Hi John, how are you?

Hello Sarah, I’m fine, thanks. How about you?

I’m very well, thank you. Guess what? I have a new job! 

Really? Where do you work? 

I work for a restaurant chain. 

A restaurant chain? Sounds interesting. What do you do? 

I go to a restaurant as one of the guests and check if everything is OK.

So you’re like a restaurant inspector?

Exactly. I go to a restaurant, have a meal, check if everything is clean and if the service is good.

Wow! That’s a great job! Do they need any more people?
