　　M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts?

　　M: Which markets were you responsible for?
　　W: For Europe and Japan.
　　M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
　　W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators and tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.
　　M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?

　　M: Really, I’m interested to hear more about that, but first, tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example.
　　W: No I haven’t, but I have traveled on a glacier express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I’m very interested in this job.
