Can you start next week?

The Robinsons live in Brighton, a town on the British coast. They own a small hotel. The hotel is new but already very popular among the guests who come from other parts of Britain or from abroad. Now, the Robinsons need a housekeeper to help them. Mrs Robinson has an interview with an applicant for the job at the moment.

Mrs Robinson: So, Miss Smith, can I ask you a few questions?
Miss Smith: Certainly.
Mrs Robinson: Well Miss Smith, as you know, we are very busy at this time of the year. Can you work 6 days a week?
Miss Smith: Yes. I'm single, I have no family, so I can work 6 days a week.
Mrs Robinson: That's great!
Miss Smith: I can do the cleaning; I can do the washing and the ironing.
Mrs Robinson: And can you use the washing machine and the dishwasher?
Miss Smith: Of course! I can use any kind of electrical appliances.
Mrs Robinson: Perfect! And Miss Smith, can you cook as well?
Miss Smith: To tell the truth, I can do any kind of housework but unfortunately I can't cook.
Mrs Robinson: OK, it doesn't really matter. I'm just curious. And Miss Smith, we have two dogs. Can you take the dogs for a walk in the mornings?
Miss Smith: That's not a problem, I like animals. I have two cats at home.
Mrs Robinson: Thank you Miss Smith. I think you are the person we need. I have a final question. Can you start tomorrow?
Miss Smith: I'm very sorry, but I can't start tomorrow, but I can start on Monday. Is that all right for you?
Mrs Robinson: Oh, absolutely. It is not a problem if you can't start tomorrow. You can start on Monday.
Miss Smith: Thank You Mrs Robinson.
Mrs Robinson: Thank You Miss Smith. See you on Monday at 7.00 am!

HOUSEWORK AND MENDING

The Browns are a very busy family. Mr Brown is a bank manager, his wife, Mrs Brown works as a doctor in a private health care centre. They hardly have time to do the housework, so they pay a cleaning lady to help them with the housework. Mr Brown is not a 'Jack of all trades'; he can't even change a bulb. When something goes wrong in their house they need to call a repairman who can fix it. If you don't have a cleaner, you have to do the housework at home.
