Self-Introduction on a Passage
Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.
Santos: (To a Japanese crewmember passing by) Hello! I'm Third Engineer, Manuel Santos. I just came on board.
2/Eng: Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Second Engineer, Suzuki. I was checking a pump so I couldn't come to the Engine Control Room when the Chief Engineer introduced you.
Santos: Boy, I was surprised by the size of the engine. It's the first time that I've seen such a big one!
2/Eng: This ship keeps us busy and she's a good one to learn many different jobs on.
Santos: I'm sure I'll learn a lot. The small number of crew also surprised me.
2/Eng: Well, it means that each crewmember takes on a lot of responsibility. I do hope you'll become familiar with the ship quickly, and do your job well. We all count on each other. I'll help you whenever there's something that you don't understand. Also, read and study all the instruction books. Don't hesitate to learn things using your hands, feet, and body. You know, hands-on experience. That’s the way Japanese people work.
Santos: I see. I was told the same back home.
2/Eng: It's important to work hard. Doing a good job helps you gain confidence. Oh, by the way, I should tell you more about myself. I'm 30 years old. I'm single and I come from Yamaguchi. I like fishing. Pretty handy when you work on a boat, don't you think?
Santos: Sure. I'm 23 years old and I come from Manila. I don’t have any hobby. I just like reading.
