people. But I do lots of typing and filing, too.

2--Oh, I enjoy meeting people. And I like answering
the phone. But I hate typing. And I can't stand
filing.
1--You can go to college, you know. Why don't you
study for a year?
2--What do you mean?
1--I mean, you can do a course in business studies.
After a year, you get a certificate. Then you can
apply for lots of different jobs.

1--Why don't you get a prospectus.

2--恩，忙极了。每天要接待很多人。还要打字、整理档案。

打字。档案工作太烦人了。

你可以拿到一张文凭。然后你就可以申请各种工作。
