The day I realized no one in the city was going to offer me a job, I went into The Salisbury on Leadenhall Street for a drink and something to eat. Mike the landlord was at the bar, pouring pints with one hand, making sandwiches with the other, and washing the glasses all at the same time – it39。d spent it gambling on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the point when I just agreed with Mum, and bowed myself towards the inevitable. ? If you ask me, and despite everything you hear, fortunately there are some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for example. When I left university, what I thought was that my mum would feel obliged to look after me if I returned home. So I packed up my belongings and went to London to get a job. I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree. But by that time, there were no jobs left, and I didn39。t around most of the time, and when he was, he didn39。t afford to support me any more. I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics. She39。d like to go on to get my master39。s no such thing as a free lunch. But given that I39。d have to some day. According to any number of people life39。t really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn39。t even last till the end of the year, let alone till I39。ve had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I39。s just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct ine tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep ing in, and all that39。Active reading(2) If you ask me 詞匯 ?
