　　M: Hello, Milton Hotel Reservations. How may I assist you?

　　W: Hi, I’m calling to make some changes to an existing reservation.

　　M: Certainly. Do you have the reservation number?

　　W: Sure, it’s 219.

　　M: That’s a reservation for Sally Menkel. Is that right?

　　W: Yes, that’s right. I’d like to change the check-in date from September 15 to September 16.

　　M: Certainly. I can make that change for you. Is that the only change?

　　W: No, the check-out date will also change from the 23rd to the 24th.

　　M: No problem. We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving the 24th of September — altogether, eight nights. Will there be anything else?

　　W: Yes. Instead of a courtyard room, I’d like a room with a view, preferably on an upper floor.

　　M: I can certainly change that for you, but there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $199 per night, instead of the original $179.

　　W: Gordon, I’m going to Keswick in the Lake District this weekend.

　　M: Really?

　　W: Yeah, five of us. Why don’t you join us? We’re getting to Keswick on Friday. Then we’re going boating on Saturday. And on Sunday, we’re going to do some shopping. Then I will take some time to visit my aunt Lucy.

　　M: You’re not going to camp, are you? Isn’t it a bit cold?

　　W: No, we’re not. It is a bit cold. We’re staying in a country inn. It’s not like five-star hotels or anything. But it’s really comfortable.

　　M: Hmm, sounds interesting. You know, it’s the boating that I don’t like.

　　W: Well, what are you up to?

　　M: Sit on my sofa all weekend and watch the DVDs I’ve just bought. And that will be a busy weekend. I may finish watching Friends.

　　W: I don’t know how you can do that all weekend, Gordon. I’d get bored.

　　M: I know, I know. But that’s really what I want to do.

　　M: Hello. Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.
