W：How about making beef soup tonight? What do we need?

M：Just a moment. We have enough beef and tomatoes. There are no onions and potatoes at home.

M：When can I go back to school?

W：At least a week later. You still have a fever.

M：Did you hear the news?

W：No, what happened?

M：A Boeing 737—MAX8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed minutes after taking off. 157 people lost their lives including 8 Chinese.

W：How is your English class going, Vincent?

M：Not bad, Miss Elva. I can read and write pretty well, but I have trouble in speaking.

W：Well, it takes a while to get used to talking in English. What seems to be the problem?

M：I’m always nervous. As a result, I make a lot of mistakes.

W：Don’t worry. It happens to everyone. You can learn how to use new words and grammar correctly by consulting a learner’s dictionary and practicing with a partner.

M：That’s a good idea, but what about my accent?

W：It’s pretty good, but one way to improve it is by listening to tapes and imitating native speakers.

W：Mr. Bragg, tell me a little about yourself. What languages do you speak?

M：I can speak English, and of course Spanish. And a little German and Japanese.

W：Can you work at the front desk？Use a computer？Send faxes, emails and so on?

M：Sure, I can do them all.

W：Okay. Let’s see. There are a lot of other jobs here at the hotel, so I need to find out what else you can do. Can you swim？We have a swimming pool here.

M：Yes, I can.

W：We have four restaurants and one cafe. Can you work as a waiter on weekends?

M：Uh, I can work only on Saturdays, but not on Sundays.

W：I see. Now the most important question is：Do you like working with people？At a hotel, you work with people all day.

M：Yeah, I can work with a lot of people. I come from a big family.

W：As for the payment, if you work six days a week, you can earn 420 dollars.

M：That’s OK, I think.

W：Well, Mr. Bragg. Thanks for coming today. I’ll give you a call in a few days.

W：It gets dark very early. It’s time to go back.

M：I can’t remember where we parked.

W：It’s just outside the gate.

M：There it is!

W：The concert is fantastic! Thank you, Bob.
