Script
1. John: When I come home from school for the summer, my routine changes. My parents have all these rules and stuff. I have to getup early and help around the house. If I don’t go out by 7:30 at
nig ht, I have to stay home; they think it’s too late. At least I don’t have to cook, though. That’s the best part about going home: mom’s cooking.
2. Susan: I just moved into this retirement community. I like it and everything, but I’m not used to all the rules. I can only have visitors during visiting hours, and I have to tell the clerk at the front desk when I go out shopping and things. Well, at least I don’t have to clean anymore.
3. Eli: I like the variety of living in a dorm, you can eat in the cafeteria, or you can eat out with friends. There’s always somebody in the next room or down the hall to do things with. And you can stay out as late as you want. But I must say it is kind of noisy and hard to get a lot of sleep.
4. Tracy: I like choosing my own schedule. I decide when I wake up, when I go to bed, when to study, and I can cook what I want to eat. I don’t like having to clean and do my own laundry everyday, but if I don’t, my room will be dirty, and I won’t have any clean clothes.

1. Leslie: could practice foreign languages

3. Nima: learned to work on computers
4. Anna: had many chances to ski
Script
1. Leslie: I worked in an accessories shop in the middle of London. I used to work on Fridays and Sundays. It was quite tiring – I was on my feet the whole time. And I had to do quite menial things, like tidy up. But I got of customers from foreign countries. They often told me about where they were from and I liked talking to them.
2. Arthur: I finally got a promotion at the fast food place. I was allowed to work the cash register, which w as challenging because it had many pictures. It’s for people who couldn’t read or write who wanted to work as cashiers. So when the customer said, “Can I get a two-piece with fries?” you’d look for the picture with the two pieces of chicken and fries. I wo uld see how fast I could find the picture while the customer was telling me the order. It was like a game.
3. Nima: My first job was data entry at an insurance company. It wasn’t very hard. I pretty much
did the same thing all day. The great thing about it was that I learned a lot about computers. Every time the computer crashed I had to figure out how to fix it. My knowledge of computers is what got me the job I have now.
4. Anna: I was working in Switzerland, actually, as a maid in a tourist hotel. It was up in the mountains, so you could ski after you got off work. It was cool, since I love skiing. I made good money, and the scenery was magnificent.
