M: Maria, what can you tell us about your plans for the future?
W: Well, I (1) (consider) taking a year out after I graduate. You know, I maybe travel around the world and see some different countries.
M: (2) do you hope to gain from traveling?
W: I’ve always been interested in seeing different places and (3) (experience) different cultures, so it will give me a chance to experience these things first-hand rather than read about them in a book. But I also think that the experience I gain will help me find a good job when I come back.
M: Can you explain (4) you think traveling will help you find a job?
W: Well, the modern business environment is changing. Therefore, to be (5) (success) in one’s life, it is important to be able to accept changes.
M: What do you mean?
W: I mean that you (6) change your attitudes and even working habits to suit the ever-changing environment. And (7) you’ve spent some time traveling, it means that you have to get used to different ideas and ways of doing things as well as simpler things, such as food and climate.
M: Er...It sounds reasonable.
W: I also believe that traveling will teach (8) (my) to be independent as well as value other people.
M: Why do you believe traveling will help you to value other people?
W: As you know, when you’re traveling you can’t get help from your family, (9) you have to depend on your friends, or even turn (10) strangers.
M: Oh, I see. You’re right, Maria.
