原文:

Maria: Oh, hi Dave. Long time, no see!
Dave: Hi Maria. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by.
 
Maria: Come on in. [Thanks.] Take a seat. Would you like anything to drink? I have Sprite or orange juice.
 
Dave: Sprite would be fine. Uh, so, how have you been?
 
Maria: Oh, not bad. And you?
 
Dave: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really hectic 1 these days, and I haven't had time to relax.
 
Maria: By the way, what's your major anyway?
 
Dave: Hotel management.
 
Maria: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?
 
Dave: Uh... I haven't decided 2 for sure, but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?
 
Maria: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed majors to computer science. [Oh]. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.
 
Dave: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?
 
Maria: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship [Wow] that pays for all of my tuition 3 and books.
 
Dave: Wow. That's great.
 
Maria: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?
 
Dave: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.
 
Maria: Oh. What do you do there?
 
Dave: I'm a cook.
 
Maria: How do you like your job?
 
Dave: It's okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn't bad.
