| SAM: | So, tell me about your new job. (1) What kind of work is it? |
| JOE: | It's in sales, like my last job, but it's a bigger company. |
| SAM: | Really? (2) people work there? |
| JOE: | I suppose there's about 60 people in our office. |
| SAM: | Oh, yeah. And (3) holiday can you take a year? |
| JOE: | Twenty-four days a year plus public holidays. |
| SAM: | Oh, that's much better than your last job. And (4) is it from your home? |
| JOE: | Well, it's really not that far and I don't have to catch the train to work every morning, which is great. |
| SAM: | Oh, lucky you. So, (5) does it take you to get to work in the morning? |
| JOE: | About 20 minutes by car. |
| SAM: | Wow. It sounds perfect. (6) time do you start work in the morning now? |
| JOE: | About nine. But sometimes I have to go on sales trips at the weekend as well. |
| SAM: | Oh? (7) idea that was that? |
| JOE: | I don't know, it's just something you have to do. |
| SAM: | And (8) do you have to do it? |
| JOE: | About once a month I think. They're going to give me a company car. |
| SAM: | Really! (9) model are they going to give you? |
| JOE: | A Golf, I think - and I can choose the colour. |
| SAM: | Oh, and (10) colours are there? |
| JOE: | Well, I can choose between black and dark blue. |
| SAM: | Only two! So (11) one do you prefer? |
| JOE: | Well, dark blue sounds better than black. |
| SAM: | Hmm, yeah. Well, congratulations, I'm sure you'll do really well. |
