Practice 2
Task 2: Simulated situational conversation.
Linda: Good morning, sir, my name is Linda.
Jack: Good morning. Have a seat, please.
Linda: Thank you. I received your call yesterday. You told me to come this morning for an interview.
Jack: Yes, so you are Miss Linda, one of the applicants for a secretary. Now we do have a vacancy. May I have a look of your references and other certificates?
Linda: Yes, here you are.
Jack: OK, I am quite satisfied with your qualifications. Our company is in need of a secretary to be in charge of English documents. Since you have had nearly four years' study of English at university, I consider you are the right girl for the post. Are you still studying at university?
Linda: Yes, but I am graduating in early July. In fact, I'm writing the graduation paper at the moment.
