1.ExercisesTrue (T) or False (F)?1. The writer thought that the likelihood of him getting the job was not great though he was young and eager to do something useful.T2. The headmaster liked the young man at first sight.FThe headmaster did not like the young man when he went for an interview. He looked at him with surprised disapproval and, instead of showing welcome to the young man, he just grunted, which was an expression of irritation and displeasure3. The headmaster saw eye to eye with the writer as far as children’s games were concerned.FThey did not think alike. To the headmaster, games played an essential role in a boy’s education but the writer did not consider games to have so much importance to the boys.4. The writer was not happy about his having to teach algebra and geometry, but he did not mind having to walk a mile along the dusty road to the Park.T5. The young man was satisfied with the salary he would get.FThe young man would only get twelve pounds a week including lunch, which was by no means good pay. Of course the writer was not satisfied. However, before he could say anything about the poor pay, the headmaster had stood up and asked the young man to meet his wife.6. The writer did not feel unhappy at the idea of working under the headmaster’s wife.FThe writer thought it was something he could hardly bear. To him, for a young man to work under a woman would be shameful and would result in a loss of dignity and self-respect.Explain the following in your own words.1. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience of teaching my chances of landing the job were slim. Because I was in bad need of money and was eager to do something of use, I applied for the job. But at the same time that I did so, I was afraid that the possibility for me to get the job was very small because I didn’t have a university degree, nor did I have any teaching experience.2. ...three days later a letter arrived, summoning me to Croydon for an interview.… three days later I received a letter, asking me to go to Croydon to have an interview.3. He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone.He cast a look at me with the same surprise and dislike as a colonel would look at a soldier when his bootlaces came loose.4. The headmaster and I obviously had singularly little in common.Apparently the headmaster and I had no similar interests or beliefs.5. The teaching set-up appalled me.The way teaching was organized filled me with terror (or, I was shocked at the teachingarrangements).6. I should have to split the class up into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels.I should have to divide the class into three groups of three different levels and teach them one after another.7. It was not so much having to tramp a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon, followed by a crocodile of small boys that I minded, but the fact that most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I felt troubled not because I had to walk for a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon, followed bya group of boys, but because at that time most of my friends would be having a good time and relaxing.8. The prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.The fact that I would have to work under a woman in future made me feel totally humiliated.Text IIComprehensionTrue (T) or False (F)1. Most people think that a job interview is a terrible experience.Key: T2. You’re often given a reason if you’re not hired after an interview.Key: FIf you don’t get the job, you’re rarely given any reason why.3. You should neither wear casual student clothing nor overdress yourself when going to aninterview.Key: T4. To demonstrate your ability to be politely sociable, you should initiate small talk before gettingdown to business.Key: FYou should follow the interviewer’s lead and should not initiate any small talk or drag it out.5. You should be frank and list all your flaws to the interviewer.Key: FYou’ll come across as more believable if you admit a flaw – but make it one that an employer might actually like.6. A thank-you note shortly after the interview is one more chance to help you make a goodimpression.Key: T1. Role-playAn InterviewSituation:Mr. Black, manager of an investment company, is in urgent need of a secretary. He is now interviewing Mary, who has applied for this post.Sentence frames that might be used by an interviewer:Can I have ...?Could you tell us ...?Have you any experience in ...?Do you know how to ...?How long …?2. Interaction ActivitiesMaking Preparations for an InterviewYou are thinking of gaining some experience by working as a tourist guide. Next week, you are going to be interviewed by Mr. Patterson, head of a travel agency.1. In order to make a good impression on the interviewer, discuss with your partner thefollowing questions:1) What should / shouldn’t you wear? Why/why not?2) How should / shouldn’t you behave? Why/why not?2. To be fully prepared, discuss with your partner what questions the interviewer is likely toprepared for an interview.2. Details that the interviewer is interested in:certificate of education / diploma / degrees / major field of studyforeign languageswork experience as an interpreter / a clerk / a secretary / a tourist guidelikes and dislikespersonal status (single or married) / children1. Précis WritingA. Guidelines for writing a précis:1. Read the original text carefully; and, if necessary, read it several times. Search for the main idea(s).2. Write down what are considered to be the key words and phrases.3. Determine which parts of the text are essential and which supply non-essential supplementary information.4. Discard those points that are considered redundant.5. Base the précis on the notes and the précis writer’s own interpretation of the main idea(s).B. A précis of My First Job1. Choose the opening sentence from among the following:1) I went to Croydon for an interview.2) I applied for my first job before I entered university because I was short of money.3) I was very young when I got my first job.2. My First Job was an unpleasant experience of the writer’s. First, it was the first time for himto get a job; second, he needed the money. So, from the beginning to the end, everything was unpleasant. To intensify the already unpleasant atmosphere, a little description of the dismal surroundings, the bleak schoolhouse, and the disagreeable headmaster are needed.C. The reference versionI applied for my first job before I entered university because I was short of money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The Victorian schoolhouse stood amid fumes and dust by a busy main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the house academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who were to be split up into three levels. I had to teacheverything including the subjects I abhorred. Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.2. Paragraph WritingFor your referenceThe incidents in a narrative are usually told in the order in which they occurred. Therefore, the sentence I never met Aunt Helen until the day when Mother sent me over with a thermos flaskof chicken soup serves as the topic sentence, and the following are the details:- the purpose of going there- the description of Aunt Helen- the pleasant atmosphere- the writer’s impressionAll these details adhere to the topic sentence to make the paragraph complete.Exercise I1. Spelling1. advertise2. suburb3. range4. interview5. quarter6. depress7. dreary8. indignity9. disapproval10. geometry11. singularly12. leisure2. DictationThe most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s signs and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me.I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discoverall things to me, and, more than anything thing else, to love me.3. Listening ComprehensionA. True (T) or False (F)?For false statements, write the facts.1. Henry would have liked his interview to begin at once.T2. The secretary waited in the manager’s office while the manager signed the letters.FThe manager signed the last letter and then rang the bell for his secretary to come in and take the letters away.3. The technical journals were very carefully arranged on the top shelf.FIt looked as if the technical journals might at any moment slip off the shelf and fall to the ground.4. The manager’s desk was very tidy.T5. The manager had no idea what job Henry had come for.FThe manager knew what job Henry had come for; he said, “You’ve come about our advertisement for a clerk in the accounts section, haven’t you?”B. Complete the following sentences with relevant information from the passage.1. The telephone rang just as the manager was explaining that that he was waiting for a long-distance call from Manchester.2. The manager apologized for keeping Henry waiting.3. The bookcase was so large that it covered the greater part of one wall.4. In the box which marked OUT, the manager dropped the letters which he had signed.Script:The InterviewThe manager waved his hand towards the chair on the other side of the desk and told Henry to take a seat. “I’m waiting for a long-distance call from Manchester,” he explained. The telephone rang just as he spoke. The manager picked up the receiver and for some minutes spoke rapidly and impatiently into the telephone. Henry waited, rather regretting that this interview, which he had been dreading for days, had not begun at once. When at last the manager had finished, a secretary came in with a pile of letters. “I really won’t keep you waiting much longer,” said the manager apologetically, as he picked up the first letter and began to read it. “But these have to catch the next post.”Henry passed the time by examining the manager’s office in some detail. On his right there was a large window, heavily curtained, with a view of the factory yard. Henry could see two workmen pushing a trolley across it towards a shed at the far end. Close to the window there werethree chairs arranged around a long, low table, on which stood a jug of water and some glasses. To Henry’s left there was a bookcase, which covered the greater part of one wall. The shelves were empty except for a dozen or so reference books, a pile of technical journals, which looked as if they might at any moment slip off the shelf and fall to the ground, and on the top shelf, standing by itself and looking rather out of place in the manager’s office, was a child’s plastic toy. Henry could not help wondering how it came to be there.The most impressive piece of furniture in the room was the manager’s desk. Everything on its spacious polished top was arranged with great neatness. On either side of the desk there were two metal trays, one marked IN, the other marked OUT. In the latter tray the manager dropped the letters which he had just signed.Henry had finished his survey of the room when the manager signed the last letter and tossed it into the tray on his right. “That’s the lot,” he said, as he rang the bell for his secretary to come in and take the letters away. Then he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. “Now let me see,” he said. “You’ve come about our advertisement for a clerk in the accounts section, haven’t you?”Henry nodded. His interview had begun.4. TranslationA. Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English.1.他们都认为他成功的可能性很小。
