First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five on page five. 00:00:43,200 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 00:01:10,440 Hi, Ben. I have so much to tell you. 00:01:13,660 Me too. How did your internship go? 00:01:16,520 It was brilliant. I worked in a big department store. 00:01:20,220 I thought you were going into your family business. 00:01:22,840 Uh, I decided I'd learn more in a company where I wasn't the boss's daughter, so I went to this store in my hometown. When I was in high school, I was a sales assistant there for a couple of summers, and I still knew some people there, so it was easy to set up. Our professor recommended working in a manufacturing company, and I contacted a couple of firms, but it came to nothing. 00:01:49,660 And did you learn much that helped with our classes? 00:01:52,220 Sure. There was a big problem while I was working there. Do you remember a massive advertising campaign for a new brand of sunglasses a few weeks ago? 00:02:03,400 Yeah. 00:02:04,340 Well, sales rocketed, and we ran out. Customers started complaining, and I was asked to track down a supply. I had to call around the manufacturers and wholesalers until I could find a batch. I managed to find a local one. Then we had to pay them upfront as they weren't our usual supplier. But my boss was pretty pleased with me. We were only out of stock for a few hours in the end. 00:02:31,900 Great. So what was the best thing about your internship? 00:02:35,820 For one thing, my coworkers were very helpful. I learned a lot from them. 00:02:41,980 Mine were friendly enough, but I wouldn't say I picked up much from them. The only good thing about it was having to deal with issues that came up. Classes just don't prepare you for a lot of them. 00:02:53,380 Yeah, that's true. Like the fact that sometimes you have to do two or three things at the same time because they're all urgent. 00:03:01,640 That's right. 00:03:02,980 Anyway, how was your internship, Ben? You were with a garden furniture manufacturer, weren't you? 00:03:09,860 That's right. My experience wasn't very good, though. When I had an interview there a few months ago, they said I'd spend time in every section and sit in on meetings with clients. But hardly any of that happened. I was expected to spend most of my time filing papers and getting coffee for the managers. I was really annoyed. It wasn't even as though everyone was too busy to get their own coffee. 00:03:33,500 That's awful. 00:03:34,980 Yeah. Still, I got on okay with the other people there, so it wasn't as bad as it might have been. 00:03:41,620 Mm, I think the college should make sure students are placed in suitable companies for internships. Don't you? 00:03:49,120 Well, I like the current system where we arrange the internship ourselves, and then the college comes in and formalizes the arrangement. But they need to spell out the purpose of the internship and send the companies a list of their responsibilities. Too many businesses just think of us as free labor. 00:04:06,980 Yeah. And it would be helpful if we had a couple of classes where we can learn about the company. 00:04:13,400 Oh, I think it's easy enough to research that on the Internet. 00:04:16,680 Mm, maybe. 00:04:21,280 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty on page six. 00:04:53,880 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:05:00,880 Are you going to do anything about your internship, Ben? You wouldn't want anyone going to the same company next year and having a similar experience, would you? 00:05:10,640 No. 00:05:11,720 Were you the first intern they had from this college? 00:05:15,280 No. There's someone in the year above us who was there. I should have asked her about it before I went. 00:05:21,360 Well, I think the first step is to talk to her. Then you need to make some notes and discuss the problem with the professor. He can advise you whether or not to take it any further. 00:05:32,600 If I decide to take it further, I think I should then contact the company itself and find out if they have any feedback about my internship. 00:05:41,120 Yes. There may be a valid reason why it was so poor. 00:05:44,900 Maybe it makes more sense to write to the chief executive. 00:05:47,920 Mm, I wouldn't make it too formal at this stage. If the college makes the complaint, they'll write to the chief executive. I don't think you should. 00:05:57,060 Okay. So the person I had most contact with, my line manager. 00:06:01,680 That would be better. But if you're still not satisfied, contact whoever it is in the college who's in charge of our internships. It's the head of the department, isn't it? 00:06:12,860 It was. But the college appointed an internship program organizer last fall. I've got their name on some paperwork somewhere. 00:06:21,120 One other thing you might want to do after that is check the law on internships. 00:06:26,420 I'll talk to one of the college's student advisors in the department. She takes one of the same classes as me. 00:06:32,760 Okay. Let's hope there isn't any trouble with that. 00:06:38,920 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Lindsey chose to do her internship in a department store because 21 Lindsey chose to do her internship in a department store because - the professor suggested in the company - she had contacts in the company - the business was owned by her family **答案**：she had contacts in the company 原文定位：When I was in high school, I was a sales assistant there for a couple of summers, and I still knew some people there, so it was easy to set up ### 22. 22 What problem was Lindsey asked to solve in connection with sunglasses? 22 What problem was Lindsey asked to solve in connection with sunglasses? - a shortage of stock - a fall in the number of customers - a rise in the price **答案**：a shortage of stock 原文定位：Well, sales rocketed, and we ran out.
