2005年英语专业四级:对话1

W: Good morning, sit down please Mr. Johnson.
M: Thank you, ma'am.
W: I have read your letter here. You seem to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work?
M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were art subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable.
W: That's true. Now can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job?
M: Well, ma'am, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right?
W: That's right.
M: And I've been told that working with computers needs the logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well.
W: So you would like to write material for computers, would you?
M: Yes, ma'am, that's what interests me most about computers: writing programs. But I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I am sure that career prospects in the industry will be very good no matter what sort of job I went into.
W: I see. Well, thank you. I've enjoyed our talk, we'll be writing to you.
M: Thank you ma'am. Good morning.
