[00:11.99]Linda finished high school last month.
[00:16.07]She went to a broadcasting company for a job interview yesterday.
[00:21.42]She was a few minutes late.
[00:25.36]Mr Wilson,the manager,had left the office when she got there.
[00:31.32]His secretary told her he would be back in a little while.
[00:36.96]She had to sit down and wait for a few minuets.
[00:41.69]She thought she would never get the job.
[00:45.17]Just then Mr Wilson came through the door and hurried into his office.
[00:51.23]He was short and fat.He had a black moustache and hardly any hair.
[00:57.78]The secretary took Linda in and introduced her.
[01:02.75]Linda apologize for being late.Mr Wilson did not seem to mind.
[01:09.51]They chatted for a few seconds and then got down to business.
[01:15.28]He took out her letter of application.
[01:19.33]"You've never worked in a radion or television company before,have you?"
[01:25.50]he asked.
[01:28.66]Several days ago she saw advertised in a local newspaper
[01:34.01] a post at the broadcasting company.
[01:38.06]Since she is very short of money and wants to do something useful,she applied
[01:45.01]But she was afraid that with no working experience
[01:49.45]her chances of getting the job were slim.
[01:53.92]Now she was quite sure that she would not get the job.
[02:00.16]Then Mr Wilson asked her a few more questions.
[02:05.73]To her surprise,he seemed impressed with her other qualifications.
[02:11.79]She was even more surprised when he said to her with a smile,
[02:17.56]"I wonder if you'd mind starting next month.
[02:22.11]"Linda said shyly,"But what would my salary be?"
[02:27.70]"$5000 a month plus lunch,"answered Mr Wilson.
[02:34.15]On Linda's lips there was a broad smile.She got the job after all.
[02:41.52]E Denis Dragon
[02:44.86]Tim,I have got a job in a company.Oh,how lucky you are!
[02:52.23]But I am afraid I won't stay there long.Why?
[02:57.79]The manager said he would take off a part of my salary
[03:03.43]if I did not wear my identification badage,
[03:08.19]and he would fire me if I could not arrive before 7:30 every morning.
