A. Read the interview with Angela and role play it.
I: How important is it for you to get on in life?
A: Extremely important. My father used to say “You must make something
in your life.”
I: Why did start working as a secretary then?
A: I just wanted to get some experience?
I: Where did you work?
A: It was a small, badly-run company and when I went there they said the job
wasn’t difficult and I would soon pick up.
I: Was it really so?
A: Well, at the beginning I liked the job, but as time passed I found I was
working late in the evenings and even at weekends.
I: What about the salary. Was it good?
A: No, I earned just enough to get by. And in addition, there were no
promotion prospects.
I: Was it the main reason for your quitting?
A: Not exactly. I didn’t get on well with my boss. One day I asked him for
some time off to visit my sick mother but he refused point-blank. And that
was the last straw. The next day I handed in my resignation.
I: What did you do after that?
A: I decided to return to studies and go in for law. Now I’m starting to make
my way in the world.
I: I wish you good luck and every success.
A: Thank you. My father used to say “The world is your oyster.” And I think
he’s right.
b. Make a similar interview with Jeremy.
Role play the following dialogue.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed
Kate is a teacher of English. She wants her friend Sally to teach English at her school, but Sally refuses point-blank.
I’m just wondering if you’ll appreciate my offer. I want you to be a teacher of English at our school.
It’s a wonderful opportunity, Kate. But the problem is that I’m an interpreter, not a teacher.
I understand, Sally. If you consider my offer to be a wonderful opportunity you should accept it. Don’t you think so?
The matter is I enjoy being an interpreter. I’ve been working as an interpreter for about six years now. I’d like to keep it up.
You refuse point-blank, don’t you?
Yes, I do. Are you cross with me?
Not in the least. I’m committed to my job, too. I would never change it for anything else.
Is your salary high?
I just get enough to get by but it is not the matter of salary. I love children. I’m happy being a teacher.
You must be a very good teacher. You know the language perfectly well and you’re a committed teacher.
I’m flattered. I invite you to my lesson, Sally.
Thank you. I’ll be delighted to attend your lesson.
Tomorrow I’ll pick you up at a quarter to nine and take you to my school. OK?
It’s a deal.
You’ll be able to hear my pupils speak English. You’ll talk with them.
I suppose they speak English nicely, don’t they?
Well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for them.
