W: I couldn’t find Tom in the playground.
M: Oh, he was here in the classroom just now, and Miss White asked him to go to her office. He’s probably still there.
M: The movie is a masterpiece. Don’t you think so? I wonder how the director could make something so extraordinary.
W: You don’t really mean it, do you? I’m glad the two hours of suffering in that cinema has finally ended.
M: The rain has stopped. Come on! It’s time to set off.
W: But look at the clouds. I suggest we stay here till the sun comes out.
M: Where were you? I’ve been waiting for you for an hour!
W: I’m sorry, but the taxi I took got in an accident. I was not allowed to leave until it was safe.
M: Well, at least you’re not injured. Come on. Let’s go inside.
W: Dr. Reed really packed a lot of information in. I’ve taken so many notes!
M: Yeah, it was a really interesting topic, especially the part about traditional customs in different countries.
W: Excuse me, can you show me how to use this fitness equipment?
M: Sure. Keep the back straight, and maintain the tension.
W: Got it.
M: Are you focusing on strength training, or just general fitness?
W: General fitness, and I need to lose a couple of kilos.
M: Well, if you want to do something a bit personalized, give me a shout. I’m happy to help you build a program.
M: Lucy, why did you turn down my sister Janice’s invitation to the barbecue?
W: Well, I have other plans...
M: Oh, don’t lie to me. You told me yesterday that you didn’t know what to do for the weekend. Did you have a quarrel with Janice or something?
W: Oh, no. It’s not like that. You know it’s a barbecue, which means meat would be involved. I just hate to make others feel awkward since I eat no meat at all.
M: Awkward? All of my sisters’ friends embrace differences with both of their arms. Plus, I already told my sister to prepare many vegetables for you.
W: Oh, sorry. I didn’t know that.
W: Good morning, everyone. On today’s show, we’ve got Chris Swinson, whose new book is about work-life balance. Hello, Chris.
M: Hello, Anna.
W: So, Chris, tell us about your book and how the work-life balance has been changing?
M: Well, in the more traditional workplaces, people’s working lives and private lives are, or were, clearly divided. But except for legal working hours, people sometimes stay late in the office and work in the evenings. This is called working overtime.
W: OK, and what else?
M: Well, in these environments, it isn’t common for people to work on weekends or holidays. And they are free to focus on non-work areas of life, such as music, sports, spending time with family and friends. It’s important and healthy.
W: Yeah! So what has changed? How are things different now?
W: Welcome to ABC Controls, David. I am Cathy, the manager of our engineering department. We have an entry-level engineering position.
M: What are the essential qualifications required?
W: We require you to have at least a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering. It would be great if you had some hands-on programming experience or skills relating to developing applications.
M: My final school project was developing a mobile application, so I’m fairly competent in developing mobile and web applications.
W: That’s good to hear. And what are your strengths?
M: I am a diligent person and a fast learner. My friends also find me very easy to work with.
W: David, it’s nice to meet you. I can tell that you are a good candidate. Expect to hear from us within a week about the job.
M: Nice meeting you too. Thank you for your time.
M: Today’s show begins in South America, where a deadly natural disaster has hit the nation of Colombia. It started with heavy rain on Friday night. That caused three rivers around the city of Mocoa, which is located in the southwestern part of Colombia, to overflow.
The flooding washed a stream of mud into Mocoa. Many people were sleeping when the disaster struck. People said it moved so fast that they had to run for their lives.
Colombian officials say more than 200 people were killed, hundreds more injured, and more than 100 people still missing. Colombia’s president expects those numbers to rise as rescuers search for survivors. More than 1,000 soldiers and police officers have been involved in the rescue effort.
They report that 80 percent of the roads in the area are damaged. So it is hard to reach people who might be trapped. Rescuers are racing against the clock to save lives.
