W I will buy you yoghurt instead. It’s much healthier. M I don’t lie yoghurt. What about some chocolate pudding? W You can get the low sugar ind.

W Thans for coming in today. Please have a seat. Tell me a little bit about yourself. Why do you thin you’re qualified for this job?
M I’ve wored as a music teacher my whole life, mainly with children, and now I’m ready for a change. Because I love music so much, I thin woring at a radio station would be perfect for me.
W The duties of this job include answering the phones and sending emails. How are you with both of those things?
M I’m eperienced in sending emails, and I’m also fairly confident on the phone. When I was a teenager, I wored at a TV station answering phone calls, so this is probably pretty similar. W We also have some early mornings here in the studio. Sometimes you’ll have to be here around 400 or 500 a.m. How do you feel about that?
M I’m an early riser, so that’s easy for me. It also means less traffic, which I’m always a fan of. W Do you have references I can call?
M Yes, I have a list to give you. Two are people I wored with at my last job, and one is an old graduate
school professor of mine.
W Great. Well, I thin that’s it. I’ll give you a call bac in the net few days to let you now our decision. M Than you so much. Tet 10
People who live in cities usually tae their dirty clothes to a laundry place called a “laundromat”. These
public businesses are usually open from 700 a.m. to 1000 p.m. A smaller laundromat might have a doen washers and a doen dryers, while a larger one might have twice that number. Most places do not have any employees there, as there are simple instructions posted near the machines and everything can be done without assistance. Most people bring their own washing soap, but there is often a machine that sells small pacages in case you run out or forget yours. During the weeend, it can be hard to find an open machine but it is much easier during the wee. Many laundry places have TVs, video games, magaines, or free Wi-Fi. Recently, many laundry places have added cafés or bars. Because people usually spend a few hours doing their laundry, having a drin or a meal is a convenient and fun way to pass the time. Of course, when so many people are washing their clothes close to each other, it is easy to mae mistaes. My sister actually met her husband at a laundromat after he put her clothes in his baset by accident!
