Conversation One
W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share ajob, don’t you?
M: Yes. We’ve shared a sales job atSonatech for about two years now.
W: Well, how do you divide up yourschedule?
M: You know we are both sales representatives,and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it wasdifficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursdayand Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in theoffice on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back onWednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the question and hecouldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. So he had to ask thepeople to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didn’t like towait until the next day to have their questions answered.
W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.
M: So, finally we decided that Arthur wouldwork in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Now if someone callswith the question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in theafternoon. This way, people get their questions answered the same day.
W: What do you do about vacations?
M: Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeksof vacation to full-time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week.

Conversation Two
W: May I see your license, please?
M: But officer, did I do something wrong?
W: Do you mean to say you didn’t see thespeed limit sign back there?
M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn’t.
W: In other words, you drove by too fast toread it. The sign says 35m/h. A school is just nearby, you know?
M: Don’t get me wrong, but my speedometerdidn’t read much faster than that.
W: Then, why is it that my radar showed youare going 45? Let me put it another way. I’m going to give you a ticket. Again,may I see your license, please?
M: Here it is, officer. But let me explain.I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn’t makeit on time. So...
W: Uha, just a minute, here. Your licenseis no longer valid. You should have renewed it two weeks ago. I’m going to haveto write you up for that, too.
M: What? Really?
W: Your license becomes invalid on yourbirthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here. You are inviolation of the law—driving without a valid license.
M: I’m sorry, madam. I hadn’t realizedthat.
W: Here’s the ticket for not having a validlicense. But I’m only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speedlimit. Be careful next time.
M: Yes, madam, officer, I will. Thank you.
