Let's Learn English - Lesson 19: When Do I Start?:
| Anna | Hi there! Summer in Washington, D.C. is hot and sunny. I always ride the Metro to work. Riding the Metro is cool and fast. But today it’s closed. So, I am walking to work. |
| (On the phone) Ms. Weaver, I am late this morning. The Metro is closed. So, I am walking to work. | |
| Caty | That’s too bad. It’s really hot today. |
| Anna | Yes it is. |
| Caty | When you arrive, please come to my office. I have important news to tell you. |
| Anna | Of course. Good-bye. My boss has news for me. The question is: Is it good news or bad news? |
| (At work) | |
| Anna | Hello, Ms. Weaver. |
| Caty | Anna, I have good news and I have bad news. Which do you want to hear first? |
| Anna | The good news. No … okay, the bad news. |
| Caty | The bad news is you are not good at reading the news. |
| Anna | Oh. I am very sorry to hear that. |
| Caty | So, starting next month you will not read the news. |
| Anna | Next month is July. You are firing me in July. |
| Caty | No. I am not firing you in July … or in August or in September. That is the good news. |
| Anna | Okay. You are not firing me. I am not reading the news. What will I be doing? |
| Caty | Well, you are good at asking questions. You are good at talking to people. You are good at showing your feelings. And you are great at being silly. |
| Anna | Thank you, Ms. Weaver. But what does all that mean? |
| Caty | I have a new assignment for you! Your skills are perfect for a new show … a children’s show. |
| Anna | A children’s show ... That is awesome! When do I start? |
| Caty | You start next month. Start thinking of ideas for the show. |
| Anna | I have tons of ideas! I can show children what it’s like in outer space ... |
| Caty | Great … |
| Anna | … or in the deep, dark ocean … |
| Caty | Those are great ideas, Anna. Please go think of more … at your desk. |
| Anna | Yes. What other things can I show them? Mt. Everest! Everyone has different skills. You have skills. I have skills. The important thing is to know what you are good at. Until next time! |
