W: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
M: Thank you.
W: First of all, Mr. Pitt,(23)I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.
M: Well, I took four subjects in school: French, German, Chemistry and, urn, Art. Chemistry wasn’t my cup of tea but Art always has been.
W: Art?
M: Well, I really wanted to study Art.(24)It didn’t turn out like that because a friend of my father offered me a job. He’s an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
W: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting!(23)In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
M: It was nearly a year, actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it. I just couldn’t seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the Art College to do a three-year diploma course.
W: I see. Now, Mr. Pitt, what about your hobbies and interests? Uh, what do you do in your spare time?
M: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don’t play, of course,(25)but I go to quite a lot of concerts, and I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I’m in the local dramatic society. I read quite a lot and I’ve done a bit of photography. Also, I’ve traveled a lot, hitchhiked all over Europe last year, that was...
W: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think that’s all I want to ask about your background.
