Jay: Mr Jordan? You want to speak to me?
Mr Jordan: Yes. Come in, Jay. Please sit down.
Jay: I hope it’s not bad news.
Mr Jordan: Well... I’m sorry to say that there are some problems.
Jay: Oh?
Mr Jordan: Well, the first thing is... you’re arriving late for work nearly every day at the moment, Jay. I know you’re working a lot of hours.
Jay: Yeah, Itaskm working every evening this week, Mr Jordan.
Mr Jordan: Yes, I know. But our customers are complaining about you.
Jay: Oh? Really?
Mr Jordan:Yes, Jay. You’re very slow. Some customers have to wait over twenty minutes before you even speak to them.
Jay: Well, yeah, but the restaurant’s always really busy, Mr Jordan.
Mr Jordan: And you’re becoming careless — you’re bringing the wrong plates to the wrong tables, you’re forgetting the customers’ orders, and you’re not very nice to the customers when you make a mistake.
Jay: The customers like me. I always get very good tips. Mr Jordan: But that’s not all. The chef tells me that sometimes you even fall asleep in the kitchen.
Jay: Well, Mr Jordan, I’m ...
Mr Jordan: I think you should start looking for another job, Jay.
Jay: But Mr Jordan, I really need the money. You know I’m trying ...

6 T008 Listen to Jay’s conversation with his friend Nick. Were your answers to Exercise 5 correct?
Текст аудирования:
Nick: Hi Jay!
Jay: Hey! Hi Nick — good to hear from you!
Nick: So, how’s it going, mate?
Jay: Well, things are OK, I suppose. But I’m working really hard at Jordantasks and I don’t like it much.
Nick: Jordan’s? You’re joking? That big, exclusive restaurant in town?
Jay: Yep — that’s it.
Nick: I know Mr Jordan! He’s our next-door neighbour. Jay: Really?
Nick: Yes. Boring kind of guy!
Jay: He’s OK, I suppose. He’s not very happy with me at the moment...
Nick: So what are you doing at Jordan’s? Sorry, Jay, but you’re a terrible cook!
Jay: Nah, Nick — I’m a waiter. It’s very hard work, actually — I’m working about 50 hours a week at the moment.
Nick: Wow! You must be really tired ...
Jay: Yeah, I am, but I really need the money — Itaskm saving for my flying lessons.
Nick: Ah, so you’re still planning to be a pilot in the Flying Doctor Service?
Jay: You bet I am! I’m flying every weekend now. I need 5,000 hours of flying before I can join the service.
Nick: Wow! That’s a lot.
Jay: Yes, I know, but I’m really sure that it’s the best job for me. It’s exciting and you’re helping people at the same time.
Nick: Sounds great. But it’s not all like that, is it?
Jay: What do you mean?
Nick: Well, you see lots of really sick and badly injured people.
Jay: Yes, that’s true. People are often very frightened so you need to be very calm to be a good pilot. And you have to be patient too because you spend a lot of time just waiting, especially when there’s a serious accident. It sometimes takes a long time to get people into the plane.
Nick: Mmm, I bet... And how do you manage to …
