第 9 课:日常活动 - 2

A. Good morning, Amender. You are only twenty three, and you are the star sells girl in your store. Congratulations!

B. Thank you.

A. Can you tell us the secret of your success?

B. The secret as you call it. It's work. I get up very early every morning. I walk to work. I work very hard. I'm doing real well in sells and get large amounts of comission. I save every penny to attend a evening class. When I get home after class, I think of the day's work and I make a plan for the next day. I'm tired and crash out soon after I go to bed.

A. Do you like your job?

B. Yes, I like it. It's hard, but I'm used to it.

Number Two Interview with the house wife.

A. So, Linda, what is a typical day for you?

B. I usually get up at around six o'clock. When breakfast is ready, I wake my husband up. Then I dressed the kids up. After breakfast, my husband drives the older kids to school. I stay at home with my baby daughter. I take care of the baby and do the cleaning for most of the morning. In the afternoon, when the baby is sleep, I am free to read in the garden, go shopping or visit some friends. Dinner is usually big and takes time to prepare. After dinner, I play with the kids or watch TV with my husband. I go to bed at around eleven o'clock.

A. Are you used to this kind of life, Linda?

B. I once thought it boring and I found a job. You know what happened? The house was in a mess. My husband and I were too tired to do the household and take care of the kids. So we hired Annie. It cost more. I quit my job and I realize the house work is also important to work.
