1.- Are you pleased with your new job, Marry?
- Yes, very much. It is just my cup of tea. I work as a translator at the Research Institute.
- And, what sort of translation are you engaged in?
- Well, I translate articles on chemistry from different American and English magazines.
2. – My brother has an awful lot of work. He’s so booked up these days.
- Why? Isn’t he going to take a leave?
- Oh, no most of his colleagues are on their vocation and the chief keeps him at work day and night.
- Nothing doing. The coming of the holiday- making season is in the air.
3. – What are your wages, Bill?
- It depends, you know. I am on piece- work.
- And how much did you earn last month?
- Well, 150 dollars let alone the bonus.
