在Miss Melita Fagurian 电话应聘过后，Opal小姐就和她的上级Mr Ballito 谈了她的情况。下面是他们之间的对话。

OPAL: Mr Ballito.

MR BALLITO: Yes, Opal.

OPAL: A Miss Melita Fagurian telephoned this morning in answer to our advertisement for a Junior Secretary.

MR BALLITO: What did she sound like?

OPAL: She sounded very nice on the telephone. She spoke¹ very clearly. She has been working as a shorthand-typist at the National Bank for the last two years.

MR BALLITO: Did you ask her to come for an interview?

OPAL: Yes, she's coming next Thursday at four o'clock.

MR BALLITO: Good. Have you sent her a copy of our Conditions of Service?

OPAL: Yes, she asked about salary and hours of work, so I said I would send her a copy.

MR BALLITO: Fine. And have you sent her an application form?

OPAL: Yes, I have, and she's going to bring it with her when she comes for an interview next Thursday.

MR BALLITO: Good. When she arrives, give her a short dictation and typing test. Let me know how she gets on with it. If you think she's satisfactory², I'll interview her myself.

OPAL: Very well, Mr Ballito. If all goes well, I'll bring her to meet you at half-past four.
