　　Father and Mother are at home. Gwen just gets home.?

　　Gwen: I’m home, Mom, Dad.

　　Mom: How’s your day, Gwen?

　　Gwen: Not bad. I’m tired of taking buses to school every day.

　　Father: Why?

　　Gwen: The bus is so crowded every morning.

　　Mom: I don’t understand. What’s your point?

　　Gwen: I want to buy a motorcycle - a Harley.

　　Father: What!! Harley! Are you insane²?

　　Mom: (to father) Calm down. (to Gwen) I understand your situation. I would agree if you want to buy a?

　　normal motorcycle, but Harley! Forget it.?

　　Gwen: But I want it so much. I’ve always wanted one.

　　Father: OK. I can contribute some for the motorcycle, but you have to pay the rest yourself.

　　Mom: I agree with your dad.?

　　Gwen: Oh! Yes! Are you sure? But I don’t have any money to pay for it!

　　Father: You can use your New Years’ Red Envelope money or find a part-time job.

　　Gwen: Hey, it sounds like a great idea to get a part-time job.

　　Mom: You have to keep your eyes open when you look for a part-time job.

　　Gwen: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.

　　Father: I can give you some advice and experience. When I was a teenager, I used to work as a porter³. It was?

　　very tough, but I learned⁴ how to be responsible and how to use time. So will you. (change of tone) I?

　　remember I almost lost my life one day.?

　　Gwen: Thanks, Dad. I think I can handle it. I’ll be careful.?

　　SCENE II

　　Gwen: Ivy, I want to find a part-time job. Are you interested in getting one for yourself, too?

　　Ivy: It sounds great! I can search on the Internet for job opportunities.

　　Gwen: Then I can look at the ads in the newspaper.

　　(After 2 to 3 minutes)

　　Gwen: Look! Here’s something interesting. It looks good.

　　Ivy: Let me see... let’s make a phone call to see what the job is about.

　　(Phone rings. Gwen and Ivy are calling the “I Need You” Company.)Boss: This is “I Need You” company! May I help you?

　　Ivy: I need a part-time job, and I saw your ads in the newspaper, so …Boss: I see! Could you come to our company this Wednesday afternoon?

　　Ivy: What?

　　Boss: Oh! We’d like to interview you personally.

　　Ivy: Is it alright if my friend comes along?

　　Boss: No problem. You and your friend can come together.

　　Ivy: Thank you. Bye.

　　Boss: You’re welcome. See you! (hangs up.)Gwen: What did he say?

　　Ivy: He said we can have interviews this Wednesday afternoon.

　　Gwen: Great! Let’s do it. We can meet there.

　　Ivy: I’m a little bit nervous.

　　Gwen: It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.

　　SCENE III

　　(Wednesday afternoon, Gwen and Ivy are at the “I Need You” Company. They enter the company.)Boss: Hi, nice to meet you! Have a seat! Take it easy. O.K.! First, do you have any work experience?

　　Gwen: No.

　　Ivy: Me, either.

　　Boss: That’s O.K. You’re just what our company needs. You can learn on the job. Second, do you have any?

　　talents? Like dancing or singing?

　　Ivy: Well….

　　Gwen: I love singing. My friend says I sing well.

　　Boss: Very good!

　　Ivy: May I ask what this job is about? What do you want us to do?

　　Boss: It’s easy. You just need to sing and chat with customers. They might give you some extra tips if they like you.

　　Gwen: Oh! It sounds great! I can get a lot of money! I’ll take this job! What do you think, Ivy?

　　Ivy: Umm... but I’m not good at singing or dancing.

　　Boss: It’s O.K.! Fanny…

　　Fanny: Yes.

　　Boss: She can teach you how to do this job well. It’s not hard.

　　Gwen: How about the salary?

　　Boss: Ha, ha! As to the salary, I won’t disappoint you. I promise you’ll be a rich girl in a few days. (shows a?

　　cunning⁵ smile)

　　Ivy: I don’t think I can do it. It sounds fishy⁶ to me. I think we should ask more about what exactly we have to do.

　　Gwen: Come on! Take it easy. It’s a good opportunity. We’ll make a lot of money. Just think about the money!

　　Ivy: No, I’m sorry. I guess the job is not for me.?

　　Gwen: All right! Suit yourself.

　　Ivy: Good luck. Bye. (exits)

　　Fanny: Hi. Hmm…(looks at Gwen from head to toes) I think I’ll change the way you look, O.K.? (She starts to?

　　change Gwen’s hair style and her clothes and shoes; she also puts make-up on Gwen)SCENE IV

　　(Gwen’s first day of work at a bar)

　　Customer A: Wow, Fanny! Look at that girl! What a cute girl!

　　Customer B: I’ve never seen her before. Who is she?

　　Fanny: This is Gwen. It’s her first day here.

　　Gwen: Hi. (She appears shy and uneasy⁷.)

　　Customer A: Come sit beside me.

　　Customer B: Dance with me. (They both drag Gwen’ arms.)Gwen: Umm… What’s this all about? What’s going on? (Gwen starts to cry and turns to run away.)Fanny: Wait, wait! Stop it! Come back! Hey, what are you doing??

　　Gwen: That man touched my butt⁸.

　　Fanny: So what? It’s no big deal. Take it easy. No matter what they do to you, you should always show respect?

　　to them and obey?

　　them.

　　Gwen: (Sobs) Oh! The job is so different from what I have thought. I can’t do it! I can’t stand it! I want to quit!

　　SCENE V

　　At Gwen’s home

　　Gwen: I can’t believe this. Darn! How stupid I was. It‘s disgusting. (Gwen’s still crying.)Mom: What’s wrong with you, honey?

　　Gwen: It’s terrible. I don’t know how to tell you.

　　Father: What’s the problem? Tell us.?

　　Gwen: I got a part-time job the other day. And today was my first day of work. I thought they just want me to be a?

　　performer, singing some songs and dancing for other people. But the customers there harassed⁹ me. They were?

　　evil¹⁰. They touched me and it made me feel awful. I couldn’t do it, so I ran away.

　　Mom: What? Why did you choose this kind of jobs? Are you blind? Are you that stupid?

　　Father: Calm down, both of you! You have to remember this experience. You should be careful when you choose a job.?

　　Didn’t I tell you that?

　　Mom: If you have troubles finding¹¹ a job, we’ll help you look for one from the Internet or newspapers.

　　Father: It’s O.K. now. Stop it.

　　Gwen: Thank you so much, Mom and Dad. I love you.

　　Mom: We love you, too, honey. J
