Fritz: Mrs. Jenkins, two months ago your cookbooks came out on the market. Can you
tell us a little about that?
Sarah: Well, I put a lot of money into these cookbooks, but they aren’t very successful.
Fritz: That’s terrible. How did this happen to a successful businesswoman like you?
Sarah: Well, obviously, the first thing a good cookbook must have is delicious recipes!
But that’s not enough. There are lots of good cookbooks out there. A successful
cookbook needs to be different from other cookbooks in some way. I was too busy
telling people what to do instead of just writing a successful cookbook.
Fritz: I see. So, what are your plans for the future?
Sarah: I have a new invention: it’s a house-cleaning robot.
Fritz: That sounds interesting. Do you think this time you will succeed?
Sarah: I think anything that helps people and gives them more free time will be a success.
Fritz: Well, that’s very interesting. Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.
Sarah: You’re welcome, Fritz.
