Ex. 9

Woman: Can I help you?

Man: Yes, I’m looking for a job.

Woman: Do you want a part-time job or do you want to work full-time?

Man: I want a full-time job. I don’t want to work part-time.

Woman: Can you work at night or do you prefer to work nine to five?

Man: I don’t mind when I work but I’d like a well-paid job. I can work long hours and always work hard. I don’t want to work only 8 hours a day – I can stay at work for 12 hours or more!

Woman: Well, we need factory workers. We pay £10 an hour.

Man: Have you got anything else? That’s quite a boring job and quite a badly-paid job, too. I’m hoping for £15 an hour or more.

 

Ex. 11

I don’t know what I want to do when I finish my education. My parents work for larges companies but I don’t think I’d like that. I’d like to work from home and be free to go shopping or sleep when I want. I definitely don’t want to be a teacher. I couldn’t work in a school with children. I don’t think I’d be very good at working in a team, either. I like to decide what to do and when to do it.

Yes, I believe that it is a good idea for me to work alone, without any people around me. I could work in a office – at my own desk, with my own computer – but I really like to stay at home.
