Conversation
11. Work with a partner. Act out the following dialogue.
What is your major?
| Tim : | Hey, Diane, what are you doing here? |
| Diane : | Hi, Tim, how are you? I’m waiting for a friend. |
| Tim : | I heard you’re going to graduate this summer. Is that true? |
| Diane : | Yes. If everything goes alright, I’ll be getting my Bachelors degree in August. Then I need to start looking for a job. |
| Tim : | I had to do that last year. It wasn’t easy. Do you have any job offers? |
| Diane : | No, not yet. I sent out a lot of resumes, but I didn’t receive many responses. It’s pretty hard to find a job right now. |
| Tim : | What’s your major? |
| Diane : | Psychology. |
| Tim : | That was my major when I started college, but I switched to engineering after the first year. |
| Diane : | I think it’s easier for engineers to find a job. |
| Tim : | I’m not sure about that. It took me about 3 months to find a job. I finally was able to get a job after I put my resume on one of those job websites. |
| Diane : | Anyway, it really doesn’t matter. If I can’t find a job I’ll probably go back to school to get my Master’s degree. |

· Youth is a period of missed opportunities. (C. Connolly)
· If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. (Milton Berde)
· You will never write a good book until you have written some bad ones. (Bernard Shaw)
· Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. (Thomas Alva Edison)
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.
