　　Good afternoon. Now , I’d like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

　　The first one is about drinking. You may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you. Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, especially at night. Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. We drive on the left side of the road here. Use the crossings to get across the road and do not take any chances when crossing. Finally, as for smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are under 16 years of age.

　　M: Hello?

　　W: Hello. Is that Mr. Jackson?

　　M: Yes, it is.

　　W: Mr. Jackson. I am a reporter from the TV station at our school. As far as I know, you are a very successful teacher, and quite popular among the students, so I want to ask you some questions about your teaching and you students.

　　M: OK.

　　W: First question, do you often give homework to your students after class?

　　M: It depends. Maybe once or twice a week.

　　W: Do you think it is good for your students to do a lot a homework?

　　M: No, I don’t think so. Too much homework takes too much of their free time. I seldom give homework to my students on the weekend.

　　W: Do you agree the students need a lot of exercise in their spare time?

　　M: Well, yes … but they also need time to relax and have a rest, especially on weekends.

　　W: You are a great teacher. By the way, what do you do in your free time?

　　M: I’m a very good football player. My team won the first place in our city last year.

　　W: Congratulations! Well, thank you for your help.

　　Text 9

　　M: Hi, Amy.

　　W: Hi.

　　M: You look great! Have you been on vacation?

　　W: Yeah, I have. I was on the West Coast.

　　M: Nice! How was it?

　　W: Great. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work.

　　M: Where did you go?

　　W: Los Angeles and San Francisco.

　　M: How did you like Los Angeles?

　　W: Well, it is cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are a lot of trees, so I like it better than I thought I would. But it’s huge! It’s really hard to get around. The bus service is terrible, and you know, I don’t like taking the underground. We had to rent a car.

　　M: And was the weather good?

　　W: Oh, yes , it was nice and warm is Los Angeles.

　　M: What about San Francisco?

　　W: The weather? It was cooler than LA, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.

　　M: Cool in San Francisco? That’s surprising.

　　W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. And it was a problem because we didn’t take any sweaters or anything like that, but it’s always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful city in the US—all those hills, the bay, and those magical old Victorian houses.

　　M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?

　　W: Absolutely! And there’s much more that you can see and do on foot! It’s smaller than Los Angeles, so it’s much easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, minibuses, too.

　　W: I understand you want to get a job here at the hotel. Now, tell me a little about yourself. Your name is Carter Bragg, right?

　　M: Yes, it is.

　　W: Your telephone number?

　　M: 8956061

　　W: All right. First, I want to know what languages you can speak.

　　M: I can speak English, and of course Spanish, and a little French.

　　W: Can you work at the front desk? Use a computer? Send fax or e-mails?

　　M: Sure, I can use a computer. I can do all of that.

　　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 swim.

　　W: We have four restaurants. And one cafe. Can you wait tables?

　　M: Yeah, I worked as waiter at a restaurant last year.

　　W: How about weekends? That’s our busiest time. Can you work on weekends?

　　M: Uh, I can work every day, but not Sunday.

　　W: Hmm. 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 all kinds of people. I come from a big family.

　　W: As for the payment, if you work 4 days a week, you can earn about $280.

　　M: That’s OK, I think.

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