Dialogue: W: What can I do for you? M: It's about the new clerks you need for the offices. I'm wondering how many people you want to employ. W: That depends on what you would like. M: I think I'd need about 30 hours a week, including some Saturdays. What do you think? W: That's what I was thinking too. We don't want someone who has never worked in the office before. M: Yes. It might be helpful if one could speak a second language. W: That might prevent too many people asking for the jobs. What about pay, David? M: What do you think would be the best to offer?

Question: Who will get a higher pay? - Those who are well educated. - Those who have much experience. - Those who can speak a second language.
(Answer)
Those who have much experience.

Ques: Dialogue: M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy. W: So you are not sure which to go for? M: That's it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year's contract, and that's a definite minus. It could be renewed, but you never know. W: I see. So it's much less secure. But you don't need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23. M: That's true. W: What about the salaries? M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I'll be getting the equivalent of about 22,000 pounds a year there, but only 20,000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I'd have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching. W: Mmm... M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children's classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching. W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I'd imagine you'd be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit. M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I'd be stuck in the school all day. Question: What does the woman think of the job at the Language School? - Difficult but rewarding. - Varied and interesting. - Time-consuming and tiring.
Ans:
Varied and interesting.
