M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts?

W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. (23题考点) They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very high standard.

M: Which markets were you responsible for?

W: For Europe and Japan.

M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?

W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage. (24题考点)

M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?

W: Yes, I've had a lot. Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.

M: Really? I'm interested to hear more about that. But first tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train, the Orienting Express for example.

W: No, I haven't. But I've traveled on the Glacier Express to Switzerland, and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That's why I am very interested in this job. (25题考点)
