Conversation One:
M: I really have no idea what to do during this summer holiday. I cant bear to just sit around, and there seem to be no jobs available.
W: Why dont you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Tom house-sat for the Alexanders when they went away on vacation. Mr. Alexander hired Tom to stay in their house because he didnt want it left empty.
M: You mean the Alexanders paid Tom just to live in their house?
W: It certainly wasnt that easy. He had to mow the lawn and water the houseplants and also feed the pets. And when Boris house-sat for Mr. Alexander, he had to help him with his farm.
M: I heard about baby-sitting, and house-sitting sounds just like it---except youre taking care of a house instead of children. It may be a suitable job for me.
W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
M: Do I just have to fill out an application form?
W: Yes, and Tom and Boris had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure youre not the type wholl throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.
M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably arent paid then.
