[Office background sounds - tiếng động trong văn phòng ở phía sau]

Interviewer: Certainly. How far back would you like me to go?
Interviewer: Tell me about the two jobs you held before your current job.
White: All right. Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an assistant manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey. I was in charge of scheduling workers on the assembly line. Then at the end of 1994 I took a position as general manager with Ace Foods. I held that position until I moved to my current position in 1997.
Interviewer: And what were your responsibilities as general manager?
White: As general manager, I made sure production schedules were met.

Vietnamese explanation

Trong phần kế tiếp, chúng ta chú ý vào phần vụ - JOB HISTORY=mô tả quá trình công việc mình.
Xin ôn lại mấy câu đã học.

-How far back would you like me to go?=Bà hay ông muốn tôi kể ngược lại từ đoạn nào trong quá-trình công-việc của tôi?
-How far back=lùi lại bao xa.
-I was an assistant manager at a food processing plant=tôi làm phụ tá quản đốc trong một xưởng chế biến thực phẩm.
Nhận xét chữ SCHEDULE (danh từ)=thời biểu; và động từ TO SCHEDULE= phân phối công việc theo thời biểu. Trong câu sau đây “scheduling” là động từ. I was in charge of scheduling workers on the assembly line= tôi lo việc xếp đặt công việc cho công nhân trên đường dây chuyền sản xuất. Trong câu sau đây “schedules” là danh từ.
-As general manager, I made sure production schedules were met=trong chức vụ quản đốc tổng quát, tôi phải lo sao cho việc sản xuất được đúng kỳ hạn.
Trong đoạn tới, quí vị nghe rồi lập lại, trước hết lập lại từng đoạn ngắn. Sau đó lập lại cả câu.

Gary: What was Ms. White's job title?
-She was assistant manager.
Where did she work?
-Ms. White didn't give the name of the company, but she said she worked at a food processing plant in New Jersey.

Listen again to part of the dialog, and answer these two questions:

Let's listen.
White: Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an assistant manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey. I was in charge of scheduling workers on the assembly line.
