Rozmowę rozpoczyna zdający.

S: Good morning. I saw your advertisement. I’m looking for a temporary, part-time job. What kind of job are you offering?
E: I am looking for somebody who could stand behind the counter in the mornings and take care of the stuff. Are you still interested?
S: Yes, I am. I study at an evening school so working in the morning is a perfect option for me. How many hours a week you think I would have to work and what time would I start?
E: I think about twenty hours. I open at 10 am and you would finish at 2 pm.
S: And what would be my wage?
E: Around 100 pounds a week.

Rozmowę rozpoczyna egzaminator.

E: I’ve heard you spent some time during holiday working. Tell me how was it?
S: Actually, I found it really interesting but tiring.
E: Tell me something more about it.
S: I worked at my friend’s restaurant as a bartender for two months. Every morning I had to sweep and mop the floor in front of and behind the bar and lay all the pads on the counter before first guests came. Then I checked if I had all the drinks and juices. When the guests started coming I always had to be ready with the prices and drinks of the day. Finally I had to clean the glasses and lay them again after the guests have left.
E: Did you like it?
S: Yes, a lot. Although the work was exhausting and I sometimes had to be busy as a bee, it was pretty enjoyable and most of the guests used to leave me tips!

S: What do you think, could we meet three times a week?
E: I don’t think I could find time during the week.
