Melanie and her friend Joanna talked about jobs last week. Here’s the dialogue:

11. Melanie: “I won’t do a job which is no fun.”
12. Joanna: “But where can we find such a job?”
13. Melanie: “I don’t know. Have you ever had a really awful job?”
14. Joanna: “Don’t ask me about it, please! I worked in a terrible restaurant.
I would never do it again.”
15. Melanie: “Tell me about it!”
