The origin of the word «Yankee»

One day some Indians (come) came to New Plymouth and (see) saw the new settlers. The Indians (call) called the English people «Yankee», since they could not say the word «Eng­lish». After that the word «Yankee» (be) is the common term for people living in the part of America called New England. During the American Revolution the song ‘Yankee Doodle» (be) was popular. After the Civil War ‘Yankee» (be) was used to mean any person from the northern part of the United States. During the First World War, when many American soldiers (come) came to Europe, the word «Yankee» (become) became a general name for any American.

An Interview for a Job

These three girls have just been interviewed for a job, but only one will be chosen by the interviewers. During the interview they were asked a lot of questions, and then they were told to type out some business letters. They were also asked to send some messages by e-mail and fax, and use a computer.

Here are some notes the interviewers made while the applicants were answering their questions:

Sheila   Simpson.   Age   26.    Married. Two children. Had two years’ experience of work as a secretary with Byrd & Co. Ltd. Gave up the job when her second child was born. Doesn’t mind if we make inquiries about her at her former place of work.  Is fluent in French and German.

Alice Campbell. Age 28. Divorced. No children. Has a job as shop assistant in, a department store, but isn’t satisfied with it for two reasons:

1. a) finds it unpleasant to deal with some of the customers;
2. b) lives a long way from the store.

Lucy Davies. Age 19. Unmarried. No working experience. Was taught to type and operate a computer at school. An excellent figure and a lovely face! Could be a fashion model, but prefers a secretarial job as a start for her business career. Doesn’t mind answering personal questions,

Which of them would you give the job to? Why?

If I were a director, I would give the job to the second girl, because she has no children and it means that she will not be on the sick-list. She does not live a long way from the job and she will never be late for work. I think that she has good chances to be an ideal worker!
