* Larissa has just arrived from her first job interview. Her teacher J.B. wants to know how was her impression about that experience.

Hi Lary! You seems to be very happy. What's going on?

Larissa - I just came from my interview.

Teacher - Cool! How did you get through it?

Larissa - Well, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep all night long. I thought that an English Job interview was too hard for me getting at. I mean, It's hard to explain but ...the idea of talking to someone who will evaluate if I'm able or not to do something ...got me down.

Teacher - Ok. That's normal. Let's talk about the interview. How did you get across with your intermediate English? I mean , Have you really got across?

Larissa - It was like a dream, teacher. Till now I can't get over how well I was. Although I couldn't speak the language fluently, I managed to get my meaning across when it was necessary. Despite being a little nervous I got on the interviewer.

Teacher - You don't realise how happy I am to hear that. Are you ready to get down to your Business Lessons?

Larissa - You can take it from me ,teacher. News soon will get around that Larissa Bagetti was addmitted in a big company. I'm more confident now.

Teacher - Congratulations! Now you need to get over of it and get down to your studies. I'm really proud of you. It's good to know that my warnings about the correct grammar to use in a job interview finally got through to you.

Larissa - Yeah, but I'm aware that there are many things I need to get through before being addmitted in a big company. I know that I must get up earlier and study a bit more.

Teacher - And don't forget to get over your shyness. You need to get away from it. Show your boss that you get along well with everybody.

Larissa - I will try to get over my shyness teacher.

Teacher - Have you ever told your Mom about the interview?

Larissa - Not yet. I intend to tell her when I get the job.

Teacher - There is no way of getting around it - your happiness is so evident. I'm sorry to say that you are going to have to tell her the truth.

Larissa - Ok. Teacher. I'll get on the next bus ...thanks a lot!

Teacher - Congratulations once more! Never forget that it's possible to get by if you desire is real. Never get rid of your dreams!!! Bye!
