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

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.
