Convincing a friend Step 1: finding information Page 26 A (Tapescript) Host: In the past decades, many people went abroad to pursue their studies or find a job, and did not return to China. What we are discussing today is how this trend has changed, with many people now returning to China. I’d like to welcome Mr Zhu, who will tell us about his experiences abroad. Zhu Lin: Thank you. When I graduated from university, I looked at the other graduates who also wanted jobs, and I thought, what makes me special or better than they are? I realized that in order to really get a good job, I needed more training. Back then, many of the best places to get certain special degrees were outside of China. I did research and found a university course in the UK that was perfect. Zhu Lin: I lived in the UK for five years. After I received my degree, I was offered a job in London. I thought about coming home to China, but eventually felt that I couldn’t refuse the position. I also thought that after working in a Western country and learning how they do things, I could bring that knowledge back to China and become a more valuable worker. Host: Why did you decide to come back? Zhu Lin: By then, international companies had opened offices in China and I felt that there were new opportunities for work. I started calling companies in Shanghai and Beijing to find work before I left, and found a new job only a few weeks after returning. Do you know what the funniest thing is? Host: No. what? Zhu Lin: I stayed abroad because I thought I’d have better opportunities and more money, but my job here is much better than the one I had in London! Host: We have to take a break now, and when we come back, we’ll take phone calls from viewers at home.
