Unit64 You can often understand a great deal about a text even if you don't know many of the words and phrases. The ones that you do understand are like clues to a mystery. In order to solve the mystery, put those clues together and add to them what you already know. Listening Strategy Before listening to the audio for the first time, read the following Listening Strategy. One way to more deeply understand what you're listening to is to compare it to something similar in your own life. When you hear a conversation in English, think of conversations you've had with a similar purpose. Try this out sometime: 1.Listen to a conversation between two English-speaking people. 2.Decide what the speakers were trying to accomplish. 3.Write down or think about the language they used to accomplish it. 4.Role-play (act out) and record a conversation with someone in your own language in which you accomplish the same thing. Listen to the conversation. 5.Compare the two different ways of reaching the same goal: Did the English speakers use more or fewer words than you did? Did the English speakers use longer or shorter sentences than you did? Did they talk about additional topics in the same conversation? How do their opening and closing phrases compare to the ones you used in your own language? Would you be comfortable speaking the way the English speakers did to accomplish the objective? Why or why not? Focus Point After you've listened to the audio several times, keeping the Listening Strategy in mind, listen to it once again and focus on the following points: Who is calling whom? What is the purpose of the call? How do you know one character is busy? How do they stay polite with each other even though it's a quick conversation? Listening Strategy Before listening to the audio for the first time, read the following Listening Strategy. Before you listen to a conversation between two people, look carefully at the people and the context to gather clues about what you're going to hear. Use these visual clues to figure out who's talking, where they're talking, and what they're talking about. Try to imagine the emotions they're experiencing. By thinking about this in advance, you'll find it easier to make sense of what the people are saying. Focus Point After you've listened to the audio several times, keeping the Listening Strategy in mind, listen to it once again and focus on the following points: What do you notice about the way Tiffany and Kara speak? Why do they speak this way? Who are they talking about? Which character thinks the situation will improve? Americans sometimes say, ''Let me see ... '' when they are looking for information or trying to remember something. The phrase indicates that the speaker is going to respond, but that he may need a moment to think or look for something. There are two types of conferences which are commonly used in business. In this scene, Mr. Donta says he's going to a tourism conference. This type of conference is a meeting of many people who have similar interests or who do similar work. Your company may send you to this type of conference so that you can attend workshops and seminars about your work. You may also enjoy social events. This type of conference may last a few days. Another type of conference is a meeting, usually at an office. In this type of conference, two or more people meet to discuss an issue in a formal way. Your boss may ask you to have a conference with him, for example, if he wants to discuss your salary. Maximum is sometimes shortened to ''max''. Mr. Donta could have said, ''Sixty minutes max'' without changing the meaning. This is informal. Before going on an interview, it's necessary to do your homework. This means that you should find out everything you can, on your own, about the company you'll be interviewing with. One way to accomplish this is to read the company's profile, which may be posted on the Internet, as Cool Beans is here. Another way would be to request a copy of the company's profile from the person who contacts you for the interview. For an interview in the U.S. a man usually wears a suit, tie, pressed shirt and dress shoes. The suit coat is usually buttoned until the man sits down, and then he unbuttons the bottom button of the coat. A woman has more flexibility in what she can wear for an interview. In most cases, it's appropriate to wear a suit, a dress or a skirt and blouse (often with a jacket) or a pantsuit; nothing in the outfit should be too tight or revealing. She should always wear hosiery and dress shoes. Maintain eye contact when speaking or listening to the interviewer. Here, Miles gazes around the room while the interviewer speaks; this could imply that he's bored and uninterested in what she has to say. Or, it could indicate that he is ''nosy'', or possibly nervous. A handshake should be firm and last approximately two seconds. Never bring food or a beverage to an interview. Likewise, don't chew gum or suck on mints/hard candies during an interview. However, the interviewer (or an assistant) may ask you if you'd like a cup of coffee or a glass of water; once offered, it would be appropriate to accept the drink. Most times, this offer is made as a gesture to make the person being interviewed feel more comfortable. In this scene, Miles doesn't specifically answer the question he's asked. Make every attempt to answer the interviewer's question as clearly and thoroughly as possible. If you don't know the answer, respond honestly by saying something such as, '' I'm not really sure'' or '' I'm afraid I can't answer that question right now. '' Here, Miles's answer is presumptuous and could be perceived as threatening to the interviewer. Answer honestly, but be careful of being too ''pushy''. Interviews should focus on the candidate's job experience and professional background, not on his/her personal life. In the U.S., it's unlawful to ask questions that aren't job related if the information could be used in a discriminatory manner. For example, an interviewer can't ask a candidate about marital/family status or religion. Here, the interviewer makes some small talk at the beginning of the interview to make Miles feel comfortable, but she quickly gets down to business, asking about Miles's job experience and his job-related goals. Expect to interview with more than one person in a company. A common interview process is to meet first with someone from the Human Resources (Personnel) department, and then to meet with people you would be working for or with. It's also common to have group interviews where several people interview you at the same time. Ellen asks Rick to close the door because she doesn't want to be interrupted. This is one of many reasons why an office door might be closed during a meeting. A door may also be closed for privacy when discussing difficult issues, when reprimanding someone (here, Rick is afraid that closing the door means he's going to ''get chewed out''), when discussing information that shouldn't be heard by other parties (such as '' We're firing Sam on Monday. '') or when people want to share personal information. When an office door is left open during a meeting, the implications are that it's OK to interrupt, or the meeting is going to be brief or someone else is expected to join in. In this scene, Rick is referencing a movie called ''On the Waterfront. '' In American culture, it's extremely common to quote movie lines and to refer to all types of movies. You can often understand a great deal about a text even if you don't know many of the words and phrases. The ones that you do understand are like clues to a mystery. In order to solve the mystery, put those clues together and add to them what you already know.
