所以你要做什么。我是声学发动机工程师。录音师是什么感觉不,不完全是。我们帮助设计音乐厅、会议中心或剧院等空间。音质很重要的空间。你为谁工作在一家国际建筑师事务所实习。谁你在哪里工作我想在弗兰克接受一年的培训。哇。哦,什么那你的工作是什么嗯，我从事不同的项目，在每个项目中，我从事不同的领域，比如采购。材料，或预算和计划或设计。是大公司吗，是的，非常大，但弗兰克·费特办公室只有十个人。你介意我问一下，你想签什么样的合同吗就像我说的，这是一份一年的合同，但希望今年年底，他们能给我一份固定的工作。但是今年我必须考好。你喜欢这份工作吗是的,这很好。我每天都学一些新东西。好吧,祝你好运。我希望你能得到这份工作。谢谢。
