和老外聊天的地道口語第128期:幹嘛這麼用功地學英語?!

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.85W 次


A: can we have dinner together?

G: sorry, I'll have to rush to my English class after work.

A: Oh, then how about tomorrow?

G: I'm terribly sorry that my classed are scheduled from Monday to Saturday.

A: that's all right. We can do it Sunday. But why do you study English so hard? You must be tired after a whole day's work. Why not simply take a break instead?

G: well, my work demands prompt me to learn English. Our company is planning to start a branch in Australia. I must prepare in advance since one day I may have to use English in my daily work.

A: oh, I see. You take the initiative to improve your English competency, and you have to pay the check, right?

G: absolutely. I have to do this, or someday I may lose the chance to earn my basic salary. Nowdays, when our company is recruting new employees, their English level is listed as an important criterion.

A: yeah, many companies are doing the same thing. They believe the lack of English-speaking personnel may hold back their plans of going global.


和老外聊天的地道口語第128期:幹嘛這麼用功地學英語?!


一起吃飯可以嗎?
對不起,下班了我得趕緊去上英語課.
好吧,那明天怎麼樣?
實在是對不起,我的課從週一一直排到週五.
沒關係,可以等週日嗎.你學英語怎麼這麼用功啊?上了一天的班,肯定挺累的,爲什麼不回家休息呢?
是這樣的,我的公司要求我去學英語.公司正計劃在澳大利亞開一家分公司,我必須提前準備,因爲我可能會在日常工作中用到英語.
哦,我明白了.你自己主動去學英語,提高英語水平,然後自己買單,是這樣嗎?
沒錯,我必須這樣做,不然有一天我可能連基本工資都拿不到了.現在公司招人的時候把英語水平作爲一個很重要的錄用標準,
是啊,很多公司都是這樣的.他們認爲如果少了英語人才,可能會阻礙公司國際化的進程.
