外教讲解地道美语 第229期:谈论背景

Mr. Parsons: Now, Miss Childs passed on your resume to me and I’ve had the chance to look it over and I must say I’m quite impressed.

Rebecca:Thank you very much. I’ve tried to keep it short and clear.  If there’s any questions please feel free to ask me.

Mr. Parsons:  Well yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview I’d like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.

Rebecca:Yes, of course. Well as you can see from the resume I’m up and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around rook.

Mr. Parsons:  Ah I see, so you were actually educated in Europe?

Rebecca:Yes precisely. Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home. But as you see I’ve actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country. My Father was in the oil business before he retired so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia too.

Mr. Parsons:  Very interesting.  So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.

Rebecca:Absolutely!  We were never still for too long. But now I’m really looking to settle down.

Mr. Parsons:I see.  Okay, well let’s move on to discuss your education shall we?

Rebecca:Sure.
