Making it easier
- Read all the exercises before you listen to the podcast.
- Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know in a dictionary.
- Play the podcast as many times as you need.
- Play each part of the podcast separately.
- Read the transcript after you have listened to the podcast.
Making it harder
- Listen to the podcast before you read the exercises.
- Only play the podcast once before answering the questions.
- Play the whole podcast without a break.
- Don't read the transcript.

Hello! I want to tell you about my first job. I was collector. My duties were to managed clients debts and earned money for my company. It wasn't so interesting for me that's why I left this job after three month.
Hello again! I'm Nikolina from Bulgaria. Today I'm going to talk about my first job. I worked for the first time when I was nineteen. I was masseuse and I made massages on the beach in the seaside resort Golden Sands, Bulgaria. It was so enjoyable. When i didn't have work I did sunbath with my colleague Tania. She was cute and we were realy good friends. I spent great summer and saved some money. With these money i paid my exams for university. When I went at university I worked at petrol station. I worked twelve hours a day when I didn't have lectures. Now I'm unemployed and learn English every day :))
Hi everybody. I live in Genova with my husband. my husband is doing PhD now. I have came here also with student visa type. but, unfortunately I had to give up studding. I want to find a job, because as you know we live just with the money that my husband earn. it would be enough for 2 person if they do not spend so much. also, we can not save money. I went to jobless office for asking a job, but they said:"your visa type is student, you can not work more than 20 hour a week!"
then, I applied for changing my visa type to the family kind. after that I hope that I would be find a job here.
I had my first work when I was 12. I worked at dolphinarium, in my hometown - Evpatoria, which is in Crimea Ukraine. I danced with my partner during the breaks in the show. We danced Latin and Standart programme. In Latina we danced jive, cha-cha-cha and rumba, and in Standart we danced Slow Waltz around the pool. All people applauded when we danced.
I earned 25 grivnas for one show. In the end of the summer I bought a new white phone for the money I earned for my dancing.
I advise everyone to give your sons and daughters to ballroom dancing.It's very beautiful, but it could also be quite an expensive hobby for someone.
My first job was when I was seventheen.I worked as a waitress in a restaurant near home.Although I worked hard(mostly on holydays),it was a great experience to learn about some important values.I really enjoyed it because I could meet me friends at weekends and have some beers and tapas(as we say here to name a litle meal)with them.Finally it let me earn enough money to go on a summer trip to study french in Montpellier before going to University.
Why my connection are always lost if I am going in to this page please help me to solve these problem thank you very much.
