大城市小故事
Magda: (talking into phone) So…OK…hmm...yeah! That’s great news!
Olivia: So? Did you get the job?
Magda: Yes!
All: Oh…well done! Fantastic!
Magda: But...
Harry: There’s always a “but”...
Magda: It’s only on a trial basis...just for a month.
Harry: OK, that’s pretty normal actually. Most companies do that.
Olivia: But they are paying you, yes?
Magda: Oh yes, the salary isn’t bad. It’s not an 1)internship.
Harry: I did internships for ages...had to work for a month to get experience—no pay!—and then I never got offered a real job at the end. Like now! I’m doing this work for Johnny’s company—they want me to work at weekends too—Saturdays and Sundays—with no extra money!
Olivia: That’s terrible!
Harry: I don’t know what to do...I want to say“no”, but I’m afraid I’ll lose the job...
Olivia: You’ll have to think carefully about it!
Magda: Or you’ll be trying to do an internship again! Only joking! It can be important to do an internship if you want to get experience—things to put on your CV.
Harry: Yeah, I guess you’re right, but I’m past that stage...I’ve got lots of experience now.
Magda: I’m really worried though, about my first day, really nervous. I might be terrible!
Olivia: Don’t worry Magda, you’ll be great. Show them how good you are in the first month and they’ll be offering you more money by the second month!
