Clara: That number has been engaged for ages. Nobody can be that popular. I wonder if her number has been changed. I think I'll try again.
(Sound of dialing and ringing tone.)
Sue: 3346791.
Clara: Is that you, Sue?
Sue: Who's calling?
C1ara: This is Clara. Clara Ferguson. Don't you remember me?
Sue: Clara! Of course I remember you. How are you? I haven't heard from you for at least two years. What are you doing?
Clara: Nothing very exciting. That's one reason I'm ringing. I need some advice.
Sue: Advice. Hmm. That's a good one. I've just been sacked.
Clara: There are the pips. Hang on, Sue.
Clara: What do you mean ... you've just been sacked? Sue, you're the most successful woman I know.
Sue: That's probably why I've been sacked. But let's talk about you. You said you needed some advice.
Clara: I certainly do. I wanted to ask you about interviews. Have you had a lot of them?
Sue: Yes, I have. Too many.
Clara: So, could you tell me the sort of questions you're usually asked?
Sue: Let me think. The first ten questions are almost always the same. I call them the 'whys', 'hows' and 'wheres'.
(Sound of pips.)
Clara: Not again. Don't go away, Sue. I've got one more coin.
Clara: Are you there, Sue?
Sue: Yes, I'm still here.
Clara: Sorry, I didn't understand what you were telling me. Could you repeat it?
Sue: It's very boring, but here you are:
I'm always asked:
Why I want to leave my present job?
Why I am interested in the new job?
How I intend to get to work?
How long I intend to stay in the job?
Where I live?
Where I went to school?
How much I'm paid in my present job?
How much I expect to be paid in the new job?
Oh yes. I'm always asked if I'm married.
(Sound of pips.)
Clara: That's it, Sue. No more coins. I'll write to you soon ... and many thanks.

I am not going out with George again. Last week he invited me to go to a football match. I do not like football, so it was silly of me to say yes. We did not have seats, so we had to stand for two hours in the rain. I was cold and wet and I could not see a thing. So I asked George to take me home. He got very angry and said some very unpleasant things.

Last week the sun shone and it got quite hot. I decided to put on my light grey summer trousers. But I got a shock. I could not put them on. They were too small. It is possible that they got smaller during the winter, but I do not think so. I am afraid I got bigger. So I am going to eat less and I am going to take more exercise. I am definitely going to lose some weight.
