Two people are discussing the mayor’s speech. 

两个人在谈论市长的演讲。 

 

A: Hi, Janice. 

 

 

B: Hi, Steve. What’s new? 

 

 

A: I’ve just heard a speech by the mayor. He’s an excellent speaker. His speech today was very powerful. 

 

 

B: Yes, he’s a good man. I like him. Although I don’t always see eye to eye with him. I still respect him very much. 

 

 

A: There’s one good thing about him: he isn’t behind the times. He knows this is the 21st century 

 

 

B: I like the way he got right down to business. He’s a man of action. Right from the start. He doesn’t waste time talking about problems. He likes to solve them. 

 

 

A: That’s true. He made a point of going to work immediately. The city has made a lot of progress since he’s been the mayor. 

 

 

B: He’s very independent. He doesn’t rely on others. He finds out everything first hand. Then he takes steps to improve the situation. That’s what I admire in a leader. 

 

 

A: He’s the right man for the job. 

 

 

B: I couldn’t agree with you more. 

 

 

A: Next time he gives speech I’ll ask you to come along. 

 

 

B: That would be great. Thanks a lot.
