    Alistair! Have you found work expe-

    rience to do?

    Not* yet, Dad.

    In that case...

    I’ve got a sugges-

    tion…

    Oh? So you’re really interested

    in tattooing?

    Please welcome* Hayat. She’s going to

    help* out in our class.

    This is Eleanor. She’s going to work

    here for a week.

    Hiya*!

    Hey, Bert! There’s a guy*

    here who wants work experience

    with us.

    You made a great choice*, Alistair. You’ll see that my work as a diplo-mat is really fascinating, although I don’t have a post* for the moment.

    I really hate you,

    Dad.

    So you haven’t found anywhere* to work?

    What are you thinking of doing in the future?

    I’d like to be a security guard at a club*. Then

    my friends can get* in. But working at night? No,

    thanks!
