【答案解析】[解析] M: Sarah, you work in the admissions office, don't you? W: Yes, I've been here for ten years as assistant director. M: Really? What does that involve? W: Well, I'm in charge of all the admissions of postgraduate students in the university. M: Only postgraduates? W: Yes, postgraduates only. I have nothing at all to do with undergraduates. M: Do you find that you get particular-sort of…different national groups? I mean, do you get large numbers from Latin America or… W: Yes. Well, of all the students enrolled last year, nearly half were from overseas. They were from African countries, the Far East, the Middle East, and Latin America. M: Em. But have you been doing just that for the last 10 years, or, have you done other things? W: Well, I've been doing the same job. Er, before that, I was secretary of the medical school at Birmingham, and further back, I worked in the local government. M: Oh, I see. W: So I've done different types of things. M: Yes, indeed. How do you imagine your job might develop in the future? Can you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing something… W: Oh, yeah, from October 1, I'll be doing an entirely different job. There's going to be more committee work.
