You will hear a telephone conversation between a young man who wants to get a summer job in the USA and an agent. 00:00:13,060 First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 00:00:42,700 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 00:00:50,460 Hi, USA Summer Camps, Nicola speaking. How can I help you? 00:00:55,120 Um, I want to get a job in the USA this summer, and I saw an advert on your website, and it said I should call this number if I wanted more information. 00:01:06,120 Right. So you're interested in working in a summer camp? 00:01:10,000 That's working with children, is it? 00:01:12,200 Yes. Lots of children go away to summer camp in the USA, and the jobs we're advertising are for what are called counselors. That means you're with the children the whole day, twenty-four hours. 00:01:24,960 Right. 00:01:26,500 So what would I be doing exactly? 00:01:29,020 Everything. You'd be working with them, playing with them, teaching them, everything. 00:01:35,260 Your ad said there were different sorts of positions, general and specialists. 00:01:41,080 Yes. For the general counselors, they're asking for people who have experience of working with children, but it has to be as a leader of some sort. 00:01:51,040 Hmm. I'm not sure. What I'm really interested in is sports. 00:01:56,540 You might be more interested in being a specialist counselor then. They focus on one particular area. It doesn't have to be a sport, but mostly it is. 00:02:06,860 Would tennis be okay for that? 00:02:09,259 Absolutely. You might find yourself coaching other sports as well, though. They do a big range usually. That's what most of the kids are interested in, and of course, a lot of it's outdoor stuff. 00:02:23,030 So they wouldn't be so interested in something like art? 00:02:26,640 Oh, yes, they would be. Anything you're enthusiastic about and can help younger kids with. 00:02:33,160 Okay. Well, I'd be really interested in working with kids in both those areas. Now, about times, uh, the ad said the job was for twelve weeks? 00:02:43,980 Eight, actually, but most people stay on in the US for another three or four weeks and go traveling. 00:02:50,720 Yeah, I'd really like to do that. There are lots of places I'd like to see in America. So when would I need to be there? 00:02:58,620 June. Then you carry on to August and do your traveling after that, so you're back home in September. 00:03:05,320 That's perfect. Well, that all sounds great, but about the job, do I just pick it up as I go along? 00:03:13,020 No, you get there a week before the kids arrive, and that time's spent on training, so you'll learn all about the camp and working with American children and dealing with homesickness, all that kind of thing. 00:03:24,740 Right. 00:03:27,340 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 00:03:39,360 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 00:04:07,480 And I presume I'd be okay as far as my age goes. I'll be 19 by then. 00:04:12,800 That's the minimum age officially, though they do occasionally accept people of 18 if they have special skills that are in demand. 00:04:20,660 And how much would I actually get paid? 00:04:23,380 You get a total of 985 US dollars. You get a couple of hundred dollars more if you're over twenty-one, but that won't apply to you, so you should end up with quite a bit of money to go traveling with when you're finished. 00:04:37,920 Great. There's tons I want to see: New York, San Francisco, the Grand Canyon. 00:04:44,540 But you do have to pay for your own insurance before you start out. That costs a hundred and thirty-eight pounds sterling. 00:04:51,320 That's in case I get ill or anything? 00:04:53,440 Yes, or you lose your luggage or have to cancel. 00:04:57,940 Right. And there was something in the ad about a check of some kind because I'd be working with children? 00:05:04,460 Yes, that's right. I forgot to mention that, and it's very important. You have to be checked by the police here in the UK, and that costs thirty-six pounds. 00:05:14,200 That's okay. Is there anything else I should know as far as money goes? 00:05:19,140 Well, just that if you register with us to work on the summer camp, you can go on a Discover America tour afterwards. A lot of camp counselors do that, and we can offer you a discount on that. And of course, you're bound to make lots of friends, so you'll have people to travel with. 00:05:34,480 Right. Well, I'm definitely interested in the whole thing. So what should I do next? 00:05:40,520 Well, I'll give you our website address, and you can fill in the application form. You can fill it in online or... 00:05:50,220 That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
