【正确答案】[听力原文]
A: Hey, you know what? Our company is going to invite the Spark English to give the staff a language training course.
B: Really, that would be wonderful. Some of the staff really need to improve their English, especially their business English.
C: And what information should we offer to Spark English?
A: Well, I think we should tell them the numbers of staff going to take this course, and the real English level of our staff.
B: That is good, and I believe the information about their characteristics and their working hours is also useful.
C: Of course, and what about the Spark English? What information should we ask from them?
A: Oh, there are millions of questions such as how qualified the teachers are, whether they are professional business English teachers or company staff working as part-time teachers, how long the course is, etc.
B: And I want to know the style of their teaching.
C: Hey, here I have an idea. Why don't we arrange a party for the staff and the Spark English teachers? We can make them know each other before the course really starts.
B: Wow, that is amazing! I like your idea. In this way, they may make acquaintance with each other and this is a good chance for them to ask questions they would like to know.
A: OK. Since we have discussed all about this, let's get down to our work. I can't wait to see them.
C: Good. I'll give the Spark English a telephone call to talk about the plan.
Follow-on questions
· From my point of view, a company should provide the employees with trainings that can improve their professional skills and managerial abilities.
· It depends. For those courses that all staff should take, they should be compulsory, while other courses can be selective so that the staff can choose according to their own needs.
· For my part, I prefer a part-time system, because a full-time system will affect the daily routine of the staff.
· An outside agency may not know so clearly about the needs and characteristics of the employees, which can affect the result of the training.
· There are several ways to evaluate the effect of the training, holding professional exams, conducting surveys among the employees and evaluating the effect of the training in the daily work of the staff.
