W: Good morning, Steven.
M: Jane, please come in and sit down.
W: I want to talk to you about something that’s up.
M: I hope everything is all right. Is there any trouble
W: No, no, nothing at all. Everything has been going very well.
M: That’s good.
W: This is something quite different.
M: I’ll be glad to help you. Is there anything I can do
W: Some advice, Steven. I have been offered a new job.
M: A new job
W: As a matter of fact, it isn’t the bank in New York.
M: Is the offer from another bank or an insurance company
W: It’s from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington.
M: You mean the World Bank
W: That’s right. And it’s really very unexpected, I must say. I’ve had business with them but I’ve never suggested that I was interested in working for them.

W: Yes, it is. It’s a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.
M: It seems to me that it’s a real honor for you.
W: Yes, there is no doubt about that but I’ve been with our bank for so many years.
M: But it’s an honor for our bank too—for the training and experience it’s given you.
W: Yes. I hope the bank will think of it that way too.
