ok, Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.
Candidate A, listen carefully while Candidate B is speaking. When he/she is finished, I’d like you to ask him/her a question about what he/she has said.
Candidate B, would you like to begin now, please?
Candidate B:(Three minutes)
The calendar on the wall shows that it is Saturday., but the mother is still sitting in the front of the computer doing her work. A little girl, about six to seven years old, is standing beside her mother. She is holding a doll in her one hand, which looks angry, and using the other hand pulling her mother’s sleeve, begging, “you promised me to take me to the Children’s palace this weekend, yes?” The little girl is sad with tears in her big eyes. The mother is worried and regretful, but still holding her work.
In the modern society, people have more and more pressure from many sides. We are trying our best to work, as if many people have been deprived of time to get together with families and children. But we should take a right attitude towards life and career. We can’t sacrifice entertainment to work. We can’t get the sense of achievement in our work at the price of being far away from family members. If we try, we can find we do have time to entertain ourselves. Actually, “all work without playing makes Jack a dull boy”. It is a great pleasure to enjoy the family life.
Interlocutor:
Thank you. Now, Candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?
(Half a minute for asking and answering the question)
A. In your opinion, how should we do to keep the balance between work and family?
B.First, we should put the two in the right places. They are usually of the same importance for us, but they can nerve replace each other. The most important is that we should do the right things in the right time. Second, don’t take being together with the family as a waste of time. Realize the value of the pleasure of staying at home. Last but not the least, we should organize time efficiently. To make the most of your office time, and try to finish your work during your time if possible and don’t take work home. Even you have to do your work at home you should try your best to spare some time with your family.
Thank you. That is the end of the test.
