Tiffany: It is. You're graduating in a year, right? 真的。你再一年就要毕业了，对吧？
Pat: Yeah, I'm pretty excited about getting my Master's degree then. 对啊，我对之后就能拿到硕士学位感到很兴奋。
Tiffany: Finding a job is my new concern. Where should I look for work? 找工作是我的新烦恼。我该去哪里找工作呢？
Pat: Well, if I were you, I would start looking for jobs online. 嗯…如果我是妳的话，我应该会先上网找工作。
Tiffany: That's a great idea! 那真是个好主意！
Pat: Also, call up your teachers and friends and see if they know of any job openings. They can also recommend other people or places to find jobs. 另外，致电给妳的老师和朋友，看看他们是否知道任何职缺。他们也能推荐妳其他可以找到工作的人或地方。
Tiffany: OK, I can do that as well. Wow, this is all such great advice. 好，我也会这么做。哇，这真的是个很棒的建议。
