W: Hello.
M: This is Jim Evers, from Market Research Corporation. We’re conducting a nation-wide survey of people’s reading habits. Would you have five minutes to answer a few questions?
W: Oh, I suppose.
M: First of all, do you read any newspapers and, if so which ones?
W: I read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
M: Approximately how many hours per week do you spend reading a newspaper?
W: Oh, let me see. About an hour a day, so I’d say at least seven hours a week.
M: Okay. Now, do you subscribe to these newspapers?
W: I subscribe to the Times, but I get the Wall Street Journal at the office.
M: I see. What about magazines? Do you subscribe to any?
W: Oh, yeah, I get Fortune and Psychology Today. And my husband gets Esquire, so I read that too, sometimes.
M: About how many hours a week do you read magazines then?
W: Oh, about two or three.
M: All right. Now, do you read books regularly and, if so, what type?
W: Well, novels are my favorite kind but, to tell you the truth, I haven’t read one in quite a while. I’m taking a class at night, so the only books I’ve been reading lately are my textbooks.
M: I take it then that you don’t belong to a book club?
W: No, I don’t.
M: And about how much time do you spend a week reading textbooks?
W: Not enough. I guess a couple of hours.
M: Okay. Besides textbooks, about how much money do you spend a year on books?
W: Very little. I prefer going to the library.
M: About how many hours of television do you watch a week?
W: Television? Who’s got the time? We have two seats, but I watch PBS only once in a while no more than an hour a week.
M: Well, we’re just about done. I just have a few personal questions, if you don’t mind answering them.
W: That depends.
M: 1 need your approximate age. Are you between 25 and 35, 36 and 45, 46 and 55, 56 and above?
W: I’m 49.
M: And what is your occupation, madam?
W: I’m a stockbroker.
M: Is your yearly income between 15 and 20 thousand, between 20 and 30 thousand... ?
W: I’d rather not answer that.
M: Okay. That’s the last question. Thank you very much for your time.
W: You’re welcome. Bye.
