【新編劍橋商務英語初級】5.1 職業(yè)轉變

Excuse me. Could you pass me a plate? Sure. You're Petra Schein, aren't you? Yes, I am. I thought so.

I seem to remember that one of your hobbies was photography. It was a real passion. You do have a good memory! So what happened?

And what about you? Are you still in human resources? Yes, I am. I've moved to the head office, and I'm the manager there. So now I'm even busier than ever ...
