MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT "Unforgettable", says new journalist Narrator: Never will Zhou Yang forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper. His discussion with his new boss, Hu Xin, was to strongly influence his life as a journalist. HX: Welcome. We're delighted you're coming to work with us. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions? ZY: Can I go out on a story immediately? HX: That's admirable, but I'm afraid it would be unusual! Wait till you're more experienced. First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself. ZY: Wonderful. What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and camera. HX: No need for a camera. You'll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs. You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you're interested. ZY: Thank you. Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills. HX: Good.
