　　V. Oral Practice

　　Training Opportunities

　　l How important is it to you to be offered opportunities for training in a job?

　　參考答案：

　　It’s very important because ongoing training can guarantee that employees have necessary skills to meet the requirements of the job.

　　l What do you think makes a training course effective?

　　參考答案：

　　First, a qualified and experienced teacher can make the course effective. A further factor is to satisfy staff needs.

　　(location, materials, audio-visual aids)

　　l How do you think employees should be selected to attend training courses?

　　參考答案：

　　All new staff should receive orientation programme to facilitate their job. For ongoing training, HR Department can carry out opinion surveys among staff to include as many staff as possible.

　　l Do you think employees should contribute towards the cost of training?

　　(Should employees pay some of the cost of their training?)

　　參考答案：

　　I don’t believe so. Many big name companies now make full use of training as motivation. This will help retain staff and enhance staff loyalty to the company. So I reckon that companies not employees should contribute towards the cost.

　　Teamwork

　　I prefer to work in a team. Teamwork means that team members can swap ideas and offer help.
