FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
Manager of the restaurant: So you are looking for a summer job at my restaurant?
*je gebruikt alleen an als het woord dat er op volgt met een medeklinkerklank begint*
Applicant: Yes, that is right. I think that I’m pretty good at the job
Manager of the restaurant: Do you have any work experience with working behind the checkout or with cooking?
Applicant: Yes, I can do both. I have worked behind the checkout before and I’ve followed a cooking class.
Manager of the restaurant: Is that true? That is pretty nice. So what sort of recipes can you make?
Applicant: I’ve specialized myself in the Asian kitchen. I can make things like spring rolls or sushi.
Manager of the restaurant: Looking at your CV I see you are only 16 years old and still at school, so may I ask what your plans are for the future?
*your is een persoonlijk voornaamwoord en moet dus niet worden verward met de samentrekking you're*
Applicant: I’m studying biology and want to become a doctor
Manager of the restaurant: Those are big plans, young man. So, about your job, what work times do you prefer?
Applicant: I like to work in the morning or afternoon because in the evening I want to hang out with my friends and enjoy my summer holiday.
Manager of the restaurant: I can understand that. Is it okay if I put your work time from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m.?
Applicant: I have no problem with that. Oh, and do I have to work at the weekends? I just want to know that.
Manager of the restaurant: No, you needn't/that isn’t necessary. I have a few other students that also have a part time job and they are already working at the weekends, so you are free to go and stand where you want then.
Applicant: Thanks. I also want to know what my payment will be because that is the whole thing which I’m working for
*where kan als betrekkelijk voornaamwoord alleen bij plaatsaanduidingen worden gebruikt*
Manager of the restaurant: Your salary will be about £5 an hour. 6 hours each day, 5 days a week is about £200 each week. That is of course a lot of money that you will earn.
Applicant: Wow, that is almost more than my dad earns in a month.
*then kan alleen als bijwoord van tijd worden gebruikt*
He will be proud of me. Can I ask one last question?
Manager of the restaurant: Yes, of course you can.
Applicant: When can I start working here?
Manager of the restaurant: Well, because of the many part time jobs at my restaurant and the time of working you chose I think in about three weeks
Applicant: Three weeks! But that are the last days of my summer holiday.
Manager of the restaurant: I’m sorry but that is how life goes.

I am in the fifth form of the Erfgooiers College in Holland. I love football. Later, I want to be a footballer in England.
Employer: Ok. Well, you have written an application, but we still have a few questions. Why did you apply at a
camping?
*er bestaat wel een werkwoord to solicit, maar dat betekent een verzoek indienen of tippelen*
Applicant: That’s because I like people that go on holiday.
They’re always friendly and sociable.
Employer: Ok. Have you any work experience?
*hoewel have you in het Brits Engels mogelijk is zul je meestal de constructie do you have of have you got tegenkomen*
Applicant: Yes, I’ve worked at the market at a fruiterer,
when I was twelve years old, but I moved away to another city. That’s the reason that I stopped with the job.
Employer: Ok, that sounds very good.
And did you get on with people? Because, you always have to work with people, children but adults as well.
For example at the swimming pool and at the activities for the children.
Applicant: Yes, of course. I never had any big problems with people.
Employer: When do you want to start?
Applicant: I think in about 2 weeks, because I have school and a lot of exams to do.
Employer: And what kind of position at the camping do you want?
Applicant: What are the positions?
Employer: The positions are: bath superintendent, organising activities or working in the kitchen in a restaurant.
Applicant: I’m doubting between the bath superintendent or working in the restaurant.
Employer: Ok. You must know it after 2 weeks.
*above kan alleen in de betekenis van boven worden gebruikt*
Employer: You must be at the reception at 10 o'clock in the morning. Have you some questions about the job?
