Short conversations

Conversation 1

M: Addison's quite a job-hopper. You know what his new job is?

W: Addison told me three weeks ago that he was going to quit his job in the cotton firm and go to work in a store selling beer, but he ended up working in a supermarket.

Q: What do we know from the conversation about Addison?

Conversation 2

W: Bill, do you like your job?

M: Well, I wonder who'd have fun working on an assembly line eight hours a day. If I were not the breadwinner of a big family, I would work in an office even if I could only get half of my current pay.

Q: What does the man say about his job? 

Conversation 3

M: What's your future plan?

W: No idea. My father's ruined all my dreams. He says I have too little sense of economy to be in business, too little imagination to be an artist, I'm too fat to be an athlete, and I'm too ambitious to be an ordinary white-collar worker.

Q: What does the woman think about her future? 

Conversation 4

W: I hear you're working for an advertising company. Do you get a good salary for this job?

M: Yes, a pretty good salary for a beginner. But I have to work very hard for what I get. And there's quite a lot of overtime.

Q: What does the man say about his job?

Conversation 5

M: Why hesitate to take that position? Not everyone can have the opportunity to get promoted.

W: The promotion might make me more money, and bring me short-term growth, but it will take me to the top of the wrong ladder.

Q: Why doesn't the woman take the position?
