初试
1.In this part, the interlocutor asks questions to each of the candidates in turn. You have to give information about yourself and express personal opinions.
1. What do you think of telephone sales?
Actually, in China, telephone sales is not accepted by the public and is not a popular method of selling products, but in the western world it is a different picture. Because Chinese people may consider it quite disturbing. Personally I don’t like such a method of selling products and it is very hard to figure out what the speaker is saying through the phone call, let alone remembering a large deal of complicated figures when introducing the product.
