一 Hi, it's me again, Janet Li. I'm still a student at the University of Oxford in
England. But I'm not in Oxford right now. And I haven't gone back home to China
either. It's the long vacation now, and believe it or not, it's the middle of summer.
I'm spending my summer in one of the world's greatest cities. I'm in London, home
to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge ... and the double-decker bus. I
want to find out what it's like to live in this busy, lively city. So I'm working for
London Time Off, a website about what's on in London. This is Joe ... he's my boss,
and this is Andy, who is a reporter. And what's my job? Well, I don't know yet,
because it's my first day. But I'm meant to be shadowing Andy. Oh, what I mean is,
I'm going to be helping him. So can you tell me something about London, Andy?
Andy: It's the greatest city in the world.
Joe: Except for New York!
Andy: New York? Don't make me laugh!

Joe: No, I don't want your opinion, thank you very much. It's a
fact.
Andy: A fact! Are you serious?
Janet:

And here we are in London, probably the greatest city in the

myself ...
What? Probably? Excuse me, I prefer to deal with this
Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy ...
二 Janet: So when did you start working at London Time Off?
Andy: About a year ago.
Janet:
working here?
And I hope you don't mind my asking, but do you like
Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get along quite well. He drives
me crazy sometimes, because he's my boss, and I wish I earned a bit more money,
but ... I think my job is really cool, because I get to see everything that's happening
in London. And I didn't want to join the rat race.
Janet: What do you mean by the rat race?
