M: I'm arranging our next project team meeting, and I just want to check some possible dates with you.
W: Fine, let me just get my diary. Okay, which dates are you looking at?
M: I've spoken to the others, and they will be available in the first, third and fourth week of May. Which one would you prefer?
W: Well, I prefer the last week if possible.
M: I think there is no problem with that.

W: Excuse me. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?  
M: No, I guess not.  
M: Great! This is for a student council report; we want to find out what students think of the campus food service. First, how often do you eat in the cafeteria?  
M: Almost every day.  
W: What’s your general impression of the food here?  
M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically I think it’s OK. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but I mean they have to feed hundreds of people here. You are not going to get something freshly prepared just for you.
W: If I just put down generally satisfactory, is that OK?  
M: Sure.
W: So you think the other things, like soup and dessert are okay?
M: Yeah, that’s about right.
W: Is there anything you’d like to change about the cafeteria?
M: Yes, the hours. Sometimes it’s a real rush for me to get back here before 6:30.

M: I start my work at 9 in the morning, and I keep working for 6 hours till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Then I start again at 5:30 pm and work until 10:30 pm. Six days a week. So I have to work very odd hours.
W: And do you have to work on the weekend?
M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you don’t have to do?
M: Eh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.
W: How did you learn the profession?
M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year, we had to learn the basics. And then we had to take the exams.
W: And what’s the secret to being good at your job?
M: Attention to detail and you have to love it. You have to show passion for it.
