Well, our restaurant has a delivery service. You know, people can order food
over the phone. I have to take people's orders and deliver them.
A:
I see. And do you like it?

That must be hard.
A:
Yeah. And another thing, sometimes they have accidents. Last week one man
smashed into another car and then he ran away.

they understand how hard it is.
A:
In what way?
B:
Well, it's true that I can see lots of different cities. On the other hand, I get very tired
and my legs often hurt. Sometimes after a flight I just stay in my hotel room and
sleep. And another thing I don't like is that the passengers often complain.

Lots of my clients are working people, and they like to come in after work. So I

So, Kayla, what does a dog walker do exactly?
K:
I walk dogs, of course! I go to people’s apartments, pick up their dogs, and take
them for a walk. I walk six dogs at a time and walk them for two or three hours.
Then I take them back and pick up another group of dogs and take them for a walk,
too. Usually I start around 9: a.m. and finish at 4:00 in the afternoon.

Script
I:
Wow. You are a model! That must be exciting!
A:
It’s a lot of fun. I love it. But sometimes it’s very tiring.
I:
Tiring? Why is that?
A:
Well I often have all-day shoots on Saturdays and have to get up very early.
I usually get up around 5:00 A.M. and then a car from the studio comes to pick
me up at 6:00 and take me to the location.
I:
Does it take a long time to shoot the photos?
A:
Sometimes. The other models and I often have to change clothes ten or more
times. And it takes about an hour to take all the photos with each set of clothes.
So I often spend 10 or 12 hours on a photo shoot.
I:
I see.
A:
So I get home pretty late, and when I do, I’m really tired and hungry.
I:
I bet! And what about clothes you model? Do you get to keep them?
A:
Unfortunately not! But the work pays really well. I sometimes make five or
six hundred dollars for one day.
I:
That’s pretty good. And do you work on Sundays too?
A:
Not usually. But on Sundays I spend about four hours in the gym working out
to keep in shape.
I:
So I guess you don’t have time to see a movie next weekend?
A:
No. I’m sorry. But thanks for asking.

Script
1.
I think exercise is so important to good health. There is a really good sports club near my school.
During the week, I play tennis there for an hour before school starts. On weekends, I usually
work out at the gym near my house for a few hours. I also play baseball with some friends
from school. It's so much fun!
48
2.
I don't like jogging or doing anything too energetic. I prefer taking walks. I like to take
a short walk every day through the park across from my house. Sometimes my boyfriend goes
with me. It's nice to talk and look at the flowers and trees. On Sunday, I like to swim, but
for only about a half hour. I sleep the rest of the weekend.
3.
I am a big football fan, but I only watch it on TV. I can't stand playing it! There are great
games to watch on the weekend. I also enjoy watching tennis. I'd like to learn someday, but
I don't like to sweat. I love chess and often play with my younger sister. She's really good
at it and usually wins. On the weekends, I love to play video games with some of my friends.
4.
I just love to exercise! I like many different sports. Let’s see... I like swimming a lot. I get up
very early, around 5 a.m., and swim for two hours from Monday to Friday. I also enjoy
basketball and play with a group of friends from work every Tuesday night. And I've
also started playing golf this year. Before playing, I go jogging to warm up.
5.
I enjoy exercise, but I don't do it as much as I should. I meet a friend every Wednesday
and we play tennis. I'm not a very good player, but it's fun and we usually play for an hour.
On weekends, I like to bicycle in our neighborhood. I guess I spend an hour or two doing that.
Oh, and I love baseball, but only watching it while sitting on the couch eating popcorn!

These microwave ovens are very popular. You won’t find them in other stores because
they’re made especially for us. We import them from our factory in Mexico. They’re
very well made and come with a three-year guarantee. Your receipt is your guarantee.
One great thing is they only weigh ten kilos, so you can easily pick one up if you want to
move it or clean it. They also have a really special feature you don’t find in other
microwaves. They display popular recipes on this little screen in front. It has recipes
for over 500 easy dishes.

2.
This jacket is very strong. It’s made of nylon, so it’s very easy to take care of. It comes in
six different colors. You don’t need to dry clean it. You can just throw it in the washing
machine, then hang it up to dry. And let me show you something really special about it.
It’s reversible. It turns inside out so you can wear it either way. See? The color inside
is different from the color outside. Isn’t that great? So you really have two jackets for
the price of one.
3.
These new flat screen TVs are very popular nowadays. They’re not from the United States.
They’re made in South Korea. They’re quite light, so you can pick them up and move
them around if you want to. And the special thing about these TVs is that you can also
hang them on the wall. Now that’s something you can’t do with any other kind of TV!
They come in three different sizes. They’re more expensive than a regular TV, but
they’re very convenient, and they look great in your house or apartment.
4.
These new watches are very popular with teenagers. They’re modern and made entirely of
plastic so they’re very light. Each watch comes with six different bands, so you can
change the band to match your clothes. Another thing is they’re very strong. They’re
also waterproof. But what’s really special is that this is not only a watch. You can use
it to send and receive e-mail messages.
