I sell writing paper, envelopes, ball pens, pencils and colored postcards. I walk to work every morning. I don39。t work on Saturday afternoon or Sunday and I have a threeweek holiday in the summer. Instructor: Regine was seventeen then. Now she39。s twentytwo. Her life is very different. Listen to this television interview. Interviewer: Regine, at seventeen you worked in a big shop. Now you are the manager and you are only twentytwo. From seventeen to twentytwo. Five years to success. Can you tell us? The secret of your success? Regine: The 39。secret39。, as you call it, is work. When I was seventeen, I lived at home. I walked to the shop every morning. I saved my money and I went to evening classes. I worked in a good department and I sold so much that I got a good mission. I really wanted to be a success. Now I39。m the manager. Interviewer: Congratulations, Regine. But please tell us ... do you like your job? Are you happier? Regine: You are asking me two questions. The first answer is 39。yes39。 and the second answer is definitely 39。no39。. Good afternoon, my name is Schwartz. That is SCHWARTZ and I e from New York. My wife and I would like a double room with a shower. I have our passports here. We are hoping to stay for about a week. I have a question. Do you know where I can get two tickets for the performance at the theatre tonight? On my first day in London I felt hungry, so I went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I waited for ten minutes, but nobody came to serve me. Then I saw that there were no waiters. The customers stood in a queue and got their food themselves. That was my first experience of a selfservice restaurant.— Is that Mr. Smith39。s son? — No, it isn39。t. It39。s Mr. Man39。s son. — Is he Irish? — No, he isn39。t.

Thank you. — Whose handbag is that? — Which one? — The big leather one. — Oh, that39。s Miss Clark39。s. — What are you looking at? — I39。m looking at some stamps. — Are they interesting? — Yes. They are very rare ones. — Where39。s Miss Green at the moment? — In her office. — What39。s she doing there? — She39。s typing, I think. — Are there any pencils in the drawer? — No, I39。m sorry. There aren39。t any. — Are there any ballpoint pens then. — Yes. There are lots of ballpoints. — I need some oil, please. — How much do you need, sir? — Three pounds, please. — Thank you, sir. — Is there any shampoo in the cupboard? — No, I39。m sorry.
