Dialogue 1: Prejudice Against Jobs Li Hao: Andrews, a letter just came in from American Express for you Andrews: Thi Let's listen and read letter. They drive Li Hao: What are you talking about? Andrews: All these circular letters that are sent to my work address. Theyre all addressed to Mr s Andrews. Li Hao: Mr? Obviously they've made a mistake. Andrews: Yeah, they've found my name on some list of our company staff and assumed that l'm a man because r'm not a secretary
Li Hao: I think they’re probably just surprised. You have to admit there are so many more men than women who are leaders. Guess it’s because boys are brought up to be more ambitious. Andrews:Yeah, you may be right. Li Hao: How stupid! But doesn’t the company put Mr or Ms in front of names on its departmental lists? Andrews:Yeah, I think so. But perhaps because they are thinking I must be a man, they just ignore the Ms. That kind of thinking is so outdated though. I mean, I’m not the only woman who’s a head of department. Li Hao: It really shows prejudice against women, doesn’t it? Andrews:Sure does. There are so many people who think women aren’t suited to leadership jobs. You might not believe this, but when I tell some people I’m a head of a department, they laugh at me! Li Hao: Andrews, a letter just came in from American Express for you. Andrews:Thanks. Oh man…another circular letter. They drive me mad! Li Hao: What are you talking about? Andrews:All these circular letters that are sent to my work address. They’re all addressed to Mr S Andrews. Li Hao: Mr? Obviously they’ve made a mistake. Andrews:Yeah, they’ve found my name on some list of our company staff and assumed that I’m a man because I’m not a secretary. Let’s listen and read.
