What kind of career do you want?
Part A: Way to Speak Dialogue 1
A: Have you heard the good news?
B: No. What is there to be so excited about?
A: Jerry and Martha have finally decided to get married.
B: How nice! But what will Martha do about her job? Jerry works in another town.
A: I expect she’ll give up her job to be with him.
B: There’s a good chance that she’ll find a suitable job over there. Computer engineers are much in demand these days.
Part A: Way to Speak Dialogue 2
A: Have you been invited to the shower that Mary is giving for Amy?
B: Yes, I have. I’ve been wondering what gift I could get for her.
A: Same here. How about a vase or a table lamp?
B: No. I dare say she already has such things. I am thinking of presenting her with a year’s subscription to McCall’s.
A: That would be something unusual. She loves fashion books and sewing, you know. And I can vouch that there is not much possibility of anyone sending the same gift. But what shall I get for her?
B: A set of book ends, an alarm clock …
A: No, a magazine rack. That’s it. For your magazines!
B: good idea.
