S = Simon, K = Kate
S: Hey. So, I’m looking at some pictures on my
phone. This is Jack Goode. He’s one of my best
friends. We were at university together and now
Jack is a chef. He texted this morning and wants
to meet me and Kate for lunch. He has something
to show us and some news. Huh. After Jack
texted, I had a phone call from another friend,
Alyssa. Here she is. Alyssa has recently left her
job to attend a veterinary college. She’s always
loved wildlife, so she’s going to South Africa for
three months to work with big animals at a zoo.
She’s planning to become a vet, but she gave up
her job at a magazine. Can you imagine? I think
that she’s taking a big risk. She’s spending three
months travelling when she could save money
for college! Anyway, I’m meeting Kate and Jack at
a park near the Learning Curve studio. Hmm ... I’m
not sure I’m ready to hear more news about risky
business!
K: Hey, Simon. What’s up? You said Jack wants
to tell us something? Something surprising?
S: Jack has big news for us. But, just as I was
leaving my flat, Alyssa rang me, and ...
K: Oh, Alyssa! How is she?
S: She’s leaving her job! She’s gone on some
adventure to Pretoria, South Africa, for three
months. She’s working with wild animals at
the zoo!
K: Wow, sounds great! I’d do that if I had the
chance.
S: You do a lot of risky things that I wouldn’t.
Like, er, parachuting!
K: True! But Alyssa is adventurous, and I think
we should see the world when we’re young.
Don’t you?
S: No, I don’t think so. I mean, it’s fine to travel
the world if you’re on holiday. But Alyssa
doesn’t have a job to return to when she
comes home. You should never leave a job
without having another one. And she needs
to pay for her courses.
K: Oh, come on! Alyssa’s smart. She can find
work at a zoo when she graduates.
S: I’m not sure about that. There aren’t that
many jobs for vets at the zoo!
K: True, but I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.
S: I suppose so. But it is a challenge to be in
a place so far away from home! Her phone
might not work when she’s away from the
city. I couldn’t do that, could you?
K: Absolutely! I have survival skills. I’ve climbed
rocks and cliffs to see waterfalls, I’ve camped
in rainforests. I can go for days without my
cell phone. So yes, I would be able to survive.
And Alyssa can do it, too.
S: I don’t know, Kate. It sounds a bit dangerous
to me. And three months is a long time.
K: Here’s Jack now. I wonder what he’s planning
to tell us.
