CONVERSATION SHEET UNIT 1 LESSON 5 - A SATURDAY JOB
A: Hi ….
B: Hey ….. nice to see you.
A: I was looking for you.
B: Right. Why?
A: I have a question for you. Do you remember that I had a Saturday job?
B: Had???
A: Yes, had. I really hated that job.
B: I didn’t know that. Why did you hate it?
A: I had to clean and that was not that bad. But I also had to prepare lunch for the shop assistants and they were always moaning about it.
B: What is it that they didn’t like about it.
A: Well, I prepared healthy lunches with sandwiches and smoothies. They didn’t want healthy food, they wanted pizzas and things like that. And they couldn’t stop telling me about it.
B: Wow, that was hard for you, wasn’t it?
A: Yes, it was really, really difficult to do your best and people can’t stop moaning about the thing you do. So I quit.
B: Yeah, good for you. Don’t you miss the money?
A: Yes, I do. But luckily I have my new smartphone now.
B: Oh, I would like a smartphone as well but I can’t afford it.
A: Maybe I have got the answer to that problem for you.
B: That would be awesome. How?
A: Someone asked me to take over a paper round, oh no, sorry, a magazine round. My parents don’t allow me to take a paper round and get up at half past 5 every morning.
B: I can imagine that. My parents think the same about that.
A: But they agree to a job delivering magazine in the afternoon. And that’s where you come in.
B: How? What do you mean?
A: It’s a job for two people, so I would like you to help me.
B: Oh, thanks for thinking of me! When do we have to work and for how long?
A: We deliver the mags every Thursday from 4.30 until 7.30. Is that OK for you?
B: Yes, that’s OK for me. I never have too much homework for Fridays. But I have to ask my parents first of course.
A: I understand. So are you going to ask them today?
B: I will ask them as soon as they get home. And then I will call you right away.
A: That would be nice.
B: One more question: What does it earn?
A: Enough to buy yourself a smartphone in 6 months’ time!
