First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 00:01:18,320 Hi, Shona. 00:01:19,820 Hi, Peter. Have you made up your mind about which internship program to apply for? 00:01:26,320 Yes, pretty much. 00:01:28,280 I'm entirely at a loss. I mean, there are so many good ones. Can you give me some tips? 00:01:35,800 Sure. 00:01:36,880 What is your top priority when weighing up these programs? 00:01:41,880 Well, I guess I'd go for ones that can help me with the skill set I lack for my future career. I still need a lot of practical training in dealing with statistics. But keep in mind that you don't want to set your goal too grand, like drawing up a business plan. You might end up nowhere. 00:02:01,540 I see. So I want to learn how to organize ideas and present them. 00:02:08,080 Good. Now you've nailed step one. 00:02:11,380 Now what? 00:02:12,780 You must also consider your strength for a suitable internship program. Otherwise, you might get rejected or end up with one that you are incapable of doing. 00:02:23,900 But I have no idea what I'm good at. 00:02:27,400 Communicate with people around you or whom you've worked with. That's what I did. I thought I was a good team leader, but many people I've worked with for various projects mentioned something else. They admire that I could work around the clock to finish projects on time. And indeed, I'm more focused and perform better when I'm pushed for time. 00:02:51,680 Good point. So what do you plan to do next? 00:02:55,900 I'll visit the careers officer to help me with the school application form. You know, the one we have to submit before applying to companies. 00:03:05,260 But it is unnecessary to fill it in. It's only optional. 00:03:10,100 Really? I'm glad I heard from you. Then I'll ask the careers officer to look at my personal statement and give me some tips on polishing it up. 00:03:20,220 Don't you need help with your CV? 00:03:23,160 No, I'm good. I have already learned to write it in class. 00:03:27,620 That's good. So what kind of company did you choose? 00:03:32,280 I've decided to apply for an IT company. 00:03:35,620 Why is that? 00:03:37,340 Well, even though I've learned how the IT industry developed in the past from different lectures, I know nothing about its latest trends. I'm prepared to work in an IT company and fill in the information gap. 00:03:52,120 I see. What do you plan to do next term? 00:03:56,420 I think I'll stick to most of the optional modules I've chosen. But regarding the language sessions, I'm doing poorly in Japanese. I'd better drop it before wasting more time. I think I'll learn Spanish instead. 00:04:11,320 Oh, I learned Spanish for a year. I think you'll find it interesting. 00:04:19,200 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:05:13,980 Do you know what job opportunities these companies offer interns? 00:05:19,240 I've searched online and browsed some of the schemes. Do you know SAIC? 00:05:24,940 Yes. I heard they offer internship positions dealing with customer interaction management, but I'm not quite sure what that means. 00:05:35,200 Well, the position offers the chance to become fully aware of customer value and keep in touch with customers to keep them highly engaged and satisfied. These include activities such as PR, communications, marketing, and customer service. 00:05:53,300 Sounds like loads of work to do. What about Gemini Technologies? 00:05:59,420 It's an IT consulting company. Although many employees say it's stressful working there, I want to apply for this one. 00:06:08,040 Why is that? 00:06:09,670 Actually, the company provides service to improve software architecture, but that's pretty demanding as a team of software engineers has to provide detailed analysis and suggestions for required changes before the deadline. As an observer and participant of a particular project, an intern can learn how to work to a strict deadline. 00:06:33,840 That's not my area of expertise, but I'm sure you'll excel at this. 00:06:40,100 I certainly do hope so. Have you checked out Deloitte? 00:06:44,500 Of course. That's a renowned accounting firm, and thus its internships offer excellent learning experiences in this regard. You know, things like examining a company's financial statements, the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. I want to give it a try, but I might get rejected, so I need a backup plan. Have you read anything about Kearney? 00:07:14,380 Yes. It is another consulting firm. It provides opportunities to reach out to other business partners and pay attention to networking. 00:07:23,760 Well, that sounds interesting. 00:07:26,440 I'm thinking about Vortex, but I haven't got anything useful from its website. 00:07:32,080 I worked there last summer. It's an international company with headquarters in Spain, so most of the managers here speak Spanish. Thanks to the internship experience, I became fluent in it. 00:07:46,720 Right. That's not for me. 00:07:51,520 That is the end of part three. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 What skills does Peter want to learn? 21 What skills does Peter want to learn? - how to organise ideas - how to handle data - how to write a business proposal **答案**：how to handle data 原文定位：Well, I guess I'd go for ones that can help me with the skill set I lack for my future career.
