MEGNÉZEM AZ EPIZÓDOT: 

This is the Smith family. They have a language school. The language school is new, but already very popular. Everybody in the family is very busy and they don’t have time to do the housework, so now, they need a housekeeper to help them. Mrs Smith has an interview with an applicant for the job at the moment.

Mrs Smith: So, Miss Taylor, can I ask you a few questions?
Sharon Taylor: Certainly.
Mrs Smith: Well Miss Taylor, as you know, we are very busy at this time of the year. Can you work 6 days a week?
Sharon Taylor: Yes. I’m single, I have no family, so I can work 6 days a week.
Mrs Smith: That’s great!            
Sharon Taylor: I can do the cleaning; I can do the washing and the ironing.
Mrs Smith: And can you use the washing machine and the dishwasher?
Sharon Taylor: Of course! I can use any kind of household appliance.
Mrs Smith: Perfect! And Miss Taylor, can you cook as well?
Sharon Taylor: To tell the truth, I can do any kind of housework but unfortunately, I can’t cook.
Mrs Smith: OK, it doesn’t really matter. I’m just curious. And Miss Smith, we have two dogs. Can you take the dogs for a walk in the mornings?
Sharon Taylor: That’s not a problem, I like animals. I have two cats at home.
Mrs Smith: Thank you Miss Taylor. I think you are the person we need. I have a final question. Can you start tomorrow?
Sharon Taylor: I’m very sorry, but I can’t start tomorrow, but I can start on Monday. Is that all right for you?
Mrs Smith: Oh, absolutely. It is not a problem if you can’t start tomorrow. You can start on Monday.
Sharon Taylor: Thank You Mrs Smith.
Mrs Smith: Thank You Miss Taylor. See you on Monday at 7.00 am!
