Read the following interviews of Ratu (R), a market analyst, and Kaisar (K). They are being interviewed by ·a business magazine. Dialogue 1 A:So, what is your job exactly? R:I write market reports about the chemical industry. A:How do you do that? R:I talk to people in the industry. I read articles and obviously I follow the.markets. A:What sort of equipment do you use? R:Well, there are some good Internet sites which give a lot of information. In fact, sometimes there is too much information. And I also use teletext on my TV. My doctor says I spend too much time in front of the screen, but 1· don't really have a choice. A: Where do you work? R: I work at home near Oxford. When I lived in France I' had an office iA Paris, but I moved to England two years ago, and found I could do the job from home. I have a very small office with my fax, my phone, and my PC. In fact, it's not really big enough for me and all my equipment, but I manage somehow. · A: And do you work normal office hours? R: Yes. I start at about nine and work until three thirty. This gives me enough time to go and pick up the children. A: So, no business lunches? R: No, unfortunately. It's usually a quick sandwich in the kitchen; then back upstairs. It was nice before to have lunch with contacts or colleagues, but now I waste less time. Now, I only speak to colleagues on the phone. Sometimes it's too quiet in my office. A:So, do you prefer·the traditional way of working? R:It depends. I feel I work more efficiently at home because in mY,' office there are too many d[stractions, but I do miss the contact with colleagues. A: Thank you. Dialogue 2 A:You are a market analyse! believe. K:That's right. I work in Brussels and I analyse the petroleum market. A:What sort of office do you have? K:It's a very modern open-place office. It has workstations for about twenty people in one large area. A:Surely that's too many people? K:Not really. In the mornin'g there are usually about fifteen people,· but after lunch there are fewer. When you arrive you . take a space that is free. If you don't arrive early enough, you don't get the best places next to the window! A: lsn:t it very noisy? K: Not really. And any way it is good to hear other conversations. It helps you to know what's happening on different markets and with different customers. A: What about lunch? K: We usually take customers. and contacts to lunch. It's a good way of getting information. When I have enough data I write my reports. A: ·What sort of equipment do you have? K: Computer screens with direct online data from the markets. Everyone ha,s a laptop and a phone. That way they can work anywhere. A: So what are your normal hours? K: I start really early at about seven, and I finish at about eleven p.m. And then I go for a drink with my colleagues. I get .home at about nine, which my wife thinks it is too late!
