W: Good morning. Sit down please, Mr. Johnson. M: Thank you, madam.W: I have read your letter here. You seemed to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work?M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were arts subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable.W: That39。s true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job?M: Well, madam, I understand that you manufacture puters, prepare software, and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right? W: That39。s right.M: And I39。ve been told that working with puters needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That39。s especially true, I believe, when it es to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well. W: So, you would like to write material for puters, would you?M: Yes, madam. That39。s what interests me most about puters writing programs, but I think the puter industry itself is still expanding enormously. I39。m sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good no matter what sort of job I went into. W: I see, well, thank you. I39。ve enjoyed our talk. We39。ll be writing to you.M: Thank you, madam. Good morning.2. W: Excuse me. Could I ask you some questions? M: Of course.W: I work for an advertising agency and I39。m doing some research.
