(B= Mr. Brown W= Wang Xiaowei)

B: Why do you want to be a tourist guide?

W: I have been interested in Chinese and world geography ever since I was child. I also like foreign cultures very much. That's why I chose English literature as my major when I entered the university.

B: I think you like travel, too.

W: Oh, yes, very much. I'm quite outgoing and like meeting people. During my trips, I often work as a volunteer guide to help those foreign tourist enjoy their trips better. I feel very proud when I introduce our long and rich culture to foreign tourists. Of course, it's a chance for me to practise my English. So I do have a little experience as a guide.

B: But you know to be a guide is a tough job.

W: Certainly, it is very demanding. But I don't mind. After all it is a job I like to do.

B: Besides English, what other languages can you speak?

W: A little Japanese and German. I can speak Cantonese, too, for I was born and brought up in Guangzhou.

B: It's very impressive. Mr. Wang, if you are hired, you'll be expected to receive some training in tourism business.

W: That's fine.

B: Would you please fill out this application form and give it to the secretary? We'll inform you very soon.

W: Thank you, Mr. Brown, for your time and patience. Good-bye.

B: Good luck. Bye.
