第一次大型采访
Why this text is here: Give concrete evidence for the abstract evaluation '认真、敢负责' so the learner can practice evidence-based description.
Gāng gōngzuò bù jiǔ shí, Chén Yǔ dì-yī cì cānjiā dàxíng cǎifǎng. Tā hěn jǐnzhāng, yīnwèi xiànchǎng yǒu hěn duō qíngkuàng shì tā yǐqián méiyǒu yùdào guo de.
刚工作不久时，陈雨第一次参加大型采访。她很紧张，因为现场有很多情况是她以前没有遇到过的。Not long after she started working, Chen Yu took part in a major interview for the first time. She was nervous because many situations on site were new to her.
Dànshì tā méiyǒu yīnwèi jǐnzhāng jiù shǎo wèn wèntí. Tā zhǔdòng xiàng fùzérén quèrèn zīliào, yòu bǎ jǐ ge zhòngyào xìnxī chóngxīn héduì le yí biàn. Cǎifǎng jiéshù hòu, tóngshì shuō tā suīrán jīngyàn bù duō, dànshì rènzhēn, yě gǎn fùzé.
但是她没有因为紧张就少问问题。她主动向负责人确认资料，又把几个重要信息重新核对了一遍。采访结束后，同事说她虽然经验不多，但是认真，也敢负责。But she did not ask fewer questions just because she was nervous. She actively confirmed the materials with the person in charge and checked several important details again. After the interview, a colleague said that although she lacked experience, she was serious and willing to take responsibility.
