Lesson 2 Interviews Tapescript Woman: Good morning. Take a seat. Oliver: Good morning. Thank you. Woman: My name is Judith Wainwright. I'm the personnel manager for Camp Elizabeth Holidays. And you are Oliver Blackstone? Oliver: That's right. Woman: I see that you're in your last year at school. Oliver: Yes, I'm doing my “A” levels this summer. I hope to go to university to study civil engineering. Woman: So why do you want to work with us at Camp Elizabeth? Oliver: Well, your company has a good reputation. I know some people who have been to your camps and they say everything was well-organised. I enjoy working with children and I'd like to get some more work experience. Woman: What experience do you have? Oliver: I help with the youth club at school. I've organized sports and trips to various places – to concerts and plays and things like that. Woman: Mm, what qualities do you think are important for the job? Oliver: I'm sorry, what do you mean exactly? Woman: I mean, the qualities you need to work with children and organise sports and other activities. Oliver: Well, you certainly must have patience. A lot of patience! And another important thing is enthusiasm. You've got to show children that you enjoy things. And, well, you also have to be careful. Accidents can happen very easily, so you need to be well-organised. And of course you have to have good morals. Woman: OK, are there any questions you would like to ask me? Oliver: Er, yes, just one thing. Could you tell me what kind of accommodation there is for people working at the camp? Woman: Yes, most monitors have their own rooms, but some will have to share. We decide on the basis that the older monitors get the first choice. Oliver: Right, I see. Woman: Well, thank you, Oliver. I'll be getting in touch with people next week. Oliver: Thank you very much. Goodbye. Tapescript 1.Woman: What qualities do you think are important for the job? Man: (polite) I'm sorry, what do you mean exactly? 2.Woman: What qualities do you think are important for the job?
