话说Ballito先生的秘书Opal是非常的忙。She has to answer letters, take messages, arrange appointments and answer the telephone. 因此Ballito 先生认为该给这位好秘书找一个助手。他决定在报纸上登一个招聘广告。现在Opal正在帮Ballito 先生起草广告。
MR BALLITO:
Opal.
I want to advertise for a new junior.
OPAL:
A new junior?
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
a new junior secretary.
You have to spend so much time on the telephone that you need someone to help you in the office.
OPAL:
That'
s a good idea.
Then I can spend more time dealing with correspondence.
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
and if you spend more time on correspondence,
I'
ll have more time to visit customers.
OPAL:
And the firm will do more business.
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
and if the firm does more business,
it'
ll make more money.
OPAL: (
LAUGHING)
And we'
ll all get more pay.
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
perhaps.
Anyway let'
s start by getting a new junior secretary.
We can put an advertisement in the daily newspaper.
OPAL:
Right,
what shall we say in it?
MR BALLITO: (
DICTATING)
Erm ...
Junior Secretary wanted,
Oh,
in block capitals.
Then,
Em ...
A vacancy exists for a junior secretary in a medium-
sized firm.
Applicants,
should be,
shorthand-
typists with knowledge of secretarial duties.
Normal.
What about that?
OPAL:
I think it would be a good idea to put "
office practice"
instead of "
secretarial duties."
MR BALLITO:
Do you?
Why?
OPAL:
Well,
if she'
s worked in an office,
she will know about office practice.
But she may not know anything about secretarial duties.
MR BALLITO:
Yes.
Yes,
you'
re quite right.
Put "
Applicants should be shorthand-
typists with knowledge of office practice".
Secretarial training provided.
OPAL:
Oh,
I see.
If she wants to know anything special,
I'
ll explain it to her.
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
yes.
Now should we ask applicants to phone or write?
OPAL:
Oh,
phone,
I think.
You can find out a great deal about someone from their telephone manner.
Oh,
and what about languages?
MR BALLITO:
Well,
anyone who uses the telephone in business should be able to speak at least one foreign language -
we'
d better put "
Knowledge of one foreign language essential"
somewhere.
Oh,
and will you mention that when you are interviewing the applicant.
Now,
read out the advertisement.
OPAL:
JUNIOR SECRETARY WANTED -
in block capitals.
Then Um.
A vacancy exists for a junior secretary in a medium-
sized firm.
Applicants should be shorthand-
typists with knowledge of office practice.
Secretarial training provided.
Knowledge of one foreign language essential.
Telephone Dongali 52364
and ask for Miss Opal Karli.
MR BALLITO:
Yes,
now that'
s all right.
Type it out and send it to the "
Dongali Times".
OPAL:
When do you want it to appear?
MR BALLITO:
Oh,
in Friday'
s issue,
I think.
Thank you Opal.
Thank you.
