    Part-time Jobs

    People are talking about their part-time jobs. What jobs do they have? Listen and number
    the pictures.

    1. A: How’s your part-time job going, Ted?


    B: It’s great. I love it.
    A: What exactly do you do there?
    B: Well, I have to cut up fruit and make cakes and things. I’m learning a lot about how
    desserts are made. I’m also getting really good at doing dishes.
    A: I’m sure!
    B: And I also get to try everything we make.
    A: Oh, that’s great.
    B: Yeah. The only problem is the heat. It gets really hot because of the ovens.
    2. A: So, do you have a part-time job, Roxanne?
    B: Yeah. I’m a camp counselor.
    A: Oh really? What do you do there?
    B: I’m the sports instructor. I teach basketball and soccer, and I get to carry a big
    whistle. It’s fun! The kids have a lot of energy, and they’re really funny.
    A: I bet.
    B: The bad part is the money. The job doesn’t pay very much at all.
    3. A: Did you manage to get a part-time job, Maria?
    B: Yeah, finally. I’m working down at the Plaza Cinema.
    A: Oh, selling soda and popcorn?
    B: No, I’m in the ticket booth.
    A: So, do you get to see all the latest movies for free?
    B: That’s right.
    A: Wow, that’s a great deal.
    B: I know. The only problem is the hours. The last show is at midnight, so I get home
    really late – about 1:30 in the morning.
    4. A: Did you find a part-time job?
    B: Yes. It took me a while though. I looked for jobs in restaurants, but couldn’t find one.
    I finally managed to get a job in a factory.
    A: Oh, that sounds terrible.
    B: Actually, it’s not bad, and the money’s good. It’s a clothing factory. They make shirts
    there, and I put the shirts into boxes.
    A: Sounds easy.
    B: Yes, it’s very easy work. The problem is, it’s also really boring work.
    5. A: How’s your part-time job going?
    B: It’s going pretty well. I’m working for one of my professors. I’m helping her out with
    this big research project she’s doing. I’m entering her data into the computer.
    A: That sounds like interesting work.
    B: It’s not bad. And I can work at home, so that’s nice, too. My only complaint is with
    the
    money. She doesn’t really pay me enough.
    A: That’s too bad.
    6. A: Did you get a new part-time job, Cindy?
    B: Yeah, I’m working in a store. It’s fun.
    A: What kind of store?
    B: It’s a department store. I’m working in the sporting goods section. The people I work
    with are really friendly and helpful. And I’m learning a lot about sports equipment, too.
    A: How are the hours?
    B: That’s the only thing I don’t like. I have to work every weekend.
    Students are interviewing for part-time jobs. Have they ever done the work before? Listen and
    check the correct answer.
    1. A: Have you ever worked in a department store before?
    B: No, I haven’t, but it’s something I’d really like to try.
    2. A: Is this the first time you’ve applied for a job as a waitress?
    B: Well, not exactly – I worked behind the counter in the school cafeteria this year. I
    know it’s not really the same, but it is similar.
    3. A: Do you have any experience with office work?
    B: No, but I’m sure it’s something I could learn quickly.
    4. A: Have you ever modeled designer clothing before?
    B: Yes, I did some modeling last summer, and I was even in a few fashion shows.
    5. A: It’s a pretty easy job. You just take people’s dogs out for a walk twice a day.
    B: Well, I’ve never done it before, but it does sound pretty easy.
    6. A: We’re looking for someone to work at the hotel reception desk.
    B: Well, I had a similar job in another hotel last summer and I really enjoyed it.
