Conversation One

W: Hey, Dave! I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been?

M: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really busy these days, and I haven't had time to relax.

W: By the way, what's your major anyway?

M: Hotel Management.

W: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?

M: Uh... I haven't decided³ for sure, [19]but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?

W: [20]Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding⁴ a job using the language, so I changed my major to Computer Science. With the right skills, landing⁵ a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.

M: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?

W: [21]Well, fortunately, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition⁶ and books.

M: Wow. That's great!

W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?

M: Yeah. [22]I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus⁷.

W: Oh. What do you do there?

M: I'm a cook.

W: How do you like your job?

M: It's okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn't bad.
