20、n ask you to stop at the end of three minutes. Wang Fei: Well. I think one of the things our organization could do for these employees is to allow them relatively flexible working schedules, because like caring for a child, anything could happen while caring for an elderly parent.

25、nk that. Interviewer: Do you think its necessary for a company to create such kind of benefit for its employees? Wang Fei: Yes. Most employees would have to face the problem of caring for elderly parents sooner or later. And without assistance, they would make mistakes on the job. And. Sun Hao: And

26、some of them might even quit their jobs to care for their parents, so that their skills are no longer available to the organization at all. Sometimes, when this happens, it will cause a huge loss to the company. And I also think. Interviewer: Thank you. Sun Hao and Wang Fei. That is the end of the speaking test.
