托尼嘉宾室

Tony Provolone: Hello and welcome again to another edition of Tony Talk. I'm Tony Provolone and with me today is guest Hiram. Hi Hiram, how are you?

Hiram: Hey, what's up cat!

TP: Hiram, why don't you tell us what's your name and what are you doing in China?

H: Well, you know, my full name is Hiram Finnegan O'Connor Jezebel Sullivan Chu. I've done a whole bunch of jobs like a typical foreigner I guess. I've taught, I've danced and now I'm at Crazy English working here with all the other editors and writers and you TP.

TP: So what's been the most satisfying of all the work that you've done in China so far?

H: Well, I mean, I love all the high-quality editing 1 that goes on here at Crazy English, but I think the food and the fashion and the friendship and that doesn't even include the things outside of Crazy English.

TP: Let's talk a little bit more about CE. What's it like working for this conglomerate 2 English language learning 3 company?

H: Well, you know, it's a powerful, powerful organization, and so you have to be careful about what you do sometimes, but overall 4 it's a great place to work and I enjoy working there very much.

TP: So what kind of things do you do at CE?

H: Well, I do a whole bunch of different things. I do some editing, I do some voice recording 5 and sometimes some writing, reading. I basically 6 do a lot of little things here that need to be done.

TP: What do you like to do once you're outside of work when you're finished?

H: Well, you know, I like to read Crazy English like all the other employees here. But I also like to go and see the other restaurants here in Guangzhou, since you know the food here is pretty good, I think, probably some of the best in China, and just visit some of the natural scenery surrounding Guangzhou.

TP: Do you like the food here?

H: It's good it's really different from say Shanghai or Beijing style, so it's a good contrast.

TP: Um, do you have any recommendations 7 for our readers since you're one of the editors here, and you see some of the work that we do and that they're reading?

H: Yeah, I hope that the readers enjoy Crazy English and that it helps them improve their English by listening and reading the magazine at the same time, and I encourage people to continue to write letters to the editors. All the editors like receiving letters here and it's a good way to practice your English and don't be afraid to make any mistakes.

TP: Thank you very much for coming in here! We know that you're a busy editor. You're at your desk all day editing and we appreciate your time. And we hope to see you again next time, and don't forget the next time you're reading Crazy English think about all us editors who are slaving away for your benefit.
