B1, B2 English Story.
7
Part of a community.
8
Sabrina lived in a large university city in England.
9
She had just finished studying an MA in nutrition and healthcare.
10
She wanted to stay in England and was looking for a job.
11
She had a two-year post-study working visa and wanted to make the most of it.
12
She liked living in England.
13
It was different to her home country,
14
but she liked the challenge and it was starting to feel like a home away from home.
15
After several months of searching,
16
she found the perfect job and applied to be a trainee graduate nutritionalist for the NHS.
17
She got some help from a careers advisor at her university and was confident with her application.
18
The only problem was that if she were successful in the role,
19
she would have to move to a rural part of the country.
20
She had only ever lived in big cities and wasn't sure if the quiet life would be for her.
21
She applied for other roles while she waited for the closing date
22
But her heart wasn't in them She wanted to work for
23
the NHS She was starting to run out of money
24
And really needed to start earning soon As she was almost
25
out of savings She had applied for two administration jobs at the university where she studied
26
and for a job in a shop.
27
She would accept whatever she got offered,
28
but ideally she wanted a job in the sector in which she had studied.
29
That was, after all, the whole point of her studying the master's degree.
30
She had loved her time studying and had learnt a lot about English culture.
31
She was now a huge fan of the local pub and she had joined a local climbing club just for women.
32
She had met some great people.
33
Most of her friends from her course had moved back to their hometowns or abroad.
34
Only a handful were left in the city
35
so if she moved she wouldn't have too many people to miss and they all promised that they would visit her.
36
She weighed up the pros and cons of moving to a quieter part of the country.
37
The pros were that it was cheaper to live there,
38
she could enjoy the outdoors and she would be able to afford her own flat.
39
If she stayed in the city,
40
she would have to stay in her noisy house share,
41
but the city had so much to offer in comparison to the quiet rural village.
42
She was worried she might get bored.
43
Sabrina was successful in gaining an interview and travelled to the hospital where the job would be based.
44
It took her a long time to get there as the train connections weren't great.
45
But once she arrived, she felt like she was in a fairy tale.
46
The countryside was beautiful.
47
She realised she would need to invest in a car if she moved there.
48
She arrived at the hospital,
49
signed in and waited to be called for her interview.
50
She felt a little intimidated,
51
but she knew she had the skills and experience needed for the role.
52
Her interview went smoothly and she was proud of herself.
53
Her first proper job interview in England.
54
It was quite formal, but the staff seemed friendly.
55
They gave her a tour of the officers
56
and they also gave her some tips on what there was to see and do in the surrounding area.
57
She had an hour before her train was due to depart so she took the opportunity to walk around the village.
58
It was bigger than she initially thought.
59
Everyone was friendly and said hello when she walked past.
60
She wasn't used to friendliness after living in a big city.
61
She came across a village hall and read the notice board,
62
which had lots of posters for clubs and societies.
63
There were yoga and aerobics classes,
64
weekly walking groups, craft sessions,
65
children's groups, an amateur dramatic society, a choir and more.
66
There seemed to be a lot going on in this little community
67
If Sabrina was successful and took the job She wanted to integrate,
68
make friends
69
and also be part of the community On her walk back
70
to the train station She strolled down a lovely little high street that had a florist,
71
a butcher's, a bakery, a fish and chip shop,
72
a hardware store, a gift and card shop and three different restaurants.
73
There was an Italian, an Indian and a Thai.
74
They all looked delicious.
75
Then, close to the train station were two pubs and a bar As it was a sunny day,
76
their beer gardens and outdoor tables were quickly filling up.
77
Sabrina wished she could stay a little longer and try a cocktail,
78
but her train was about to depart.
79
The interviewers told her she would know if she was successful by the end of the week.
80
Now she had to be patient and wait.
81
That night, Sabrina googled the village.
82
She looked into the community groups and activities and searched for accommodation should she be successful.
83
She found a lovely little one-bedroomed cottage.
84
It was small, but it had a lovely little garden and was within walking distance of the hospital.
85
She found an arts and crafts group she'd like to join and the timetable for the yoga classes.
86
She also found that there was a community clean-up group that met once a month to litter pick across the village.
87
The village and its surrounding areas attracted a lot of tourists in the summer months and with tourists comes litter.
88
That was something Sabrina would want to get involved with and it could be a wonderful way for her to make friends.
89
The more Sabrina read about the village,
90
the more she wanted to be part of the community.
91
She missed those aspects of her life back home where neighbours talked to each other and friends attended regular groups.
92
She was from a big city but with a village community.
93
As Sabrina pondered village life and what she would do if she weren't successful in the position,
94
her phone began to ring.
95
It was an unknown number.
96
Normally she didn't answer them,
97
but on this occasion she decided to take the risk.
98
It wasn't a spam number.
99
It was the team leader who had interviewed her.
100
She had got the job.
101
She couldn't believe it.
102
They gave her some feedback on her interview and explained the terms and conditions of the role.
103
She would start in six weeks.
104
Sabrina had enough time to hand in her notice at her house share,
105
find new accommodation and contact some groups in her new village.
106
She couldn't wait to make the move and finally be part of a community again.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
