答案Interviewer: Well, Sun Hao and Wang Fei, the last part of this speaking test is a discussion task. Your discussion topic is on this task card. You have about 30 seconds to read it carefully. After you have read the task, you will have a discussion on the given topic. Your discussion time is around three minutes. OK? Now read your task card. Well. can you start your discussion now? I’m going to listen to you and then ask you to stop at the end of three minutes. Wang Fei: Well, I think one of the things our organization could do for these employees is to allow them relatively flexible working schedules, because like caring for a child, anything could happen while caring for an elderly parent. Sun Hao: You mean these employees could be forgiven if they are late for work when emergency occurs to their elderly parents? Wang Fei: Yeah. Sun Hao: But it would be very unfair to other employees who are not eligible for this benefit. Wang Fei: I know. I haven’t quite finished yet. I mean they could be forgiven for being late, on the condition that they must notify their supervisors in advance that they will bo late and must make up the time sometime during the next 30 days. Sun Hao: Oh, that’s exactly what I bed in mind. What do you think our organization should do if employees have to take a longer leave because of their elderly parents? Wang Fei: That’s a good question. What do you think? Sun Hao: Well, I think, in order to help them, our organization should allow them to take longer unpaid leaves of up to a certain amount of time, and also allow them to return to their present jobs and current salaries after that. Wang Fei: Good idea. Let’s come to the second point. What benefit should the employees with elderly parents to care for not expect to get? Sun Hao: Well, I think they should not expect any cash benefit. You know, they could only get help that is not cash-related. Wang Fei: Yes. and I think that... Interviewer: Do you think it’s necessary for a company to create such kind of benefit for its employees? Wang Fei: Yes. Most employees would have to face the problem of caring for elderly parents sooner or later. And without assistance, they would make mistakes on the job. And... Sun Hao: And some of them might even quit their jobs to care for their parents, se that their skills are no longer available to the organization at all. Sometimes, when this happens, it will cause a huge loss to the company. And I also think... Interviewer: Thank you, Sun Hao and Wang Fei. That is the end of the speaking test.
