1.
A: So how do you like your job, Bill?
B: Well, it was okay at first, but now, after two years, I don’t like it.
A: Oh, why’s that?
B: It’s boring. I do the same thing every day. I’m really sick of it.
A: So why don’t you change jobs?
B: I’m well-paid. I like the money!
A: Oh, I see. But you should leave if you’re not happy.
B: Yeah, maybe I should.
2.
A: Do you like teaching children, Christine?
B: Oh, yes! I love working with kids. They’re so much fun.
A: Well, I guess you have the perfect job!
B: Yeah, I like it a lot. There’s just one thing I don’t like.
A: What’s that?
B: The distance to school. It’s too far away. It takes me an hour to drive there every day.
A: Wow. That must be awful!
B: It is, but the schools that are near me are not as good.
3.
A: How is your new job going, Anna?
B: Good, thanks. I really like it.
A: What do you like best about it?
B: I think it’s the people I work with. They are so nice.
A: People make all the difference in a job, don’t they?
B: They sure do. The only trouble is, I have to travel a lot. I’m away from home for about two weeks every month.
A: Yeah, that can be difficult.
B: It is. I hope I won’t have to travel so much next year.

A: Do you enjoy being a salesperson, Nancy?
B: Yes, I do like it. I get to meet so many people.
A: Is it hard work?
B: Yes, it can be. I don’t like the long hours. I’m always really tired when I get home at night.
A: That’s too bad. Why don’t you quit?
B: Because I think my boss is great to work for.
5.
A: How long have you been working in a restaurant, Martin?
B: For more than five years.
A: Wow. You must really enjoy it.
B: Oh no, I don’t enjoy it at all! It’s hard work and pretty tiring, too. I’m on my feet all night.
A: Oh, I see.
B: But the tips are great. I really should find a better job soon, though.
