M: Oh, he must be doing well.
W: Oh, yes, I think he is. He’s proud of having the largest farm in Kent.
M: I expect you’re looking forward to seeing him.
W: Yes, and I shall have some outdoor exercise.
M: You know, when I was young, I was quite good at ploughing.
W: Last time I was at my brother’s, I once tried my hand at milking a cow. The result was terrible! I'll never forget the pitiful look on that cow’s face!
(Text 9)
M: Miss Dermott, let me ask you straight away. Do you think, within a few years, many people could work
at home instead of working in offices?
W: Oh, yes. It’s happening now. You see, the communication industry has made much progress in the last ten years.
M: And how do these people manage to work? I mean, what equipment do they have at home?
W: Well, they have a television set, a computer, a printer and a telephone to connect with other computers.
M: Oh, I see. Surely there are some advantages in being able to work at home.
W: Yes. Working at home, people don’t have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their work places. The rush hours, as everyone knows, are the worst times of day to travel. Millions of people spend their working lives getting up early to avoid the rush hours.
