Question 12 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

M: Good morning, Mrs. Thomson.

W: Oh, Mr. Minizuka. Please come in and sit down. (12) I want to talk to you about something that has come up.

M: What's up? Anyway, I'll be glad to help you with anything I can.

W: (12) Some advice, Mr. Minizuka. I have been offered a new job.

M: A new job?

W: As a matter of fact, it isn't the bank in New York.

M: It's the offer from another bank?

W: (12) It's from the international bank for reconstruction and development in Washington.

M: (13) You mean the World Bank?

W: (13) That's right. And it's really very unexpected, I must say.

M: You've established reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they've offered you?

W: (14) A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the international finance corporation.

M: (14) Isn't that the part of the bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?

W: (14) Yes, it is. It's a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.

M: (15) It seems to me that it's a real honor for you.

W: Yes, it is. But I've been with this bank for so many years. Ever since I graduated from college, in fact.

M: (15) But it's an honor for the bank, too, for the training and experience it's given you.

W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.

M: Then, you've decided to accept the offer?

W: Probably, yes. Almost certainly. I'd like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international cooperation and understanding.
