2.This was one of my experiences at work. When I was 36 ， I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the 37 department.
The company had a training centre which was just outside London. Different courses were 38 there throughout the year and I 39 go on one training course a year. These usually started 40 a Sunday evening and lasted six days.
Once I was 41 a week’s training course with about forty 42 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 43 behind the bar asked me a curious question. “I hope you don’t 44 my asking，” she said， “But I’ve been 45 about it all week. Have you got a
sister 46 Mary？” The woman’s name was June， and she used to do various jobs at the training centre. She worked in the office， she organized all the food and drink for the centre and she worked in the bar at lunchtime and in the evening.
My answer 47 June’s question was“Yes”，and June said， “I thought 48 . I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time，my sister was working for 49 company but in a different part of the country. That was 50 she came to be at the training centre.
51 surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more 52 . First， she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second， they have about sixty new people every week at the training centre. So about one thousand five hundred people had 53 the centre in those six months. And 54 ， my sister is married， so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.
We’re not 55 ， but I guess we must look quite like each other.
