## 题目原文

00:00:00,500 
 Section two. 
 00:00:02,500 
 You'll hear an HR representative of Earn and Learn giving some information about her company. 
 00:00:09,200 
 First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to sixteen. 
 00:00:25,340 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen. 
 00:00:52,460 
 Welcome to all of you. Can everybody see and hear me? Good. I’m Sarah Conor, an HR representative of Earn and Learn. I have been asked today to talk to you about our company. So for those of you who don't know very much about the company, let me start by giving you some basic information about it. Earn and Learn started nearly twenty years ago. It is not a charity, but a for-profit company that enables promising entrepreneurs to make money while traveling. During the past ten years, it has grown rapidly and has gained great influence in most countries of the world. We have a partnership with the school and take a large number of recent graduates from the business school. So if you are a recent graduate, I’d say you can consider applying to our company. 
 00:01:43,540 
 Before your application, you might be curious about what sort of places you could go to. There are four main locations, but you also have the freedom to submit a different location, and if they can make the necessary arrangements, you can go. 
 00:01:58,920 
 The first country Earn and Learn established locations was the US, where you may choose from multiple locations as long as you can commit to their more rigid schedule of August to December. Also, you could do the Australia internship. That one is really cool. You work at a wildlife shelter and learn about the business practices of nonprofit organizations. You do have to be willing to commit eight months for that one, though. 
 00:02:27,640 
 Perhaps that’s a long time to be so far away, but I would say it is really an amazing opportunity. 
 00:02:35,320 
 I don’t know whether some of you are in decent physical shape. If so, the South Africa internship is another exciting one. You learn a lot about sustainable farming, but you would be doing some of the manual labor involved in maintaining a farm. 
 00:02:52,120 
 Indeed, it’s hard work, but I think you would definitely be able to do it. It may be wise to wait until after their summer is over, so it’s not so terribly hot. In addition, there is a most recently established location in India. This one gives you more of a study abroad feel, given that they arrange a host family for you to stay with. 
 00:03:14,940 
 In the other locations, you live in an apartment with other interns, so this is definitely a unique experience. 
 00:03:25,800 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty. 
 00:03:52,180 
 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 
 00:03:59,360 
 Regardless of where you go, at the end of the program, you get a global traveling certificate, as long as you can explain your experience. You can provide a written log of what you did. 
 00:04:11,560 
 I recommend writing journal or blog entries about what you do every day or a weekly summary of each day. Of course, you don’t have to write up a formal report or anything like that, and you need to apply for it once you have returned. 
 00:04:27,160 
 Some students may want to know whether this is a paid internship. Actually, you have to pay for the flight there yourself. But you have the opportunity to create your own small business, which could earn you money if it’s successful. So basically, you pay for it all up front, but when you’re there, you can find ways to make money. That is to say, you pay for two-thirds of the cost up front as a deposit and then give the final installment one month prior to your return. Finally, I have to remind you that you need a health check before you go to make sure you’re not going to spread any communicable diseases. In addition, before you go, you don’t have to attend any meetings or workshops. You’ll meet everyone you’ll be working with once you get there. 
 00:05:15,480 
 Okay. Well, that’s all I’ve time for today. Thanks for listening, and I’m happy to take any questions if you have them. 
 00:05:26,660 
 That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers. 
 00:06:01,980 
 Now turn to section three.
