W: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
M: Thank you.
W: First of all. Mr. Pitt, (23)I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.
M: Well, I took four subjects in school: French, German, Chemistry and, um, Art. Chemistry wasn’t my cup of tea but Art always has been.
W: Art?
M: Well, I really wanted to study Art. (24)It didn’t turn out like that because a friend of my father offered me a job. He’s an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
W: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting! (23) In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
M: It was nearly a year, actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it. I just couldn’t seem to get
interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the Art College to do a three-year diploma course.
W: I see. Now, Mr. Pitt, what about your hobbies and interests? Uh, what do you do in your spare time?
M: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don’t play, of course, (25)but I go to quite a lot of concerts, and I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I’m in the local dramatic society. I read quite a lot and I’ve done a bit of photography. Also, I’ve traveled a lot, hitchhiked all over Europe last year, that was...
W: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think that’s all I want to ask about your background.
23. What might be the relationship between the two speakers?
24. Why didn’t Mr. Pitt study Art immediately after he left school?
25. Which is one of the things Mr. Pitt does in his spare time?
