M：Helen, what do you think of this advertisement in today's newspaper?
W：Didn't I tell you? It was also in last week's newspaper. I saw it there and so I inquired by letter. I had a phone call today from the company and I've got an interview tomorrow.
M：That's exciting. Do you think you've got the job?
W：Well, they seemed very eager on the phone. I do think that they'll probably offer me the job.
M：So, are you going to California?
W：I didn't say that. I may be offered the job, but I won't take the job unless they agree to pay for my return ticket. It would be hard work looking after two boys and three girls, so I want a proper salary, too. Even though living in California would probably be great fun.

Organic food is fruits and vegetables that are grown without adding any agricultural chemicals to them. Many people choose to eat organic food because they believe that such fruits and vegetables contain more nutrition, are free of chemicals and taste better.
According to analyses, organic fruits and vegetables are healthier for us as they have more nutrition in them. Research has shown that they contain 56 percent more calcium, 12 percent more protein and 290 percent more iron than regular fruits and vegetables. On average, fresh organic fruits and vegetables contain 50 percent more vitamins and minerals than food treated with chemicals. All of these things are necessary for our health.
Organic food is also free of chemicals. When growing organic crops, farmers do not use sprays to kill pests, nor do they use chemicals to make the crops grow faster. In addition, organic fruits and vegetables are free of chemicals used in growing conventional produce to make the fruits and vegetables appear brighter, taste sweeter and last longer. A small amount of these chemicals may remain on the produce, and then accumulate in our bodies, which can cause health problems, such as heart disease and cancer.
Finally, many people argue that since organic food is grown without adding chemicals, it tastes much better. All this has led many to the conclusion that organic fruits and vegetables are the best and healthiest choice for us.
