A Good Beginning

Ann: Hi, Bob. How are you?

Bob: Hello, Ann. I'm fine, thanks. And you?

Ann: Great. Look here, Bob, can you imagine yourself as a newspaper correspondent?

Bob: Why, of course. I like writing articles for the university newspaper. It's my hobby. I'm editor of the university newspaper, you know.

Ann: So you are an experienced journalist already. I'd like to be a journalist too, but I'm afraid I've no talent.

Bob: It's really a hard job. But when you see the article in the newspaper, you feel satisfied.

Ann: I'd like to know how it's done.

Bob: It takes a lot of time and effort indeed.

Ann: That's why you took so tired after each issue comes out.

Bob: Care killed the cat, they say. But I am joking, of course. It's not so difficult as it seems to be. The more experience you have the easier it gets. The devil is not so black as he is painted, you know.

Ann: Well, I'd better go now. I'm afraid to be late for my classes. Give my regards to Helen and Pete. See you.

Bob: Bye.
