No surprise that you’ll likely be (1) videotaped while holiday shopping, but it’s not all for (2) _security__. Some of it is for market research. Retailers are tracking you to learn how you shop.“Where are people, shoppers, spending time? What is grabbing their attention?

And finally, of course, what every product and retailer, er, the product manufacturer and retailer want you to drop it into your basket.”But it’s not all creative marketing; traffic jams at (8) checkout are often the biggest problem.“What this shows is a, is a line-forming, and something that you are very familiar with in this, this season.”Best Buy is using its own research to try to (9) shorten those lines.“We now deploy a queuing system in our stores, where all customers, they wait in a queue, and we have someday there directing traffic, so you don’t get (10) caught in the wrong line, which drives people crazy.Module 3 Listening Tasks（习耳攻听）I .Long ConversationsDialogue 1Mr. Wells, a US sports businessman, and his assistant, Ms. Porter, are visiting Shanghai.

商务英语视听说Unit 1Part I Listening and SpeakingTask 1Q1.I am graduating in June from ABC University and my major is hotel management. I am an outgoing, energetic person. I enjoy teamwork very much. As part of my degree program, I needed to finish different projects with my teammates. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a very positive attitude. My career aspiration is to become a successful hotelier. During my internship at the Grand Hyatt, I worked as a receptionist. My duties included offering friendly and efficient check-in and check-out service to guests, answering phone calls, taking and passing on messages to guests, I find that if I can make the guests happy, I will be very happy, too.Q2.I received honors in several school-wide English and computer contests. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds. I am good at communicating, organizing and coordinating. If something blocks my path, I will look for a solution. I never give up easily.Sometimes I receive comments that I need to improve in the area of filing. I am now trying to improve by learning from others.Q3.Interest and career development are two of my criteria in choosing a job. Interest is the best motivation. I love the hotel business, so I will definitely devote myself to it. Moreover, high job satisfaction can be attained when the job is what I am interested in.Career development is very important for me when choosing a job. From what I know, Shangri-La provides equal career advancement for all staff. The job rotation plan and individually tailored training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me.Task 2Is 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.

商务英语视听说Unit 1Part I Listening and SpeakingTask 1Q1.I am graduating in June from ABC University and my major is hotel management.I am an outgoing, energetic person. I enjoy teamwork very much. As part of my degree program, I needed to finish different projects with my teammates. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a very positive attitude. My career aspiration is to become a successful hotelier. During my internship at the Grand Hyatt, I worked as a receptionist. My duties included offering friendly and efficient check-in and check-out service to guests, answering phone calls, taking and passing on messages to guests, I find that if I can make the guests happy, I will be very happy, too.Q2.I received honors in several school-wide English and computer contests. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds. I am good at communicating, organizing and coordinating. If something blocks my path, I will look for a solution. I never give up easily.Sometimes I receive comments that I need to improve in the area of filing.I am now trying to improve by learning from others.Q3.Interest and career development are two of my criteria in choosing a job. Interest is the best motivation. I love the hotel business, so I will definitely devote myself to it. Moreover, high job satisfaction can be attained when the job is what I am interested in.Career development is very important for me when choosing a job. From what I know, Shangri-La provides equal career advancement for all staff. The job rotation plan and individually tailored training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me.Task 2Is 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 basedIt 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.Part II Language FocusName: CaiNingPersonality: serious-minded; calm; humorous; easy-goingStrengths: the ability to work with all types of peopleWeakness: perfectionist; impatientWork experience: six years’ financial industry experience with several companies; two years’ experience in an investment bankQualification: graduated from Peking University in 2001 majoring in accounting;fluent English; bookkeepingand accounting proficiency in English.Reasons for leaving last job: want to find a job that is challenging.Questions about the job: W ould I be able to work abroad in one of your overseas branches?Part III Viewing and SpeakingVideo 1Reasons for joining the company It is one of the leading international consultant corporations whichcame to China after China entered in this company would give him thebest chance to use what he has learned at university.Relevant work experience He was involved in a factory restoration in Nanjing.Questions Are there any opportunities for Chinese employees to be transferredto the head office in New York or other branch offices around the world?
