-* 扩展商务英语视听说1-8单元答案 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 havent done your homework.
