Thomas: Yes. I want to work and save money for college.

Interviewer: I see. Now, do you have any work experience?

Thomas: Yes. I work on Saturdays for my father.

Interviewer: Oh, yes. What does he do?

Thomas: He is the manager of a boat hire company. I help look after the boats – clean them and so on. I also look after the customers sometimes if my father is busy.

Interviewer: I see. How do you do that?

Thomas: Well sometimes I show them the different boats they can hire – for day trips and holidays and so on.

Interviewer: Very interesting. And do you enjoy that?

Thomas: Very much. It’s better than cleaning the boats!
