M: Hi, Susan. You are looking very smart today.
W: I always look smart, James. Actually I’m on my way to a job interview.
M: What job? Oh, you mean for the summer holidays?
W: Yeah, there is only two weeks to go. [8]I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center. You know the one.
M: That’s fantastic.
W: [9]The record is just helping out with data input You know. But the pay isn’t too bad. It might suit you too. I know they have at least two temporary positions available. And I don’t think they have anyone else yet.
M: Em, if they take you on, tell them you know a friend who’d be really good too. [10]I really need the money and the experience will look good on my resume. Maybe we’ll be working together—the dream team.
W: Ok, we’ll do. If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it. It will be good to have someone around, who I know. I’ll phone you afterwards. But perhaps you should put in an application anyway.
M: Thanks, Susan. That’s great. Listen, do you want a lift to the city? I have my dad’s car today and nothing else to do this morning.
W: Sure, thanks James.
M: Let’s go then, the car is over there.
W: By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy? The interviewer may ask you about it.
M: No problem, I think I can survive. [11]I might just have to review a few accountancy terms. Maybe you can give me a practice interview first.
W: Of course, let’s go then. Don’t want to be late.
