Narrator:
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。
