Unit 1
Part I Listening and Speaking
Task 1
Q1.
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 2
Is 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.
You
are
only
telling
the
interviewer that you haven't done your homework.
