Part Ⅰ Situational Dialogues
Practice 1
Task 2: Simulated situational conversation.
Anna: Hi, Bill. I heard you have graduated from college, right?
Bill: Yeah.
Cathy: Do you have any idea about what you are going to do after graduation?
Bill: Not really. Actually, I have not given much thought about it. I think I would find a job first.
Anna: It seems you do not have a career planning, don't you?
Bill: Yup. I had supposed my major would help me find a job easily back to university time but the truth turns out to be that no company would hire an inexperienced graduate.
Cathy: That's true. Both Anna and me have gone through a difficult time in finding our favorable jobs. Unfortunately, there is no job within our expectation for it is either low pay or unsuitable.
Bill: I may run into the same situation then. Have you tried to attend Career Service? They may offer some good chances.
Anna: Yup. They made a career planning for me and listed every precaution I should remember when finding a job. Furthermore, I am looking for a job based on their standard.
Bill: It sounds great. I would like to have them to prepare my career planning!

O: That's good. What do you think you will have done at the age of 40 according to your career planning?

O: I'm sure you will do it. You have good communication and coordination skills. Not to mention you're also hard-working, enthusiastic and far-sighted.
M: Thank you. What about you? You must have made big progress.
O: Well, I'm determined to work in a bank. By the age of 40, I will be the human resource manager. I will try my best to manage the human resource department well and coordinate with the other departments.
