Module 8, exercise 4, page 75.0:00
Please have a seat, Mr. Berkeley.0:06
Now, let's see, how old are you?0:09
I've just turned 29, actually.0:12
There are two positions available.0:16
Are you applying for history teacher or English teacher?0:18
Because I see you can do both.0:21
I did some private English lessons while I was at university, but I'm a trained history teacher now, so I'm going for that position.0:23
And do you have much experience in this field?0:31
I've just finished university, actually, so no, I don't.0:34
But I have the qualifications.0:38
And I know that I have the qualities it takes to be a good teacher.0:41
Well, yes, I'm sure you do.0:45
But tell me, what do you think is the most important quality for a teacher?0:46
Of course, a teacher has to be punctual and organized, but.0:50
But above all, he must be patient with the kids.0:54
Punctuality is certainly a priority at this school for both teachers and kids.0:56
When would you be ready to start?1:01
That is, if we offer you the position.1:03
Not quite immediately, but in about a week.1:05
I just have to finish a few things.1:07
Well, we won't make a decision before next week anyway, so.1:10
My secretary will be in touch with you sometime next week if we need you.1:14
