（A=Applicant   I=Interviewer）
Dialogue 1
I:  Come in, please.
A:  Good moring, Mrs Smith.
I:  Good moring. You are Mr. Sun, aren抰 you? Take a seat, please.
A:  Yes, thank you.
I:  I抳e noticed from your resume that you majored in accounting at Peking University. Will you please tell me something about your related courses?
A:  In the first academic year we learned Principles of Accounting, and in the following years we learned Cost Accounting, Commercial Accounting, Industrial Accounting, and Mangagement Accounting.
I:  Have you taken Accounting for Decision-Making and Control?
A:  No, we haven 5抰 taken such a course, but we have taken a more specialized 6 course for decision making, by the name of Forecasting and Decision-Making.
I:  From your school report card, I can see you did well in every course. But our advertisement says we need an accountant with practical work experience.
A:  I forgot to include my experience as an accountant in my resume. In fact, I took a part-time job as an accountant at the Atlantic Trading Company during my second and third school year. I worked three evenings a week there and I did quite well. Here is the recommendation.
I:  You can speak English fluently but I wonder if you can deal with bookkeeping and accounting in English.
A:  No problem. The professional English course is just English for Accounting. Moreover, as you know, the Atlantic Trading Company is a Sino-Australian joint 7 venture. When I served part-time there, I became well acquainted with accounting operated in English.
I:  That sounds fine. Why did you choose to apply to our company?
A:  I have a relative working as a manager in your manufacturing department. Her name is Liuling. She told me a lot about your company and I became quite interested. I believe I can have a promising career with the development of this company.
I:  Do you know something about the payment we give to our employees?
A:  No, can you tell me about it?
I:  Of course. As for an entry-level accountant, we pay ￥1,500 a month in the first half year. We have a grading system to evaluate your work. If you have made progress, we will certainly raise your salary. For beginners with a CPA certificate, they can earn at least ￥2, 000 a month.
A:  I have passed the five courses required by the Chinese CPA Association, but the certificate won抰 come to hand until next month. How about that?
I:  I hope you can show me your CPA certificate before we reach a decision by the end of July.
A:  Thank you, Mrs Smith. It is really a pleasure talking with you.
I:  The same for me. We抣l keep in touch with you.
A:  Thank you. Good-bye.
I: 请进。
A: 早上好，史密斯女士。
I: 早上好，你是孙先生吧？请坐。
A: 是的，谢谢。
I: 我从你的简历中知道你是北京大学会计专业的。能告诉我你都学了哪些相关课程吗？
A: 第一学年，我们学了《会计原理》，接下来的几年学了《成本会计》、《商业会计》、《工业会计》和《管理会计》。
I: 你学过《决策与控制会计》吗？
A: 没有，但我们学了一门更专业的有关决策的课程，名字叫《预测与决策》。
I: 从成绩单上可以看出你每门课程都学得很好，可我们广告上说我们需要有实际工作经验的会计师。
A: 我忘了在个人简历里写上会计经历了。实际上，在我的第二和第三学年，我在大西洋商贸公司做过兼职会计。我每周在那里工作三个晚上，而且做得很出色。这是他们的推荐信。
I: 你英语说得很流利，但我不知道你能否用英语记帐和清算帐目。
A: 没问题，我的专业英语就是会计英语，而且，你也知道大西洋商贸公司是一家中澳合资企业。我在那里做兼职时，就已经熟练掌握用英语进行会计操作了。
I: 听起来不错，那你为什么选择了我们公司呢？
A: 我有个亲戚在贵公司的生产部当经理，她叫刘灵。她告诉我许多有关贵公司的情况，我非常感兴趣。我相信随着公司的发展，我的事业也会大有前途的。
I: 你知道我们公司给员工的报酬情况吗？
A:不知道，你能介绍一下吗？
I: 当然，对初级会计师，前半年我们每个月支付1500元。我们有一个等级体系来评定你的工作。如果你进步了，我们肯定会增加你的薪水。有注册会计师证书的初级者，他们每个月至少能拿到2000元。
A: 我已经通过了中国注册会计师协会所要求的五门课程，但证书要到下个月才能拿到。那怎么办？
I: 我希望在我们7月末作出决定之前你能把注册会计师证书拿给我看看。
A: 谢谢你，史密斯女士。和你谈话真的很高兴。
I: 我也一样。我们会和你保持联系的。
A: 谢谢，再见。
