Let's find a cafe and have a quick snack or a light meal.

And I could really do with a refreshing drink.

I'm dying of hunger.

I need a decent meal,

not just a quick snack.

So let's better find a restaurant.

I know you have a healthy appetite,

but you had a hearty breakfast a short while ago.

I had breakfast three hours ago,

so I'm already hungry again.

Well, how about having a soft drink and a bag of potato chips now,

and a proper lunch later?

Potato chips will only spoil your appetite.

They're not a nourishing meal.

Besides, they're processed food.

They're not a healthy choice.

They contain food additives.

Processed foods may damage our health in the long run.

Don't you know that?

It's perfectly healthy to enjoy your favorite snack food once in a while,

as long as you consume these foods in moderation.

Look!

This restaurant looks good, and the set menu is reasonably priced.

They have both light meals and substantial meals,

and they even have home-cooked food too.

Isn't that amazing?

Maybe we could have dinner here too.

And it seems to have a pleasant setting.

Let's go in.

I hope we'll not get food poisoning or something.

How did you and Nicholas meet, Chloe?

We met in the last year of high school through a mutual friend.

I fell madly in love with him from the moment I met him.

It was certainly love at first sight.

I felt so comfortable to be with him.

He was caring, patient, loyal and sweet.

I knew at once that he was the love of my life,

but at first, I was not sure if my love was returned or not.

Within a few days, however,

he had told me that he was desperately in love with me, too.

That's so romantic.

We were a perfect match for one another.

We had no fights, no arguments.

So you got married?

Unfortunately, we both moved to different cities for university.

We were so busy with our new lives that we finally decided to break up.

A long-distance relationship was not an option for us.

What happened next?

We both ended up working in the same city after graduation,

so we met again after four years.

We decided to get back together and just pick up where we left off.

We rekindled our romance and decided to try to make the relationship work again.

A couple of weeks later,

we realized that we wanted to make a commitment to each other.

And when Nicholas asked me to marry him,

I immediately accepted his proposal.

I'm sure we will always love each other unconditionally.

Neither of us would ever consider having an affair with someone else.

Hey, Monica!

Have you and David moved into your new house yet?

Yes, we moved in a few days ago.

So, what is your house like?

Please describe it to me.

It's such a cozy home.

It's a big old two-story house.

You enter the house from the covered front porch entry.

The door opens into a small foyer that leads into a spacious living room,

which has a wonderful view of the backyard.

There are also two lovely light airy bedrooms which overlook the garden,

2 full bathrooms A cozy study And a front-entry two-car garage The bedrooms have walk-in closets

The kitchen has great granite counters A wonderful island and custom cabinets There is also a covered patio,

which is great for entertaining or spending quality family time outdoors.

The backyard is fully landscaped and with an irrigation system.

I'd like to invite you this weekend to our housewarming party.

Thanks.

I'd love to come and see your house.

I'm sure it looks awesome.

I'd love to move out of my awful one-bedroom apartment too.

It's in such a dilapidated building.

You go into a drafty hall,

down a chilly hallway, and into this really cramped room.

I want to buy a place of my own,

but there's a shortage of affordable housing here,

And I don't want to take out a big mortgage.

Well, I'm sure you'll finally be able to find your dream home, too.

What do you do for a living, Rose?

I am a personal assistant.

And what does your job consist of?

Well, my role is to assist my manager with her daily tasks and arrange her schedule.

I have to make sure nothing goes wrong.

I am her right hand.

I answer phone calls, take notes,

schedule meetings, and send emails on behalf of my manager as well as organize events.

I make appointments for her and I make sure she keeps her appointments.

When my manager has to travel,

I make the reservations for her.

When she has to give a presentation,

I make all the preparations that are required.

You must be a very well-organized person to be able to do all this.

100

Yes, I am.

101

Every morning I make a list of everything I need to do.

102

I also keep a record of everything my manager does at work and set myself targets.

103

I do my best to achieve my goals.

104

You seem really busy.

105

Do you work on weekends too?

106

Tours tend to be 9 a.m to 5 p.m on weekdays,

107

but sometimes I work overtime.

108

I'm very used to being called or texted early in the morning

109

or late at night with problems and having to sort them out.

110

I've sorted issues at 9.15 a.m on a Sunday when I should be resting,

111

but I knew it was urgent.

112

What is the best part of being a personal assistant?

113

I love how varied the job can be,

114

and you never know what you'll be doing next.

115

I have to make a choice about my career and life,

116

and I'm not sure what to choose.

117

My girlfriend has been given the chance of working for a big company in New York.

118

Wow, New York?

119

That sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime So, did she say yes?

120

She decided to take this opportunity,

121

yes So she asked me to move to New York with her next month I love her very much,

122

and we even plan to get married next year But I'm not sure I can quit my job here

123

I love my workplace, my colleagues, and my life here.

124

I'd much prefer just to stay here.

125

Anyway, I'm going to consider all the options before I decide.

126

Just think of the bright future you might have in New York.

127

There are many opportunities there.

128

I'm sure you could find another job easily.

129

And you're lucky to have a girlfriend like Martha.

130

You can't just break up with her because of this.

131

I know, but it's a tough choice.

132

Well, I think you're just taking the soft option if you choose to stay here.

133

You shouldn't pass up the opportunity of a life in New York.

134

Well, we all face difficult choices now and then.

135

I strongly advise you sit down together and talk about your dreams for the future,

136

and see if they are the same dreams.

137

I think you should let Martha move there first,

138

and you can go on weekends and see how you feel about life there.

139

Thanks a lot for that.

140

I think that's really good advice.

141

I'm going to weigh up all the options and come to a decision.

142

You have an amazing house, Paul.

143

Have you always had such a glamorous life?

144

Not at all.

145

I grew up in a poor family where money was always tight.

146

We couldn't even afford to pay for electricity or our phone bill.

147

My father died when I was 7 years old.

148

My mother raised us by working as a cook.

149

I hoped that when I was a grown-up,

150

money would never be in short supply for me anymore.

151

My dream was not to have just a steady income.

152

I wasn't interested in just earning a good salary.

153

I wanted to make big money.

154

I started making money at school when I sold the cookies my mother had made for me to other children.

155

I also delivered newspapers around my neighborhood to earn money At 17,

156

I had to work three jobs at the same time to make ends meet

157

And did well enough to support my family

158

and save a little money I put this money in a bank account and hardly ever made a withdrawal from it

159

When I left school, I bought a barbershop

160

I got a really good deal because I found a shop that was going cheap.

It was a pretty profitable business,

162

but after a few years,

163

I decided to set up a car rental business with my savings combined with a bank loan.

By the time I was 30,

165

I had already made a small fortune.

167

dedicating 12 hours each day.

I spend it wisely.
