Given the question "Why does Phil do yard work?" and the answer "To earn money for school.", write a conversation that might have happened.


M: Hi, Mary!

W: Hello, Phil. How are you?

M: I'm fine. Where are you headed?

W: Oh, I'm on my way home from work.

M: I didn't know you had a job.

W: Yeah. I work part-time at a supermarket.

M: What do you do there?

W: I work in the produce section. Wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Phil?

M: Yeah. I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass, pulling weeds, things like that.

W: I'd like doing that. It must be nice to work outdoors.

M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too cold or...

W: Ha-ha. I guess every job has its shortcomings. There are times when I get really tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job's a job. Got to earn money for school.

M: Me, too. Tuition fee is high, isn't it? Well, I'd better get going. I've got to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.

W: Well. Don't work too hard. Holding down a job, going to class, studying. Sometimes it can become too much for one person. Take it easy.

M: You, too. It was great seeing you, Mary.
