3 / 11 1) Listening Skills: Identifying speakers’ opinions Knowing what a speaker thinks about a certain issue is a very important listening skill. Normally, speakers would use some linguistic cues to indicate that this is what they believe. So it is important to recognize such cues and pay attention to what follows. Commonly used cues include: • I think . • I’m confident that . • I’m afraid . • I believe . • From my perspective, . • As far as I’m concerned, . • I’m positive that . • In my point of view, . . Scripts: Interviewer: Mr. Smith, how will you describe the future of work? Mr. Smith: I believe the future of work will soon become “the survival of the most adaptable.” As new technologies have fundamentally changed the way we work, I think the jobs that remain will be complex and changeable. Interviewer: What does that mean for workers? Mr. Smith: Workers of the future will need to be highly adaptable and handle three or more different roles at a time. We can see that new areas of work are emerging constantly with the development of science and technology. That means in the future people will continually need to update their skills for jobs of the moment, but I’m confident that there will continue to be employment if these skills are developed. Interviewer: What about you, Ms. Green? Ms. Green: I’m afraid I’m not that sure. I think there will be winners and losers in this new world. I imagine there will be one-day training programs where people learn new skills quickly, and then are employed for a month while they’re needed. Interviewer: Does that mean workers are more likely to shift toward more part-time, freelance-based work? Ms. Green: Yes, that’s what I believe. And employers won’t think in terms of employees – they’ll, in my point of view, think in terms of specific projects. Who do I need? And for how long?
Interviewer: How about the population who are unable to continuouslyadapt and learn new skills?Ms.Green:Wecan't all beknowledge workers. SoI am afraid there willbe a lot of unemployment.
