原文：

Maria: Oh, hi Dave. Long time, no see!

Dave: Hi Maria. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by.

 

Maria: Come on in. [Thanks.] Take a seat. Would you like anything to drink? I have Sprite or orange juice.

 

Dave: Sprite would be fine. Uh, so, how have you been?

 

Maria: Oh, not bad. And you?

 

Dave: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really hectic¹ these days, and I haven't had time to relax.

 

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

 

Dave: Hotel management.

 

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

 

Dave: Uh... I haven't decided² for sure, but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?

 

Maria: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed majors to computer science. [Oh]. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.

 

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

 

Maria: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship [Wow] that pays for all of my tuition³ and books.

 

Dave: Wow. That's great.

 

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

 

Dave: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.

 

Maria: Oh. What do you do there?

 

Dave: I'm a cook.

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