Come in and take a seat, Steve.
Thank you.
So you’re looking for a summer job? Do you
have any hotel experience?
I’m afraid not. My parents have a shop and I
sometimes help out when they’re busy.
Well, a lot of our visitors don’t speak English.
Can you speak any other languages?
My parents are from Hong Kong so my
Chinese is very good. And I know some
Japanese.
OK. Good. What about German?
I know one or two words, but I can’t speak it
very well.
Now, we need people who can drive because
the hotel is a long way from the town and there
aren’t any buses.
Well, I can drive but I don’t have a car – I want a
summer job so I can buy one! But it’s OK
because I have a motorbike.
That’s great. What about computers? Can you
use a computer?
Yes, I’m very good with computers. I’m
studying computing at university.
Once a week, we have a Scottish food and
music night for our visitors. Can you sing or
play a musical instrument?
Well, I know some Scottish songs, but my
girlfriend says that I’m not a very good singer.
But I can play the guitar quite well, and I’m a
very good dancer. I know lots of Scottish
dances.
Great. Well, thanks very much for coming
here. We’ll phone you next week about the job.

London is so cold.
Well, it is winter! What’s the weather like in Australia
today?
It’s summer now, so it’s really hot and sunny. It hardly
ever rains and you can go to the beach every day.
What do you usually do when the sun’s shining, Kay?
Well, I live a long way from the coast, so I don’t go to
the beach. There’s a park in the centre of town, but I
prefer to go there when it’s cold and there aren’t a lot
of people around. When the weather’s good, I usually
go down to the river and relax with a book.
Do you go shopping?
No! I never go shopping when it’s hot. Our shopping
centre doesn’t have air conditioning!

Presenter 1 Now, it’s over to Tony Hedge for the weather
forecast.
Presenter 2 It’s good news for Scotland today. It’s a cold and
windy day, but you don’t need an umbrella.
Temperatures are between five and eight degrees,
so wear warm clothes!

Be careful when you drive home.
Why? The roads aren’t dangerous. It isn’t raining and
there’s no ice on the road.
It’s sometimes quite foggy here at night and you can’t
see the road.
Oh, right. Thanks for telling me.
What’s your favourite season, Dave?
That’s a good question. It isn’t summer. A lot of
people like hot weather, but I don’t. Spring and
autumn are too changeable – one minute you need
sunglasses, the next minute you need an umbrella. I
think winter is my favourite time of year, because it
snows and I can ski every day!
