! So if you want the job, it's yours! |
Narrator: |
Ah, now think carefully Anna – do you really want to work for these people? They seem a bit... disorganised. |
Anna: |
I would definitely like the job! Thank you! |
|
|
Narrator: |
So be it. Join us again next week for Anna's first day as a sales executive at Tip Top Trading. |
词汇收集:
vanish: v. disappear, esp suddenly or mysteriously。可以看成是disappear的同义词替换。
disorganised: adj. lacking order/arrangement。可以看成是disordered的同义词替换。
have it saved:注意这种have sth done的表达,非常实用且地道。
confidential 机密的
definitely:同义词certainly,surely,absolutely,decidedly,注意这些词的替换,在口语的part1和3的回答中,在表达肯定时,均可使用,可以丰富并强化你的表达。
一些生活词汇:rubbish bin 垃圾篓,usb stick u盘,inbox收件箱,golly gosh天啊撸,what idots 蠢哭了。
本片高光语段
we need someone who can think on her feet and who is a first-rate people person. Someone who sees solutions, not problems... someone like you! So if you want the job, it's yours!
这是一段非常打动人心的说词,很难想象是一个面试官对应聘者说的话(更像是告白)。paul在这向我们展示了如何优雅地夸奖人:先极尽所能的夸奖某一类人(以示客观),最后将对方归为这一类人。其中 think on one'e feet(脑袋转得快), first-rate people person(喜欢并善于跟人交往的人)值得收藏。给我们的启示是,在雅思口语的人物类话题上,我们在描述某人时,比如,an old person you admire ,可以采用这样一种二步式:首先i admire someone who can...and who is...someone who... 接着,引出主人公‘someone like XXX’.这样磅礴的引入,肯定能吸引考官的注意力,因为这段讲述里,你不但引出了主人公,还引出了ta的特性,也就是你接下来将要描述的ta的各种优点或故事了。值得学习。
