W: Do you know what I want to do next summer?  My goal is to climb Black Mountain.  

M: Are you serious? Black Mountain is too hard to climb.  Don't you need special equipment, such as a walking stick, a GPS?

W: I already asked about it.  I just need good walking boots.  

M:  And you're not strong enough to climb such a big mountain.  

W: You're right. I can't do it now, but I'll go running every weekend. Next summer, I'll be fit enough to climb the mountain.

M:  Well, good luck. But as your friend, I still think you should think twice.  

M: The doctor just told me I have to be careful about things I eat.  

W: Like what? 

M: Well, for example, he told me to eat fish.  No more hamburgers or fried chicken. 

W: Yuck! I hardly eat fish. I don't like it at all.  

M: I don't, either. He wants me to eat a lot of vegetables, too, especially green ones.  But that's okay. I like them. 

W: Oh, vegetables. I often have carrots and tomatoes. They're my favorite.

M: He also told me not to drink any coffee. That's difficult. I love my coffee in the morning.  

W: I know what you mean. I do, too. But I drink too much, six or eight cups a day. Coffee with cake or pie after a good meal is...

M: Cake or pie? The doctor said no to them, too.  

W: I almost always have them in my house. You know, I don't think I'd like your doctor very much.

M:  Helen, busy doing anything? 

W: Oh, Kevin. I'm preparing a presentation for the city library.  It's about a girl named Tracy Woods.  

M: What's special about her? 

W: It was an amazing story. She brought specially trained dogs to special education schools, and helped children to build confidence.  She believes that dogs can help children in ways we can't. Dogs don't judge, and they don't care who you are or what you look like. 

M:  But putting dogs into a school? Aren't they going to mess up the school?  

W: Don't worry. All the dogs are assessed and trained properly. There are now 40 dogs working with children aged from 6 to 18. 

M: I hope the children love them. 

W: Of course they do. I've got some pictures.  I'll show them at my presentation tomorrow morning.

M:  Nice to meet you, Jennifer. Can you tell us a few things about yourself, perhaps your work experience? 

W: I'm a university student in my final year, and I major in English. I've had several part-time jobs, including office work . 

M: What was your office work about? 

W:  I worked at the reception desk and did some paperwork. 

M: What did you learn there? 

W: I received phone calls and met customers most of the time. And I supported staff from different departments at times.  So, I learned to deal with various kinds of people.  

M: Did you apply any of the knowledge you got at university?

W: Yes, I think I did use some of the language knowledge. 

M:  What has been your worst experience at work?

W: Well, once I met a customer who came to make a complaint, I tried my best, but he was just being unreasonable. I had to refer him to my manager. It was a hard day.  

M: Okay. Now, do you have any questions for us? 

W: No, not at the moment. 

M: Thank you, Jennifer. We have a number of people applying for this position, and we will call you with our decision within two weeks.

W: Good evening, everyone. This is the final team meeting before we travel to Costa Rica. I'd like to tell you about the three different projects that we're running there.  Before I go on though, let me tell you that we will be leaving on the 6th of April and we will be coming back on the 20th instead of the 10th of July.  I hope that won't be a problem for anyone. Now, the first project includes cleaning up the beaches in the east of the country. This is home to some rare seabirds and we're going there to do our best to protect them.  The second project is in the capital, San José.  There we will be working in the national zoo, planting trees to improve the animal's natural homes. The final project is in one of the national parks.  This is in an area of rainforest which was destroyed, and now the Costa Rican government wants to bring new life to it.  We will be planting trees and recording the growth habits of the plants that we find there.  Okay, has anyone got any questions on any of that?
