(英会話リスニングスクリプト)
Takayuki, a friend of mine, works for a
large Japanese automobile company.
Last year he got a big surprise when his
boss told him that he wanted him to work in the company
branch in London for two years.
Takayuki didn't really want to go abroad,
but he accepted the job and started preparing to move to
London.
He already spoke English quite well, but
his company paid for an intensive language course.
Last week I got a letter from him in London.
He said that he was enjoying himself very
much.
His apartment in London was much bigger
than his home in Japan and it was great to have a Japanese
salary and live in England; things are much cheaper there.
He said that his wife was enjoying English
culture.
She likes classical music and opera and
it's so much cheaper to go to concerts in London.
He said that Japanese employees in England
are more relaxed; they spend less time at the office and
don't have to go drinking with their colleagues.
