M: Hi, Susan!
W: Hi, Mike! What’s going on? You look rather worried.
M:(12)My parents just called me and said they couldn’t afford my tuition next semester. I have to earn that by myself, but I’m not sure if I can find work this summer vacation. There aren’t many jobs for inexperienced workers like me.
W: I’m sorry to hear that. After all it’s a big sum of money for a sophomore. Have you been to the Students’ Union? I hear they are collecting employment information for job hunters.
M: Actually I have, but there’s no job offer at the moment. They say they will inform me as soon as they get vacancies.
W: Well, have you heard about house-sitting? My friends have tried that.(13)That is, a house owner will travel for his holiday, and doesn’t want to leave his house empty. He may get a reliable person to live in and take care of the house.
M: It sounds great. Is it a paid job?
W: Yes, you will be well-paid, I think.
M: OK, I’ll take any job that pays. How can I get this job?
W:(14)There are a few notices posted in the student dorms.
M: So I just call and tell them I want the job?
W: Not exactly.(15)First you will be interviewed by the house owners. If they think you are the right person, you can get the job.
M: Well, I’d like to try. I think I can do this kind of job well.
W: Good luck.
