W.. We're going to have another English exam this Friday.

M: Exams? I hate exams. Is this exam easy to pass?

M: Wish us lucky.

Text 5

M: I'm sure she'll just turn up. I guess she's gone to visit some friends in another town.

W: Yes, that's possible, but we can't be sure. Something may have happened to her.　 She might have had an accident.

W: David, I can't get the top off this bottle of sauce. Could you open it for me please?

M: I'll try…I'm sorry, Mom. I can't. It's too tight.

W.. I'll ask your father then. Where is he?

M: I heard him going out a few minutes ago.

W: Where was he going?

M: I thought you asked him to pick up some clothes for you at the cleaner's.

W: Oh, that's right. I hope he took his umbrella. It looks as if it's going to rain.

M.. I imagine he did. But I didn't see him leaving, so I don't know.　 Oops! It's started raining already! It's really coming down, isn't it?

W: There's been too much rain this summer.　 Oh, here comes your father, and he hasn't got his umbrella.

M: Look at him running up the path. He's really getting soaked.

W: That's right. I worked as a typist for two years before I went to the College of Art.

M: Why didn't you go to college right away?

W: I wanted to. But my father died just after I finished school. I had to help my family.

M: Oh, I see. That's too bad. How soon can you start if we offer you a job?

W: Well, if possible, I'd like to start next month.

M: That should be no problem. May I ask what your plans for marriage are?

W: I have no intention of getting married at the moment.

M: If you have any samples of your work with you, I'd like to see them.

W: But you wouldn't mind counting your own.

M: No. The trouble is I haven't got any to count.

W: Have you considered going to a graduate school?

M: Yes. I'd rather do that than work in a bank. I prefer studying to office work. But my father said he couldn't afford to pay the fees.

W: So you've agreed to get a job then?

M: Not yet. One of my professors has promised to help me.

W.. What did he say he would do?

M: He said he would try to find me a teaching assistantship. He told me the salary would be enough to pay my fees and living expenses.

M: Jessica! Yes, it must be over six months! The last time we met was at Graham's wedding, wasn't it?

W:　 Graham's wedding? Yes,　 it must have been then. Anyway, it's good to see you!　 How're you getting along?

M..　 Not too bad.　 And you? You're getting fat.　 Your husband must be feeding you too much!

W: (laughing) Yes, Denis is a good cook. I guess I should reduce a little, though. The trouble is, I'm not getting any exercise. No time.

M: Still working at that company, then? You should have taken that job at our place when they offered it to you. It's strictly a five--day week and the weekends are all your own.

W: I guess I should have. Denis often says I shouldn't do so much overtime. I hardly ever see the children any more.

M: Denis's right. You ought to spend more time with the family. Think it over, Jessica. I could ask the boss. The offer might still be open.

　　　 I like football and I hope I will be allowed to play football again.

　　　 But I know being crazy about football is more or less harmful to my studies. Now I promise that I will spend more time on all the subjects. I am sure I will make progress after a period of time. Please don't let me be off the team, OK?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Li Hua's Choice

　　　 Li Hua is a young man, my neighbor. Up to now he hasn't found a job yet. Maybe you wonder why.

　　　 He was once advised to learn to use computer, but he thought it was difficult.　 When he saw others learning English, he shook his bead, saying it was too hard to remember the words.　 As to science and technology in his mind, it was too difficult to understand. What is he fond of 7

He enjoys watching TV, playing cards, smoking and so on. It's hard for him to give up all these.

　　 Not long ago, he was eager to seek for a job. When he knew that people of talent are greatly needed,　 such as computer engineers, English interpreters and technicians, he sighed and regretted the time he wasted.
