A. How to Write a Resume?

Liz is going to graduate from her university. She goes to talk to Professor Kunts, a foreign teacher in her university, about how to write a resume in English to apply for a job in a foreign company in China.
Kunts: Hi, Liz, take a seat. What can I do for you?
Liz: Thank you. I'm graduating, and I need a resume to apply for a job in a foreign company. Could you tell me how to write a resume?
Kunts: Sure. Your resume should start with your name, sex, age, address and telephone number. Secondly³, you should also include the education you have received, experience you have had, and foreign languages you have studied.
Liz: Is that all?
Kunts: No, you may also put in your hobbies and any other personal factors. They might be useful, too. Besides, you should also include the major job objective⁴ you have in mind.
Liz: Thank you very much, Professor Kunts. See you tomorrow.
Kunts: See you.

B. Is My resume All Right?

Liz has prepared her resume, and now she is talking to Professor Kunts about it.
Liz: Good morning, Professor Kunts. I have written my resume. Could you go over it and see if I need to make any changes?
Kunts: Certainly. You have studied for two years in this university, attended No. 8 Middle School in Binhai, and had some work experience as well.
Liz: Yes. I have worked as Chairman of the Student Union since I came to the university, and I did a part-time job as a managing assistant in my vacation.
Kunts: From your resume, I can see you are good at both English and German. I believe you're likely to get what you want, an assistant manager's position.
Liz: Thanks for your encouragement. So my resume is all right?
Kunts: Sure. Good luck, Liz!
Liz: Thank you, bye!
