Skill of Language
Serena: Most of our customers are foreigners. How many foreign languages can you speak, Pamela?
Pamela: Two. French and Spanish .
Serena: And how well can you speak them?
Pamela: Well, French was my best subject at school. I can read and write it pretty well.
Serena: And how about your Spanish?
Pamela: Well, it's not as good as my French. I can speak it reasonably well, but my written Spanish isn't very good.
Serena: I see. Well, we have a lot of Spanish customers, but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here.
Pamela: In that case, I'm fit for the position, I think.
Serena: Yes, I think so. Our company begins to expand into Asia. Can you speak Chinese or Korean ?
Pamela: Yes, I can speak Chinese, but not very well.
Serena: Where did you learn it?
Pamela: At school. And I'm still learning it now.
Serena: How long have you been learning it?
Pamela: About three years.
Serena: That's terrific. I hope you can do someday.
Pamela: I'll do my best.
语言能力
塞丽娜: 我们的大多数客户是外国人。你能说几种外语?
帕梅拉: 两种。法语和西班牙语。
塞丽娜: 说得好不好呢?
帕梅拉: 嗯,在学校我最好的科目是法语。我能读和写的很好。
塞丽娜: 西班牙语呢?
帕梅拉: 噢,那不如我的法语。我可以说相当不错,但我的书面西班牙语不太好。
塞丽娜: 我明白了。哦,我们有很多的西班牙客户,但在这里你不需要写任何西班牙语。
帕梅拉: 在这种情况下,我想我很适合这个职位。
塞丽娜: 我想是的。我们的公司开始向亚洲扩张。你会讲中文或者韩语吗?
帕梅拉: 我会讲一些中文,但讲得不是很好。
塞丽娜: 你在哪里学的?
帕梅拉: 在学校里。我现在还在学。
塞丽娜: 你学了多久了?
帕梅拉: 大约三年。
塞丽娜: 那真是太好了。我希望有朝一日可以用的上。
帕梅拉: 我会努力的。
