W: guess what? I've got great news!


G: what is it?


W: well, you know how I've been working at the Economist 1 as a proof-reader, right?


G: yes.


W: well, the editor-in-chief heard that I had experience as an editor at another maganize and asked me if I was interested in becoming an assiatant editor for him.


G: really? That's fantastic! Will you get a chance to do any writing?


W: she said that the columnist 2 for the literary criticism column would be going on pregnancy 3 leave soon and that I could be in charge of the column until she came back.


G: wow! That's really great news. How often does the magazine come out?


W: it's a monthly magazine, but my column will be shared with another columnist so my articles will be due fortnightly.

W: yes, but I'm even more excited about getting my thoughts published again!


G: do you have any order forms here so that I can get a subscription 4 to the magazine?

W: me, too. Do you want to go out to celebrate my good news?

W: perhaps we could go to the library festival that's going on at the local bookshop.

哇!这真是好消息.这杂志多久出一期?

是个月刊,不过我的专栏要和另一个专栏编辑合作,所以我的文章大概两周出一次.

你还希望做更多的编辑工作吗?

你手头有没有征订单?这样我就可以预定这本杂志了.
