Conversation Two
W: Hi! Come in. Have a seat. Ive found that article for you, you know, the one you were talking about the other day.
M: Oh great! That friend of mine who works in the library was not very helpful. He told me that the library doesnt subscribe to all foreign newspapers.
W: Yeah, so Ive heard. Anyway, the journalist who wrote this particular article really has a good feel for the subject. All of my friends who have read the piece say its spot on.
M: And do you agree with him?
W: Actually, the writer is a her. Yes, generally speaking, I do, at least most of the time. She thinks young people in Britain and America are spoilt because they have too much money, too much freedom and too long holidays.
M: Um, I see.
W: You see, she based her article on interviews with young people at a number of universities. Most of them had never had a job in their lives. They just expected their parents to pay for their holidays abroad and to give them lots of pocket money.
M: Well, perhaps jobs are hard to find.
W: Well, of course we are told there are very few jobs available at present. But still, everyone who really wants a job can find a job if they look hard enough.
M: Oh well, the situation is about the same here in China. But even though the government pays for their studies, some of the students who attend classes with me have to have a job during the holidays just to make ends meet.
