情景对话

M1: John, I'd like to see you in my office for a minute.

　　M2: Yes, sir, I'll be there in just a moment.

　　M1: John, I have been watching you. I've been paying attention to you over the last quarter and I'm impressed. You've done a tremendous job in tackling some difficult accounts. I just want to let you to know, after this month's performance reviews, I'm recommending you for promotion.

　　M2: Gosh sir, thank you, sir! I had no idea there were any positions opening up in our department.

　　M1: well, it's not going to be in our department.I've recommended you for an interdepartmental transfer. There's supervisory spot opening up in financial. I'm turning your name in for it.

　　M2: Management? Wow, I had no idea I could move so quickly from entry level to managerial staff.

　　M1: you've earned it.
