W Nope. He’s out of town this week. M So does that mean it’s just us for dinner? W Yeah. Is that a problem?

M Hey, can I ask you for a favor? W Sure.
M I’m trying to learn how to cook. Eating out so much has really been costing me a lot of money. (8) W That’s a good idea. What do you want to make? Shall I teach you how to roast a chicken?
M Well, maybe later. Right now, I have this pack of eggs… Unfortunately, I have never made eggs before. W What? You don’t know how to cook eggs?
M No. My mom always made everything for me. That’s why I’m asking for your help. W O, I’ll help you. Start by boiling some water. (9) That’s the easiest way to cook an egg.

W How was your economics class?
M Well, to be honest with you, I fell asleep during the lecture. W Was it that boring?
M No, it wasn’t the teacher’s fault. The problem is that I can’t stay awake for a two-hour lecture. I have been working in the evening at the hospital. (10) W Isn’t that going to affect your grades?
M Probably. But I need to work to pay my school fees. (11)
W Maybe you should talk to the financial aid office. There’s no point in working so hard to make money if you are just going to fail your classes.
M But they are going to try to offer me a bunch of loans. I am trying to avoid going into debt. That’s why I’ve been working!
W O, then I have a better idea. Why don’t you go to the student employment office and see if they can help you find another job? (12) Even if you have to work, there’s no reason why you should work at night. M That’s a great idea. I actually have a break before my next class, so I’ll go there now. (12) Text 9
M Is that a new computer?
W Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. (13) Isn’t it nice? M It is. I can’t believe it’s so thin! (14) What kind of computer is it?
W It’s an Apple MacBook Air. It’s very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn’t be happier with it.
M Do they have any other colors besides that one?
W I don’t know. I like this color. I’ve ordered a pink cover for it, but it won’t arrive for a couple of weeks. M Does the computer have a disk drive?
W No, it doesn’t, but I don’t need one. All of my documents are online.
M Well, you’re very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs.
W I already have. Today, I spent the day at the café working on my résumé. (15) This computer has great battery life.
M Well, that’s good. But the café near here is always so crowded.
W I know. But I like to work in busy cafés. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too. (16) Text 10
