Conversation 1
Li:What a wonderful view! This is such a great city!Do you ever get tired of living in London,
Andy?
A;"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"
Li:That's a quotation by Samuel Johnson, isn't it?
A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?
Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.
A; And you will find a job?
Li:I
think
I
have
to
do
my
Master's
before
I
look
for
work.But
I
must
admit
London
is
very
special.Do you think you would ever leave London?
A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back
here.
Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.
A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?
Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if
there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it.
A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit you
Li:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.
A:Don't make it look too good
Li:Why not?
A;Well,if you enjoy working with London Time Off, we don't want you working with anyone else
Li:Oh, working with you and Joe it's great fun and really interesting. I couldn't think of a better
way to find out about a city
A;So maybe you should think about applying for a job with us
Li:But do you think I'd stand a chance(

)?I mean, I'm not sure if Joe likes me
A:Don't even think about it!Joe is very straight talking and I promise you that you'd know if he
didn't like you.
Li:Perhaps we should both update our CVs and look for jobs together
A:Hey,right!That would be fun.
