Hi, is this Daniel? It's Rachel from Brightline Recruitment.
2
Yes, speaking! Thanks for calling on time.
3
Is now still a good time for a quick chat?
4
Absolutely! I've been looking forward to it.
5
Great. The hiring manager loved your portfolio, by the way.
6
Oh, really? That's lovely to hear.
7
So, what made you apply for this role?
8
Well, I've been doing marketing for four years,
9
and I'm ready to lead a small team.
10
That fits perfectly. They need someone to hit the ground running.
11
That sounds like exactly what I'm after.
12
Okay, I have to ask about your salary expectations.
13
Um, right... that's always the tricky one.
14
Don't worry, just give me a rough range.
15
Well, I'm currently on forty-two thousand.
16
So I'd be looking for around fifty to fifty-five.
17
Hmm, fifty-five might be a stretch for this budget.
18
I see. What's the range they've approved?
19
They're thinking forty-eight, possibly fifty.
20
Oh... that's a bit lower than I'd hoped.
21
I understand. But the benefits package is very generous.
22
Could you tell me a bit more about that?
23
Sure! Two remote days a week and a yearly bonus.
24
Okay, that does make a real difference.
25
Well, would they consider fifty if I take on extra duties?
26
That's a fair question. I'll put it to them today.
27
And the good news? They want to see you on Thursday!
28
Wow, Thursday? That's fantastic news!
29
I'll email you the details this afternoon.
30
Thank you so much, Rachel. You've been really helpful.
31
My pleasure. Good luck, Daniel!

  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 package, bonus, helpful 这类单词。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
