M: I wish I were a better writer. Working for the paper sounds like fun.
W: Well, they’re looking to add one or two more photographers to the staff.
M: You’re kidding! Maybe I’ll go over and apply.
W: If you want, I’ll walk over with you to the newspaper office and introduce you to the photographic editor.
M: That would be terrific!

W: Well, what did you think about the last candidate?
M: She had a very impressive resume, but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs.
W: What made you think she wasn’t very confident?
M: Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked? W: She was a bit nervous I guess. What else?
M: When she first walked into the room to greet us, she didn’t shake our hands or introduce herself at all. I thought that was a bit unprofessional.
W: You are right.
M: Did you also notice the way she sat in her chair during most of the interviews? It was horrible. Even worse, she didn’t seem to have any sense about people’s personal space. She didn’t keep enough distance between us during the meeting.
W: That’s true. I guess we’ll have to keep looking for a manager then.

M: Have you ever seen Bill Gates’ home on the Internet?
W: No, what’s it like?
M: It’s got its own library, theatre, swimming pool and a guest house. The house itself has about
ten different rooms. It’s absolutely amazing.
W: Would you want to live there?
M: I think the house is fantastic, but I wouldn’t want to live there. You’d have to hire one or two
people to clean all the rooms. It’s too hard.
W: What’s your dream home like then?
M: My dream home is actually just a small cottage in a quiet village.
W: Would you want to buy an old cottage or a new one?
M: Old homes are great because they’ve got character, I think that’s important.
W: Is that why you wear secondhand clothes as well because they’ve got character?
M: No, that’s just because I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes all the time.
W: I see, if you lived in an old house, would you decorate it in a modern way?
M: Definitely not. I would keep it in its original state. I’d love to imagine what it would be like
to live in the olden days.
