Hector: If I hadn’t accepted a job as soon as I graduated, I would have traveled around South America all summer – just like you did. You were so carefree. Scott: You know, I shouldn’t have gone to South America. I should have taken the great job I was offered. After I returned from South America, it was too late. Hector : But my job is so depressing! The moment I started it, I hated it – on the very first day! That was five years ago, and nothing’s changed. I should have looked for another job right away. Scott: Well, start looking now. I posted my résumé online last month, and five companies contacted me right away. If I hadn’t posted my résumé, no one would have contacted me. I accepted one of the job offers. Hector: Really? What’s the job? Scott: It’s working as a landscape gardener. The moment I saw it, I knew it was right for me. Hector: But for me right now, the problem is that I get a very good salary and I just bought a house. If I hadn’t bought the house, I would be able to take a lower paying job. Scott: Well, I guess you can’t have everything. If I had a better salary, I would buy a house, too.

Exercise 1
Anna: Putting on a fashion show must be really fun! Marcus: Yeah, but it’s also challenging. All the clothes have to be numbered so that the models wear them in the right sequence. And they also have to be marked with the name of the right model. Anna: What happens if something is worn by the wrong model? Marcus: Well, if it doesn’t fit, it looks terrible! First impressions are very important. A lot of clothes are sold because they look good at the show. Anna: Do you have to rehearse for a fashion show? Marcus: Of course! There’s more involved than just models and clothes. Special lighting is used, and music is played during the show. Anna: It sounds complicated. Marcus: Oh, it is. And at some fashion shows, a commentary may be given. Anna: A commentary? What do you mean? Marcus: Well, someone talks about the clothes as they are shown on the runway by the models. Anna: It sounds like timing is really important. Marcus: Exactly. Everything has to be timed perfectly! Otherwise, the show may be ruined.
