Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully.

Fiona: You look very happy, Robert. You must be pleased about something.

Robert: I am. You know how I’ve always wanted to go to the States? Well, I’ve got a job there for the summer.

Fiona: Oh, well done. I’ve been trying to get a job for the summer holiday too. Last year I worked in my dad’s office but I didn’t enjoy it very much. I’d prefer an outdoor job.

Robert: Well, listen to what I’m going to do. Maybe it would suit you too. I answered an advert to work in a children’s summer camp in America. I had an interview in London and I’ve got the job. They’re sending me to a camp in the mountains near Seattle in the northwest. I just can’t wait.

Fiona: It sounds great. But what are you going to be doing?

Robert: The job title is sports leader. I’ll be taking the children swimming and arranging team games for them – football and things like that I expect.

Fiona: I thought you hated football – I’ve never seen you play.

Robert: Well, no, I don’t really like it but I can easily get some practice before I go and I can find out the rules of American football.

Fiona: What else do you think they’ll ask you to do?

Robert: Oh, outdoor activities like rock climbing and sailing on the lake.

Fiona: It doesn’t sound like your kind of job at all, Robert. I just can’t imagine you taking a group of children rock climbing. You can’t even swim either!

Robert: Well, I’m going to learn. I’ve got three months.

Fiona: Did you tell them that you couldn’t swim and you’d never been rock climbing?

Robert: No, I wanted the job.

Fiona: Well, I think you should tell them the truth. Maybe they could give you a job in the office or something.

Robert: No, I’ll be all right when I get there.

Fiona: Well, it would really suit me. What’s the address?

Now listen again. (The recording is repeated.)
